3. PRECAUTIONS To get the optimum performance from the balance and acquire accurate weighing data, note the following: 3.1. Before Use Install the weighing unit in an environment where the temperature and humidity are not excessive. The best operating temperature is about 20°C / 68°F at about 50% relative humidity. -

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 air flow and measures to take Where the influence of ambient air flow is great such as: close to an air conditioner, door or passage way. Even very subtle air flow that is hard to be detected may influence the weighing operation.

Page 16: During Use
3.3. 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. -

Page 21: Smart Range Function
5. 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 minimum weighing value using the SMP command. -
Page 22: Communication Specifications
6. 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 23 2.

Page 24: Command Example
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 25 CAL command example External devices Time Weighing unit (PC, PLC) S T , + 0 0 0 0 . 0 1 2 CAL command C R L F @ R E ; @ D P ; 0 0 0 @ S T @ C H ;...

Page 27: Maintenance
7. MAINTENANCE Do not disassemble the balance. Contact the local A&D dealer if the balance needs service or repair. Use the original packing material for transportation. Do not use organic solvents to clean the balance. Clean the balance with a lint free cloth that is moistened with warm water and a mild detergent. -
Page 28: Troubleshooting
8. TROUBLESHOOTING 8.1. Checking the Balance Performance and Environment The balance is a precision instrument. When the operating environment or the operating method is inadequate, performing accurate weighing will not be possible. If the balance seems to have a problem with repeatability or to perform improperly, check as described below. Also, visit our website, http://www.aadd.co.jp/, for “Information Library”... -
Page 29: Asking For Repair
Sample and container Has the sample absorbed or lost moisture? Has the temperature of the sample, and the container if used, been allowed to equalize to the ambient temperature? Refer to “3-2 When Building into a System”. Is the sample charged with static electricity? Refer to “3-2 When Building into a System”. Is the sample of magnetic material such as iron? Use much care when weighing magnetic materials. -
