Important notices 2.3.1 Ambient conditions The items of equipment are constructed to provide reliable weighing results under normal ambient conditions in a functioning laboratory. A suitable location for the balance will make it easier to obtain fast, reliable results with the balance.
2.3.2 Operating instructions for the balance Remove the product from the weighing plate after weighing it. Do not force the balance to open. Do not allow the balance to come into contact with water or metal shavings. If the balance is not used for an extended period of time (7 days), unplug the power supply.
2.4.2 Power connection The balance is powered by an external power supply. The voltage printed on the device must match the local mains voltage. Note! Use only original power supplies. The use of other brands, even if authorised by official agents, must be approved by a specialist.
Starting the balance 2.5.1 Warm-up time In order for the balance to provide accurate results, the device must be warmed up for at least 4 hours after being plugged for the first time or after an extended power outage. After this time, the balance will have reached the necessary operating temperature.
2.5.4 Taring Accurate weighing is only possible if the display indicated 0.0000 g before the objects were weighed. Press the TARE/ key to zero the weight display. Taring can be done over the entire weight range of the balance. 2.5.5 Simple weighing (weight measurement) Place the item to be weighed on the plate.
Care and maintenance 2.7.1 Cleaning Always unplug the device from the power outlet before cleaning the apparatus. Do not use harsh cleaning products (solvents or similar)! Use a damp cloth, moistened with a mild soapy solution. Make sure no moisture enters the apparatus, wiping with a soft, dry towel.

Calibration information (BA045 BA058 only) A security mark must be attached in compliance with the following drawing. Type plate Security mark Important type plate information: There is a counter on the type plate that counts upwards if the internal adjustment weight is re-adjusted using service mode.
Operating menu of the balance The operating menu of the balance can be used to set up the balance to meet your specific needs. The operating menu is normally set up during manufacture and does not require any modifications. Nevertheless, the balance can be customised for special applications through the operating menu.
Menu call Perform the modification test once. Change the “Auto-Zero“ function to OFF and then to ON. - Turn the balance on by using the ON/OFF/ESC key. - Press the CAL/MENU key until FUnC.SEL appears. - Press the TARE/ key only once until CAL appears. - Press the CAL/MENU key once until trC :on appears.

Adjustment Adjustment with external weight Balances without automatic internal calibration are supplied with an external weight. This external weight can be used to check and set balance precision at any time. During the set-up, balance sensitivity is adapted to the ambient conditions. Adjust your new balance at the balance location after a warm-up period before initial use.
Checking the balance with the internal weight (BA045 BA058) Sequence: Remove the items being weighed from the balance plate and press the TARE/ key ; the display will indicate zero. Press the CAL/MENU key until I CAL appears. Note: Balances with automatic internal adjustment are set at “I cal” as a standard, i.e.

Changing the units The basic weight unit is the unit used by the balance for weighing after being turned on. Menu call FUnC.SEL trC:on band:1 Unit.SEL grams (0.0001 g) Milligrams (0.1 mg) Percentage Parts ..for more units, see the menu Use the CAL/MENU key to select the desired weight unit.
Percentage weighing Display symbol: Percentage weighing allows the weight to be expressed as a percentage of the reference weight. The indicated weight value is accepted as the preset percentage (standard setting: 100%). Condition: Perform the change of units in %, see Chapter 6.4 “Changing the units“.
Counting Display symbol: PCS The counting program allows the weight calculation to be converted into number of parts with respect to a reference weight. The displayed weight will be taken for a preset number of parts (setting for 10, 20, 50 or 100 parts). Counting accuracy is higher when there are more parts.
Auto-print display The Auto Print function sends the value on the display after standby to a DATA I/O and RS232C interface. For subsequent printing, the balance must first be unloaded. Auto Print ON Printing output to interface Auto Print OFF No printing output to interface Menu call: FUnC.SEL...

Important information These electronic scales are a precision instrument. Electromagnetic fields can cause major display discrepancies. The scales must then be repositioned away from electromagnetic fields. All sources of environmental interference, such as drafts and vibrations, should be avoided. Sudden changes of temperature should be avoided. The scales must be reset to match changes in temperature.
