U.S.A. The quality of Scientech balances has been demonstrated by being certified to carry the “CE” mark of conformity. Please read this manual com- pletely before using your balance.
Instructions for NTEP models Instructions for NTEP models Instructions for NTEP models Instructions for NTEP models Unpacking and Setup: The balance, weighing pan, remote power supply and windscreen are packed in a foam support to protect them from shock during shipping and handling. Save and reuse all packing material for future damage-free ship- ments.

Note: The balance should be connected to an electrical outlet for at least one (1) hour prior to calibration and leveled according to the Unpacking and Setup section.
Instructions for NTEP models Instructions for NTEP models Instructions for NTEP models Instructions for NTEP models Good Measurement Practices: (As quoted from the Mass Standards Handbook by Troemner, 3-015BKT rev 1/03) There are numerous steps that one can take in order to improve the quality of a mass measurement system. However, they usually fall within three main categories: the equipment, the environment, and the operator.
AC outlet. Note: Scientech recommends that the balance be plugged into an electrical outlet at all times. This ensures the balance is always warmed up and ready for use. You can leave the balance on as it consumes < 5 Watts.
Scientech balances are DTE (computer) devices. If communicating to another DTE device (ie computer), a Scientech RS-232 cable, PN11897, null modem cable is required. If you are communicating to a DCE device (printer), a 9 pin to 25 pin serial cable #10170 is required, this can be purchased through Scientech.

Density Determination: Scientech does not offer a density determination kit nor do you need one to determine density. Density is mass (grams) per unit volume (cubic centimeters). In order to determine density of a solid, place a graduated flask with a known volume of water on the pan of the balance, tare the balance, and then place the solid in the flask of water.
Scientech balances are DTE (computer) devices. If communicating to another DTE device (ie computer), a Scientech RS-232 cable, PN11897, or normal null modem cable is required. If you are communicating to a DCE device (printer), a serial cable is required. Scientech offers a serial cable, PN11367, for your convenience.
Using Bi-Directional Communications: Scientech electronic balances, interfaced to a computer via the RS-232 port, can be controlled by a computer program. Any programming language with access to the RS-232 interface can be used to program this control.

Optional RS-232 Printers: Please contact Scientech or one of our representatives for more information. A comprehensive manual is in- cluded with each printer when purchased. All printers are set for a 9600 baud rate and even parity. To change these settings please see the printer manual and the RS-232 Front Panel Configuration section.

If equipment return is required, please pack the items in the original box and packing material. As an alternate, place equipment in a snug fitting box, then pack that box in a larger box with at least four inches of packing material between the two boxes. Scientech does not assume responsibility for under packed items.
