1.4. PS R2.H SERIES
PS R2.H series redefine the level of standard for precision balances. Not only do they share all the
features of R series balances, but can also work in adverse operating conditions (condensed dust,
drops of water falling down at different angles) typical for IP 54.
PS.R2.H balances are offered with round pans of two possible sizes: ø115mm and ø170mm.
Balances with pans of a smaller size feature draft shield as well.
Additional asset of PS R2.H balances are their interfaces build-in a hermetic closed housing which is
separated from the balance. The interfaces include 2×RS 232, USB type A, USB type B, and Wi-Fi
optionally.
Balance housing is made of plastic, whereas its pan of stainless steel.
PS R2.H series metrological parameters are identical like those of standard design balances.

1.5. INTENDED USE
X2 series balances are designed to provide accurate measurement of weighed loads, performed
under laboratory conditions. It is intended for application as a non-automatic weighing instrument
only, i.e. the material to be weighed is manually and carefully placed in the centre of the weighing
pan. Weighing result should be read only after stable reading has been obtained.
1.6. INAPPROPRIATE USE
Do not use the balance for a dynamic weighing. Even if small quantities of weighed material are
added or removed from the weighing pan of the instrument, the reading should be taken only after
stabilisation of the measurement results. Do not place any magnetic materials on the weighing pan,
as this can cause damage to the measuring system of the instrument.
Be sure to avoid impact shock and overloading the balance in excess of the prescribed maximum
measuring range (max capacity), minus any possible tare weight that has been applied.
Never use the balance in an environment where explosion is possible. This balance has not been
adjusted for operation in explosive areas.
There must not be any modification made to the balance.
1.7. WARRANTY
Warranty is invalid for the following:
•
non-observation of the guidelines of this user manual,
• use of the balance other than specified in this manual,
• alteration to or opening of the device,
• mechanical damage and damage caused by media, water, wear and tear,
• inappropriate assembling or defects of electric installation,
• overloading of the measuring instrument.
1.8. METRO LOG ICAL PARAMETERS MONITORING
Metrological characteristics of the balance require periodical inspection to be carried out by its user.
Inspection frequency is dependent on ambient conditions in which the balance is used, types of
performed processes and accepted quality management system in organization.
- 10 -
1.9. USER MANUAL SIGNIFIC ANCE
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 this type of balance before.
1.10. BALANCE USER TRAINING
The balance should be utilized and supervised only by users who are trained and experienced in
using such type of weighing instruments.
2. TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
2.1. DELIVERY CHECKLIST
Upon delivery it is necessary to check the package and the device, make sure that your package
bears no signs of damage.
2.2. PACKAGE
Keep all package elements should your device be transported in a future. Remember that only
original packaging can be used for shipping purposes. Prior packing uncouple any cables, remove
any separable components (weighing pan, shields, inserts). The device components shall be packed
into an original packaging, thus being protected against potential damage during transportation
3. UNP A CKING AND INST A LLATION
3.1. PLACE OF USE AND ASSEMBLING
• The balance should be stored and used in locations free of vibrations and shakes, free of air
movement and dust,
• ambient air temperature should not exceed the range of: +10 °C ÷ +40 °C,
• ambient relative humidity should not exceed 80%,
• during balance operation, ambient temperature in the weighing room should not change rapidly,
• the balance should be located on a stable wall console desk or a stable working table which is
not affected by vibrations and distant from heat sources,
• take special precaution when weighing magnetic objects, as part of the balance is a strong
magnet. Should such loads be weighed, use under-pan weighing option, which removes the
weighed load from area influenced by the balance’s magnet. The hook for under-pan weighing
is installed in balance’s base,
• in order to avoid the influence of static electricity on the measurement process, ground the
balance’s housing. The grounding bolt is located at the back of the balance’s housing.

APP 10.R1 and APP 10.R2 balances are equipped with 2 weighing pans which can be used in t urns.
It must be remembered that balance activation is only possible with one weighing pan assembled at
a time. Attempt of activating the balance with two weighing pans assembled simultaneously will result
in display of „– LH –„ error. In such case one of the pans needs to be removed.
Remove the weighing pan, next remove a transport lock (if
installed).
For APP.R2 series undo bolt (1) installed to block adjustment
mechanism.
Install a weighing pan (for APP 10.R install one of the pans).
Make sure the weighing pan is placed properly on shock
absorbers: the weighing pan cannot touch the housing and
should be stable
Connect an indicator using port located at the back, next
connect supplementary equipment.
Now, connect the device to the mains (power supply socket is
located at the back).
- 13 -
3.4. SETTINGS
It is necessary to level the balance prior connecting it to the mains. To level the
balance turn its feet until an air bubble takes the central position.
After adjusting the balance level, use a wrench (3) in order to screw a bolt (2) of foot (1), the bolt shall
touch balance housing, keep screwing until the bolt resists. Repeat this set of actions for the
remaining balance feet.
The balance shall rest on a surface firmly, each of the feet must be supported.
3.5. MAINTE N ANCE ACTIV ITI ES
1. Disassembly a weighing pan and other detachable components (the components differ
depending on a balance type – see Unpacking section). Be careful while detaching the
components so as not to cause any damages to the balance mechanism.
2. Using a dry flannel cloth clean glass parts (mild cleanser may be applied if it does not contain
any abrasive substances) – draft shield disassembly instruction is to be found further down this
section.
3. Using a dry flannel cloth clean disassembled components (mild cleanser may be applied if it
does not contain any abrasive substances).
CAUTION!
Cleaning draft shield while still installed may cause damage of the measuring system.
Cleaning ABS components:
To clean dry surfaces and avoid smutching use clean non-colouring cloths made of cellulose or
cotton. You can use a solution of water and detergent ( soap, dishwashing detergent, glass cleaner).
Gently rub the cleaned surface and let it dry. Repeat cleaning process if needed.
In the case when contamination is hard to remove, e.g. adhesive, rubber, resin, polyurethane foam
residues etc., you can use a special cleaning agents based on a mixture of aliphatic hydrocarbons
that do not dissolve plastics. Before using the cleanser for all surfaces we recommend carrying out
tests. Do not use products containing abrasive substances.
Cleaning glass components:
Select dissolvent depending on a dirt. Never soak the glass panes in alkaline solutions since they
interact with glass and may cause damage. Do not use abrasive substances.
For organic dirt use acetone first, next use water or detergent. For other than organic dirt use diluted
acid solutions (soluble salts of hydrochloric or nitric acid) or base solutions (ammonium or sodium
base).
To remove ACIDS use protofilic solvent (sodium carbonate), to remove BASE use protogenic solvent
(mineral acid of various concentration).
- 14 -
In case of heavy contamination use brush or detergent nevertheless avoid detergents containing
large and hard molecules which could potentially scratch glass panes.
Use soft brush with wooden or plastic handle exclusively to avaoid risk of scr atches. Do not use wire
brush.
At the end of the cleaning process rinse the pane using running water first, distilled next.
Rinsing is a necessary cleaning process stage allowing to remove remaining soap, detergents and
other cleansers from the panes prior their reinstallation.
Avoid drying the panes either using paper towel or for ced air circulation since some fibr es, grains or
contamination of other type could permeate into the panes thus causing weighing errors.
One shall not use driers when drying measuring glass tools.
It is a frequent treatment to leave glass components on a rack to dry.
Cleaning stainless steel components:
Avoid using cleansers containing any corrosive chemicals, e.g. bleach (containing chlorine). Do not
use abrasive substances. Always remove the dirt using microfiber cloth to avoid damage of protective
coating.
In case of a daily maintenance:
1. Remove the dirt using cloth dipped in warm water.
2. For best results, add a little dishwashing detergent.
Cleaning powder-coated components:
For preliminary cleaning stage you need running water or wet sponge featuring large wholes, this w ill
help you to remove loose, heavy dirt.
Do not use cleansers containning abrasive substances.
Next using cloth and cleanser-water solution (soap, dishwashing liquid) gently rub the cleaned
surface.
Avoid using cleanser without water since it may result with damage of the cleaned surface, please
mind that large amount of water mixed with cleanser is a must.
Cleaning aluminium components:
While cleaning aluminium components use products acid by nature, e.g. spirit vinegar, lemon. Do not
use abrasive substances. Avoid using hard brush, this may caus e scratches. It is recommended to
use microfibre cloth.
While polishing the surface use circular movements. Use clean, dry cloth.
In order to ease cleaning of glass draft shield panes, it is permissible to remove them following the
below instruction.
AS series – sequence of actions:
- 15 -
Undo and remove top pane
protection, next slide the pane out of
a guide bar.
Remove the back pane.
Remove side panes.
Side panes shall not be swapped
therefore it is necessary to remember
which one is right, and which one is
left in order to install them back
properly.
CAUTION! Do not remove the front pane!
Remove a weighing pan, a draft
shield, a bottom insert. Clean the
components when detached. With this
your balance mechanism is protected
against accidental damage.
Thus prepared draft shield and panes can be properly cleaned. All the operations should be done
carefully. Pay special CAUTION to the spot where the weighing pan was installed: dirt and other
small elements might enter the balance construction through this opening, which might negatively
influence the balance parameters.
- 16 -
3.6. POWERING THE DEVICE
Balance can be connected to the mains only with a power adapter that comes standard with
the particular model. Nominal power supply of the power adapter (specified on the power
adapter data plate) should be compatible to the power from the mains.
Plug the balance to the mains – connect the power adapter to the socket, next connect its connector
to port located at the back of the balance housing.
Test of the display unit takes place right after c onnecting the balance to the power, all the elements
and pictograms are backlit for a short time. Next, the name and the program number appears, the
indication gets to ZERO (displayed reading unit depends on the balance). During t he balance start,
the test of an internal mass adjustment mechanism occurs (single location and elevation of the
internal mass adjustment).
If the indication is different than zero, please press
button.
CAUTION!
If the balance is “verified”, automatic adjustment occurs right after switching the balance on.
3.7. CONNECTING ADDITIONAL HAR DWARE
Use only accessories and peripheral equipment recommended by the manufacturer. The balance
must be disconnected from the mains before connecting or disconnecting any peripherals (printer,
PC computer, computer keyboard). On connecting the peripherals, plug the balance to the mains.
3.8. INFORMATION ON THE B ALANCE

When plugged to mains, the balance displays program name and number, next it proceeds to the
weighing mode.
5.1. TEMPERATURE STABILIZATION PERIOD
Before start of measuring processes, it is necessary to wait until the balance reaches thermal
stabilisation.
For balances that were stored in much lower temperatures before plugging to mains (e.g. during
winter period), thermal stabilisation period shall take at least 4 hours for PS balances, and 8 hours for
AS and APP balances. During the thermal stabilization, the indications on the display panel can
change.
It is recommended that ambient temperature changes at place of use were insignificant (slow to
change).
5.2. AMBIENT CONDITIONS ST ATE INDICATION
The function is intended to inform on unstable ambient conditions for a balance, it is enabled only for
AS R series balances.
The function controls dynamic temperature changes occurring in the balance during its operation. If
the variation is greater than set limit values (temperature changes speed), then a blinking
thermometer pictogram is displayed on the screen.
- 18 -
The blinking thermometer pictogram means that temperature inside the balance is not stable, this
may result in inaccurate mass measurement. For such a case it is recommended to wait until the
temperature stabilizes or to perform balance adjustment (blanking of the blinking thermometer
pictogram).

GLP autotest
AUTOTEST function is designed to aid a user in assessing balance’s operation and diagnosing the
reasons for occurrence of errors in weighing which exceed the maximum permissible values for a
given balance model.
By means of a simple, repeatable and fully documented way, the function enables optimizing
balance’s settings to maintain the best possible repeatability and weighing time at workstation. The
main purpose of the function is the possibility of monitoring the above-mentioned parameters at
optional moment and saving records from the carried out tests in the form of printed reports of the
tests that are automatically generated at the end of examination.
The test controls repeatability of placing the interval weight and det ermining error of indication wit h
reference to balance’s maximum capacity.
Testing procedure:
• deposit internal weight twice,
• deposit internal weight ten times,
• calculate the value of standard deviation,
• perform balance adjustment,
• pr int a report.
Test results provide balance data, calculated error for Max capacity and value of repeatability of
indication expressed as standard deviation.

7. ADJUSTMENT
In order to ensure the highest weighing accuracy, it is recommended to periodically introduce a
corrective factor of indications to balance memory, the said factor must be referred to a mass
standard. In other words, balance adjustment shall be performed from time to time.
Adjustment should be carried out:
• Before the beginning of weighing procedure,
• If long breaks between following measuring series occur,
• If temperature inside the balance changes more than: 1°C or 2°C for AS series balances or 2°C
for PS and APP series balances.
Types of adjustment:
• Internal automatic adjustment
• Manual internal adjustment
• Adjustment with an external weight of declared mass which cannot be modified or of any mass,
but not lower than 30% of maximum range.
CAUTION!
In case of verified balances (with an internal automatic adjustment system) only automatic internal
adjustment and manual internal adjustment are available. Remember to carry out the adjustment
process when there is no load on the pan! When the weighing pan is loaded, command <RANGE
EXCEEDED> is display ed. In such a case remove the load and restart the adjustment pr ocess. Adjustment
process can be aborted if necessary by pressing Esc button at any time during the process.
7.1. INTERNAL ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment process can be initiated automatically and manually.
Manual means of activating adjustment procedure is achieved by pressing
button. System of
automatic adjustment will carry out the process fully automatically and will inform the user on
successive process stages.
Cycle of automatic adjustment process:
• Balance soft ware detects the necessity of carrying out adjustment and signals it by displaying a
thermometer or clock pictogram and <Cal> sign at the top of the display, about 2-minute long
time interval within which weighing procedure can be completed takes place,
• As the 2-minute long time elapses, balance display indicates message CAL_30
and starts counting down from 30..29..28 to 0 (indicated value is the counter),
- 25 -
• Balance user has 30 seconds to make a decision
• I n order to start adjustment, do not take any actions
• In order to complete weighing procedure, press Esc. When pressed, balance returns to
weighing procedure and displays last weighing result. In about 5 minutes balance indicates
CAL_30 message again.
• The adjustment process can be postponed for multiple times, but it needs to be pointed out that
postponing of adjustment for a long time may lead to larger errors of weighing process. The
errors are the effect of temperature changes and as a consequence changes of balance
sensitivity.
Automatic adjustment process has been designed for three different cases:
• Adjustment on plugging the balance to the mains – verified balances.
• Adjustment triggered by temperature change inside the balance. The balance is equipped with
a very precise system for monitoring temperature. At each adjustment process, the temperature
is recorded. The next adjustment is automatically initiated if temperature changes more than
1°C or 2°C (AS, PS and APP series balances) from the last saved temperature.
• Adjustment triggered by elapsing time. You can declare time intervals which are criteria for
balance adjustment (this option is only available for non-verified balances).
7.2. ADJUSTMENT MENU SETTINGS
• P1.1 INT. CALIB. – Internal adjustment
Start of an internal adjustment process. Adjustment is conducted automatically, and no user
assistance is required. If a weighing pan of the balance is loaded, balance will display
a command ordering to unload the weighing pan. If weighing pan is loaded with a relatively
small mass (up to 10% of balance max capacity) then adjustment process will be carried out
automatically, the load may stay on the pan.
or
• P1.2 EXT. CALIB. – External adjustment (with an external weight)
Adjustment with an external weight, value of which is saved in factory settings (function
unavailable for verified balances).
• P1.3 USER CALIB. – User adjustment (with an external weight)
Adjustment with an external weight of any mass within balance range, however not lower than
30% of Max range (function unavailable for verified balances).
• P1.4 CALIB. TEST – Adjustment test
This fuction enables comparing the result of an inter nal automatic adjustment with the value of
an internal weight, saved in balance factory parameters. The process is carried out
automatically and its result is shown on the display (if the balance is connected via
communication port with a computer or a printer, the adjustement result will be printed out).
Press ESC to go back to the previous menu.
• P1.5 AUTO. CALIB. T. – Automatic adjustment
