  • Page 21: Installation

    Installation (Start at step 3 when installing a HP (external calibration) series balance. You will need a Pozidrive screw driver for a HPxxxC (internal calibration) series balance.) Place the balance main body upside down. (HPxxxC only) Caution Do not operate step 2 with the balance placed on its side.
  • Page 22 Adjust the level. This balance has four feet, three of which are adjustable. For efficient level adjustment, follow the procedure below. (1) First, verify that all three leveling screws are at their shortest point. (2) While lightly pressing down on the left front of the balance, turn both of the front leveling screws to bring the air bubble into the center circle of the level indicator.
  • Page 23 Note Using a verified balance as a legal measuring instrument in the EU: Legal regulations require a verified balance to be sealed. This control seal is a self-destructive adhesive label. If you attempt to remove it, this seal is irreparably damaged thereby invalidating the verification. The balance must then be re-verified before it is used for legal measurements.

  • Page 24: Turning On The Power

    Turning On the Power Insert the plug of the AC adapter into the DC IN connector on the rear of the balance. Insert the AC adapter into the power source. The balance self-check is activated and the following messages are displayed in the order indicated. [HELLo], [CHE 5], [CHE 4], [CHE 3], [CHE2], [CHE1], [CHE0], whole lighting, [oFF] ([CHE 5] and [CHE 4] are not displayed for the HPxxx series).

  • Page 25: Span Calibration

    Span Calibration Note Using a verified balance as a legal measuring instrument in the EU: Span calibration must be performed once the balance is installed and before using the balance as a legal measuring instrument in the EU. Span calibration must be performed with the internal calibration weight to maintain the verification valid.
  • Page 26 HP series [Span Calibration Using External Weights] Verify that the balance is in gram-display and unload the sample from the pan. Press the [CAL] key once. “E-CAL” is displayed. Press the [O/T] key. The value of the correct calibration weight to be (Example) loaded is displayed and blinks.
