WARNING
Verify that you have received the proper voltage
power supply for your country of use!
Insert the power cord into the receptacle located at the back
of the balance and plug the power adapter into a wall outlet.
The display will perform a quick test in which all segments are
briefly illuminated and display “stabilizing” for 30 seconds.
!
WARNING
Mishandling the balance weigh pans can
cause serious mechanical damage!
The balance weigh pan engages critical and delicate
mechanical components inside the balance. Please observe
the following precautions when handling the weigh pans:
1. Do not apply manual pressure to the weigh pan at any time.
2. Do not bump the pan.
3. Do not drop objects onto the pan.
4. Do not attempt to clean or vigorously wipe the pan while it is
installed on the balance.
ROUND-PAN MODELS
Balances with 3.5” or 4.5” round pans feature a weigh pan
assembly that consists of an aluminum pan and an impact pro-
tection ring that helps to shield the weigh pan from lateral
shocks. (For models with 6” pans, simply place pan on pan
stem.)
1. Place the impact ring on the balance first.
2. Center the weigh pan over the impact ring and gently slide
or twist (do not push) the pan onto the pan stem.
3. When removing the pan for cleaning, remove the impact
ring first and then pull the weigh pan straight up and off
(pulling the pan at an angle could result in mechanical
breakage).
SQUARE-PAN MODELS
Simply place the square top-pan on the pan support.
You’re ready to begin weighing!

Check Weighing
Your balance has two check weighing modes. Low and High
Limits and Percent to Target. In Low and High Limits, the dis-
play will show the words “UNDER” if the sample is under the
low limit, “OVER” if the sample weight is over the high limit or
“OK” if the weight is between the limits. There is also a visual
indication in the bar graph. In the Percent to Target, a target
weight is entered and the samples weight is expressed as
percent of the target weight.
