INTRODUCTION • The ADG series of precision electronic balances offers a range of capacities from 3000 grams to 10 kilograms. • The balances are very simple to use and are applicable for general weighing. The user can also use the parts counting and weighing functions for special applications.
INSTALLATION • Unpack the balance carefully. • Place the rubber bumpers for the pan support on the pins then lay the pan on the supports. The spring under the permanent pan support will help eliminate static electricity that may accumulate on some samples.
KEYS Primary Function Secondary Function Re-zeroes the display to Selects the active digit when setting [Tare] eliminate weight of containers parameters.

WEIGHING • If necessary press the [Tare] key to zero the display. Place the object to be weighed on the pan and read the weight after the stability indicator (STAB) is displayed. • The Zero function only operates within a narrow range (±4% of the capacity of the scale) around the original zero point.

To achieve the best accuracy while counting: • The best accuracy is obtained with larger sample sizes. • It is possible to use a smaller sample size to determine a larger sample accurately. • If the sample items are not uniform the results may be inaccurate. •...
• The display will indicate when the weight on the scale is below the low setpoint, between or above the high setpoint. • To disable the function press [Func] until either “ ” or “ ” is displayed and then press [Tare]. = Calibration Procedure •...
= Print when stable or instantaneous When the balance is set to manual print, i.e. = 0, it can be set to print either immediately after [Print] is pressed or only after the balance is stable after [Print] is pressed. The function can also be enabled from the RS-232 interface. See Section 7 on Communications with a Computer or Printer.
= Automatic Power Switch Off The ADG balance includes an internal rechargeable battery. The typical operation time using only the battery is 20 hours. The balance includes the TIME function to turn the power off after 5 minutes if the balance is not being used.
8.11 = Newton Unit of Weight The balance can display the unknown weight in Newtons. When Newtons are selected the “* ” legend on the display will be turned off and an arrow will be turned on under the second digit. •...

PARAMETER The interface parameters are: 300 - 9600 Baud as selected, default 4800 baud 8 data bit No parity 1 stop bit CONNECTION Output Connector: 9 pin D-Subminiature plug Pin 2, Data to the balance Pin 3, Data from the balance Pin 5, Signal Ground Handshaking is not implemented.
NOTE: Continuous output is not recommended when a printer is connected as often the printers cannot keep up with the number of values sent from the RS- 232 interface. The RS-232 will output about 3 lines per second at the fastest baud rate (9600 baud).
