Operating instructions

Working with CP2P… Models:
Working with the microbalance requires
a steady hand and a smooth, uninterrupted
technique.
Use forceps or other suitable utensil to place
the sample on the weighing pan.
Perform a number of test measurements
before you begin weighing, to allow the
temperature inside the weighing chamber to
adjust to the ambient temperature outside
the chamber. Otherwise, if the chamber
door was closed for a long period of time
prior to beginning weighing, the sudden
change in temperature inside the chamber
when you open the door might affect the
weight readout. This is why we recommend
starting with a series of test measurements;
the repeated opening and closing of the
weighing chamber door, at the same rate as
you will be doing during the actual weighing
sequence, will both compensate this differ-
ence in temperature to some extent and help
you develop a smooth working rhythm.
Place the sample gently on the weighing
pan. The weight readout should stabilize
within 15 to 20 seconds.
The degree of precision attained increases in
proportion as each weighing operation in a
sequence of measurements becomes more
identical.

Basic Weighing Function
Purpose
The basic weighing function is always
accessible and can be used alone or in
combination with an application program
(counting, weighing in percent, etc.).
Features
– Taring the balance/scale
You can tare the balance/scale within the
entire weighing range.
– Assigning IDs to weights (as needed)
– Printing weights
Using Verified Balances/Scales as Legal
Measuring Instruments in the EU*:
The type-approval certificate for verification
applies only to non-automatic weighing
instruments; for operation with or without
auxiliary measuring devices, you must
comply with the regulations of your country
applicable to the place of installation of
your balance/scale.
● Before using the balance/scale as a legal
measuring instrument, calibrate and adjust it
at the place of use using the built-in motor-
ized calibration and adjustment weight (span
adjustment device): see the “Calibration/
Adjustment" section in this chapter
$ The temperature range (°C) indicated on
the verification label may not be exceeded
during operation
Example:
BD BL 200
K +10 … +30°C
