EK-i and EW-i series balances have the following features: q The EK-i series are high resolution type electronic balances having a resolution of 1/6,000 ~ 1/30,000. q The EW-i series are triple range balances and each range has a resolution of 1/3,000.
3. PART NAMES AND FUNCTIONS Outputs the weight value to Turns the power on or off. printer. Held down to enter the function Switches the weighing unit setting mode. (the weighing mode). Weighing mode (EW-i only): Changes the weighing range (when is selected).
4. SETTING UP 4-1. Setting up your balance 1. Place the weighing pan on the main unit as shown on the previous page. 2. Adjust the level of the balance using the leveling feet. Use the spirit level to confirm. The bubble should be in the center of the circle.
5. OPERATION 5-1. Turn the power ON and OFF 1. Press the ON/OFF key to turn the power ON. All of the symbols are displayed as shown above. (About units: Only the units available will be displayed.) The display turns off except for a weighing unit and the decimal point. The balance waits for the weighing data to become stable, and zero will be displayed with the ZERO mark (power-on zero).
5-3. Units The most common unit of weight used around the world is the gram, but there is often a need to shift to alternative units specific to the country where the balance is used or to select modes such as counting or percent. The units and the order they appear in the display are as follows: Pound Ounce (avoir)
5-4. Selecting a weighing unit Press the MODE key to select a unit. The following sections are a description of the Each pressing switches the three common units: g (gram mode), pcs (counting units available in the order described on the previous mode), and % (percent mode).
5-6. Weighing range for the EW-i series q The EW-i series have three weighing ranges, and the display shows which range the weight value belongs to with the mark R1, R2 or R3. q There is a function setting to select how the weighing range changes. q Select from automatic range ( ), manual range ( ) or fixed range (...
5-7. Counting mode (pcs) Determines the number of objects in a sample. Calculates the reading, using the basic sample unit weight, and determines how many pieces are contained. Selecting the counting mode 1. Press the MODE key to select :pieces) Storing the sample unit 2.
9. The balance re-calculates the unit weight while the ACAI mark is blinking. Do not touch the balance or samples on the pan until the ACAI mark turns off. 10. Counting accuracy is improved when the ACAI mark turns off. Each time the above operation is performed, a more accurate unit weight will be obtained.
6. COMPARATOR The results of the comparison are indicated by HI, OK or LO on the display. The comparison is as follows: LO < Lower limit value ≤ OK ≤ Upper limit value < HI Operating conditions (see the function setting “ ”): q No comparison (comparator function disabled).

7. CALIBRATION This function adjusts the balance for accurate weighing. Perform a calibration i n the following cases. q When the balance is first used. q When the balance has been moved. q When the ambient environment has changed. q For regular calibration. 7-1.
5. At step 3, pressing the PRINT key weighs the zero- point value. Do not touch the pan during weighing. Weighing pan With nothing on the pan To store Cal 0 1000. 0 6. Place the calibration weight with the same value as displayed on the pan.
When the balance is first used or has been moved to a different place, it should be calibrated using a calibration weight. But if the calibration weight cannot be prepared, the gravity acceleration correction will compensate the balance. Change the gravity acceleration value of the balance to the value of the area where the balance will be used.
