Chapter 5: Unpacking the Balance and Getting Started
1. Carefully remove the scale, pan, and all of its components out of the
packaging and place them on a stable base where the scale will not
be affected by any mechanical vibrations or air movements.
2. AG Modes: After removing the pan base and the pan from their packaging, carefully install the pan
base onto the scale by seating it on the pan support located in the middle of the scale. Once the pan
base has been installed, carefully place the pan on the base as shown below.
AGN Models:
After removing the chamber base (4), draft
ring (3), pan base (2), and the pan (1) from
their packaging, carefully install the chamber
base (4) on the case of the balance as shown
below. Once the chamber base is in place,
install the draft ring (3). Once components 4
and 3 are in place install the pan base onto the
scale by placing it on the pan support located
in the middle of the scale. Once the pan base
has been installed, carefully place the pan on
the base as shown.

3. Once the pan has been installed, level the scale by adjusting the rear feet until the level indicator
shows the “air bubble” is in the center position of the sight glass. The level indicator is located in the
rear left side of the scale.
4. After leveling the scale, you may plug the AC adaptor to the AC adaptor socket located in the rear of
the scale.
5. When the AC adapter is plugged into the wall outlet, the scale will turn “ON” automatically, initialize
itself, perform automatic internal calibration and enter weighing mode.
6. To put the scale into standby mode, leave the AC adaptor plugged into both the scale and the wall
outlet and press the Power “OFF” button (). The “OFF” indicator will light up in the upper left
corner of the display signaling the scale is in standby mode.
Any PC external keyboard can be connected to the scale via the PS2. An external keyboard allows you to
input data quickly and easily. To connect a PC keyboard to the scale, follow the steps below.
1. Clear the pan and turn the scale off.
2. Locate the keyboard connection port at the rear of the scale, marked “keyboard.”
3. Insert the keyboard connector into the scale’s port.
4. Turn the scale on.
Note: Some keyboard keys remain disabled and do not work with the scale (i.e. function keys, Shift, Control
etc…). Do not use the number keypad located to the right of your keys. To key in numbers always use the
number keys in the upper row of the keyboard.

Chapter 7: Functions, Descriptions and Definitions
o Parts Counting is used to count parts or pieces of articles based on their average piece weight.
o Check Counting is used to verify whether a parts counting result falls within specified threshold
limits.
oPercent weighing is used to establish the relative weight of an unknown, compared to that of a stored
reference weight and expressed as a percent.
o Totalizing is used for summation of sequential weighing results of items or articles.
o Compounding is used for weighing and summing individual ingredients such as powers or liquids
during recipe making or mixing compounds.
o Check weighing is used to check whether a weight of an object falls within specified threshold limits.
o Animal and dynamic weighing is used to weigh animals or objects which are in motion while on the
pan.
o Display hold is used to lock and retain a weighing result on the display until cleared.
o Statistical quality control (SQC) is used to establish a trend analysis and statistical data of samples in
relation specified threshold limits.

Chapter 8: Main Menu
Main Menu is used to configure the scale and it’s weighing modes. Before entering the menu complete
and clear active functions by pressing the CLR key.
1. To enter the Main Menu press the MENU key. Once the MENU key is pressed the menu options will
be displayed.
8.1. Mode Setup
Torbal AG and AGN Scales can operate in ten application modes: Weighing, Parts Counting, Check
Counting, Percent Weighing, Totalizing, Compounding, Check Weighing, Animal Weighing, Display
Hold, and SQC Process Control. Before an application mode can be used it must be enabled and
configured. To use an application mode a quick key (Function keys F1 through F5) should be assigned
(recommended). Quick keys allow quick toggling between functions. By factory default the scale is in the
weighing mode. To enable other application modes follow the steps below.
1. From the Main Menu select “Mode Setup” and press the ENTER key. A list of available
applications and modes will be displayed.

Parts Counting Operating Modes
When set to automatic the balance allows you to create a database of samples and
Automatic
average piece weights. Each sample can be labeled with a unique name or an alpha
numeric code and stored in the scale’s internal memory along with its average piece
weight. This eliminates the need for establishing a new average piece weight every time
a part is counted.
When using parts counting in manual, the database feature is disabled and samples size,
Manual
as well as, average piece weight is not stored in the scale’s memory. The sample size
must be manually counted and an average piece weight must be established every time
part counting is performed.
