2.3 Level Balance
Level the balance on a firm, steady surface. Avoid locations with excessive air current, vibrations, heat sources or rapid temperature changes.
2.4 Connect Power
For use with CSA Certified (or equivalent approved) power source, which must have a limited circuit output.
2.5 Initial Calibration
Without InCal – Power on the balance by pressing 0/T. Press and hold Print/Cal until [CAL] is displayed. The display flashes the calibration mass needed. To select the alternate calibration weight press No. Put the calibration mass on the pan. The display flashes [BUSY], then [CLEAr Pan]. Remove the mass. When calibration is complete, [DONE] is displayed.
InCal – Press and hold Print/Cal until [CAL] is displayed. The display flashes [BUSY], when calibration is
complete, [DONE] is displayed.
Note: Calibrations should be performed after a warm up time of 60 minutes.
3. Operation
Count, APW Optimization, Percentage or specific units of measure must be activated in the MODE or UNIT menus if they are not initially available.
3.1 Weighing Mode
Repeatedly press Unit until the desired unit icon is displayed.
Press 0/T to zero the balance and then place objects to be weighed on the pan.
– Use the Count mode to count parts of uniform weight.
To access Count Mode, press Unit until the display shows [Count].
Establish an Average Piece Weight (APW) – Each time a new type of part is to be counted, the nominal weight of one piece (APW) must be established using a small quantity of pieces.
With [CLr.APwW] displayed, press No to use the previously saved APW, or press Yes to establish a new APW. The display indicates the number of pieces to be used to establish the new APW. If a different sample size is preferred, press No until the desired sample size is displayed (5, 10, 20, 50 or 100). Put the specified number of pieces on the pan. Press Yes to accept new APW or No to abort.
Count – Place the quantity to be counted on the pan.
APW Optimization – Since the weight of each piece varies slightly, APW Optimization may be used to increase the
Pioneer™ |
EN-4 |
accuracy of the count. The balance automatically recalculates the Average Piece Weight when the number of parts on the pan is less than three times the original sample size. The display shows [APwW.OPT] each time the APW is optimized.
3.3 Percent Mode – Use this mode to measure the weight of a sample as a percentage of a reference weight. To access the Percent Mode, press Unit until the display shows [PErCEnt].
Establish a new Reference Weight - With Clear reference [CLr.rEF] displayed, Press No to use the previously saved Reference Weight. Press Yes to establish a new Reference Weight. Put the reference sample on the pan and press Yes to accept or No to abort.
Percent – Place the object(s) to be compared to the reference weight on the pan.

4.2 Calibration Menu [.CAL.]
InCal or Span calibration should be performed daily and when the room temperature changes. InCal [InCal] calibrates the balance using an internal mass.
Span Calibration [SpaN] uses two weight values: zero and a weight between 50% and 100% of the capacity of the balance.
Linearity calibration [LIN] uses three weight values zero, 50% of capacity and full capacity. Generally this calibration is not required unless testing shows that the linearity error exceeds the Linearity tolerance in the Specification table. (Not available in InCal models)
Calibration Adjust [CAL Adj] allows adjustment to the result of the internal calibration by +/- 99 divisions. (InCal models only)
4.3 Setup Menu [.setup.]
Automatic Zero-Setting [azsmM] – Environmental changes can cause the display to drift. The Automatic ZeroSetting Mechanism (AZSM) is designed to keep the balance set at zero, despite these slight changes. (OFF, SET.5d, SET 1d, SET 2d, SET 5d)
Filter [filter] – Use the low setting (SET LO) when environmental disturbances are not present. Use the medium setting (SET MED) for normal environments. Use the high setting (SET HI) when vibrations or air currents are present.
Auto Tare [A-tare] – The initial item placed on the balance is assumed to be a container so it is zeroed out. The next item is then weighed. When the pan is cleared the balance resets, waiting for a container. (SET OFF, SET ON)
Grad [Grad] – Select the readability displayed. Reducing the readability may be needed for approval. (SET 1d, SET [1]d, SET 10d)
Global Reset [Gbl rst] – Resets all settings to factory default values. (RESET)
4.4 Mode Menu [.mMode.]
Count Mode [Count] - [SET ON or OFF]
Average Piece Weight (APW) Optimization [aPwW.OPT] - (SET ON, SET OFF) Percent Mode [PerCent] - (SET ON, SET OFF)
4.5 Unit Menu [.Unit.]
The Unit menu is used to enable or disable a specific unit. (SET ON, SET OFF) The unit is indicated by a small character next to Unit in the display (g = grams). The default setting is Grams SET ON and all other units SET OFF.
T-Units – When unit [t] displays; press Yes to show the T-Unit settings; SET OFF, SET TT (Taiwan Tael), SET TH (Hong Kong Tael), SET TS (Singapore Tael), SET TO (Tola) or SET TI (Tical).
M-Units – When unit [m] is displayed, press Yes to show the M-Unit settings; SET OFF, SET MO (Momme) or SET ME (Mesghal).
Custom Unit – Custom Unit (C) is used to create a unit of measure not provided with the balance. The Custom Unit is defined by a factor, a multiplier (E) and a least significant digit (LSD). The balance will use this to convert grams to a custom unit of measure. (Example: 1 gram = 0.257206 Avoirdupois Dram, using a 4100g x 0.01g balance)
To create a custom unit, press Yes when unit [c] is displayed.
Factor – The Factor (F) is a value from 0.1000000 to 1.999999. When the Factor is displayed, the first digit is flashing. Press Yes to accept its value and activate the next digit, or No to edit. When editing, press No until the desired value appears, then press Yes to accept. Repeat until all digits have been accepted. When the Factor flashes on the display, press Yes to accept or No to re-edit. (Example: F = 0.257206)
Multiplier (E) – The settings are, [E 0] (Fx1), [E 1] (Fx10), [E 2] (Fx100), [E 3] (Fx1000), [E-3] (F/1000), [E-2] (F/100), and [E-1] (F/10). Press No to display the next setting, Yes to accept. (Example: E = 0).
Note: The multiplier selections are limited when the capacity in grams is exceeded.
Pioneer™ |
EN-6 |
LSD – The Least Significant Digit (LSD) is the number of displayed divisions (d) by which the weight is incremented. The values are 1d, 2d, 5d, 10d, 100d or 0.5d. Press No to go to the next setting, press Yes to accept. (Example LSD = 1d) Note: LSD options are limited if the readability in grams is exceeded.
The example custom unit will display [0.26 C] when 1g is placed on the pan.
4.6 Print Menu [.Print.]
Output Stable [Out.Stab] – Data will only be sent when the Stable indicator is on. This setting works with manual button pressing or continuous and interval Auto Print. (SET ON, OFF)
Auto Print [A.Print] – Data will be continuously sent when [Continu] is set. Interval [Inter] sends data every 1 to 3600 seconds. When Stable [Stable] will send data when the balance detects a new stable reading. This can be a weight value only [LOad] or it can also include a stable zero [L+zero]. [OFF] disables automatic printing.
Content [CONteNt] – The content in the data transmission can be modified. Each of the following settings can be set on or off. Number Only [numMber] will only send the numeric result. Balance ID [Bal. ID] will add the Balance
serial number for traceability purposes. Reference [refer] will add reference information relevant to the current mode. GLP [GLP] will send additional items to allow proper documentation of laboratory results.
Line Format [LinE Fo] – Single line format [single] will put all the data in one line separating each output with a comma (,). Multi line format [mMulti] will put each data output on a new line. Multi +4 [mM-4LF] will add 4 line spaces between each output.
