The PBL-Series precision balance enables fast and accurate mass measurements under
laboratory conditions.
The weighing pan, made of stainless steel and equipped with anti-draft shield, is an integral part of
the PBL-series balance. Backlit LCD display ensures clear measurement result. The PBL-Series
balance is equipped with an internal battery (comes standard), so it does not have to be connected
to the mains.
The PBL-series balance is equipped with the following interfaces: RS 232, USB type A, USB type
B. The interfaces enable cooperation between the balance and peripheral devices (e.g. printer,
computer, flash drive).
PRECAUTIONS
• Prior to first use, it is highly recommended to carefully read this User Manual, and
operate the balance as intended.
• Do not use the balance for a dynamic weighing. Even if small quantities of weighed
material are added or removed from the weighing pan of the instrument, the reading
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 valid
legal regulations.
• Do not use the balance is areas endangered with explosion. The balance is not
designed to operate in EX zones.
BATTERY
The PBL-Series balance is supplied by NiMH-type battery (nickel-metal- hydrogen) of 18002800mAh capacity.
In case of prolonged storage of the balance in low temperature, the battery must be
charged.
A worn-out battery can be replaced only by the manufacturer or by the authorized
service.
The equipment including accumulators does not belong to regular household waste.
The European legislation requires electric and electronic equipment to be collected
and disposed separately from other communal waste with the aim of being recy cled.
Notice:
Symbols on accumulators identify harmful compounds: Pb = lead, Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury.
WARRANTY CONDITIONS
1

C. Warranty card must be filled out for warranty to be valid.
UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION
PLACE OF USE AND ASSEMBLING
•The balance should be stored and used in locations free of vibrations and shakes, free
of air movement and dust.
• Ambient air temperature should not exceed the range of: +15 °C to +30 °C.
• Ambient relative humidity should not exceed 80%.
• During balance operation, ambient temperature in the weighing room should not change
rapidly.
•The balance should be located on a stable wall console desk or a stable working table
which is not affected by vibrations and distant from heat sources.
•Keep all package element should your device be transported in the future. Remember
that only original packaging can be used for shipping purposes. Prior to packing,
uncouple any cables, remove any separable components (weighing pan, shields,
inserts). Pack the device components into an original packaging. The original packaging
protects the equipment against potential damage during transportation.

BALANCE LEVELING
It is necessary to level the balance prior to plugging it in. To level the balance, turn its feet until the
air bubble is in the center position.
The balance should firmly rest on a surface, each of the feet must be supported.
POWERING THE DEVICE
Before plugging in your balance, it is imperative to wait until the balance reaches thermal stabilization
4
(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.
For correct operation of the balance the temperature range is +15˚C to +30˚C;
Any changes of 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
with the model. Nominal power supply of the power adapter (specified on the
power 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 the balance start, the test of an internal mass adjustment mechanism
occurs (single location and elevation of the internal mass adjustment).
•If the indication is different than zero, please press button

ADJUSTMENT
In order to ensure the highest weighing accuracy, it is recommended to periodically introduce a
corrective factor of indications to balance memory, the said factor must be referred to a reference mass.
It is a balance adjustment.
Adjustment has to be carried out:
•
Prior to weighing
•
If long breaks between following measuring series occur
•
If the ambient temperature has changed dynamically
•
If the balance's place of use has changed
Types of adjustment:
•
External adjustment <1.1.CA-E> carried out with external weight of declared mass which
cannot be modified.
•
User adjustment <1.2.CA-u> carried out with any external weight of mass equal or greater than
30% of maximum capacity.
E XTERN AL ADJUSTMENT

MAITENANCE
Disassembly of weighing pan and other detachable components (the components differ depending
on a balance type – see: UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION sectio n ).
Caution:
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 d etergent, 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, rubber, resin, polyurethane foam
residues etc., you can use a special cleaning agents based on a mixture of aliphatic 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.
35
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.
2.
For best results, add a little dishwashing detergent.
