3.3Calibration
Explorer
Linearity Calibration, and Calibration Test.
Pro
Balances offer a choice of five calibration methods: Automatic Calibration (AutoCalTM), Span Calibration, User Calibration,
•
Span
-Span calibration ensures that the balance reads correctly within specifications using two weight
values: zero and a weight value at 100% of the balance’s full capacity.
•
Linearity
-Linearity calibration minimizes deviation between actual and displayed weights within the balance’s
weighing range. Three weight values are used: zero, a weight value at midpoint of the balances
weighing range, and a weight value at or near the balance’s specified capacity.
•
User
-User calibration is a method where the balance can be calibrated using a mass of known value by
entering that value into the balance.
•
Calibration Test
-Calibration test allows the stored calibration data to be tested against the current mass being
used for the test.
•
AutoCal
TM
Automatic calibration (AutoCalTM) of the balance is accomplished by an internal mass.
Calibration Menu Protection
NOTES:
• Calibration may be locked out to prevent unauthorized personnel
from changing calibration. If calibration has been locked out,
you can only access Internal Weight Calibration and Calibration
Test.
•To lock out calibration menu, after calibration, refer to the section
titled Menu Lock-Out Protection.
• Linearity, Span and User calibration are disabled for Type
Approved/LFT balances.
Calibration Masses
Before beginning calibration, make sure masses are available. If you
begin calibration and realize calibration masses are not available,
exit the menu. The balance will retain previously stored calibration
data. Calibration should be performed as necessary to ensure accurate weighing. Masses required to perform the procedures are listed
in the adjacent table.

3.3.3Linearity Calibration
Linearity calibration utilizes three calibration points, one at zero, center span and full span. This method minimizes deviation
between actual and displayed weights within the balance's weighing range. Three weight values are used; zero, a weight value
at midpoint of the balance's weighing range and a weight value at or near the specified capacity.

• Press or arrow button and select BASIC
WEIGHING.
Zero/Tare
When weighing material or objects that must be held in a
container, taring stores the container weight in the balance’s
memory, separate from the weight of the material in the
container.
• Press # with no load on the pan to set the balance
to zero.
• Place an empty container on the pan. Its weight is
displayed. (200 gram container is shown).
• Press # the display blanks until stable weight
readings are received, then indicates zero. The container’s
weight is stored in memory.
• Add material to the container. As material is added, its net
weight is displayed. (Example is 1620 grams).
• Removing the container and material from the platform will
cause the balance to display the container’s weight as a
negative number. The tared weight will remain in memory
until # is pressed again or the balance is turned
off.
• Pressing # resets the balance to zero.

The Explorer
Easy Count setting enables a simplified method for counting parts. When selected, Easy Count displays a screen which requires
that the number of sample parts be entered. After this entry, putting a quantity of samples on the pan, the balance will display the
actual number of samples. Since the balance determines the quantity based on the average weight of a single part, all parts
must be reasonably uniform in weight.
Advanced Count setting contains a number of entry screens which include assigning a library name, filling and sorting applications
and statisical information which can be printed.

Balance can be set to either an Easy Count or Advanced Count parts counting method.

3.14.2 Solid Density Determinations
The density Q is the quotient of the mass m and the volume V.
m
Q =
V
Density determinations are performed by using Archimedes' principle. This princple states that every solid body immersed in a
fluid loses weight by an amount equal to that of the fluid it displaces.
The density of a solid is determined with the aid of a liquid whose density Q0 is known (water or ethanol are usually used as
auxiliary liquids). The solid is weighed in air (A) and then in the auxiliary liquid (B). The density Q can be calculated from the
two weighings as follows:
A
•
Q
A - B
The balance allows direct determination of the buoyancy
P (
P = A - B
Q
0
) and consequently the above formula can be simplified:
Q

Q = • Q

As previously mentioned, the balance contains built in density tables for water and and ethanol. In the the event that a different
liquid is to be used, provisions are made to enter the density of the desired liquid and enter its name into a library. The following
procedure uses water as an example.

3.14.3 Improving the Accuracy of the Result of Solid Density Determinations
The following tips should help you improve the accuracy of the results in the density determination of solids.
Temperature
Solids are generally so insensitive to temperature fluctuations that the corresponding density changes are of no consequence.
However, as work is performed with an auxiliary liquid in the density determination of solids, their temperature must be taken
into account as the temperature has a greater effect with liquids and causes density changes in the order of magnitude 0.1 to
1% per °C. This effect is already apparent in the third decimal place of the result.
To obtain accurate results, we recommend that you always take the temperature of the auxiliary liquid into account of all density
determinations.
Air Buoyancy
1 cm3 air weighs approximately 1.2 mg (depending on the physical condition). As a consequence, in the weighing in air, each
solid experiences a buoyancy of this magnitude (the so-called "air buoyancy") per cm3 of its volume.
However, the air buoyancy must be taken into account only when a result is required with an accuracy of 3 to 4 decimal places.
To correct for this, the air buoyancy (0.0012 g per cm3 volume of the body) is added to the calculated result:
Calculated density + 0.0012 g/cm3 air buoyancy = effective density
Surface Tension of the Auxiliary Liquid
Adhesion of the liquid to the Weigh Below Hook causes an apparent weight increase of up 3 mg.
As the Weigh Below Hook is immersed in the auxiliary liquid in both weighings of the solid (in air and in the auxiliary liquid) and
the balance is tared before every measurement, the influence of the apparent weight increase can be neglected.
To reduce the effect of air bubbles and to ensure the greatest possible accuracy, use a few drops of a wetting agent (not
supplied) and add them to the auxiliary liquid.
3.14.4 Liquid Density Determinations
The density of a liquid can be made using either a sinker of known volume or a Pycnometer. When using the sinker, the sinker
is weighed in air and then in the liquid whose density is to be determined. The density Q can be determined from the two
weighings as follows:
Q
= Density of the liquid
A
A - B
Q
=
V
When the Pycnometer is used, it is filled with a known volume of a liquid. The density is arrived at as follows:
= Weight of the sinker in air
B
= Weight of the sinker in liquid
V
= Volume of the sinker
P
= Buoyancy of the sinker in the liquid ( P=
A-B
)
Density =+ { }
NOTE: pycnometer may be obtained at laboratory supply firms.
• Follow the same procedure for solid density determination except select LIQUID under the Select material display. The
balance is prepared in the same manner.

and the balance is calibrated, the printer will print out calibration data for audit trail purposes and will indicate date, and
time. Since there are many displays used in this procedure,
not all are shown.

5.2RS232 Interface
Explorer
compatible interface for communication with printers and
computers. When the balance is connected directly to a printer,
displayed data can be output at any time by simply pressing
PRINT.
Connecting the balance to a computer enables you to operate
the balance from the computer, as well as receive data such
as displayed weight, weighing mode, stability status, etc.
The following sections describe the hardware and software
provided with the balance
Hardware
On the left side of the balance, the center, 9-pin male subminiature “D” connector is provided for interfacing to other devices.
The pinout and pin connections are shown in the adjacent
illustration.
The balance will not output any data unless pin 5 (CTS) is
held in an ON state (+3 to +15 V dc). Interfaces not utilizing
the CTS handshake may tie pin 5 to pin 6 to defeat it.
Output Formats
Data output can be initiated in one of three ways: 1) By pressing
PRINT; 2) Using the Auto Print feature; 3) Sending a print command (“P”) from a computer.
Pro
Balances are equipped with a bi-directional RS232
RS232 Connector
Left Side of of Balance
RS232 Commands
All communication is accomplished using standard ASCII
format. Only the characters shown in the following table are
acknowledged by the balance. Invalid command response "ES"
error indicates the balance has not regonized the command.
Commands sent to the balance must be terminated with a carriage return (CR) or carriage return-line line feed (CRLF). For
example, a tare command should appear as shown in the
adjacent diagram. Data output by the balance is always terminated with a carriage return - line feed (CRLF).
The output format is illustrated in the RS232 command table
which follows.
