  • Page 8: About The Models

    In general, when the ambient humidity is less than 45%RH, nonconductors such as powders, paper, and plastics easily become charged with static electricity. The influence of static electricity may cause a weighing error of several milligrams. The ionizer neutralizes this electrical charge.

  • Page 15: During Use

    If the measured value is not stable or repeatability is poor, remove the small breeze break and try again. Wipe the transparent plates with a damp cloth to remove static electricity to solve the problem of them becoming charged.
  • Page 16 Before weighing, allow the pressure fluctuations to settle. □ If water droplets or powder remains on the waterproof diaphragm and the pan support boss, the performance of the balance may be impaired. Please clean the balance before using it.

  • Page 17: Precautions After Use

    This is a normal state and does not harm the balance. For accurate weighing, keep the AC adapter connected to the balance and AC power unless the balance is not to be used for a long period of time. Please warm up the balance for at least 30 minutes (one hour for 0.0001g models).

    This is the mode to check the number of pieces. Based on the unit mass of the reference sample (weight of one piece), the balance calculates and displays how many pieces are weighed. The smaller the variation in the unit mass, the more accurate the count (the number of pieces). In addition, the ACAI function described later can be used to further improve the counting accuracy while weighing.
