DESCRIPTION Your Ohaus Analytical balance is a precision weighing instrument, designed to provide years of service. Simple three button operation allows for the selection of units, calibration and printing parameters. A standard RS232 interface permits communication to an external printer or computer. Power is supplied through an AC adapter.
INSTALLATION (Cont.) Connecting Power NOTICE: The socket/outlet must be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible. Connect the AC Adapter cord to the connector located at the rear of the balance and to a suitable power source. Weigh Below Hook For below balance weighing applications (eg.
TARING When weighing items that must be held in a container, taring subtracts the container's weight from the total weight on the pan. Remember, the weight of the container and the material it holds must not exceed the capacity of the balance. 1.
PRINT MENU The Print menu is used to configure and customize the RS232 interface parameters for your requirements. The following table shows the sequence in which submenus appear on the Print Menu. Factory settings are in bold. PRINT MENU TABLE Baud Rate Specifies baud rate of either 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, or 9600.
SETTING PRINT MENU FUNCTIONS (CONT.) ENTERING THE PRINT MENU (Cont.) Setting Baud Rate Press O/T ON, until bd 2400 is displayed. Using the MODE OFF button, you can select baud rates of 600, 1200, 2400, 4800 or 9600. Once you have selected the proper baud rate for your system, press O/T ON, the display advances to PAR no (parity).
CALIBRATION Your Ohaus Balance was calibrated before shipment, however, calibration can be affected by changes in location, temperature, or rough handling. Your balance can be calibrated in two ways: Span calibration or Linearity calibration. Span calibration resets the balance's weighing range using two weight values: zero and a weight value at or near the balance's capacity.
LINEARITY CALIBRATION 1. With the balance OFF, press and hold O/T ON until MENU is displayed, then release it and UNITS is displayed. Press MODE OFF, LIN is displayed. 2. Press O/T ON, -C- is displayed followed by the value of the first mass which must be placed on the pan.
RS232 INTERFACE RS232 COMMANDS All communication is accomplished using standard ASCII format. Only the charac- ters shown in the following table are acknowledged by the balance. Any other commands, control characters or spaces are ignored. Commands sent to the balance must be terminated with a carriage return (CR) or carriage return-line feed (CRLF).
CARE AND MAINTENANCE To keep the balance operating properly, keep the housing and platform clean. If necessary, a cloth dampened with a mild detergent may be used. Check under the sub platform for debris and remove. Keep calibration masses in a safe dry place. TROUBLESHOOTING ERROR CODES When a problem occurs using the balance, the display will indicated an error code.
