Operating Design The balance consists of a weighing cell, a draft shield and a display and control unit. In addition to the choice of power supply, via AC adapter or external rechargeable battery pack, your balance also has interface ports for connecting additional devices, such as a printer, computer, or universal remote control switch, etc. The display and control unit is fastened to the weighing cell. Operation of the balance follows a uniform “philosophy,” which is described in this manual.
Operating Design Function Keys (Soft Keys) The current function of soft keys is indicated in the bottom line of the display (footer). Texts (abbreviations) or symbols can be displayed. Operation Display for Weights and Calculated Values This display is subdivided into 9 areas. Bar Graph: The bar graph indicates how much of the balance’s capacity is “used up” by the current load; during checkweighing, it indicates the control limits.
Tare Memory, Calculated Values: The symbols displayed here indicate when there is a value in one of the tare memories or when the value shown is a result of calculation rather than direct measurement. These symbols are as follows: a Calculated value s1 Net value | tare memory s2 used by an application program (e.g., formulation, second tare memory) Application Pictograms: The pictograms displayed here indicate the application(s) selected.
Input Bar Code Scanner or Keyboard Input You can use a bar code scanner or an external keyboard to input alphanumeric values. These inputs are processed in the same manner as keypad inputs on the display and control unit of the balance. Bar code and keyboard inputs are only displayed; they cannot activate any function.
Getting Started Storage and Shipping Conditions Allowable storage temperature: 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 104°F) The packaging has been designed to ensure that the A/D converter will not be damaged even if it is dropped from a height of 80 cm (approx. 31 inches).
