Page 8: Introduction
WinCT or WinCT-Plus installed. The software can be downloaded from our website https://www.aandd.jp The BA-T series is equipped with a DC type ionizer (static eliminator) that does not generate wind, and eliminates static electricity from charged objects before weighing in order to reduce errors due to static electricity.
Page 9: Part Names, Installation And Precautions
Make sure that the AC adapter is unplugged before you connect the breeze break unit and the ionizer. BA-T series analytical balance is composed of the weighing unit and display unit. It is not possible to replace just one of the units.
Page 10 Unpacking Packing contents common to BA-T series Display unit Breeze break Weighing unit protection cover Breeze break top door bottom plate Quick Start Guide Tweezers Spatula Display unit USB cable Cable A (approx. 1.8 m) (approx. 0.2 m) Ionizer AC adapter...
Page 11 Assembly and installation The BA-6TE is used here for the example of assembly. Other models can be assembled in the same way. Breeze break unit Step 1. Pull out the breeze break locking handles. Step Step 2. Place the breeze break unit on the weighing unit.
Page 12 Top pane Step 5. Assemble the glass breeze break. Side panes (3 pieces) Assemble the BA-6TE / BA-6DTE glass breeze break in the weighing chamber. Align the side panes with the notch of the base stand. Step Base stand Side pane Example of the small breeze break with the right side open.
Page 13 Step 9. Using the included cable A and cable B, connect the "weighing unit" and "breeze break unit" (with the cable A) and the "display unit" and "weighing unit" (with the cable B) respectively, paying attention to the direction of the arrow on each cable (on the connector). Make sure to unplug the AC adapter before connecting.
Page 14 BA-6TE / BA-6DTE BA-225TE / BA-225DTE / BA-125DTE Installation considerations, preparation and precautions Prepare the following installation conditions in order to bring out the full performance of the balance. Note that the installation environment needs to be taken into consideration for the highly sensitive BA- 6TE / BA-6DTE.
Page 15 Be sure to warm up the balance before use for at least an hour, or at least four hours for BA-6TE/BA- 6DTE, with the AC adapter connected to the power supply. Adjust the sensitivity of the balance before using it for the first time or after having moved it to another location so that accurate weighing can be performed.
Page 16 Ground the balance and perform the following as needed. A DC type ionizer that produces no currents of air is available for the BA-T series balances. Refer to “24. Ionizer” and remove static electricity from the charged sample directly.
Page 17 For weighing where impurities will be a problem, it is advisable to prepare samples outside the weighing chamber in order to prevent the substance from scattering inside the weighing chamber. When pressing the touch screen or keys, do not press with a sharp object such as a pen. Instead, press the center of the key with your finger.

Page 206 24. Ionizer The ionizer removes static electricity by irradiating the target object with positive or negative ions that are generated from four discharge electrodes by DC corona discharge. Ordinarily, insulators such as powders, filters, or weighing paper, tend to be charged when the humidity is 45% RH or less, and an error of a few milligrams may occur during weighing.
Page 207 Optimizing the Ionizer Static elimination method can be optimized with the switches on the rear. Refer to the following table for the functions of switches. Change the settings of switch 1 and switch 2 as shown in the table when eliminating static electricity out of the effective range.
Page 208 25. Maintenance Treatment of the balance When cleaning the balance, wipe it with a lint free cloth that is moistened with a little neutral detergent. Do not use organic solvents or chemical cleaning cloths to clean the balance. Do not disassemble the balance. When transporting the balance, use the packing material and box that the balance was contained at the time of purchase.
Page 209 26. Troubleshooting Checking the balance performance and environment Since the balance is a precision instrument, in some cases it may not be able to measure correct values due to adverse effects of the measurement environment or measurement method. If repeatability is poor when the sample is loaded and unloaded several times, or if the balance seems to be operating abnormally, check the following items.
Page 210 Asking for repair If the balance needs service or repair, contact your local A&D dealer. The balance is a precision instrument. Use much care when handling the balance when transporting the balance. Use the packing material and box that the balance was contained in at the time of purchase. Remove the weighing pan and pan support from the main unit of the balance.
