USER MANUAL ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3. Safety rules It is necessary to follow safety rules of work with the balance shown below. Obeying those rules is the condition to avoid electrical shock or damage of the balance or connected peripheral devices. Repairs and necessary regulations can be done by authorised personnel only.
USER MANUAL ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 7. Preparing working environment +33°C +18°C Location for the balance should be chosen with care in order to limit influence of the factors that can interrupt working balance. This location has to maintain proper temperature for working balance and necessary space for its operating.
USER MANUAL ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 8. Preparing balance to work 1. Take the balance, the feeder and mechanical elements of the pan out. It is recommended to keep the original scale package in order to transport the balance safely in future. 2. Place the balance on a stable ground not affected by mechanical vibrations and airflows.
USER MANUAL ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 9. General operation principles Do not overload the balance more than 20% of maximum capacity. Do not press the pan with a hand. For transportation take off the pan (move it gently and lift it up) and pan support (lift it up) and protect from any damages.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 10. Start-up Plug feeder into 230V power supply socket and feeder output connector into 12V socket at back of the balance. After switching-on, the balance displays AXIS logo and performs automatic self-tests. ul.Kartuska 375B 80-125 Gdańsk http//:www.axis.pl In case of test failure balance displays tests list. Lack mark means negative test result.

USER MANUAL ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Empty the pan. AUTOCALIBRATION Press key twice (double pressing the key helps to avoid accidental starting calibration procedure). Internal calibration: - confirmation) During calibration internal weight is put three times on and obtained results are compared. Discrepancy of results is signalled with a message and causes the balance being blocked.
USER MANUAL ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 12. Checking the balance In order to confirm correctness of the balance during its operation, before starting and after finishing every measurement series it is advised to check weighing accuracy. It can be done by weighing external calibration weight or other object with exactly known mass.

If the scale is equipped with two serial joints (interfaces) Print and SErIAL function is set independently for both interfaces. If scale cooperates with a computer then the computer must have a special program. Dedicated programs are also offered by AXIS. Needed drivers and instructions can be found on the CD supplied with Axis scales.
