ESA Series Precision Balance

Thank you for purchasing the Model ESA precision balance. Please read all operating instructions carefully before using and note the following items to ensure accurate readings.

1.0 Description

• The ESA balances use a high precision load cell and microcomputer for

simple operation with accurate, stable weight readings displayed on the large liquid crystal display.

• This balance is an excellent choice for laboratory use and educational applications, however, it is not recommended for use in production lines, food preparation areas or any other environment where high heat, cold, humidity or vibration are present.

• Do not overload the balance. This will damage the load cell and void the warranty.

• Inspect the platter, draft shield, housing and AC adapter regularly for damage.

• Refer to the troubleshooting chart at the end of this manual for more details.

• Do not attempt to repair the balance if you have a problem. Contact your local Salter Brecknell representative.

4.0 Key Functions

The following figure shows the front panel with six keys. Each key function is explained here.

On/Off Turns the balance on or off or returns balance to normal weighin g

mode.

Count Places the balance in piece count mode. Cal (stands for Calibrate) Enters calibration mode. Tare Used to tare off, up to 100% of balance capacity, an empty

container and to reset the balance to zero. Use of tare with a weight or container reduces the scale’s capacity by the tare value stored. Also works like Enter in some modes.

Mode Toggles the backlight on or off. To extend battery life, turn

backlight off. Also toggles between options in calibration mode.

Units Allows you to scroll through and select from the available units (g,

oz, ozt, dwt, lb) as well as count (ct) and percentage (%).
