GENERAL INFORMATION INTENDED USE The PBL-Series precision balance enables fast and accurate mass measurements under laboratory conditions. The weighing pan, made of stainless steel and equipped with anti-draft shield, is an integral part of the PBL-series balance. Backlit LCD display ensures clear measurement result. The PBL-Series balance is equipped with an internal battery (comes standard), so it does not have to be connected to the mains.
Cole-Parmer will exchange, replace or repair the existing balance for any damage that appears to be faulty by production or by construction within the 5-year warranty period. Warranty is voided if: A. Cole Parmer will exchange, replace or repair the existing balance for any damage that appears to be faulty by production or by construction within the 5-year warranty period.

Installation: 1) Check grounding spring to insure it is in the appropriate location. Make sure that the grounding spring juts slightly out of the hole. 2) Install components following diagram below: i. Draft Shield ii. Weighing Pan BALANCE LEVELING It is necessary to level the balance prior to plugging it in. To level the balance, turn its feet until the air bubble is in the center position.
(estimated 1-8 hours). On switching on, the balance requires 30 minutes of temperature stabilization time. During temperature stabilization displayed information may change. Adjustment should be carried out after temperature stabilization. For correct operation of the balance the temperature range is +15˚C to +30˚C; Any changes of temperature and humidity during operation can cause indication errors.
BALANCE KEYBOARD Press to switch the balance on/off Function: press to select working mode. ESC: Exit out of menus/submenus Press to send the weighing result to a printer or a computer. Zero: press to zero the balance. Up arrow: move up the menu or submenu Tare: press to tare the balance.
Simultaneously press to enter 'Main Menu' Press to move upwards within balance menus and submenus Press to enter submenu Press to confirm introduced modifications Press to move one menu level up BALANCE MENU Main menu is divided into function groups. Function group is a group of interrelated parameters.
