§ Close the battery compartment: Press down on the cover until it clicks into place Leveling the Balance/Scale (only for models BL150S, BL1500S, GM1502) Level the balance/scale any time you set it up in a new location. Use only the 2 front feet of the balance/scale for leveling.
Operating the Balance/Scale Basic Weighing Function Available Features – Taring the balance/scale You can tare the balance within the entire weighing range. Preparation § Turn on the balance/scale: Press e § To change configurations: See the chapter entitled “Configuring the Balance/Scale” §...
Calibration/Adjustment Always calibrate/adjust the balance/scale after setting it up in a new location. Available Features Calibration/adjustment can only be performed when – there is no load on the balance/scale, – the balance/scale is tared, – the internal signal is stable. If these conditions are not met, an error message is displayed.
Application Programs Counting Purpose With the Counting program you can determine the number of parts that each have approximately equal weight. Available Features – Store the current weight value to have it loaded as the preset reference sample quantity next time you initialize the Counting application –...

Averaging Purpose Use this program to determine weights under unstable ambient conditions. In this program, the balance/scale calculates the weight as the average value from a defined number of individual weighing operations. These weighing operations are also known as “subweighing operations” or “subweighs.” Available Features –...
