  • Page 9: For More Precise Measurements

    For More Precise Measurements To be able to conduct more precise measurements, it is necessary to minimize the factors that contribute to measurement errors. There are a great variety of such error-inducting factors, which can be linked to machine error and performance of the balance itself, as well as the properties and condition of samples being measured, and the measuring environment (e.g., vibration,...
  • Page 10 1-2-2 Precautions on the Measuring Bench → Vibration/ If the balance is subjected to vibration during measurement, its indications will become unstable, thus preventing accurate measurement from being Shaking conducted. To avoid this situation, select a solid measuring bench that is less susceptible to vibration.

  • Page 26: Counting Pieces

    6. Counting Pieces To implement piece-counting, the specified samples are loaded on the balance, and their average unit weight (hereinafter, simply the “unit weight”) is entered and saved. The procedure for saving unit weights is called sampling. The counting procedure consists of loading articles that have already been sampled on to the balance. The number of pieces is then calculated by dividing the total weight of the loaded articles by the unit weight saved in memory.
  • Page 27 Changing the sampling number, if necessary. If samples to be counted widely deviate in weight, or a higher measure of How to change the value accuracy is desired, it is recommended that users change the sampling number to a larger value. Press the Zero/Tare key.
  • Page 28: Increasing The Counting Accuracy (Memory Update Method)

    6.2 Increasing the Counting Accuracy (Memory Update Method) ※This procedure is the same as the sampling procedure described on the previous page up, to the point at which the sampling number is changed. Loading samples Load the number of samples displayed. Count the samples precisely and load them on to the center of the measurement pan.
  • Page 29: Measuring Percentage

    7. Measuring Percentage The percentage measurement function operates by weighing an actual sample, selected as the reference, and saving its weight as the reference value and indexing it as 100%. When a measurement sample loaded on the balance is lighter or heavier than the reference, its weight is indicated as a percentage (%) value relative to the reference weight.
  • Page 30 ☆ Key Points of the Prcedure ☆ While samples are being saved, the value indication disappears temporarily, and only the [M] mark flashes. If the balance is affected by wind or other vibrations during this process, the saving time may be prolonged. If [L-Err] appears briefly, it indicates one of the following states: The weight of the reference sample is insufficient.
  • Page 31: Comparator Function

    8. Comparator Function The comparator function judges measurements according to a limit value saved in the balance. The function shows the judgement result by displaying the [ ] mark as either HI (excessive), OK (appropriate), or LO (insufficient). This function is very useful when discriminating between conforming and nonconforming articles.

  • Page 36: Calibrating The Balance

    9. Calibrating the Balance ※ Calibration is possible only when the balance is unsealed. Since electronic balances are affected by gravity gravitational acceleration, they produce different values in various locations. Therefore, before use, balances must be calibrated at the location where they are installed.
