PBH-series balances are designed for fast and precise measurements of weighed loads masses and
direct commercial settlements. Taring in full weighing range enables to determine net mass of
weighed loads.
1.2. PRECAUTIONS
•Prior to first use, it is highly recommended to carefully read this User Manual, and
oper
ate the balance as intended.
•Do not use the balance for a dynamic weighing. Even if small quantities of weig
aterial are added or removed from the weighing pan of the instrument, the reading
m
should be taken only after stabilization of the measurement results.
•While loading the balance make sure that load is placed in the very center of the
weighing pan.
•Make sure the load does not exceed instrument’s measuring range (maximum capacity).
•Do not leave heavy loads on the weighing pan for a long period of time.
•In case of failure, immediately unplug the instrument.
•Balances to be decommissioned, should be decommissioned in accordance with vali
gal regulations.
le
•Do not use the balance is areas endangered with explosion. The balance is not
designed to operate in EX zones.

1.3. BATTERY
The device connected to mains power monitors the battery state and charges it if possible. After
sudden lack of power supply from the mains the device automatically switches to accumulator
without breaking operation.
PBH scales are devices designed to be supplied from SLA accumulators (Sealed lead acid type) 6V
and capacity 3 to 4Ah charged while connected to mains without stopping operation.
In case of an elongated storage period in low temperatures, it is not allowed the full
discharge of the accompanied batteries.
he equipment including accumulators does not belong
T
to your regular household waste. The European legislation requires that electric and
electronic equipment be collected and disposed separately from other communal waste
with the aim of being recycled.
C
aution:
Some symbols on accumulators identify harmful elements/compounds: Pb = lead,
Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury.

air bubble is in the center position.
The balance should firmly rest on a surface, each of the feet must be supported.
2.6. POWERING THE DEVICE
Before plugging in your balance, it is imperative to wait until the balance reaches thermal
stabilization (estimated 1-8 hours). On switching on, the balance requires 30 minutes of temperature
stabilization time. During temperature stabilization displayed information may change. Adjustment
should be carried out after temperature stabilization.
r correct operation of the balance the temperature range is +15˚C ± +30˚C; Any changes of
Fo
temperature and humidity during operation can cause indication errors. Errors can be corrected by
carrying out user adjustment.
For
balances that were stored in much lower temperatures (e.g. during winter period), thermal
stabilization period may be extended.
•Balance should be plugged in only with the power adapter that comes standard wit
he model. Nominal power supply of the power adapter (specified on the power
t
adapter data plate) should be compatible to the power supply.
•Plug the balance in – connect the power adapter to the socket, next connect its
connector to port located at the back of the balance housing.
•Press button on the key pad.
!Remember to start the balance with no load on the weighing pan
•Test of the display unit takes place right after connecting the balance to the power, all
the elements and pictograms are backlit for a short time.
•Next, the name and the program number appears
•the indication gets to ZERO (displayed reading unit depends on the balance). During

Cleaning anti-draft chamber while still installed may cause damage to the measuring system.
13.2.1 CLEANING ABS COMPONETS
To clean dry surfaces and avoid smudging, use clean non-coloring cloths made of cellulose or
cotton. You can use a solution of water and detergent (soap, dishwashing detergent, glass
cleaner). Gently rub the cleaned surface and let it dry. Repeat cleaning process if needed.
In the case when contamination is hard to remove, e.g. adhesive, rubbe r, resin, polyurethane foam
residues etc., you can use a special cleaning agents based on a mixture of al iphatic hydrocarbons
that do not dissolve plastics. Before using the cleanser for all surfaces, we recommend carrying
out tests. Do not use products containing abrasive substances.
13.2.2 CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL COMPONETS
Avoid using cleansers containing any corrosive chemicals, e.g. bleach (containing chlorine). Do
not use products containing abrasive substances. Always remove the dirt using microfiber cloth to
avoid damage of protective coating.
In case of a daily maintenance:
1.
Remove the dirt using cloth dipped in warm water.
