DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTION

The Ohaus Dial-O-Gram® Balance is a precision weighing instruments, designed
to provide years of service with virtually no maintenance. Dial-O-Gram® Balance
employs a two-pan design based on the classic Roberval balance principle. It has
the additional advantages of magnetic damping and integral dial for direct
weighing.

Two pan Balances of this type are commonly used for comparative weighing to
determine the difference in mass between two objects rather than their absolute
value, a built-in dial assembly of 100 grams capacity is usually sufficient for this
purpose. A 225g tare beam is standard on the 2060. The Model 2060 has a
weighing range of 100g and a readability of 0.1g. Maximum Balance capacity is
2kg/5lbs. The Platforms used on the Balance are 6" diameter stainless-steel.

INSTALLATIONINSTALLATION

Place the Balance on a reasonably flat, level surface away from sources of
vibration and drafts. On such a surface a very near balance should be attained
with the Dial at zero and Tare Poise against its stop at the left end of the beam.

Zeroing the BalanceZeroing the Balance

To set the Balance exactly at zero, adjust the knurled Zero Adjust Knob which is
located at the right end of the Beam. It is advisable to check the zero balance
periodically because foreign material may accumulate on the Platform or the
Beams. This can produce a slight change in the zero balance position. In addition,
whenever the Scale is moved, the zero balance
appreciable change in the inclination of the working surface will affect accuracy.

The base of each Balance is leveled on a surface plate at the factory and will rest
evenly on any perfectly flat surface. The Balance may rock slightly if the working
surface is not absolutely flat. This should be eliminated by shimming under the
base. Be sure to adjust the zero balance after leveling.
