Page 8: Unpacking The Balance
Unpacking the Balance 2.1. Unpacking The balance is a precision instrument. Unpack the balance carefully. Keep the packing material to be used for transporting the balance in the future. When unpacking, see the illustration below to confirm that everything is included. Serial No. - Page 9 Note When the AD-4212C series weighing unit is incorporated into a system, be sure to earth ground the weighing unit using the grounding terminal. Caution Use the specified dedicated AC adapter for the balance. Use the included AC adapter, and do not connect an AC adapter that is not compatible. If using the wrong AC adapter, the balance and other equipment may not work properly.

Page 12: Precautions
Precautions To get the optimum performance from the balance and acquire accurate weighing data, note the following: 3.1. About dustproof / waterproof performance The dustproof / waterproof level IP65 of the balance means "not affected by direct jets of water". Washing with strong water pressure, submersion in water, etc. -
Page 13: When Building Into A System
3.3. When Building Into a System The AD-4212C is a precision balance. When it is built into a system, errors such as unstable weight values may occur due to static electricity, vibration, sample temperature and magnetism of the materials weighed or used for the devices near the balance. When using the balance as part of a system, take the following precautions: ... - Page 14 Errors due to a static charge and measures to take When the ambient humidity is less than 45% RH, insulators such as plastic or glass are prone to static electricity. When charged material comes close to the balance, a pulling force is generated by static induction between the charged material and the weighing pan.
- Page 15 Errors due to airflow and measures to take Where the influence of ambient airflow is great such as: close to an air conditioner, door or passage way. Even very subtle airflow that is hard to be detected may influence the weighing operation. ...
- Page 16 Errors due to moving the weighing unit The performance of this device is guaranteed when it is not moving. When incorporating the weighing unit into a system that moves the main body, pay sufficient attention to the following and perform a thorough preliminary check. ...

Page 17: During Use
3.4. During Use To minimize the affect by electrical noises, earth ground the weighing unit and the display unit (option). Do not drop things upon the weighing pan, or place a sample on the pan that is beyond the balance weighing capacity. Place a sample in the center of the weighing pan to minimize corner-load errors. -
Page 18: Operation Of Winct-Ad4212C
Operation of WinCT-AD4212C The software has the following functions: - Set the weighing speed - Set the readability value - Sensitivity Adjustment - Set the baud rate • The parameters set using these functions, are stored in non-volatile memory, and maintained, even if the AC adapter is removed. -

Page 22: Smart Range Function
Smart Range Function The AD-4212C-301/3100 are equipped with two ranges. The precision range has a higher resolution. The standard range has a normal resolution. The range switches automatically, depending on the value displayed. Sending the R command allows weighing in the precision range, regardless of the tare value. The range can be fixed to the standard range by changing the Readability using the SMP command. -
Page 23: Communication Specifications
Communication Specifications The AD-4212C series can communicate interactively using RS-232C. The AD-4212C series can continuously transmit the weighing data. (Approx.10 times/second* to 50 times/second) The AD-4212C series is DCE. The AD-4212C series can connect directly to the RS-232C terminal of a personal computer by using the accessory RS-232C cable. - Page 24 2.

- Page 25 4. Command The balance can be controlled by the following commands. When transmitting, add the terminator <CR><LF> to each command. Commands to query weighing data When the display is turned on, the AD-4212C series outputs the weighing data continuously. To use the Q or S command, send the C command to stop the continuous data output, then request the weighing data using the Q or S command.

- Page 29 S command when old versions of the AD-4212C series balances are used For AD-4212C balances with a software version 1.40 or earlier, the S command must be enabled using the procedure described below. For AD-4212C balances with a software version 1.41 or later, the S command is enabled by sending the C command to stop the continuous data output.
- Page 30 3. Confirming whether the PR:00 command has been carried out correctly. Send the “?PRT” command. When the response is “Pr,00”, the setting is correct. Because the setting is in the command mode, the balance does not output the weighing data continuously. 4.
