2. Unpacking the Balance Unpack the balance carefully. Keep the packing material to be used for transporting the balance in the future. See the illustrations to confirm that everything is contained. Fine range breeze break ring This ring is an accessory for the GH-252 and GH-202. Before weighing with a minimum display of 0.01 mg, install this ring in place of the "breeze break ring" to avoid errors caused by drafts.
2.1. Installing the Balance 1 2 3 Install the balance as follows: Consider the section "3. Precautions " for installing your balance. Place the balance on a firm weighing table. Assemble the "Dust Plate", "Breeze Break Ring" (or "Fine range breeze break ring") "Pan support", and "Weighing Pan" on your balance. There is a reference illustration on the previous page. Leveling feet Adjust the level of the balance using the leveling feet.
3.2. During Use Note the following items to get accurate weighing data. Metal case Discharge static electricity from the weighing material. Charged material When weighing sample (plastics, insulator, etc.) could have a static charge, the weight value is influenced. Ground the balance, and Eliminate the static electricity using the optional AD-1683. Try to keep the ambient humidity above 45%RH at the room. Use a metal shield case. Grounding Wipe a charged material (plastic sample etc.) with a damp cloth.
Press the RE-ZERO possible errors. key before each weighing to prevent Calibrate the balance periodically so as to eliminate possible errors. Take into consideration the affect of air buoyancy on a sample when more accuracy is required. Avoid foreign matter (dust, liquid or metal fragments) that could get inside the balance. Operate your balance gently. Shorten the operation time as much as possible ( Opening and closing door, putting and removing sample).

AD-1653 Density Determination Kit Weigh in air x water density = sample density Weigh in water - Weigh in the air Example 10.0000 g x 0.9970 g/cm3 = 21.4 g/cm3 10.0000 g - 9.5334 g Temperature 0°C 10°C 20°C 30°C Water density 0.99984 g/cm3 0.99970 g/cm3 0.99820 g/cm3 0.99565 g/cm3 AD-1683 DC Static Eliminator The eliminator is able to dissipate static electricity on a charged sample. The eliminator does not use a ventilator and can be used in precision powder weighting.
AX-T-314A-S External key Plug This plug produces the same operations as pressing the RE-ZERO and PRINT keys. It enables remote control of the balance using an external switch. This operation must connect the GND line to the PRINT or RE-ZERO line for at least 100 miliseconds. External key Plug AX-T-314A-S Terminal AX-SW128 Foot switch The switch can be used to connect the external key plug and used to the RE-ZERO or PRINT keys.
Other options Order code AD-1682 AD-1684 AD-1685 AD-1689 AD-8526 AD-8920 AD-8922 Name and description Rechargeable Battery This option allows use of the balance in a place where AC power is not available. Electrostatic field meter This option measures the amount of the static charge on the sample, tare or peripheral equipment and displays the result. If those are found to be charged, discharge them using the AD-1683 DC static eliminator.
