1 Installation instruction WARNING: Please follow carefully these steps for installing and use the new balance before starting your work routine. A way of use of the instrument different from this user manual will not guarantee the instrument’s safety anymore. Remove the balance and accessories from the cartoon and check for any visible damage of the instrument.
Insert power unit into AC outlet, which shall be easily accessible; after few seconds the balance will automatically switch on. Wait 30 minutes from switch on and then calibrate the balance using the appropriate mass, following the instructions (par.7) Calibrate again the balance every time it’s moved to another place Check the balance calibration periodically.

Stand By From “STAND BY” mode: Press ON/OFF button to bring balance to work conditions. Press again ON/OFF button to return to “STAND BY”...
6 Calibration Electronic balances take mass measurements making use of gravity (g). Difference of latitude in geographic areas and altitude will vary gravity acceleration value (g). Therefore, for accurate measurements, the balance must be adjusted to the local environment. This adjustment is accomplished by calibration function. External calibration balances Calibration is accomplished by pressing CAL button.
Page 11
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".
7 Tare function 1. Load the container on the pan. The display will show the weight. 2. Press O/T button. “O-t” string will be displayed 3. After reaching stability, the value “0.000” will be displayed. If the stability is not reached (due to air flows or vibrations or other disturbs) the dashes will remain displayed.
Manual tare function This function allow to insert manually the tare values. 1. Press and keep pressed the O/T key whit no objects on the weighing pan until the beep alarm stops, then release the key. 2. Will be shown on the display the following string: 2 Sec 3.
Optional alphanumeric external keyboard (code T201) If you have the optional external alphanumeric keyboard, then it is possible to perform tare also by pressing the TARE/DELETE button of this keyboard, in the same way as previously described. It’s also possible to manually insert a known tare value by the keypad. 1.
