1.0KNOW YOUR BALANCE

Thank you for selecting the Luna Balance from Adam Equipment.

This Instruction Manual will familiarise you with the installation, use, general maintenance etc. of the balance, and will guide you through the various applications. It also covers accessories, trouble-shooting, after sales service information, and other important information.

These balances are highly accurate precision instruments and contain sensitive mechanisms and components. They should be transported and handled with care. When in operation, be careful to place loads gently on the weighing surface and do not overload or exceed recommended maximum capacity of the instrument or damage may occur.

Please read this Manual thoroughly before starting operation. If you need any clarifications, feel free to contact your supplier or Adam Equipment.

4.0UNPACKING THE BALANCE

Remove the balance from the packing by carefully lifting it out of the box. Inside the box you will find everything needed to start using the balance-

AC mains power adapter & cord

Stainless Steel Top Pan

Alloy sub-pan

User documentation

Carefully follow the quick setup guide included to assemble the balance.

5.0LOCATING THE BALANCE

The balance should not be placed in a location that will reduce the accuracy.

Avoid extremes of temperature. Do not place in direct sunlight or near air conditioning vents.

Avoid unsuitable tables. The table or floor must be rigid and not vibrate.

Avoid unstable power sources. Do not use near large users of electricity such as welding equipment or large motors.

Do not place near vibrating machinery.

Avoid high humidity that might cause condensation. Avoid direct contact with water. Do not spray or immerse the balances in water.

Avoid air movement such as from fans or opening doors. Do not place near open windows or air-conditioning vents.

Keep the balance clean. Do not stack material on the balances when they are not in use.

Avoid sources of static electricity. This can affect measurement accuracy and may damage sensitive electronics.

6.0SETTING UP THE BALANCE

6.1ASSEMBLING THE BALANCE

Carefully follow the below guide to assemble the balance. Ensure that you locate the balance on a solid level surface, free from vibration.

6.1.1Levelling the balance

After placing the balance in a suitable location, level it by using the spirit level on the front of the balance. To level the balance turn the two adjustable feet at the front of the balance until the bubble in the spirit level is centred.

6.1.2Warm-Up Time

Before you start weighing, you should allow the balance to achieve a stable internal temperature. For accurate weighing to the manufacturer’s specification it is important to power on the balance and allow to warm up for at least 6 hours for LBB + LTB models, and

12 hours for LAB + LPB models.

Insert the power supply cable DC connector to the connector on the rear of the balance. Plug the power supply module into the mains and press the power switch on the keypad to turn on the balance. The display will indicate the balance serial number followed by the software revision number, followed by the maximum capacity of the balance. Next the balance will run a selftest by displaying all segments followed by a busy symbol and a line of 7 dashes indicating the balance is in busy mode. Once ready, the display will show a zero weight reading, accompanied by the 0 symbol.

6.1.3Weighing

Once a suitable warm-up period is complete and you are ready to start weighing, place an item to be weighed on the balance. A stable symbol is shown when the balance is in stable condition. It will turn off if the balance is not stable.

Exact zero is shown when the “0“ symbol is visible on the top left of the display area. [display photo changed]

6.2 CALIBRATION

Units with an ‘i’ suffix can be calibrated using either internal calibration mechanism or by using an external mass. Units with an ‘e’ suffix can only be calibrated with an external mass.

Internal calibration option must be enabled in the setup menu options or else external calibration mode will be used when the [Cal] key is pressed

6.2.1External Calibration

Pressing the [Cal]

Display shows:

Press the [Setup

Display shows 

For analytical and LPB623 and LPB823 models, the display shows an appropriate weight for your model, load the weight.

For precision models, then display shows		press [Unit] or [Cal] to
select calibration weight value, and then press the [Setup], display shows
	load the weight
Display shows	
Display shows	remove the weight and clear the top pan.

Display shows:  then returns to zero. The calibration is complete

6.2.2Motorised Internal Calibration

If your balance is fitted with internal calibration (i models), then press [Cal] and the balance will automatically run through the above processes and finish calibration.

6.2.3Calibration Errors

Occasionally during calibration an error will be detected. These errors can be caused by:

Unstable readings

Improper calibration weights being used

Large shifts of zero from the factory settings

When an error is found a displayed message will be shown and the calibration must be done again. If the balance has error messages more than once it is possible the mechanics have been damaged

7.0DISPLAY

The LCD has several areas-

A large 7 digit area to display the weight with symbols for common weighing units on its right and symbols for zero, tare (Net) and stability on the left.

Text symbols above the display show the current operation or function being used.

7.1 SYMBOLS AND TEXT

The LCD has unique symbols to indicate the following:

0	Zero

	Busy

	Stable
g, mg, kg, ct, dwt, GN, ozt, oz,	Symbols shown for units and modes
N, Custom, g/cc, Pcs, %,

[removed battery symbol from the table above]

Indicators:
“CAL”	When calibration is occurring or about to occur
“ti”	For a time driven calibration
“ºC”	When a temperature is shown or a temperature
	driven calibration is to occur
“Net”	When a net weight is shown
