laboratory conditions.
1.2 PRECAUTIONS
• Prior to first use, it is highly recommended to carefully read this User Manual, and operate
the balance as intended.
• 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. UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION
2.1 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: +10 °C ÷ +40 °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.
• Take special precaution when weighing magnetic objects, as part of the balance is a strong
magnet. Should such loads be weighed, use under-pan weighing option, which removes the
weighed load from area influenced by the balance’s magnet. The hook for under-pan
weighing is installed in balance’s base.
• 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

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.
14
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.
! Remember to start the balance with no load on the weighing pan

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.
20
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
• Press quick access key
• An on-screen numeric keyboard is displayed
• Enter tare value and press key
• The balance returns to the weighing mode, and the display indicates entered tare value
with minus ‘–‘ sign
4.5.2 DELETING TARE
The tare value indicated on balance display can be deleted by pressing key on
balance overlay.
Procedure 1 - on taking the tared load off the weighing pan
• Press key.
• The NET marker is deleted, and new zero point of the balance is determined.
21
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.
4.5.3 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.
OR
• 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-
22
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.
23
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).
24
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.
Procedure-
• 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

5.4 ADJUSTM E NT TE S T
<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. ADJUSTMENT (TA AND TT 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:
• 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.
6.1 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.
Procedure-
• 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.

7. WORKING MODES- GENERAL INFORMATION
The balance features the following working modes:
Means of operation: weight of a load is determined through an indirect measurement. A
processed to a digital format and displayed
information found in Section 4.
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 8
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
Means of operation: a user should specify sample’s target mass to be obtained by
pouring. More information found in Section 10.
(reference). Obtained data provides percent ratio on how test sample differs from the
accepted standard (reference). More information found in Section 11.
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 12.
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 13.

8. PARTS COUNTING
< Parts counting> is a working mode which enables determination of quantity of small parts with
equal weight. Determined mass of a single part is used for the counting procedure. The single part
mass may be:
• Determined from a reference quantity of parts subjected to weighing,
• Acquired from database of products,
• Entered manually as a numeric value.
