USER MANUAL

3. Safety rules

• All repairs and necessary regulations can be made by authorised

personnel only.

• To avoid fire risk use a feeder of an appropriate type (if feeder is

supplied with the scale) and supply voltage has to be compatible with specified technical data.

It is necessary to follow safety rules of work with the

scale shown below. Obeying those rules is the

condition to avoid electrical shock or damage of the

scale or connected peripheral devices.

• 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 environment.

• If the scale seems not to operate properly, switch it off and do not use

until checked by authorised service.

According to current acts of low about protection of

natural environment, wasted scales should not be put

into waste containers together with ordinary waste.

• Wasted scale after operation period can be delivered to units authorized

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

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.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

USER MANUAL

8. Preparing scale to work

1. Take the scale and feeder out of the package.

2. Place the scale on a stable ground not affected by mechanical vibrations and airflows.

3. Level the scale using rotating legs 6 water level 7

so that the air bubble in

at the back of the

scale is in the middle.

4. Put draft shield 8 and cover 9

on it.

on the scale

Scale should be transported in the way, that there is no risk of accidental pressing or overweighing a pan.

If the scale was taken from a lower temperature surrounding to a room

with higher temperature, e.g. in winter, moisture can liquefy on the

scale casing. Do not connect power supply to the scale, because this

can cause damage or improper work of the scale. In this case leave the

scale for at least 4 hours unplugged for acclimatization.

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

→T←

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/

6. In sales having

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.

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).

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

AXIS offers computer programs to cooperate with scales, available on

www.axis.pl website:

- Communication – free program for sending simple commands to the scale and receiving weighing results,

- ProCell – program for cooperation with Microsoft EXCEL and other

Microsoft Windows applications (demo version).

Detailed information for programmers (LONG protocol): When cooperating with a computer, the scale sends data as follows:

When cooperating with a computer, the scale sends weighing result after initialising signal from a computer or after pressing

key on the scale.

For cooperation with the scale a computer should be equipped with software allowing receiving data from the scale and using it further.

Computer → Scale: S I CR LF (53h 49h 0Dh 0Ah) - initiating signal, Scale → Computer: scale sends 16 data according to the following format:
