• Do not operate the touch panel using sharp-edged tools (knife, screwdriver, etc.).

• 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.

1.3 SUPERVISION OVER METROLOGICAL PARAMETERS

Metrological parameters of a balance need to be checked by an authorized user. Inspection frequency is qualified by the ambient conditions in which a balance is used, processes carried out and adopted quality management system.

1.4 WARRANTY CONDITIONS

2.5 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.

2.6 POWERING THE DEVICE

Before plugging in your balance, it is imperative to wait until the balance reaches thermal stabilization.

For balances that were stored in much lower temperatures (e.g. during winter period), thermal stabilization period will take at least 4 hours for Precision balances, and 8 hours for Analytical balances.

• 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 located in the top right hand corner of the key pad.

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.

4.5.1 MANUAL TARE DETERMINATION

• 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-

4.6.1 FILTER LEVEL SETTINGS

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.

4.6.2 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.

4.6.3 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.

4.6.4 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

4.6.5 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 (TA.C AND TT.C SERIES)

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:

• Automatic adjustment (automatic or manual)

• External adjustment

• User defined adjustment- external weight of declared mass which cannot be modified or of any mass, but not lower than 30% of maximum range.

5.1 INTERNAL ADJUSTMENT

Internal adjustment can be triggered in two fashions, automatically or manually by the user.

5.1.1 AUTOMATIC ADJUSTEMENT

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

• None – automatic adjustm ent 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).

5.1.2 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.

5.2 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.

The balance features two proximity sensors enabling touch-free balance control. The software detects two motions performed around the sensors:

1. hand in close vicinity to the left sensor <Left sensor>

2. hand in close vicinity to the right sensor <Right sensor>

Each motion can trigger optional balance functions. You can assign the proximity sensors with different functions for each working mode. Upon completed configuration procedure, the software runs the function that is assigned to the proximity sensor after having detected motion around it.

Procedure for setting up proximity sensors-

24. ADVANCED FEATURES

24.1 BUTTON, LABELS AND TEXT FIELDS CONFIGUR ATION

Area beneath weight indication section can be freely programmed. It is divided into active fields taking the form of a table with 3 rows and 10 columns.

The division lines presented above are not visible on the balance screen, they serve only for informative purposes.

This section is designed to explain user-selected widgets: buttons, labels, text fields, bar graphs.

• button – pictogram to which a function is assigned, the function is triggered upon pressing

the pictogram;

• label – field for information, its content is stable. The content depends on displayed option,

wherein the options change in course of balance operation. The label may be active or passive. Active label, when pressed, triggers function that is assigned to it, e.g. selecting product out of products database. Passive label provides you with information on current state, no function is assigned to it;

• text field - field for information, both content (text and variables of line 1 and 2) and function

assigned to text field are programmable. The field may be active or passive. Its operation is likewise as for label; the only difference is that for the text field it is the user who specifies which function is to be assigned to it. The function does not have to refer to displayed information,

e.g. the text field displaying date and time may trigger balance calibration upon being

pressed;

• bar graph – option available for Check weighing and Dosing modes, field providing

information on Min and Max threshold – Check weighing mode, and target weight - Dosing mode, the given information is presented in a graphic form, bar graph color informs whether weight stays within the specified tolerance or is out of it.

The section may be set up freely to match your needs. Each of the modes may be configured independently.

Set up rules:

1. Widgets dimensions (width x height)

• button – 1x1

• label – 2x1; 3x1; 4x1; 5x1

• text field – 2x1; 3x1; 4x1; 5x1; 6x1; 7x1; 8x1; 9x1; 10x1

• bar graph – 5x1; 10x1

To quickly restore the default widgets layout press any widget and hold it until a window with available options is displayed. Select <Default screen settings> and confirm.

Example arrangement and dimensions of labels and text fields.

2. Al ways click the far left side of a field to hold a selected widget.

3. A new widget can only be applied to an area that holds no other widgets. The balance

automatically detects which widgets can be applied to an area, this is conditioned by the widget dimensions.

4. I t is possible to change functions assigned to an already applied widget. The applied widget,

if not needed, can be removed.

5. To rearrange widgets layout, it is required to delete an already applied widgets first, and

define new arrangement of buttons, labels and text fields next.
