4.0 BASIC OPERATION
4.1 TURNING ON THE BALANCE
Plug in the unit using the adapter or use the internal rechargeable battery. It is
recommended that you charge the battery for at least 8 hours before first use.
1) To turn on press the [On/Off] key once and release. The balance will show the
software revision and the battery voltage then self-test before showing the
current temperature as measured or defined by the user. The balance will
show the stable sign and zero weight on the display and is now ready to use.
2) To turn the balance off after use press the [On/Off] key again. There is an
auto power-off function that will automatically turn the unit off if not used for
a period of time; this can be set in the parameters section.
4.2 ZEROING / TARE
You can press the [Tare] key to set a new zero point and show a zero reading. This
may be necessary if the weight reading is not indicating zero with nothing on the
pan. The zero indicator will show up in the upper left corner of the LCD.
If you are using a container whilst weighing then you can place this on the weighing
pan and press the [Tare] key. Providing the container weight is more than 4% of the
maximum capacity of the balance the display will show a zero reading and NET will
light up on the display. You can then weigh your sample in the container. Taring a
container will reduce the maximum weighing capacity available of the balance.
4.3 WEIGHING
To determine the weight of a sample place the sample in the container. The display
will show the weight of the sample and the unit of weight currently in use. The
stable indicator will light up when the reading is stable.
4.4 WEIGHING UNITS
To change the weighing units press [Unit/Clr] which will cycle through the options of
units that are enabled. See Parameters 7.1 Enabling Weighing Units to enable or
disable the weighing units.
