1. GETTING TO KNOW YOUR BALANCE
Please read through this section carefully, as it contains important information for safe and economical operation of
your NavigatorTM balance.
1.1Introduction
Thank you for deciding to purchase a Na vigatorTM balance from Ohaus. This v ersatile, portable balance offers a high
level of operating convenience and useful functions to make accurate measurements usually obtained from higher
priced laboratory instruments. A custom LCD panel has a large 6 digit, 7 segment display which indicates the weight
value of an item being measured and a 6 character 14 segment display which spells out items selected in the menus.
In addition, the display contains text which indicates the active operating mode of the balance. Arrow indicators in
the display prompt the user as to what panel keys are to be pressed to initiate a change. Built-in RS232 communication is standard on all models and allows communication with printers or computers.
Panel controls are clearly marked as to their function with large zero/tare buttons on either side of the front panel.
Operation and setup of the balance is straightforw ard and easy. Setup is simple with 4 cursor k eys , straightf orw ard
menus, and prompts that easily guide you through the process.
NavigatorTM is designed with contours for easy cleaning and has a sealed front panel and spill gutter to direct liquids
off the balance. For le v eling purposes, all models are equipped with adjustable f eet and a le vel indicator.
