1. UNWRAPING THE BALANCE
1.1. The balance ASB/X
Cut safety tape off. Take balance off the box. Take all necessary to correct performance of balance elements off the box. After replace balance in place of use put scale and rest of elements on.
open side doors of weighing chamber,
inside the chamber place lower shield of weighing chamber (1),
inside the chamber place anti- breeze shield (2),
put centring ring on the shield (3),
put the balance pan inside the ring (4),
close side doors of weighing chamber,
turn on balance supply,
pin of power adaptor should be
connected to socket in the back of balance casing.
.Draw 1. The components installation for the WAS X balance with d=0,1mg
The balance is supplied through power pack 110-230 V AC / 13,8 V DC. Power pack socket is at the rear of the balance.

2. START THE BALANCE UP
2.1. Conditions of proper usage
Set the balance on stable table, far from vibrations
The balance should be replaced far from draughts and air breeze.
The balance should be in stable temperature and humidity room
The balance should be replaced far from sources of
Temperature in the room +18°C ÷ +30°C ( ASB/X)
If the static electricity has influence on the balance indications it
base should be earthed. Earthing screw is in the rear part of the balance base.
The balance should be replaced in leveled position
2.2. Set level up
The balance should be leveled. The correct leveling is shown on the level indication installed at rear of the balance.
2.3. Warming up
Before measurements user should wait untill the balance reaches temperature stabilization. It is warming up time.
For analytical balances warming-up time is about 1 hour. This periods refers to the balances which ware in surrounding temperature (work) before start weighing.
If the analytical balances are kept in lower temperature before weighing the warming-up time is about 8 hours and for precision balances it is about 2 hours. During warm-up stabilization the indications can change.

3. APPROPRATION
The balances are used to do precise measurements in laboratories. It is possible to do the zero function in all measure range.

6. WEIGHING
Following conditions must be fulfilled to get reliable results:
- Stable temperature
- Stable ground
- Proper parameters for external conditions
Before measurements or for essential changes of the external conditions (if the temperature changes more than 1°C/h) calibrate the balance in accordance with p. 7.1.
Before measurements load the pan and check if the balance show „precise zero” – displayed in down left corner of the display (only if the parameter P4 06 Autozero has the value 1: yes) and check if the measurement is stable –
is displayed in right up
corner of the display. If the balance does not show zero press the key
- 18 -
If the conditions are unfavourable (no stable result) lines appear on the display. After settled time the balance returns to weighing mode without set up to zero. In this case wait untill the conditions stabilize and press Esc again
By the Units key select measure unit. Put the load on the pan and after stabilization read out the result. If measure unit user wants to use is not displayed during pressing the Units key check if it has access attribute.
The indication can be set to zero many times. Sum of loads noted in the balance memory cannot be higher than max capacity.
Betwenn following measurements do not unpluged the balance. The balance should be switched off by the ON/OFF key. After pressing the key again the balance is ready to work without warm stabilization.

7. BALANCE CALIBRATION
To ensure high precision of weighing corrective factor in relation to standard mass must be noted in the balance memory periodicaly – it is the balance calibration.
Calibration should be performed when:
- The weighing is started,
- Long breaks are between following measure series
- Temperature inside the balance changes more than: 0,8°C
Kind of calibration:
- Internal automatic calibration * started if temperature changes, started if the time changes
- Manual internal calibration * started by the balance keyboard
- Calibration made with external weight * with declared mass which cannot be modificated * with any mass which should be given before the calibration
process
In verified balances only automatic internal calibration and manual internal calibration is accessible.
Perform the calibration when there is no load on the pan!
7.1. Automatic balance calibration
It is performed when:
- Period of time passes from last calibration
- temperature changes for settled value by manufacturer
* for balances is 0,8°C,
Following information appears on the display:

10. SETTING THE PARAMETERS
User can adjust the balance to existing conditions (filter) and own needs (autozero, displaying last digit) by means of parameters in group <P4 Readout>.
Draw 22. Submenu Readout – internal setting
10.1. Setting filter
Dependly on conditions set the filter. If the conditions are conductive set the filter as very fast (value of the parameter 01 Filter 1) and if the conditions are bad (vibrations, draught) set the filter as slowly or very slowly (value of the parameter 01 Filtr at 4 or 5). Efficience of filter is different for range of weighing. The filter works slowler during getting to weighed mass. It works faster when mass is the settled filer range (parameter filter range accessed only from service menu – user does not have acess).

10.2. Value release
Select and set way for stability result of weighing: fast, fast +reliable or reliable.
10.3. Set the display refreshing time
This parameter determines period of time which the display refreshes in. Information on the display is compared to information which is sent by the balance processor about load on the pan. For higher values of the refreshing parameter indirect not stable mass indications are not presented on the display during puttin on and yesing off the load. For low values all changes in mass during weighing are visible – it enables to dosage liquids and solids. The refreshing time is settled in seconds.
10.4. Set autozero working
To ensure precise indications programmable function „AUTOZERO” is in the balance. This function controls automaticaly and corrects zero indication of the balance. If the function is active following results in declared periods of time are compared eg. each 1s. If these results differs at less value than declared range AUTOZERA eg. 1 interval the balance sets to zero automaticaly and
and appears on the display.
If the AUTOZERO function is active each measurement starts at precise zero every time. In special cases this function disturbes in the measurements eg. when the load is put on the pan very slowly (pouring substance). In this case correcting system of zero indication can correct also indication of real load mass. AUTOZERA is switched on anr off in the parameter P4 03 in accordance with p. 5.1.1 of the manual.

An example of an internal printout definition
Then set the rest of the parameters
Printout number – 1 Prn.
1 start – 1
Prn. 1 stop – 10
After setting all the corresponding parameters, return to weighing
mode (save the parameters).
Now you can connect the balance with the printer (a cable diagram in
the users’ manual). Check the setting of transmition parameters both in
the balance and in the printer. They should be the same. Place a load
on the weight pan and after stabilizing press PRINT. The designed
printout will be sent to the printer and three identical labels will be
printed out.

20. WEIGHING LOADS UNDER THE BALANCE
In standard version balances have possible to weight loads under the balance. To use this function:
Draw 56. Weighign under analytical balance
Remove the cover in the base of the balance. There is a hook visible which can be used to suspend a sample.
Note:
1. The suspension eye is directly connected to the weighing mechanism. Take great care not to move or rotate the eye, as this will damage the weighing mechanism.
2. Accessories such as an under the balance rack and a suspension hook are available.
3. The mass of all suspended accesories should be set to zero by pressing TARE before commencing any weighing.

21. CONNECTING ADDITIONAL KEYS
It is possible to connect external tare and print buttons by special luster through port RS232.
Printer or computer can be connected to the cluster. Connected elements are not standard accesories of the balance.
