1. General description

AGN series balances are destined for high accuracy weighing in laboratory practice. AGN series balances are equipped with internal calibration system for accuracy control during balance operation. All balances are metrologically tested. According to an order balances can be calibrated or legally verified. Legal verification (conformity assessment) of balances is required for special applications listed in regulation of Ministry of Labour and Social Policy from 11th December of 2003 (direct sale, tariffs, pharmaceutical recipes, medical and pharmaceutical analysis, goods packing and others). Balances with legal verification are marked with the following legal and securing items:

- green metrological mark placed on the balance name plate,

- notified body stamp (number of notified body) on the balance name plate,

- protective seals placed on: an edge of balance name plate, the casing mounting

screw and in the place of access to adjustment switch, Renewing of balance 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.

6. Safety rules

It is necessary to follow safety rules of work with the balance shown below. Obeying those rules is the condition to avoid electrical shock or damage of the balance or connected peripheral devices.

 Repairs and necessary regulations can be done by authorised personnel

only.

 To avoid fire risk use a feeder of an appropriate type (supplied with the

balance) and supply voltage have to be compatible with specified technical data.

 Do not use the balance when its cover is opened.  Do not use the balance in explosive conditions.  Do not use the balance in high humidity environment.

 If the balance seems not to operate properly, switch it off and do not use

until checked by authorised service.

AGN series balances aren’t destined in home practice. According to current acts of low about protection of natural environment, wasted balances should not be put into waste containers together with ordinary waste.

 Wasted balance after operation period can be delivered to units

authorized for gathering wasted electronic devices or to the place where it was bought.

USER MANUAL 9

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

7. Preparing working environment

+18°C

+30°C

Location for the balance should be chosen with care in order to limit influence of the factors that can interrupt working balance. This location has to maintain proper temperature for working balance and necessary space for its operating. The balance should stay on stable table made of material that does not influence magnetically on the balance. Rapid air blasts, vibrations, dust, rapid temperature changes or air humidity over 75% are not allowed in balance surrounding. The balance should be far from heat sources and devices emitting strong electromagnetic or magnetic fields.

10 USER MANUAL

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

8. Preparing balance to work

1. Take the balance, the feeder and

mechanical elements of the pan out. It is recommended to keep the original scale package in order to transport the balance safely in future.

2. Place the balance on a stable

ground not affected by mechanical vibrations and airflows.

3. Level the balance with rotating

legs 6 so that the air bubble in water level 7 at the back of the balance is in the middle.

4. Place tin floor 4 of weighing

chamber.

5. Place ring 3 protecting the pan

against hit from a side.

6. Gently insert the mandrel of

pan support 2 into balance mechanism socket and put the pan 1 on.

7. Connect feeder output connector into 12V socket at back of the balance.

If the balance was taken from a lower temperature surrounding to a room with higher temperature, e.g. in winter, moisture can liquefy on the balance casing. Do not connect power supply to the balance, because this can cause damage or improper work of the balance. In this case leave the balance for at least 4 hours unplugged for acclimatization in the place, where the balance will work.

USER MANUAL 11

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

9. General operation principles

1. After every change of balance position, level the balance and perform internal

calibration.

2. Weighed sample should be placed in the centre of the pan

3. In direct sale use (d=e), make sure that 0 zero indicator is displayed before

sample is placed on the pan. If not, press 0 key and wait until the balance is zeroed and zero indicator appears. In other balances the key does not operate.

4. The balance allows taring in the whole measuring range. To tare the balance press

T

key (on the left or on the right). 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 pan load easier and to avoid crossing measurement range, the balance has a load indicator calibrated 0÷100% Max.

5. Weighing result should be read when the indicator " " lights, which signalises

stabilisation of a result.

6. When the balance is not used but should be ready to work immediately, it can be

switched off by pressing I/ key. The backlight of balance reading system is then switched off and the balance enters into "standby" mode, in which the balance maintains internal temperature and ability to start working with maximum accuracy. Standby mode is signalled by the OFF indicator. To switch the balance on press I/ key.

7. Balance mechanism is a precise device sensitive to mechanical shocks and

strokes.

8. The balance cannot be used to weigh ferromagnetic materials due to decrease of

weighing accuracy.

Do not overload the balance more than 20% of maximum capacity. Do not press the pan with a hand.

For transportation take off the pan and pan support (lift it gently up) and secure against damages.

12 USER MANUAL

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

10. Start-up

Plug feeder into 230V power supply socket and feeder connector into 12V socket at back of the balance.

After switching-on, the balance performs automatic self-tests. All tests should be successfully completed what is signalled with mark.

Afterwards the balance enters automatically into internal calibration mode, which is described with details in next chapter. In balances that are not legally verified, calibration can be terminated using CLR key. When internal calibration is finished, the balance enters into normal weighing mode.

It is recommended before making measurements to wait until internal temperature of balance stabilize. To accomplish that, the balance should be turned on for more than 2 hours before measurements. From the perspective of measurements accuracy continuous balance operation is beneficial.

11. Internal calibration

The balance is equipped with internal calibration system, which general task is to maintain required measurement accuracy on the balance. Internal calibration is the process of putting internal weight on automatically by balance mechanism and correcting accuracy in balance firmware. The correction is necessary because of differences between values of gravitational acceleration in the place where the balance was manufactured and in the place where it is operated, as well as due to changes of balance level and temperature. Internal calibration is performed in the following situations:

- when key is pressed,

- after defined time interval (for legally verified balances - 2 hours),

- after temperature change (for legally verified balances – more than 2oC). In legally verified balances time interval is set to 2 hours and defined temperature change is 2oC. In not legally verified balances those values can be set as calibration options. The reason of starting internal calibration is shown as an icon near weight picture.

13 USER MANUAL

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

In order to perform internal, calibration proceed with the following:

Empty the pan. Press key twice (double pressing

the key helps to avoid accidental starting calibration procedure).

During calibration internal weight is put three times on and obtained results are compared. Discrepancy of results is signalled with a message and causes the balance being blocked. Until calibration process is finished do not perform any operation on the balance. Any vibrations and shocks interfere calibration process and may delay it or deteriorate accuracy of its result.

When internal calibration is performed successfully the balance indicates zero on the display at empty pan.

Note:

In order to terminate calibration process in not legally verified balances press CLR key and wait until balance mechanism is not settled in initial position.

12. Checking the balance

In order to confirm correctness of the balance during its operation, before starting and after finishing every measurement series it is advised to check weighing accuracy. It can be done by weighing external calibration weight or other object with exactly known mass. If exceeding of allowable measurement error is affirmed, the following things should be checked:

- if the balance stands stable and it is levelled,

- if the balance is exposed on rapid air blasts, vibrations, rapid temperature

changes or air humidity,

- if the balance is not affected directly by heat source, electromagnetic

radiation or magnetic field. The cause of inaccuracy can be too low temperature of the balance as well, when it was unplugged from power supply. In this situation leave the balance switched on for several minutes in order to adjust its internal temperature. If none of above causes of inaccuracy occurs, calibration with external weight should be performed to the balance. Recommended external calibration weight (to buy for additional charge) is given in technical data table. In order to calibrate the balance with external weight in legally verified balances verification seals should be removed and another legal verification should be performed. In this case it is recommended to contact authorized service centre. Calibration with external weight is described in details in chapter 14.5.

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.

14.5 Function for calibration with external weight / calibration options

Calibration with external weight should be performed if balance accuracy after internal calibration is not satisfactory. Calibration weight stated in technical data table for the balance (or of better accuracy) with valid verification certificate should be used then.

Calibration of legally verified balance requires violating a mark used to protect an access to adjustment switch and results in loosing legal verification. To renew legal verification of the balance, it is necessary to contact a service centre or notified body.

In legally verified balances 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, balance 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 of legally verified balance, adjustment switch should be set to ON position using thin screwdriver (the balance will display the message Calibration switch ON! and generate a sound). When calibration process, described on next page, is finished, the balance will display the message Calibration switch ON!. Adjustment switch should be set to OFF position using thin screwdriver (the balance will move to weighing).

14.21 Density measurement function (option)

This function allows for determination of solid body density, upon the basis of weight in the air and weight of material immersed in liquid of known density, according to the formula:

m1 ρ =  * ρ liquid m1- m2 where: m1-mass in the air m2-mass in the liquid

The measurement consists of two phases: Phase I – solid body sample measurement in the air Phase II – measurement with immersion in the liquid

This function also allows for determination of liquid density, upon the basis of plunger weight (with known density) in the air and tested liquid. The following formula is used:

m1 - m2 ρ =  V

where: m1-plunger mass in the air m2-plunger mass in the liquid V – plunger volume

The plunger volume is indicated on its hanger.

This measurement also takes place in two phases: Phase I – plunger measurement in the air Phase II – measurement with immersion in the liquid

More comprehensive description is delivered with the Hydro Set.

15. Procell program description (demo version)

Procell is used to forward weighing results from balance to almost any application working on Windows operating system (e.g. spreadsheet) into place, where active cursor is set.

In order to write a series of weighing results into Excel table proceed with the following:

1. Connect the balance to RS232C computer serial port,

2. Run ProCELL,

3. During first start-up close registration window (or contact AXIS to register the

program),

4. Open spreadsheet (ProCELL will be covered by application window),

5. Set the cursor in desired place and press key on the balance several times. The program automatically detects computer port (COM1-COM4), sets

communication parameters and hides into taskbar at the bottom of the screen (or into systray). After that only Excel spreadsheet and key on the balance are used.

58 INSTRUKCJA OBSŁUGI

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Troubleshooting and maintenance

1. The balance should be kept clean.

2. Take care that no dirt is between the casing and the pan. If a dirt is noticed, take

off the pan (lift it up), clean a dirt and then mount the pan.

3. In case of improper operation caused by a short-lasting lack of power supply,

switch the balance off by unplugging it from the mains, and then after several seconds switch it on.

4. All repairs of the balance should be performed by authorised service centre.

5. To repair a balance, please contact nearest service centre.

6. Balances can be sent for repair as messenger delivery only in original package,

if not, there is a risk of damaging the balance and loosing guarantee.
