4 Basic Operation
4.1 Power On/Off
Press the On/Off key to turn the power on and off.
The * sign is displayed when the balance is powered by the AC adapter
and is in standby mode.
The balance will start in the mode it was in when last turned off. For example, if you turn off the balance in
the parts counting mode, it will start in that mode when it is next turned on.
(Refer to “Section 5.2: Description of Functions 1” on page 16 for details of the weighing modes.)
4.2 Weighing
Place a sample on the balance and close the windshield door.
A circle will be displayed after the measurement has stabilized.
Read the measurement while the circle is displayed.
The circle will not be displayed or will flicker if the balance is
subject to disturbance such as vibration. Take appropriate
measures to stabilize the balance.
The bar graph indicates the current load in relation to the
balance’s weighing capacity. As the load approaches the
weighing capacity, the bar extends towards the right.
When the weight of an object exceeds the balance’s weighing capacity, [
o
-
Err] is displayed.
If the pan is removed and the zero-point falls below the original zero-point,
[
u - Err] is displayed.
4.3 Zero Adjustment
Press the Zero/Tare key.
Wait until the display becomes stable (the M sign flashes), and set
the display to “0”.
While the zero point is accurately maintained, the [
→0←] sign is
displayed.
4.4 Tare (pan)
Place the tare (pan) on the balance and press the Zero/Tare key.
When the display becomes stable, “0” is displayed.
