Measuring procedure
1 Confirm that the balance is in the mode to measure the
weight of the sample in air. (“g” displayed and processing
indicator blinking)
2 Confirm that the balance indicates zero. If it does not
indicate zero, press the RE-ZERO to reset the displayed
value to zero.
3 Place the sample on the upper pan (in air). When the
value displayed on the balance becomes stable, press
the SAMPLE key to confirm the value (the weight of the
sample in air). The balance enters the mode to measure
the weight of the sample in liquid (“g” displayed and
processing indicator illuminating).
Note
If a negative value or E (error) is displayed, the SAMPLE
key is disabled.
4 Remove the sample from the upper pan and place it on
the lower pan (in liquid). When the value displayed on the
balance becomes stable, press the SAMPLE key to
confirm the value (the weight of the sample in liquid). The
balance enters the mode to display the density (“g”
disappears).
Note
If E (error) is displayed, the SAMPLE key is disabled.
5 To output or store the density, press the PRINT key. The
density output unit is “DS”. To measure the density of
another sample, press the SAMPLE key to return to the
mode to measure the weight in air and repeat the
procedure described above.
Note
If the liquid temperature or the type of liquid is changed during measurement, reset the value
of the liquid density as necessary. For details, refer to “Setting the density of a liquid”.
