3. START UP
3.1. Intended use
• Place the balance on a firm and stable foundation / workbench free from air
movement and vibrations.
• The balance cannot be exposed to drafts and sudden gusts of air.
• The balance should be placed in a weighing room with stabilized temperature and
humidity.
• The balance should be installed in a place distant from heat sources.
• Ambient temperature in a weighing room should not exceed range between +10°C ÷
+40°C.
• Should static electricity affect balance indications, ground the balance’s base. The
grounding bolt is located at the back of balance’s housing,
• Place the balance on a leveled foundation. Additionally level the balance following
indication of the balance’s level located at the back of balance’s housing. Leveled
balance ensures required measuring accuracy.
• When carrying out pipette calibration process, on assembling the adapter for pipette
calibration, start the balance with no beaker (calibration vessel) on the weighing pan.
When balance displays zero indication, put the calibration vessel on the weighing
pan, and on stabilization of the indication press ESC/ZERO TARE key.
• Before unplugging the balance from mains always turn off the display by pressing
ON/OFF key.
3.2. Leveling
On placing the balance in its intended place of use, it should be leveled. Balance current
level status is demonstrated on the level located at the back of balance’s housing. In order
to level the balance turn its adjustable feet, located on the bottom section of balance’s
housing, in a way to make the air bubble of the level indicator move towards the center the
small circle marked on the level indicator.
3.3. Balance temperature stabilization period
Before start of measuring processes, it is necessary to wait until the balance is thermally
stabilized. It is a period of so called balance self-heating time.
