4.3 USER-DEFINED UNIT

You may create two custom user-defined units. Displayed value of a user-defined unit is a multiplication of measured mass value and a coefficient specified for the user-defined unit. The units

can be freely named with use of 3 characters’ maximum. By default, the names are displayed as

[u1] – user unit 1, and [u2] – user unit 2.

4.4 BALANCE ZEROING

Zeroing is a function allowing to zero mass indication.

The Zeroing process is an equivalent for determining new zero point, recognized by the balance as precise zero. Zeroing is possible only for stable status of display indication.

 CAUTION

Zeroing the display indication is possible only within ±2% range of instrument’s maximum

capacity. If the zeroed value is above ±2% of the maximum capacity, then the balance indicates a respective error message.

4.5 BALANCE TARING

Taring is a function allowing to determine net weight of a measured object. To determine net weight

of the object, place object’s container (packaging) on the weighing pan, and on stabilization of

measurement result press key.

The balance enables assigning tare value to a database-stored product. Using this option, the software automatically uploads data on tare value for a product upon its selection from the database.

 CAUTION

Taring negative values is impossible. On taring negative values, the balance responds with an error message. In such case, zero balance indication and repeat taring procedure.

Manual tare determination

• Press key.

• The NET marker is deleted, and new zero point of the balance is determined.

Procedure 2 – with tared load on the weighing pan

 Press key.  The NET marker is deleted, and new zero point of the balance is determined.  When tare value exceeds 2% of the maximum capacity, respective message is displayed to

inform a user about the fact.

Selecting tare value out of TARE DATABASE Procedure:

 While in optional mode, press button located in a top right hand corner of the mass

display.

 Wait for a respective window to open, next select <PACKAGING>.  Window with a list of tare values recorded into tare database opens.  Select the packaging that is to be used.  The balance returns to the weighing mode, and the display indicates selected tare value

with a minus ‘–‘ sign.

 While in optional mode, press button (if displayed on the screen),  Window with a list of tare values recorded into tare database opens.  Select the packaging that is to be used.  The balance returns to the weighing mode, and the display indicates selected tare value

with a minus ‘–‘ sign.

4.6 WEIGH MODE SETTINGS

The balance allows setup of operating parameters (filters, value release and autozero function, deleting the last digit and other settings) separately for each working mode.

Procedure:

Filter level setting

Filter settings adjustment depends on the working environment. For the best possible conditions the filter can work in a very fast mode (V.FAST value for Filter parameter); however, if the conditions are poor (shakes, drafts), the filter should be set to slow or very slow option (SLOW or V. SLOW value for Filter parameter). The effectiveness of the filter is different throughout the weighing range.

The filter works slower when “approaching” the weighed mass, it works more quickly for weighed

mass within the set range of the filter (parameter for setting filter range is accessible only from the service menu – the user does not have any access to it).

Depending on the filter, the weighing time is shorter (V.FAST and FAST) or longer (SLOW and V. SLOW).

CAUTION! The higher filter level, the longer the weighing time.

Value release

Since ambient conditions at a workplace vary, it is necessary to determine the value release parameter that are best for your working environment, parameter options are: FAST.+REL., FAST or RELIABLE. Depending on the selected option, weighing time is either shorter or longer.

Autozero function

The balance features an autozero function (Auto). This function automatically controls and corrects the zero reading. When Autozero is enabled, it compares balance readings at declared time interval e.g. 1s, if weighing pan is unloaded and display indication is close to zero. If results vary less than declared AUTOZERO range e.g. one division, balance zeroes automatically, marker of stable

measurement result , and precise zero marker are displayed. If AUTOZERO function is enabled, then each weighing process starts from precise zero point.

There are, however, some instances when this function can be a disturbing factor for the measuring process; e.g. very slow placing of a load on the weighing pan (load adding). Here, zero reading correction can also correct the actual reading of loaded mass.

Last digit display

Function enables displaying the last digit of decimal place for a weighing result. There are three available options:

 Always: all digits visible  Never: last digit is not displayed  When stable: last digit is displayed only for a stable weighing result

Balance ambient conditions

Parameter relating to ambient and environmental conditions in which the balance operates. There are two options: STABLE and UNSTABLE. Selecting STABLE mode makes the balance work much faster, i.e. weighing takes much less time than for UNSBABLE mode. If the ambient conditions are unstable it is recommended to use UNSTABLE mode. By default, the parameter is set to STABLE option.

5. ADJUSTMENT

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 mass standard. In other words, balance adjustment shall be performed from time to time.

Adjustment should be carried out:

• Before the beginning of weighing procedure

• If long breaks between following measuring series occur

• If temperature inside the balance changes more than: 1°C or 2°C for Analytical balances or 2°C

for Precision series balances.

Types of adjustment:

• Internal automatic adjustment

• Manual internal adjustment

• Adjustment with an external weight of declared mass which cannot be modified or of any mass,

but not lower than 30% of maximum range.

5.1 INTERNAL AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT

This menu is for declaring a value initiating an automatic internal adjustment. Accessible options:

 None – automatic adjustment disabled  Time – adjustment takes place in time intervals declared in menu <Automatic adjustment

time>. The time interval is declared in hours and ranges between 0.5 and 12 hours.

 Temperature – adjustment is triggered by temperature change only  Both – adjustment is triggered by both, temperature changes and time.

CAUTION! Parameter settings can be modified only for balances that are not a subject to conformity assessment (verification).

5.2 MANUAL INTERNAL ADJUSTMENT

Internal adjustment is carried out with of an internal adjustment weight. button, when pressed, automatically triggers adjustment process. Upon adjustment process completion, respective message informing about process end and about its status is displayed.

CAUTION! Adjustment procedure requires stable environmental conditions (no air drafts or ground vibrations). The process must be carried out with an empty weighing pan.

5.3 EXTERNAL ADJUSTMENT

External adjustment is carried out by means of an external mass standard of specified accuracy class and weight. Both, accuracy class and mass standard weight depend on balance type and max capacity. The process takes semi-automatic form; successive stages are signaled with prompts.

Process stages:

 Enter <Adjustment> submenu, next select “External adjustment” option,  “Remove weight” prompt is displayed.

 Take the weight off the weighing pan and press button. Whereas balance

determines start mass, “Adjustment; Please wait…” prompt is displayed,

 Upon completed start mass determination procedure “Put weight …” prompt is displayed

along with particular mass standard value.

 Put the required weigh on a pan and press button,  Upon completed procedure “Remove weight” prompt is displayed.  Take the weight off the weighing pan, wait for <Adjustment> window to be displayed

again.

5.4 ADJUSTMENT TEST

<Adjustment test> function enables comparing the result of an internal automatic adjustment with the value recorded in balance factory parameters. The comparison is used for determining balance sensitivity drift over time.

6. WORKING MODES- GENERAL INFORMATION

The balance features the following working modes:

Weighing

Means of operation: weight of a load is determined through an indirect measurement. A balance measures gravitational force which attracts the load. An obtained result is processed to a digital format and displayed in a form of measurement result. More information found in Section 4.

Parts Counting

Means of operation: based on a determined mass of a single part it is possible to count another part, if the mass of the single part is determined with sufficient accuracy, and that the following parts are equal in mass. More information found in Section 7.

Check Weighing

Means of operation: control of sample mass with applied thresholds. A user should specify the value of min threshold <LO> and max threshold <HI>. More information found in Section 8.

Dosing

Means of operation: a user should specify sample’s target mass to be obtained by

pouring. More information found in Section 9.

Percent Weighing

Means of operation: control of percent ratio of a sample in relation to a standard (reference). Obtained data provides percent ratio on how test sample differs from the accepted standard (reference). More information found in Section 10.

Density of solids

Means of operation: based on Archimedes principle, a balance determines density of solids. The mode requires an optional density determination kit. More information found in Section 11.

Density of liquids

Means of operation: based on Archimedes principle, a balance determines density of liquids. The mode requires an optional density determination kit. More information found in Section 12.

Animal Weighing

Means of operation: mass measurement takes place with application of filters dampening animal moves on a weighing pan, thus enabling obtaining a correct measurement result. More information found in Section 13.

Statistics

Means of operation: carried out measurements are used to calculate statistical data, such as Min, Max, deviation, etc. More information found in Section 14.

Peak Hold

Means of operation: max temporary indication occurring in course of the weighing process is hold on a display. More information found in Section 15.
