1. BASIC INFORMATION
INTENDED USE
Balances 3Y series are intended to precise mass measurement of weighed
loads conducted in laboratory conditions.
PRECAUTION MEASURES
Before first use of the balance, it is highly recommended to carefully
read this User Manual, and operate the balance as intended.
Do not operate the touch panel using sharp edged tools (knife,
screwdriver, etc.).
Place weighed loads in the center of balance’s weighing pan.
Load the balance’s weighing pan with loads that gross mass does not
exceed instrument’s measuring range (maximal capacity).
Do not leave heavy loads on balance’s weighing pan for a longer period
of time.
In case of defect immediately unplug the instrument from mains.
Balances to be decommissioned, should be decommissioned in
accordance with valid legal regulations.
Do not use the balance is areas endangered with explosion. Balance Y2
series is not designed to operate in EX zones.

Supervision over balance’s metrological parameters
Metrological parameters of a balance need to be checked by a user in
determined time intervals. Inspection frequency is conditioned by ambient
conditions in which a balance is used, kind of carried out processes and
adopted quality management system.
The manual’s significance
It is very important to read the user manual carefully before switching on and
starting up balance operation, even if the user is experienced and has worked
with the this type of balance before.
Balance user training
A balance should be utilized and supervised only by users who are trained and
experienced in such type of weighing instruments.

2.6. Balance cleaning
1. Disassembly the weighing pan and portable elements, depending on the balance
type the elements differ (refer to UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION for details).
Use the most gentle movements so as not to damage the mechanism. It is
recommended to use tweezers while removing the pan from microbalances.
2. If possible, use vacuum keyboard cleaner to remove the dust from the weighing
chamber (especially recommended for microbalances)
3. Glass parts should be cleaned using a dry flannel cloth (mild cleanser
may be used if it does not contain any abrasive substances) – for draft
shield disassembly instruction go to the next section of this manual
4. Use a dry flannel cloth in order to clean disassembled parts (mild
cleanser may be used if it does not contain any abrasive substances)
CAUTION:
Cleaning balance’s weighing pan if installed may damage instrument’s measuring
mechanism.
For ease of draft shield cleaning process it is allowed to remove its glass parts as it
has been presented below.

XA 3YA series balances
Steps:
1. Unscrew and remove top glass protection, next slide the top glass out.
2. Remove left and right side glass. Before removing the glass completely pull its
protection as it has been presented in the picture. Left and right side glass are
not interchangeable therefore it must be remembered which is left, which is
right. Upon cleaning procedure completion left and right side glass must be
mounted to a correct place.
3. Undo the screws protecting the front glass to remove it.

4. Remove the weighing pan and the pan shield so as not to damage the
mechanism while carrying out the cleaning process.
Thus prepared draft shield and its glass parts may be thoroughly cleaned. Carry
out the cleaning process carefully using the most gentle movements. Pay attention
to dirt and any small items, they could affect balance operation if they got inside
the balance through the opening that serves to mount the weighing pan.
Upon completion of the cleaning process assembly the balance, take actions like
before but in a reverse order. Pay a special attention to left and right side glass,
assembly it on the correct side of the balance. While sliding the glass back onto its
place remember to pull the protection (like before when dismantling the draft
shield).

3.3. Balances with a wireless connection between the terminal and the weighing module (an option)
The terminal operates on bateries, wireless connection ensures its cooperation
with the weighing module. This, in contrast to a standard design, allows to
eliminate cable connecting the devices.
Wireless connection solution is marked by letter <B>, eg. AS 220.3Y.B.
Features:
Maksimum range: 10 m
Maxumum operation time of the terminal (without the necessity to charge
baterries): 8 h
Usage:
1. Lack of additional sources of vibration
Terminal located elsewhere than the weighing bench eliminates vibrations
being a result of operation. This ensures stable working conditions for
balances with the highest. No specific weighing benches are needed.
2. Comfort of weighing in fume cupboards and laminar flow cabinets
Wireless connection between a terminal and a weighing module positively
influences weighment process making it more comfortable and safer.
3. Elimination of unfavourable influence factors
Due to wireless connection the weighing module may be completely
separated from the operator by being placed in an anti-draft chamber. This
makes weighing of contaminated and toxic substances possible without
putting one’s health and life to risk.
4. Improved pipetting ergonomics
Pipettes calibration process requires precision and quickness of operation.
Wireless connection redefines comfort of operation which will definitely be
appreciated by the user.
Wireless solutions are equipped with 2 power suppliers. One used for supplying
the weighing module, the other for powering the terminal.
