6. Switch on

After connecting the balance to power supply, an autodiagnosis of electronic circuits is

automatically effected, ending with stand by indication

Balance Warm-up: Wait 8 hours from switch on for warm up

It is suggested to never disconnect the balance from power socket and use ON/OFF
key to put the instrument in standby mode until end of work.

From “STAND BY” mode: to bring the balance back to working conditions, press ON/OFF
key.

It is recommended not to drop heavy objects on balance pan, to avoid damage of the
instrument.

Electronic balance effects mass measurings using gravity (g). Differences in geographical
areas e in altitude change gravity acceleration (g).
Therefore, to get precise measurings, balance has to be adjusted to environmental conditions.
This adjusment is accomplished through calibration function.

It is needed to calibrate the balance every time it is moved to another place.

11
7. Calibration

7.1 External calibration

Calibration is accomplished by pressing CAL button.

1. Press CAL button when pan is empty, dashes are displayed on the display.

2. When calibration weight value starts to flash, load the weight on the pan.

3. The display will stop flashing, indicating calibration weight value.

Once the calibration is effected will be shown the value of the calibrated weight and the
current unit of measure.

4. Unload calibration weight from the pan.

The balance is ready for weighing operations.

NOTE: if there is interference during calibration process, an error message will be displayed.

12
Moreover, it is possible to calibrate the balance with a calibration weight higher than the one
set by default:

1. Press and keep CAL button pressed with empty pan until the acoustic alarm stops, then
release the button. On display it will be visualized the string "-CAL-", followed by
flashing string "LOAD".

2 Sec

1. Load on the pan a weight equal higher or lower than default calibration weight; the
balance will recognize it as valid weight if equal or higher than calibration weight as
long as it is a whole number in comparison with the most meaningful digit of
calibration weight .
e.g.: if calibration weight is 200g, it will be possible to calibrate the balance with
values from 100g 200g, 300g, 400g up to the highest limit of balance weighing
range.
The message “LOAD” on display will stop flashing. Once calibration has been
effected, the value of calibrated weight will be displayed.

2. Unload calibration weight. The balance is ready for weighing operations.

NOTE: if there is interference during calibration process, an error message will be displayed.

Periodically check the calibration of the scale.

27. RS232 interface features

1. General features
The balance transmits the value visualized on the display following serial RS232C
standard, allowing to print the value of weight to a PC monitor or to a serial printer. In the
case of connection to a PC, it will be possible to select the transmission in continuous
mode or transmission at user command through pressing of the PRINT button. The
balance is also capable of receiving commands, always through the standard RS232C,
that allow performing all the functions available through the keyboard of PC itself. The
speed of transmission and reception can be selected, as described previously , to 1200,
2400, 4800, e 9600 baud. The character format is of 8 bit preceded by one bit of start
and followed by a bit of stop. Parity is not considered.

2. Selection of interface for PC

Selecting the transmission to PC (personal computer IBM compatible), it is achieved a
continuous transmission output, at the same rate of weight update on display of the
balance. It is possible to perform all the functions of the balances directly from the
computer keyboard, transmitting to the balance the ASCII codes as in the table below.

CODE 1st FUNCTION CODICE 2nd FUNCTION

(SINGLE PRESS) (PROLONGED
“T” = H54 TARE PRESS)
“C” = H43 CALIBRATION “t” = H74 TARE
“E” = H45 ENTER “c” = H63 CALIBRATION
“M” = H4D MENU “e” = H65 ENTER
“O” = H4F ON/OFF “m” = H6D MENU
“o” = H6F ON/OFF

Selecting the transmission to PC at user command, it is achieved a transmission output only

when the PRINT button is pressed, also in this case it is possible to perform all the functions
of the balance directly from the keyboard of the computer, sending to the balance the ASCII
codes in the table above.
