Page 3: Introduction
Introduction Thank you for purchasing a Setra precision balance. The fine workmanship and durable construction should provide years of reliable service. While your balance is easy to operate, it is advisable to read this guide carefully before use. It is designed to help you perform weighing and related opera- tions quickly and accurately. -
Page 4: Section One
Section One Installing Your Balance SETUP 1.Locating your balance... You should treat your balance as you would any piece of precision equipment, locating it on a clean, dry surface; away from extremes of draft and vibration. 2.Leveling your balance... The bubble level is located underneath the loading pan. Adjust the two front feet until the bubble is centered in the circle. -
Page 5: Section Two
Section Two Understanding Your Balance KEYBOARD FUNCTIONS Instructs the balance to accept calibration data. Factory programmed to select display response rate. Can MODE be user programmed to hold a displayed weight. Sends to a printer or other peripheral device the informa- PRINT tion on the display. -
Page 6: Display Messages

Press the TARE key and select another operation. HHHHHH The weight on the pan exceeds the capacity of the balance. -
Page 7: Section Three
Section Three Using Your Balance BASIC WEIGHING To weigh a sample on your balance, use the following procedure: 1. Press the TARE key to zero the display. 2. Place the object(s) to be weighed on the pan. 3. Wait for the “ok” indicator, then read the weight from the display. WEIGHING WITH A CONTAINER To weigh objects or liquids without including the weight of the container, use the following procedure:... -
Page 8: Percent Deviation
PERCENT DEVIATION To calculate the amount by which a weight varies from a reference, follow this procedure: 1. Press TARE. 2. Place the reference weight on the pan. 3. Press the "%" key. After acquiring a stable reading, the display will read "100.000", "100.00"... -
Page 9: Changing The Display Response Rate
4. Remove the container. 5. Place the empty container on the pan. 6. Fill the container until “100%” is displayed and the ok LED is lit. 7. Empty the container. 8. Repeat Steps 5 - 7 as many times as desired. 9. -
Page 10: Flow Rate
2. Perform any weighing procedure. 3. To return to the automatic weighing mode, press the MODE key. FLOW RATE The balance can monitor flow rates by calculating the weight change in weight per second. The factory default "x" user definable unit is set to grams/second. -
Page 11: Repetitive Printing
5. Perform the necessary weighing procedures on the balance. 6. Press the PRINT key on the balance. NOTE: If using label stock, the form feed command must be programmed in User Setups (see Appendix I). When using a printer other than the CoStar SETRA 250, set the baud rate and parity of your balance to match the printer (see Appendix I, User Setups to select the print mode, baud rate and parity). -
Page 12: User Setups
Appendix I User Setups The outline below represents the balance's menu structure. To enter the menu press and hold the TARE key and then press the MODE key. To view the current menu options, press the TARE key repeatedly. To select the displayed option, press the MODE key. -
Page 13: Calibration
CALIBRATION To perform a span calibration, use the following procedure: STEP 1. TARE 0.00 MODE 0.00 POWER Press the TARE key to zero the balance. STEP 2. 0.00 4000 Press the CAL key and the balance will display its full scale capacity calibra- tion point. -
Page 14: Setting Function Of Mode Key For Display Response Rate Or Hold
SETTING FUNCTION OF MODE KEY FOR DISPLAY RESPONSE RATE OR HOLD The MODE key may be set to change the balance’s display response rate or hold a displayed weight. If set to the hold feature, the balance will attain a stable weight then lock the display until a key is pressed. -
Page 15: Setting The Print Function
SETTING THE PRINT FUNCTION The PRINT key can be setup to send readings to a printer or computer under different parameters via the RS-232 port. The selectable print functions are: stable print which will only print once a stable reading is attained, instant print which will print immediately after the PRINT key is pressed (note: the reading may not be stable) and interval print which may be programmed to print at predetermined time intervals. - Page 16 STEP 4: TARE MODE S7AbLE 0.00 POWER a. For stable print Press the MODE key to select the stable print mode. The balance will return to the normal weighing mode. b. For instant print Press the TARE key once to display “InSTAn” for instant and then press the MODE key.

Page 17: Setting The Baud Rate
SETTING THE BAUD RATE The balance is capable of interfacing with a wide variety of computer de- vices. To set the baud rate (the rate at which the scale communicates with a computer or printer) and parity, use the following procedure: STEP 1. -
Page 18: Enabling Units Of Measure
STEP 5. TARE MODE PArI7Y nOnE POWER Press the MODE key to enter the parity menu. The display will read “nOnE” for no parity. To view the parity menu press the TARE key. STEP 6. TARE MODE nOnE 0.00 POWER When the desired parity (none, odd, even) is displayed, press the MODE key. -
