5. Oppsett

5.1 Utpakking og førstegangsinspeksjon

Carefully remove the balance from its packaging. Inspect all components for any signs of damage. If any damage is found, do not use the balance and contact customer support immediately.

5.2 Plassering

Place the balance on a firm, level, and stable surface. Ensure the location is free from vibrations, drafts, direct sunlight, and rapid temperature fluctuations, which can affect measurement accuracy.

5.3 Leveling the Balance

The balance must be perfectly level for accurate readings. Use the adjustable feet at the bottom of the balance to center the bubble in the integrated level indicator (refer to Figure 4.4).

5.4 Strømtilkobling

Connect the provided power cord to the balance and a suitable power outlet (100-240V). Alternatively, the balance can be powered by a 9V battery for portable use.

5.5 Oppvarmingstid

After connecting power, allow the balance to warm up for at least 30 minutes before taking measurements. This stabilizes the internal components and ensures optimal accuracy.

6. Bruksanvisning

6.1 Strøm på/av

  • Trykk på PÅ/AV button to turn the balance on.
  • Trykk og hold inne PÅ/AV button to turn the balance off.

6.2 Grunnleggende veiing

To perform a basic weight measurement:

  1. Ensure the balance is level and has completed its warm-up.
  2. Trykk på TARE/NULL -knappen for å stille inn skjermen til 0.000 g.
  3. Carefully place the item to be weighed on the center of the weighing pan.
  4. Wait for the reading to stabilize. The stable weight will be displayed.

6.3 Tarafunksjon

Tarafunksjonen lar deg trekke fra vekten av en beholder, slik at bare nettovekten av innholdet måles.

  1. Plasser en tom beholder på vektskålen.
  2. Trykk på TARE/NULL knappen. Skjermen vil tilbakestilles til 0.000 g.
  3. Tilsett materialet som skal veies i beholderen. Displayet vil vise materialets nettovekt.

6.4 Enhetskonvertering

The balance supports multiple weighing units. To change the unit:

  • Trykk på ENHET button repeatedly to cycle through available units: g (grams), ct (carats), oz (ounces), ozt (troy ounces), lb (pounds), gn (grains), t (metric tons), dwt (pennyweights), kg (kilograms), dr (drams), tlT (Taiwan Tael), N (Newtons), and % (percentagog).
  • The selected unit will be displayed on the screen.

6.5 Parts Counting (PCS)

This function allows you to count a large number of identical items by weight.

  1. Place a known quantity of items (e.g., 10, 20, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 500) on the pan.
  2. Trykk på PCS knapp.
  3. Select the corresponding sample quantity using the ENHET knapp.
  4. Pressen PCS again to confirm. The balance is now in counting mode.
  5. Add more items, and the display will show the total count.

6.6 prosenttage Veiing

Prosententage function is useful for formulation and quality control, allowing you to measure a sample's weight as a percentage av en referansevekt.

  1. Plasser referansenample på veiepannen.
  2. Trykk på ENHET button until '%' is displayed. The reference weight will be set as 100%.
  3. Fjern referansenample.
  4. Place subsequent samples on the pan. Their weight will be displayed as a percentage av referansevekten.

6.7 Kalibrering

Regular calibration ensures the accuracy of your balance. It is recommended to calibrate the balance upon initial setup, after relocation, or if you suspect inaccurate readings.

  1. Ensure the weighing pan is empty and the balance is stable.
  2. Trykk og hold inne CAL button until 'CAL' appears on the display.
  3. The display will then show the required calibration weight (e.g., 500.000g).
  4. Carefully place the specified calibration weight (provided) onto the center of the weighing pan.
  5. Wait for the balance to automatically calibrate. Once complete, the display will show 'PASS' or return to normal weighing mode.
  6. Remove the calibration weight.
