chamber,
− inside the chamber place lower
shield of weighing chamber (1),
− inside the chamber place anti-
breeze shield (2),
− put centring ring on the shield
(3),
− put the balance pan inside the
ring (4),
− close side doors of weighing
chamber,
− turn on balance supply,
− pin of power adaptor should be
connected to socket in the back

− Set the balance on stable table, far from vibrations

− The balance should be replaced far from draughts and air breeze.
− The balance should be in stable temperature and humidity room
− The balance should be replaced far from sources of
− Temperature in the room +18° C ÷ +30° C ( AS /X)
− If the static electricity has influence on the balance indications it
base should be earthed. Earthing screw is in the rear part of the
balance base.
− The balance should be replaced in leveled position

2.2. Set level up

The balance should be leveled. The correct leveling is shown on the level
indication installed at rear of the balance.

2.3. Warming up

Before measurements user should wait untill the balance reaches

temperature stabilization. It is warming up time.

For analytical balances warming-up time is about 1 hour.

This periods refers to the balances which ware in surrounding temperature
(work) before start weighing.

If the analytical balances are kept in lower temperature before

weighing the warming-up time is about 8 hours and for precision balances it
is about 2 hours.
During warm-up stabilization the indications can change.

7. BALANCE CALIBRATION

To ensure high precision of weighing corrective factor in relation to

standard mass must be noted in the balance memory periodicaly – it is the
balance calibration.

Calibration should be performed when:

- The weighing is started,
- Long breaks are between following measure series
- Temperature inside the balance changes more than: 0,8° C

Kind of calibration:
- Internal automatic calibration
* started if temperature changes, started if the time changes
- Manual internal calibration
* started by the balance keyboard
- Calibration made with external weight
* with declared mass which cannot be modificated
* with any mass which should be given before the calibration
process

In verified balances only automatic internal calibration and manual internal

calibration is accessible.

Perform the calibration when there is no load on the pan!

10. SETTING THE PARAMETERS

User can adjust the balance to existing conditions (filter) and own needs
(autozero, displaying last digit) by means of parameters in group <P4
Readout>.

Draw 22. Submenu Readout – internal setting

10.1. Setting filter

Dependly on conditions set the filter. If the conditions are conductive set
the filter as very fast (value of the parameter 01 Filter 1) and if the
conditions are bad (vibrations, draught) set the filter as slowly or very
slowly (value of the parameter 01 Filtr at 4 or 5). Efficience of filter is
different for range of weighing. The filter works slowler during getting to
weighed mass. It works faster when mass is the settled filer range
(parameter filter range accessed only from service menu – user does not
have acess).

 10.2. Value release

Select and set way for stability result of weighing: fast, fast +reliable or
reliable.

10.3. Set the display refreshing time

This parameter determines period of time which the display refreshes in.
Information on the display is compared to information which is sent by the
balance processor about load on the pan.
For higher values of the refreshing parameter indirect not stable mass
indications are not presented on the display during puttin on and yesing off
the load. For low values all changes in mass during weighing are visible – it
enables to dosage liquids and solids. The refreshing time is settled in
seconds.

10.4. Set autozero working

To ensure precise indications programmable function „AUTOZERO” is in

the balance. This function controls automaticaly and corrects zero
indication of the balance.
If the function is active following results in declared periods of time are
compared eg. each 1s. If these results differs at less value than declared
range AUTOZERA eg. 1 interval the balance sets to zero automaticaly and
and appears on the display.

If the AUTOZERO function is active each measurement starts at precise

zero every time. In special cases this function disturbes in the
measurements eg. when the load is put on the pan very slowly (pouring
substance). In this case correcting system of zero indication can correct
also indication of real load mass. AUTOZERA is switched on anr off in the
parameter P4 03 in accordance with p. 5.1.1 of the manual.
15.5. Displaying last digit

19. COOPERATION WITH LABEL PRINTERS CITIZEN CLP-521

You should follow the steps below to assure the proper operation with the
label printer. Use the program „ETISOFT” to designer your own label
ƒ label size
ƒ a kind and number of data to place on the label

Notice:
In order to print properly interial (inside balance) variable, you should
predict a proper number of characters for each variable. (charts 2,
3,and 4).

After giving it an original name, save the label on a computer hard drive.
(alphanumeric characters). Download the label to the CITIZEN CLP-521
printer
ƒ LPT cable (centronics)
ƒ Set RS232 baud rate in the printer to 9600 bits per second

Design a special printout in the balance that will produce printing the
downloaded label. (all the information the printer expects to print it). Set
corresponding parameters of printout (example):
ƒ Printout number
ƒ The begin and the end of a printout (start and stop)

- 65 -
 • A label example named „Etykieta01”

3 labels after each measurement are to be printed out

Printout designing procedure:

ƒ Inscribe printout data in corresponding texts – P6 parameters’

group Printout; parameters: String 01 ÷ String 80.

Use variables from chart 1 (printout control variables) and variables

including different data from the balance.

Prn. 1 start –1
Prn. 1 stop – 10

ƒ After setting all the corresponding parameters, return to weighing

mode (save the parameters).

Now you can connect the balance with the printer (a cable diagram in
the users’ manual). Check the setting of transmition parameters both in
the balance and in the printer. They should be the same. Place a load
on the weight pan and after stabilizing press PRINT. The designed
printout will be sent to the printer and three identical labels will be
printed out.

20. WEIGHING LOADS UNDER THE BALANCE

In standard version balances have possible to weight loads under the

balance. To use this function:

Draw 56. Weighign under analytical balance

Remove the cover in the base of the balance. There is a hook visible which
can be used to suspend a sample.

Note:
1. The suspension eye is directly connected to the weighing
mechanism. Take great care not to move or rotate the eye, as this
will damage the weighing mechanism.
2. Accessories such as an under the balance rack and a suspension
hook are available.
3. The mass of all suspended accesories should be set to zero by
pressing TARE before commencing any weighing.
