Maintenance and Cleaning

To get the best results and for product longevity, be sure to follow the suggestions below.
Note: All of the suggestions and guidelines mentioned below and through-out this manual will only be effective with continuous and careful mainte-nance of the equipment

• Follow all processes outlined in the manual
• Make the manual available to all users of the equipment
• Prevent the balance from any sudden movements or falls, as well as from direct sunlight or air flow. The balance is a precision instrument and must be handled carefully.
• Balance must be plugged into a grounded electrical outlet and the socket should be easily accessible to unplug in case of emergency
• Never unplug the balance by pulling on the wire, do so from the base
• Never use the balance in a wedged-in location, such as a shelf
• Never use other objects such as pens, pencils, etc. to press the but-tons on the control panel; use only your fingers.
• Never place anything on the pan heavier than the maximum capaci- ty of the balance, or the sensor could be damaged
• Do not submerge the balance, nor spill any liquids on it
• When the balance will be unused for a long period of time, lock the rechargeable battery
• If any liquid does come into contact with the electrical parts of the balance, immediately disconnect it and send it in for service to be checked and adjusted if necessary
• Always use only original components and supplies. Other devices and parts may appear similar, but can damage the equipment.

Cleaning

• Never use scourers or substances that can grate to clean metallic parts. This include, but is not limited to, stainless steel, aluminum, coat-ings, etc.. These can damage the balance and lead to early erosion of effectiveness of the balance.
• Use a lint-free cloth, dampened with soapy water, that does not con-tain any abrasive surfaces, nor corrosive materials

General Structure

STRUCTURE

Installation

Choosing the installation location
When analytical balances are used in routine lab or industrial measurement environments, the weighing speed will be much quicker, and the results more accurate. The location should meet the following conditions:

1.  Work room should be clean and dry
2.  Balance should be placed on a solid, stable, plain flat surface
3.  Avoid locations in which the balance could be exposed to any of the following:
4. a. Airflow from air conditioners, fans, doors, or windows
5. b. Vibrations from surrounding or nearby equipment
6. c. Direct sunlight or radiation
7. d. Electromagnetic waves or fields
8.  Do not use the balance anywhere exposed to explosive, combustible, or corrosive gases.
9.  Do not use the balance in areas with high humidity or high levels of dust
10. When moving from a cooler to a warmer place, the accuracy and reliability of the scale will be influenced by the moisture condensation inside the balance. In order to eliminate this influence, it is best to leave the scale unplugged in its new location for at least two hours before next use.
11.  Avoid extreme temperatures or exposure to direct sunlight or air conditioners. Ideal working temperatures are between 17.5 C and 22.5 C (63.5 and 72.5 F) with tempature fluctuations of less than 1 C (1.8 F) per hour.
12.  Keep the balance clean.
13.  Do not leave material on the balance when not in use.
14.  Always use the correct power supply and voltage with the balance; the balance is supplied with a power adapter 110-220 V/50-60 Hz.

Unpacking and inspection
Check that all of the items indicated below are included in the package
and that nothing has been damaged:

• Balance
• Pan
• Power Cable (AC Adapter)
• External Calibration weight
• In case the balance or any component is damaged during transport, tell your transportation agent immediately in order to process claims within the proper time frame.

Using the Balance

Level adjustment
Once the balance is placed at its location, check the bubble level; if bubble is not well-centered, turn the adjustable feet so the bubble moves to the center and the balance is properly leveled.

Start

1.  Connect the balance to the power supply and press ON key on the panel
2.  When the balance turns on, wait 30 minutes for the necessary warm up time for better performance and stability for the balance.
3.  Once warm up time has passed, it is recommended that the balance be calibrated.
4.  After calibration, the balance will enter weighing mode
5.  To turn the balance off, press the OFF key on the panel and the display will shut off. If the balance will be unused for an extended period of time, disconnect it from the power supply.

Standard Calibration

1. Press CAL key; the value of the necessary weight will flash on display
2. Put the calibration weight on the pan; to complete this step, open the glass door, put the weight on the pan and close the door again. Wait until the value of the calibration weight stops flashing and is fixed on the display (e.g. 100.0000 g, 200.0000g, etc., depending on the model)
3.  Remove the weight from the pan; for this, open the glass door, remove the weight from the pan, and close the door again
4.  The balance will enter weighing mode and will display .0000g

Linear Calibration

1. Plug in and wait for more than 30min to warm up the balance.
2. Press and hold down “ON”, when it shows”Set–C” on display,release”ON”, then quickly press “PRT” and “CAL” in turn and wait for 2 seconds, it will enter linearity calibration mode.
3.  It will shows “LIN–0” at first, then “LIN-200”, pls put on 200g F1 weight on the pan, when it was steady, remove the weight and it will shows “LIN—XXX”(XXX means the number, what number shows on, pls put the accordingly weight on the pan”
4.  Remove the weight from the pan; for this, open the glass door, remove the weight from the pan, and close the door again
5.  The balance will enter weighing mode and will display 0.0000g
