1 Positioning the instrument 1.1 Preface Balances with resolutions 0.1mg and 0.01mg are instruments of high sensitivity and precision. To achieve reliable and accurate results it is fundamental to install the instrument in a suitable environment to meet the requirements necessary to ensure its proper functioning.
2 Recommendations for a correct use of the instrument 2.1 Preface To obtain accurate and repeatable weighing pay attention to the following. 2.2 First power on THE FIRST TIME THAT YOU CONNECT THE BALANCE TO THE MAINS, BEFORE USE, WAIT AT LEAST 12 HOURS TO ENSURE THE WARM-UP OF THE INSTRUMENT.
Pay attention to substances that can Evaporate (alcohol) or Absorb humidity (silicon gel). Because of these types of materials weight may vary constantly in one direction. Be careful to Magnetic materials: magnetic objects will attract each other, the force that results are wrongly interpreted as a load.
3 Unpacking / Packing User Manual - After opening the box from upper side you can find accessories box containing: User manual, Weighing Pan, Support Pan, Antiventilation Ring, Power Supply. Scales with resolution 0,01mg on the Support Pan and the Weighing Pan is in ONE piece.
Page 8
Always use original packing in case of balance return to assistance centre to avoid damages to the instrument. Please note following procedures. Before re-packing, remove all movable objects and put them in the accessories box. - Following this sequence, re-pack the balance inside its own box: User Manual...

Weighing 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.
Calibration The electronic balance carries out mass measurements using gravity (g). Differences in geographical regions and altitudes vary the gravitational acceleration (g). The balance must therefore be adapted to environmental conditions to obtain accurate measurements. This regulation is carried out through the calibration function. 8.1 Balances with external calibration The calibration is carried out through the CAL button.
