Keep all package elements should your balance be transported in the 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). Pack the device components into an
original packaging. The original packaging protects the equipment against potential damage during
transportation.
3. UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION
3.1. PLACE OF USE AND ASSEMBLING
• The balance has to be stored and used in locations free of vibrations and shakes, free of air
movement and dust.
• Ambient air temperature cannot exceed the range of: +10 °C ÷ +40 °C.
• Ambient relative humidity cannot exceed 80%.
• During balance operation, ambient temperature in the weighing room cannot change rapidly.
• The balance has to 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.
3.2. UNPACKING
Cut the adhesive tape. Take the device out of the packaging. Open the accessory box, take the
device components out of it.

3.4. MAIN TE N ANCE ACTI VI TI ES
CAUTION!
Cleaning anti-draft chamber while still installed may cause damage of the measuring system.
1. Disassembly a weighing pan and other detachable components (the components differ
depending on a balance type – see Unpacking and Installation section). Be careful while
detaching the components so as not to cause any damages to the balance mechanism. It is
recommended to use tweezers while detaching microbalance’s pan.
2. Using handheld vacuum cleaner remove dust from the weighing chamber (recommended
especially for microbalances).
3. You can disassembly anti-draft chamber panes of XA and AS series is order to clean them
properly – for disassembly instruction read below.
Cleaning anti-draft chamber panes:
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).
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 s cratches. Do not use wire
brush.
At the end of the cleaning process rinse the pane using running water first, distilled ne xt .
- 17 -
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 forced air circulat ion since some fibres, 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 powder-coated components:
For preliminary cleaning stage you need running water or wet sponge featuring large w holes, 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 cause scratches. It is recommended to
use microfibre cloth.
While polishing the surface use circular movements. Use clean, dry cloth
.
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 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 f or all surfaces we recommend carrying out
tests. Do not use products containing abrasive substances.

Thus prepared anti-draft chamber and panes can be properly cleaned. All the operations have t o be
done carefully. Pay special attention t o the spot where the weighing pan is installed: dirt and other
small elements might enter the balance construction through this opening, which might negatively
influence the balance parameters.
Upon completion of the cleaning process assembly the balance, take actions like before but in a
reverse order. Pay a special attention to the left and the right side pane, assembly it on the correct
side of the balance. While sliding the pane back onto its place remember to pull the protection (like
before when dismantling the anti-draft chamber).
3.5. POWERING THE DEVICE
The balance has to be plugged to the mains using the original power adapter exclusively. Nominal
power supply of the power adapter (specified on t he power adapter data plate) has to be compat ible
to the power from the mains. Plug the power adapter’s to the power supply socket located at the back
of the housing.
3.6. TEMPERATURE STABILIZATION
Before measurement it is necessary to wait until the balance reaches thermal stabilisation.
For balances that were stored in much lower temperatures before plugging to the mains, thermal
stabilisation period shall take at least 12 hours. During the thermal stabilization, t he indications on a
display panel can change. It is recommended that ambient temperature changes at place of use were
insignificant (slow to change).
3.7. CONNECTING PERI PHERAL EQUIPMENT
Use only accessories and peripheral equipment recommended by the manufacturer. The balance
must be unplugged before connecting or disconnecting any peripherals (printer, PC computer,
computer keyboard). On connecting the peripherals, plug the balance to the mains.
3.8. B ALANCES FEATURI NG TERMINAL-WEIGHING MODULE WIR ELESS CONNECTION
(an option)
The terminal operates on batteries, 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>, e.g. XA 220.4Y.B.
Features:
Maximum range: 10 m
Maximum operation time of the terminal (without the necessity to charge batteries): 8 h
Advantages:
1. Lack of additional sources of vibration
Terminal located elsewhere than the weighing table eliminates vibrations being a result of
operation. This ensures stable working conditions for balances with the highest resolution. No
specific weighing workstations are needed.
2. Comfort of weighing in fume cupboards and laminar flow cabinets

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 and guarantees high measurement accuracy.
Wireless solutions are equipped with 2 power suppliers. One used for supplying the weighing
module, the other for powering the terminal.
3.8.1. Start-up Procedure
On unpacking and placing the balance onto its workstation it is necessary to connect the weighing
module and the terminal to the mains. Next proceed like in case of a standard design (description to
be found further down this user manual).
