INTRODUCTION

This manual covers installation, operation and troubleshooting for the Ohaus Precision Standard balances, Models TS120, TS200, TS400, TS400D, TS600, TS2K, TS4K and TS4KD. To insure proper operation of the balance, please read this manual completely.

DESCRIPTION

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.
