INTRODUCTION

This manual covers installation, operation and troubleshooting for the Ohaus Precision

DESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTION

The Ohaus Precision Standard series balances are precision weighing instruments,
designed to provide years of service with virtually no maintenance. The Precision
Standard series is constructed using a die-cast aluminum base finished with a durable
epoxy powder paint which is resistant to commonly used acids, contains a one piece
solid-state precision electronics PC board, a seven digit LCD display which is 0.6 inches
in height. All Precision Standard series balances are factory set to measure in grams.
Each balance operates through a series of menus which enable precise calibration and
linearity along with various other parameters which enhances operation. A built in lock
switch prevents preset settings from being changed. To prevent measurements from
being affected by air currents, a draft shield is used on Models TS120, TS200 and
TS400D balances. Power is supplied through an AC adapter which is available in five
voltages for world-wide usage. Accessories include: an RS232 interface kit which
allows printing of results through an external computer, an RS232 Interface cable with
a print switch, weigh below hook, security device and calibration weights.
