3.0 Operation

This section walks through using the eight modes of operation and the other functions used during the operation of the balance.

Always adjust the level of the balance before use. Calibrate the balance when it is installed or relocated.

3.1 Precautions Related to a Specimen

Static Electricity

• synthetic resin- and glass-made specimens are easily charged electrically

• weighing electrically charged specimens makes the displayed value unstable, reducing the reproducibility of a test result

• Neutralize electrically charged specimens before measurement

Magnetism

• specimens affected by magnetism weigh differently depending on the position on the pan, reducing reproducibility

• eliminate the magnetism or place the specimens on a container/plate to protect the weighing mechanism

Moisture Absorption/Evaporation

• wet or volatile specimens can cause the displayed value to continuously fluctuate due to evaporation

• Put these specimens in a container with a tight fitting lid to prevent evaporation during the weighing process

Specimen Temperature

• difference in temperature between specimens and the windshield interior generates convection flow causing errors

• if specimen temperature is excessively high or low, allow its temperature to stabilize at roo m temp era tu re prior to

measuring

• ensure the windshield interior temperature is equal to room temperature prior to measuring

• body temperature of operator affects measurement results, handle specimens with tweezers and refrain from putting

hands in the windshield during operation.

3.2 Display Navigation

Use the F-Keys to navigate through the menus and en ter numerical values.

• = increments numeric values. Scrolls through menus/selections

4.4.3 Set the Discrimination Value of Comparator Function

There are two ways of inputting a reference value and upper and lower limit values.

• Actual value setting method (onW) – weighing a sample with a scale and then making it a setting value

• Numeric value setting method (NUM) – inputting a setting value directly via key operation

The discrimination is performed according to the following criteria:

Absolute Value

The discrimination is performed based on the upper and lo wer limit values that have been set in advance.

Relative Value

A reference numeric value is set in advance, and the discrimination is performed based o n the ra ng e de fine d b y the up pe r an d lower limit values that have been set for the reference numeric value.

Example: Two-point (upper and lower limits) setting, Reference value = 1000.00 g Lower limit value = 900.00 g, Upper limit value = 1200.00 g

Date/time Output

Table 5-6. Transmission Procedure

Select an input command. The balance sends normal completion response or the requested result data.

• The balance transmits an error response if the operation is unsuccessful or if the command is invalid.

• In normal display mode, the balance sends a response within one second of receiving the command. A response is sent for tare range, span adjustment or span test commands.

• Do not send a command to the balance until a response from the previo us command is received from the balance.

The balance needs additional response time in some situations:

• The balance waits for stability after receiving a tare or a zero-poi nt adjustment command if <17 WT STABLE> is <ON>.

• If the balance receives a command when setting a function, when it is under span adjustment or if it is busy for other reasons, the command is executed after the current operation is completed.

Troubleshooting and Maintenance

IMPORTANT

6.0 Troubleshooting and Maintenance

This section covers basic troubleshooting and maintenance of the balance.

Observe proper disposal.

*This balance including accessories may not be disposed of in domestic waste in conformance with the

specific requirements of the country, county and local jurisdictions. When disposing of the product, contact

local authorities and ask for the proper method of disposal. *Do not use volatile solvents on the balance. *Unplug the AC adapter from the receptacle when the balance is not going to be used for a long period of time.

6.1 Precautions Related to the Main Unit of the Balance

Operating Precautions

• If equipped with a dust cover, the balance may be unstable due to static electricity charged on the cover at low humidity. Wipe the cover with a wet cloth, use an anti-static agent, o r use the balance with the cover removed.

• For more stable measurements, it is recommended to tu rn the ba lance on fo r at least 30 minutes and lo ad the balan ce a few times with a weight equivalent to the weighing capacity before measurement.

Adjustments

• Calibrate the balance periodically with a test weight or use an internal adjustment weight.

• Turn the balance on for at least 30 minutes and load the balance a few times with a weight equivalent to the weighing capacity before measurement.

• Adjustments are also needed in the following cases:

Using the balance for the first time. Using the balance after a long period of non-use. Changing the location of the balance. There is a large change in temperature, humidity or atmospheric pressure.

Maintenance

• Dirt or liquids on the weighing pan can cause erro rs or an unstable weight reading.

• Clean the balance frequently, ensuring that dust or liquids don’t e nter into the internal parts of the balance.
