2.4 Connecting Power and Acclimatising the Balance
Connect the DC output connector to the power receptacle on the rear of the
balance. Then connect the AC adapter plug to a suitable electrical outlet.
Acclimatising It is suggested that the balance should not be used until it has
been connected to power and acclimatised to the environment for a certain
period of time. In the case of a balance with the precision above 0.1 mg, the
acclimatisation time should be 1.5 hours; in the case of balance with the
precision of 0.01 mg, the acclimatisation time should be more than 4 hours.
2.5 Connecting the Interface
The PX balance has two data interfaces, RS232 and USB. Use the RS-232 port to
connect either to a computer or a printer with a standard (straight-through)
serial cable. Use the USB port to connect to a computer with a USB 2.0 Type A
to Type B cable.

2.6 Initial Calibration
When the PX balance is first installed, or when it is moved to another
location, it must be calibrated to ensure accurate weighing results. PX
balances are classified into two categories, InCal models and ExCal models.
InCal models have a built-in calibration mechanism which can calibrate the
balance automatically and does not require the use of external calibration
masses. If preferred, InCal models can also be manually calibrated with
external masses. ExCal models are calibrated with external masses. Make sure
to have the appropriate calibration masses available before beginning
calibration.

5.2 Calibration
PX balances offer a choice of three calibration methods: Internal Calibration
(for InCal models only), Span calibration and Linearity Calibration.
Attention: Do not disturb the balance during any calibration.
5.2.1 Calibration Sub-menu (InCal models)
Note: ExCal models only have Span Calibration and Linearity Calibration.
5.2.2 Internal Calibration (not applicable to ExCal models)
Calibration is accomplished with the internal calibration mass. Internal
Calibration can be performed at any time, provided the balance has warmed up
to operating temperature and is level. With the Balance turned ON and no load
on the pan, the internal calibration can be performed. Alternatively, press
the Tare / Menu-Cal button and select Internal Cal to initiate the internal
calibration. The screen shows the status, and then press any button to return
to the current application after calibration.
5.2.3 Automatic Calibration (PX85 PX125D PX225D ONLY)
When Automatic Calibration is set ON, the balance performs a self calibration:
· when it senses a temperature change of 1.5°C · or every 3 hours
AutoCal will automatically calibrate the Balance (using the internal mass)
each time there is a change in temperature significant enough to affect
accuracy.
5.2.4 InCal Adjust (not applicable to ExCal models)
Use this calibration method to fine tune the effect of the Internal
Calibration. Calibration Adjust may be used to adjust the result of the
Internal Calibration by +100 divisions.
Note: Before making a calibration adjustment, perform an Internal Calibration. To verify whether an adjustment is needed, place a test mass equal to the span calibration value on the pan and note the difference (in divisions) between the nominal mass value and the actual balance reading. If the difference is within +/- division, calibration adjustment is not required. If the difference exceeds +/-1 division, calibration adjustment is recommended.
Example:
Expected weight reading: Actual weight reading: Difference in gram: Difference in division:
200.000 (Test mass value) 200.014 0.014 14 (InCal Adjust value)
To perform a Calibration Adjustment, select InCal Adjustment from the list of Calibration Menu; enter the value (positive or negative divisions) to match the difference noted earlier in the procedure. Recalibrate using Internal Calibration. After calibration, place the test mass on the pan and verify that the mass value now matches the displayed value. If not, repeat the procedure until Internal Calibration reading agrees with the test mass. Once completed, the balance stores the Adjustment value and the display returns to the current application.
5.2.5 Span Calibration
Span calibration uses two calibration points, one at zero load and the other
at specified full load (span). For detailed calibration mass information,
please see the specification tables in section 9.1. With the balance turned ON
and no load on the pan, Span Calibration can be performed. The best accuracy
is achieved using the mass closest to the full span value.
EN-24 Steps for span calibration
1. Press and hold the Tare / Menu-Cal button, and the Calibration Menu will
display.
2. Press Yes to enter the Calibration Menu. To change the calibration mode,
press No until Span Cal (span calibration) is displayed.
3. Press Yes to begin the span calibration.
4. The calibration masses value will be shown in the screen. After the
display shows “Place weights” and “100.000 g”, place weight(s) of 100 g on the
pan for calibration. To change to the calibration point of half full capacity
(e.g. 50 g), press the Function / Mode button. After the screen shows “Place
weights” and “50.000 g”, place weight(s) of 50 g on the pan for calibration.
5. Remove the weight from the pan.

Defining Custom Unit Set Custom to On in the Unit menu to enable and define
the Custom Unit. The Custom Unit is defined by entering three parameters,
Factor, Exponent and LSD (least significant digit). Define the Custom Unit as
follows:
1. Determine how many custom units there are in 1 gram. 2. Convert the value
to scientific notation, e.g. m x 10n. 3. Enter the value of m as the Factor
setting. 4. Enter the value of n as the Exponent setting. 5. Enter the amount
that the Custom Unit steps by as the LSD setting.
Enter the Factor and the Exponent and LSD.
Custom Unit = Conversion Factor x Grams. The LSD is the value by which the displayed weight is incremented or decremented.
Note: The conversion factor is used by the balance to convert grams to the custom weighing unit and is defined by entering a factor and an exponent. The factor is a value between 0.1000000 and 1.999999 inclusive. For example: One cup of chemical 0.5643834×1 g, the factor should be set 0.5643834.
The exponent moves the decimal point of the factor to the right for positive values or to the left for negative values. For example: One cup of chemical 10 g, the exponent should be set 2.
The LSD is the value by which weight is incremented or decremented.

9.4.3 USB Interface
The Ohaus USB Interface is a unique solution to the problem of connecting a
balance to a computer using a Universal Serial Bus (USB). USB devices are
categorized into classes such as disk drives, digital cameras, printers, etc.
Balances do not have a commonly used class so the Ohaus USB interface uses a
generic interface based on the RS232 serial standard.
Data sent from the balance to a computer is in USB format. The USB data is
directed to a virtual port. This port then appears as an RS232 port to the
application program.
When sending a command from a computer to the balance, the application program
sends a command to the virtual port as if it were an RS232 port. The computer
then directs the command from the virtual port to the computers USB connector
where the balance is connected. The port receives the USB signal and reacts to
the command.
System Requirements x PC running Windows 98®, Windows 98SE®, Windows ME®,
Windows 2000®, Windows XP®, Windows 7® or Windows 8® (32-bit) or Windows 10®.
x Available USB port (Type A, 4-pin, female)
9.4.4 USB Connection
The balance’s USB port terminates with a 4-pin, female, USB Type B connector.
A USB Cable (type B/male to type A/male) is required (not supplied).
1. Ensure that the balance is powered on and working properly. 2. Power on
the computer and verify that its USB port is enabled and working properly. 3.
Plug the cable’s USB connectors into the computer’s USB port and the balance’s
USB port. Windows®
should detect a USB device and the New Hardware Wizard will be initialized.
EN-52
Download from Ohaus’ Website
1.The New Hardware Wizard guides you through the required steps to select the
driver that is located on the website.
2.After clicking Finish, the virtual port should be ready for use. Windows®
typically adds the virtual port in sequence after the highest number COM port.
For example, on PC’s equipped with up to 4 COM ports, the virtual port will be
COM5.
When using the USB interface with programs that limit the number of COM port
designations (e.g. Ohaus MassTracker allows only COM1, 2, 3, & 4), it may be
necessary to assign one of these port numbers to the new virtual port.
PX Series Balance Example of Windows XP Hardware Wizard
This can be done in the Port Settings of the Device Manager utility, found in the Windows Control Panel.
USB INPUT
The balance will respond to various commands sent via the interface adapter.
Terminate the following commands when with a [CR] or [CRLF]
PX Commands
P
same as pressing Print
SP print stable weight only
IP
immediate print of displayed weight (stable or unstable)
CP Continuous print of weights
T
same as pressing Tare
Z
same as pressing Zero
PV print software version
xT establish a preset Tare value in displayed unit. X = preset tare value.
Sending 0T clears tare (if allowed).
Auto-Print Operation Once Auto-Print is activated in the menu, the balance will send data as required. If there is data in the print buffer the printer will finish printing this data.

Configuración del elemento: x Tipo de muestra: sólido x Líquido auxiliar: agua
x Material poroso: Off x Temperatura del agua: mida la temperatura actual del
agua usando un termómetro de precisión.
La temperatura del agua es de 20 °C por defecto. Pulse No o Back para aumentar
o disminuir el valor de la temperatura. La balanza calcula la densidad del
agua basándose en el valor de la temperatura del agua.
1. Pese la muestra en aire utilizando la balanza y el kit de determinación de
densidad. Cuando aparezca el símbolo * (símbolo de estabilidad), pulse el
botón Function / Mode para confirmar el peso de la muestra en aire.
2. Pese la muestra sumergida en el líquido, utilizando la balanza y el kit de
determinación de densidad. Nota: introduzca la muestra en el líquido hasta que
esté completamente sumergida.
3. Pulse el botón Function / Mode para obtener la densidad de la muestra. Una
vez finalizada la prueba, pulse el botón Function / Mode para realizar el
análisis de una nueva muestra.
