Balances in the range of 62g to 410g are shipped with the pan and the protective cov er plate not installed. On balances equipped with a draft shield, slide open the side door and place the cover plate into position. Then, insert the pan into the center hole which is the measuring transducer. Higher capacity balances with 6" or 8" pans do not have a cover plate.

On 610g to 4100g balances with 0.01g resolution, a wind shield is required to reduce the possibility of air currents from disturbing the pan. When the wind shield is in place, air currents are deflected up over the pan. Make sure the wind shield is firmly snapped into place.

3.2 Turning On the Balance

The Vo y ager balance is ready to oper ate after the the installation procedures are performed. When the balance is first turned on and it completes its checks, and is calibrated, it can be used to weigh or tare materials without setting the menus. The balance is preset at the factory to weigh in grams

It is recommended that you read this manual carefully and set the balance to operate for y our specific applications using the procedures in Chapter 4 Setting up Your Balance and calibrate the balance before using.

LCD Display On/Off

To turn the balance LCD display ON, press the ON/OFF button (circled b utton with an I inside) located at the upper left-hand corner of the panel once. To turn OFF, press button again.

Stabilization

Before initially using the balance, allow time for it to adjust to its new environment. The balance only requires to be plugged in to warm up. Recommended warm up period is twenty (20) minutes. The internal circuits of the balance are powered whenev er it is plugged into a po w er source .

3.3 Calibration

V oyager balances offer a choice of fiv e calibration methods: Automatic Calibration (AutoCalTM), Span Calibration, User Calibration, Linearity Calibration, and Calibration Test.

•

Span

- Span calibration ensures that the balance reads correctly within specifications using two weight values: zero and a weight value at 100% of the balance’s full capacity.

• Linearity

• User

• Calibration Test

•

AutoCal

- Linearity calibration minimizes deviation between actual and displayed weights within the balance’s w eighing r ange. Three weight values are used: zero, a weight v alue at midpoint of the balances weighing range, and a weight value at or near the balance’s specified capacity .

- User calibration is a method where the balance can be calibrated using a mass of known value by entering that value into the balance.

- Calibration test allows the stored calibration data to be tested against the current mass being used for the test.

Automatic calibration (AutoCalTM) of the balance is accomplished by an internal mass.

Calibration Menu Protection

NOTES:

• Calibration may be lock ed out to prevent unauthorized personnel from changing calibration. If calibration has been locked out, you can only access Internal W eight Calibration and Calibration Test.

• To lock out calibration menu, after calibration, refer to the section titled Menu Lock-Out Protection.

• Linearity , Span and User calibr ation are disab led f or Type Approv ed/LFT balances.

Calibration Masses

Before beginning calibration, make sure masses are availab le. If you begin calibration and realize calibration masses are not availab le, exit the menu. The balance will retain previously stored calibration data. Calibration should be performed as necessary to ensure accurate weighing. Masses required to perform the procedures are listed in the adjacent table.

3.3.3 Linearity Calibration

Linearity calibration utilizes three calibration points, one at zero , center span and full span. This method minimizes deviation between actual and displa y ed weights within the balance's weighing range . Three w eight v alues are used; zero, a w eight v alue at midpoint of the balance's weighing range and a w eight v alue at or near the specified capacity.

3.9 Check Weighing

Check weighing mode permits you to weigh an item, set balance parmeters such as the nominal weight, over weight, under weight, type of display: normal shown with a bar graph and a numeric display or sign which spells out under , accept, over in large letters and assign a library name. This can then be recalled later eliminating the need to enter weighing parameters again. This type of weighing is where individual items must be checked against preset parameters. Since man y displays are repetitive, not all will be shown in the following procedure

3.10 Differential W eighing

Differential weighing stores tare and weight values so a sample can be dried and the diff erence calculated at a later time. Up to 100 samples can be stored. samples can be added to the applications library. Batch and individual samples can be accommodated.The features in the Voy ager balance f or diff erential weighing include:

RECALL - When selected, brings up previously stored library names associated with each sample. LIBRARY NAME - A name up to 10 characters can be entered and stored to identify the sample item. T ARE WEIGHT - This is the tare weight of the container holding the samples, can be set to NO or YES. AUT O TARE - Used when it is desired to automatically tare the storing container's weight, can be set to NO or YES. AUTO SAMPLE DETECT - This f eature is used for repetitive sample weighing, can be set NO or YES. MODE - Can be set to INDIVIDUAL or BATCH. FINAL RESUL T - Can be set to show results in PERCENTAGE or WEIGHT. SAMPLE NUMBERS - Desired number of samples can be entered. SA VE TO LIBRARY - P ermits all entries to be sav ed to the Library. EXIT TO WEIGH - When selected, will exit to standard weighing mode.

Procedure (Cont.)

First, the container is tared and stored, then the product is intially weighed in the container and stored for each sample. A name is giv en to the samples which is stored in the balance. After all samples have been weighed and entered, a summary table indicates the weight of the containers and each sample.

After the samples have undergone a process such as heating or cooling, the entire procedure is repeated starting with sample number 1 and continued until all samples have been completed. The balance then displays a new table which indicates the tare weight of the container, the initial weight of the product, the final weight of the product and the difference weight. To enter samples, proceed as follows:

3.11 Formulation

The Vo y ager balance can store betw een 200 minimum and 500 formulations limited only by the memory capacity of the resident library . Each formulation can be named and hav e up to 10 components specified and identified b y name . Once the formulations are stored in the balance library, they may be recalled and used at any time. Each component of a given formulation can be specified as to its weight or percentage. The balance will display each element of a formulation on a dual bar graph as a percentage and also displays the desired weight. Thus , each product may be placed on the pan until 100% is indicated. Names are limited to 10 characters. The illustrations in this procedure are samples for one formulation using a higher resolution balance.
