1-2 For more accurate measurement
To make more accurate measurement, it is necessary to lessen error-causing factors in measurement
to the extent possible. Error-causing factors include not only an instrument error and performance of
the balance itself but also the nature and condition of a specimen, measuring environment (vibration,
temperature, humidity, etc.) and the like. These factors will directly affect measurement result in the
case of a balance with high resolution capability.
1-2-1 Precautions related to measuring environment
Temperature/
humidity/
atmospheric
pressure
→
Try to keep the room temperature constant to the extent possible in order to
avoid condensation and indication drift due to change in temperature.
→
Low humidity is likely to cause generation of static electricity, resulting in
inaccurate measurement.
Vibration/shaking
→
It is preferable to locate a measuring room on the first floor or the basement. The
higher the room is, the larger the vibration and shaking become. Therefore, a
highly located room is not suitable for measurement. Rooms near the railway or
road side should also be avoided.
Air draft
→
Places directly exposed to air current from an air-conditioner or to direct sun
generate abrupt temperature change and resultantly cause unstable weight
indication, and therefore, should be avoided.
Gravity
→
The latitude and altitude of a measuring location differentiate the gravity that
affects a specimen, giving a different weight indication to the same specimen.
Electromagnetic
wave
→
At a location where a strong electromagnetic wave generating object is in the
proximity of a balance, the balance is affected by the electromagnetic wave,
making the balance unable to indicate accurate weight, and therefore, such a
location should be avoided.
1-2-2 Precautions related to measuring table
Vibration/shaking
→
Vibrations during measurement destabilizes the indication of measurement
value, leading to inability to make accurate measurement. And so use of a
measurement table that is robust and hardly affected by vibration is required (a
vibration-proof structured table or concrete or stone-made table is suitable). In
addition, placing a sheet of soft cloth or paper under the balance causes shaking
or makes keeping horizontal attitude difficult, and therefore should be avoided.
→
The measurement table should be installed in a position free from vibration to
the extent possible. A corner rather than the center of a room is less affected by
vibration and therefore more suitable for installation of the balance.
Magnetism/Static
electricity
→
Use of the balance on the table that is subject to magnetism or static electricity
should be avoided.
1 Prior to use MG-S series operation manual
－4－
1-2-3 Precautions related to a specimen
Static electricity
→
In general, synthetic resin- and glass-made specimens are high in electric
insulation, and so easily charged electrically. Weighing an electrically charged
specimen makes the indication value unstable, reducing the reproducibility of
the test result. Therefore, neutralize an electrically charged specimen before
measurement.
Magnetism
→
Specimens affected by magnetism show different weight in a different position
of the weighing pan, reducing the reproducibility.
When weighing a magnetized specimen, either eliminate the magnetism from
the specimen or place a setting plate on the weighing pan to distance the
specimen from the weighing mechanism of the balance so that the mechanism
may not be affected by the magnetism.
Moisture
absorption/
Evaporation
→
Measuring a moist or evaporating (vaporizing) specimen increases or
decreases the indication value of the balance continuously. When this is the
case, put the specimen in a container equipped with a small mouth and closely
seal the mouth before measurement.
Specimen
temperature
→
Difference in temperature between the specimen and the windshield interior
generates convection flow within the windshield, causing a measurement error.
When the specimen temperature is excessively high or low, allow the specimen
temperature to stabilize at the room temperature before measurement. Also, to
prevent the convection flow from arising within the windshield, make the
windshield interior temperature equal to the room temperature before
measurement.
→
Measurer’s body temperature also affects measurement result. Handle a
specimen with tweezers instead of directly holding it with fingers and refrain
from putting your hands directly in the windshield during measuring operation.
1-2-4 Precautions related to the main unit of a balance
Operating
precautions
→
A dust cover, if equipped, for the balance may possibly make the weight
indication unstable due to static electricity charged on the cover at a low
humidity. When this is the case, wipe the cover with wet cloth or use antistatic
agent or use the balance with the cover removed.
→
For more stable measurement, it is recommended to energize the balance for
longer than 30 minutes and load the balance a few times with a weight
equivalent to the weighing capacity before measurement.
Calibration
→
Calibrate the balance periodically with an external calibration weight. For the
sake of precise calibration, use an external calibration weight weighing nearly
equal to the weighing capacity of the balance.
→
Energize the balance for longer than 30 minutes and load the balance a few
times with a weight equivalent to the weighing capacity before calibration.
→ Calibration is also needed in the following cases:
When using the balance for the first time,
When using the balance after a long period of non-use,
When changing a place of installation, and
When there was a large change in temperature, humidity or atmospheric
pressure.
Maintenance
→
Attachment of dirt such as powder or liquid to the weighing pan or pan base will
cause measurement error or unstable weight indication. For that reason,
frequent cleaning of the balance is required. In cleaning the balance, take care
for the dust or liquid not to enter into the balance.

2-3 Weighing a sample placed on a container (tare)
When weighing a sample to be weighed with the object placed on a container (tare), the weight of the
container must be subtracted from the total weight to get the actual weight of the object to be weighed.
This is called “tare subtraction” or “tare”.
1
Place a container on the weighing pan.
The weight of the container is displayed.
2
Perform tare subtraction.
Push [Tare] key.
The indication changes to zero and the
< > symbol lights.

Performing the tare narrows the weighing range as much as the amount
of the tare weight mass (tare weight).
Weighable range = weighing capacity - tare weight
(2)
Tare weight can be output at “3 Check the tare weight” by pushing [Output] key.
Check “External input/output functions” to refer the output setting.
(3)
Stability waiting during the tare can be set using the Setting menu <17 WT STABLE>.
The setting of <17 WT STABLE> is not changeable and the balance always wait
stability during tare-subtraction.
(4)
When using a tare whose tare weight is already known, the tare can be performed in advance by
inputting its tare weight (preset tare). For its setting method, refer to “5 User information setting”.
Preset tare function is not available.
(5)
When turning on the power placing a tare that exceeds the initial zero-adjustment range at the
time of power supply, the tare subtraction is executed.

5-3 Setting of the discrimination value of the comparator function
There are two ways of inputting a reference value and upper and lower limit values as described below:
-
Actual value setting method:
Weighing a sample with a balance and then making it a setting value.
-
Numeric value setting method:
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 lower limit values that have
been set in advance.
-
Relative value:
A reference numeric value is set in advance, and the discrimination is performed
based on the range defined by the upper and lower limit values that have been set
for the reference numeric value.
（For example）
Two-point (upper and lower limits) setting, Reference value = 1000.0g,
Lower limit value = 900.0 g, Upper limit value = 1200.0 g

Upon successful completion of an input command, the balance will send either a normal
completion response or the result data requested by the command to the external device.
-
If the operation has not resulted in successful completion, or if the command is invalid (an error), the
balance will transmit an error response.
-
When the balance is in normal display mode, it usually sends a response to a command within one
second of receiving the command. For the tare range, a response is sent after the commands are
completely processed.
(1)
After you have sent an input command, the balance return the response command
approximately in 1 second.
(2)
Do not send another command to the balance until the external device receives a response
from the balance.
(3)
If the balance receives a command when you are setting a function, when the balance is
under span calibration, or the balance is busy for other reasons, the command is ignored.
In the case that <17 WT STABLE> is <ON>, the balance waits the weighing stability after receiving
Tare-subtraction command/Zero-point adjustment command.
For verified balance, <17 WT STABLE> is fixed to <ON> and the balance always waits
the weighing stability after receiving such a command.

8-4-1 Span calibration and span test
Span calibration is to “decrease” the difference between an indicated value and the true value (mass),
and span test is to “check” the difference between an indicated value and the true value.
This must be performed without fail in the case of doing high-accuracy weighing work.
Because an electronic balance is affected by the acceleration of gravity, calibration/test is needed at
every weighing location. The calibration/test is also needed when (1) using a long period and (2) an
accurate indication does not appear any longer.
(1)
An external weight used for the span calibration shall be the one equivalent to the OIML F1 class.
(2)
The span calibration significantly affects the weighing accuracy. Please read this procedure
carefully before getting to the calibration.
