All scales are metrological tested - calibration or legal verification on demand.
Scales have following verification features:
a seal protecting scale casing against opening,
- notified body stamps and green metrological marking placed on the balance name plate.
Renewing of scale legal verification is required when protective seal is violated or after period of 3 years
starting from 1st December of year when first legal verification was performed.
In order to renew legal verification please contact authorized service of AXIS.

5. Security rules
To avoid electrical shock or damage of the scale or
connected peripheral devices, it is necessary to follow the
security rules below.
All repairs and necessary regulations can be made by authorised personnel only.
To avoid fire risk use a feeder of an appropriate type (supplied with the scale).
Pay attention that supply voltage is compatible with specified technical data.
Do not use the scale when its cover is opened.
Do not use the scale in explosive conditions.
Do not use the scale in high humidity.
If the scale seems not to operate properly, unplug it from the mains and do not
use until checked by authorised service.
6. Environment protection
According to legal regulations it if forbidden to dispose
wasted electronic equipment in waste containers.
Please return wasted scale to the point of purchase or other company specialised
in recycling of wasted electronic components.
USER MANUAL 7
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
7. Preparing working environment
Location for the scale should be chosen with care in order to limit influence of the factors that can interrupt
working scale. This location has to maintain proper temperature for working scale and necessary space for
its operating. The scale should stay on stable table made of material that does not influence magnetically
on the scale.
Rapid air blows, vibrations, dust, rapid temperature changes or air humidity over 90% are not allowed in
scale surrounding. The scale should be far from heat sources and devices emitting strong electromagnetic
or magnetic fields.
8. Preparing scale to work
1. Take the scale out of the package removing protective
foils. It is recommended to keep the original package in
order to transport the balance safely in future.
2. Take a pan off and remove protective elements from
below the pan.
3. Place the scale on a stable ground not affected by
mechanical vibrations and airflows.
4. Level the scale with the rotating rear legs so that the
air bubble in the water-level at the back of the scale is
in the middle.

8 BD/T USER MANUAL
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
9. General operation principles
1. In order to confirm correctness of the scale during its operation, before starting and after finishing every
valid measurement series it is recommended to check weighing accuracy putting calibration weight or other
object of exactly known mass on the scale. In the case when allowable measurement error of the scale is
exceeded, it is recommended to perform calibration with external weight or contact authorised service
centre.
2. Weighed mass should be placed in the middle of the pan.
3. The scale allows taring in the whole measuring range. To tare the scale press key. Taring does not
extend measuring range, but only subtracts tare value from mass value of a sample placed on the pan. To
make the control of a load on the pan easier and to avoid exceeding measurement range, the scales have
load indicator calibrated 0÷100%.
4. Weighing result should be read when the indicator lights, which signalises result stabilisation.
5. When the scale is not used but it is necessary for it to be ready to work, it can be switched off by
pressing I/ key. The scale reading system is then switched off and scale goes to standby mode signalled
with OFF indicator. Switching the scale on is preformed by pressing I/ key.
6. In sales having key (zeroing) active it should be checked if zero indicator is displayed before
sample is placed on the pan. If not, press key and wait until the scale is zeroed and zero indicator
appears. After that load can be placed on scale pan.
7. Scale mechanism is a precise device sensitive to overweight, mechanical shocks and strokes.
Do not overload the scale more than 20% of maximum capacity.
Do not press the pan with a hand.
For transportation pan, pan support and pan ring should be packed separately.
USER MANUAL 9

10. Operation rules during work with accumulators (batteries)
1. Scale can be powered from ~230V supply through feeder attached with scale. Moreover accumulators,
which are placed in container inside the scale, can be used for powering. Ordinary batteries can be
used as well.
2. In order to make accumulators (batteries) discharging time longer, automatic switching off display
backlight and next the whole scale is possible during breaks in weighing. Configuration of these
mechanisms is done using b_LIGHT and Auto OFF functions.
3. Charging accumulators is performed automatically after connecting feeder to the scale, also during
weighing. Accumulator power level can be read using bAttErY function (bat VoL option).
11. Scale checking
It is advised to check scale indication accuracy before and after series of measurement using any load with
known weight.
To check the scale with legal verification use a calibration weight with valid calibration certificate. In case
permissible error is exceeded it is advised to contact the nearest service to calibrate the scale.
When using batteries in place of accumulators, charging during work with feeder have
to be switched off. bAttErY function is used for this purpose (bAt OFF option), which is
described in further part of manual. Charging batteries can cause their breaking and
serious damage of the scale.
10 BD/T USER MANUAL
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
12. Scale calibration (CAL)
If scale indications exceed permissible error it is necessary to adjust a balance. To calibrate a balance use
Max mass calibration weight (see Max value in Technical Data table).
To adjust a scale it is necessary to break protective marks – please contact the nearest
service for legal verification in a place of installation or the nearest Measurements Office.
Performing calibration requires changing adjustment switch position, which is placed behind protecting
mark (sticker) of a notified body. An access to the switch is possible only after removing the mark.
Therefore, scale calibration causes lost of legal verification and, in consequence, the necessity of renew
legal verification in the nearest notified body or in place where the balance is used.
Before proceeding with calibration, adjustment switch should be set to ON position using thin screwdriver.
When calibration process, described on next page, is finished, adjustment switch should be set to OFF
position using thin screwdriver (the balance will move to weighing).

13. Connecting a computer, printer or label printer
The scale is equipped with RS232C, which can be used to connect external devices such as computer or
a printer.
When cooperating with computer, the scale sends weighing result after initialize signal from computer or
after pressing key on the scale.
When cooperating with a printer data is send automatically after result stabilisation, but next transmission is
possible after removing previously weighted sample.
When cooperating with label printer after pressing key, the scale sends instructions set for the label
printer. Label number 0001, hour, data (if the clock is installed and on) and nett weight. During transmission
LabEL communicate is displayed.
The way of sending data and transmission parameters is set using SErIAL special function.
Set of send data is set using special function PrInt.
The following data can be send:
- Header (scale type, Max, d, e, serial number),
- Operator identification number,
- Successive printout number (measurement),
- Identification number or product bar code,
- Number of pcs (PCS function only),
- Single detail mass (PCS function only),
- Nett weight,
- Tare (package mass),
- Gross weight,
- Total mass (Total function only).
If the scale is equipped with two serial joints Print function is set independently for both interfaces.
Computer must have a special program for cooperation with data from a scale.
Dedicated programs are also offered by AXIS.
Except RS232C joint, the scale can be equipped with USB or Wi-Fi interface.
Needed controllers and instruction can be found on a CD supplied with Axis scales.
