Balance assembly Upon unpacking the balance remove any protective elements and assembly the balance: - assembly the metal pan (2) on the balance base, mounted onto the balance - assemlby draft shield (1), only for balances with pan Φ 115 mm - plug the power adapter interface into the port of interfaces housing, next connect the power adapter to mains. The balance will activate automatically. CAUTION: While cleaning it is advisable to follow below precautions.
2. BASIC INFORMATION 2.1. Intended use The purchased balanced serves to determine the weighing value of loads in laboratory environment. It is intended for application as a non-automatic weighing instrument only, i.e. the material to be weighed is manually and carefully placed in the centre of the weighing pan. Weighing result should be read only after stable reading has been obtained. 2.2. Inappropriate use Do not use the balance as a dynamic weighing instrument.
2.4. Monitoring the metrological parameters of the instrument Metrological characteristics of the balance require periodical inspection to be carried out by its user. Inspection frequency is dependent on ambient conditions in which the balance is used, types of performed processes and accepted quality management system in organisation. 2.5.
4. UNPACKING, ASSEMBLING AND START-UP 4.1.
4.2. Unpacking Cut the sealing tape. Take the balance out of the packaging. Open the box with accessories and take the items necessary for correct balance operation.

Access Access levels USER Access to parameters in the submenu: and setting in parameter group except for .
10. WEIGHING 10.1. Required weighing procedures In order to ensure long lasting use of a balance and reliable measurement of weighed loads, follow below procedures: Start the balance with no load on the weighing pan (permissible value of load on the weighing pan on balance start is ±10% of its maximal capacity).
Before the start of weighing process or in case of drastic change of ambient conditions at a workstation (e.g. ambient temperature change at a workstation more than 3°C) the balance requires adjusting. The procedure of balance adjustment is described further in this user manual.
10.2. Zeroing In order to zero mass indication press button. The mass indication on the display should equal zero, and precise zero should appear. and stability marker Zeroing process is tantamount to determining new zero point recognised by the balance as precise zero. Zeroing is possible only in stable status of display indication.
Manual tare determination Procedure: • While in optional mode press quick access button F, to which the option is assigned in settings (description of the setting further in this user manual, point ), • which opens a window, button, • use the arrow buttons to enter tare value and press • the balance returns to weighing mode, and the display indicates entered tare value with minus „–" sign.
AUTOTARE Function allowing for automatic taring of the packaging during the weighing process, when packaging mass for each of the product is different. Description of this function is to be found further down this manual. Deleting tare button on the Entered tare value can be deleted by pressing balance’s overlay or by entering tare value of 0.000g (see description above). 10.4.
10.4.1. Setting level of filtering Depending on the balance working conditions you should set the filter. In ideal conditions you can set the filter to be very fast (parameter value P.2.2.1.1 Filter to be V.FAST); however, if the working conditions are bad (shakes, drafts), the filter should be set to slow or very slow (parameter value P.2.2.1.1 to SLOW or V. SLOW). The effectiveness of the filter is different for the weighing range.
10.4.3. Autozero function In order to ensure balance’s precise mass indication, autozero (Auto) software parameter has been introduced. The application of this function is automatic control and correction of zero indication. When the function is enabled, it compares balance indications at declared time interval e.g. 1s, on condition that weighing pan is unloaded and display indication is close to zero. If results vary less than declared AUTOZERO range e.g.
10.4.5 Balance ambient conditions This parametre has two settings: STABLE and UNSTABLE. Setting on STABLE mode makes the balance work much faster than on UNSBABLE mode. This parametre relates to the ambient conditions in which the balance operates. If the ambient conditions are unstable it is recommended to use UNSTABLE mode. Normally the parametre is set on: STABLE. 10.
Take off the product together with the packaging; The balance will cancel tara value (the packaging mass saved in balance storage during the first step of the operating process) after the gross mass value (set in < P 2.2.3.2 AUTO THRES> parameter) has been exceeded; • Put packaging of a next product on weighing pan, after measurement stabilization automatic taring of the packaging mass will proceed (Net marker will appear in the upper part of the display); • Put a next product that is to be packed.
Automatic operation proceeds as follows: button to zero the balance (marker of stable Press measurement and zero marker are shown on display) Place the load, the balance sends the first stable measurement to the printer port, Remove the load from the balance, Next measurement is possible when the reading on the display is lower than the set value of < AUTO THRES. > parameter (next measurement does not require zero value).
10.7 Temporary measuring unit This function is only available in mode. In other modes measurements are only possible in basic unit [g]. Function enables selecting a measuring unit which will be indicated next to mass reading during the weighing process. Set measuring unit will be in use from the moment of its activation until its change or switching off and on the balance. Each press of the button causes change of the measuring unit.
10.9 Availability of measuring units This function is only available in mode. In other modes measurements are only possible in basic unit [g]. The user can declare the weighing units which will be available when selecting button. For these units the parameter temporary unit by pressing availability is set to . These parameters can be selected by the user.
10.10 User unit A user can declare two weighing units. User unit is the result of balance indication multiplied by the factor that was introduced for user unit. User units are marked as [u1] – user 1 unit and [u2] – user 2 unit. The way of declaring factor for an individual user is shown below User units are available only for non-verified balances.
10.11 Information Function enables displaying additional information in the bottom line.
10.12 Non-standard information Function enables declaring non-standard information, which is to be displayed in the bottom line of the display. A user can insert any text consisting of maximum 19 characters. It should be remembered though, that the declared non-standard information is visible. Therefore, option P2.1.2 should be set to < NSTD. INF. >.

12 INFORMATION ABOUT THE BALANCE This menu includes information about the balance and its installed software. The parameters are strictly informative. Once the parameter > is chosen, the balance settings are sent to the printer (all parameters). The parameters are transferred via port that was chosen for .
13 BALANCE ADJUSTMENT In order to ensure the highest weighing accuracy, it is recommended to periodically introduce to balance memory a corrective factor of indications in relation to a mass standard – i.e. balance adjustment. Adjustment should be carried out: Before the beginning of weighing procedure, If long breaks between following measuring series occur, If temperature inside the balance changes more than: 3°C.
13.1. Internal adjustment Adjustment process can be initiated automatically and manually. Manual means of activating adjustment procedure is achieved by pressing . System of automatic adjustment will carry out the process fully automatically and will inform the user on successive process stages. Cycle of automatic adjustment process: - Balance software detects the necessity of carrying out adjustment and signals it by displaying a thermometer pictogram and at the top of the display.
Automatic adjustment process takes place in three different areas: • Adjustment on plugging the balance to mains – verified balances. • Adjustment triggered by temperature change inside the balance. The balance is equipped with very precise system for monitoring temperature. At each adjustment process, the temperature is saved in the system. The next adjustment is automatically initiated if temperature changes more than 3°C from the last saved temperature. • Adjustment triggered by elapsing time.
• P1.1 INT. CALIB. – Internal adjustment Start of internal adjustment process. Adjustment is conducted automatically, and no user assistance is required. If weighing pan of the balance is loaded, balance will display a command to unload the weighing pan. If weighing pan is loaded with a relatively small mass (up to 4% of balance max capacity) then adjustment process will be carried out automatically, but measuring results may differ by the amount that was present on balance weighing pan. or • P1.
• P1.4 CALIB. TEST – Adjustment test This fuction enables comparing the result of internal automatic adjustment with the value of internal weight saved in balance’s factory parameters. The process is conducted automatically and its result is shown on the display (if the balance is connected via RS 232 port with a computer or printer, the adjustement result will be printed out). Press ESC to go back to the previous menu. • P1.5 AUTO. CALIB. T.
13.3.Manual adjustment 13.3.1. Internal adjustments Press Cal button or The balance performs internal adjustment automatically. During adjustment process do not load the weighing pan with any load. The message is displayed in the bottom line. Once adjustment process is completed, balance saves its result in memory and returns to weighing mode. CAUTION - Press Esc button to abort adjustment process.
13.3.2. External adjustment The external adjustment in balances NPS series should be carried out with external mass standard / weigh class F1 Start of external adjustment process, Balance will display a command ordering unloading of weighing pan (weighing pan must be empty). When weighing pan is unloaded, press button. The balance determines mass of empty pan and message is displayed in the bottom line.
The first procedure of the process is to enter the mass of the weight that is to be used for adjustment. The mass must be ≥ 30% Max capacity. Once the mass of the weight is entered and confirmed, the message is displayed which asks you to remove the weight from the pan (weighing pan must be empty). After that, press button, the balance determines the weight of unloaded pan and message is shown in the bottom line .
