1. Introduction
This manual describes how the MC Series Mass Comparator Balances, MC-10K and
MC-30K, work and how to get the most out of them in terms of performance.
Read this manual thoroughly before using the balance and keep it at hand for future
reference.
For other functions and operations that this manual does not describe, refer to the GX-K
series instruction manual.
1-1. About This Manual
This manual consists of the following five parts:
Basic operation ........................ Describes precautions, the balance's construction and basic
operation.
Adapting to the environment .... Describes response (and stability) adjustment to adapt to
the environment where there is vibration or drafts, the way to
maintain weighing precision in a variation of ambient
temperature, calibration and calibration test.
Selecting functions.................... Describes functions of the balance.
Interface and communication ... Describes the RS-232C serial interface and external contact
input. The RS-232C serial interface can communicate with a
computer that requests weighing data and controls the
balance. This RS-232C interface is for use with a computer
or printer. The external contact input commands the balance
re-zeroing and data output.
Maintenance ............................ Describes maintenance, error codes, troubleshooting,
specifications and options.
1-2. Features
Display resolution, one digit greater than a standard balance. This allows management of
OIML class F1 or lower weights.
Capable of weighing small amounts of powdery or liquid material, even with a massive tare.
When used as a mass comparator, the balance can achieve even more precise weighing,
by using the optional auto-centering pan (sold separately), which reduces eccentric loading
errors.
