dure as outlined under the CALIBRATION section. After unit is on or
calibrated, press and release the Cal/Mode key will change the weigh-
ing mode. When balance is turned on the unit initially defaults to the

Press and release to turn on balance. Once the unit
is on, the same key operates the additive memory feature. The follow-
ing steps outline the procedure for cumulative weighing of samples.
1) If needed, place container on weighing pan, wait for stable reading,
then press and release "tare" to return balance to zero and permanent-
ly remove container weight from the additive procedure.
2) Add first sample until desired weight is achieved.
3) Press and release "memory" to reset unit to zero. The memory
symbol (up arrow) appears in the upper left corner, indicating the
previous weight value has been stored.
4) Add second sample until desired weight is achieved.
5) Press and release "memory" again. The (up arrow) symbol will
disappear and the display will show the combined weight of the first
and second samples. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for additional items.
NOTE: When the entire load is removed from the balance, the display
will show a negative value equal to the tared value of the container if
used. To reset the balance to zero, press and release the tare key.

Press and release tare to reset the balance to zero. Tare
can be used to eliminate the weight value of a container from a sample
or procedure. The container weight is permanently removed from the
remainder of the procedure.
NOTE: When all weight is removed from the weighing pan, the tared
value of a container will be displayed as a negative number. Press and
release tare again to return the balance to zero.

Overview

The Acculab Pocket Pro Series Model PP-250B is a compact electronic balance designed for precise weighing. It offers multiple weighing modes and features to enhance usability and accuracy.

Function Description:

The PP-250B functions as a digital scale with a capacity of 250g and a readability of 0.1g. It supports various weighing modes including grams (g), ounces (oz), pennyweight (dwt), and troy ounces (ozt). The device includes a tare function to zero out the weight of containers, an additive memory feature for cumulative weighing of multiple samples, and an auto-off function to conserve battery life. Calibration is performed externally via the keypad using a known weight.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Capacity: 250g
  • Readability: 0.1g / 0.01oz / 0.1dwt / 0.01ozt
  • Repeatability: ±0.1g
  • Weighing Modes: g, oz, dwt, ozt
  • Tare Range: To capacity by subtraction
  • Calibration: External calibration from keypad
  • Stabilization Time: 3 seconds
  • Maximum Overload: 150% of capacity
  • Overload Indication: "E" with audio tone
  • Underload Indication: Negative value
  • Auto Off: 4 minutes of no activity
  • Optimum Operating Temperature: 64°-77° F (18-25° C)
  • Optimum Operating Humidity: Less than 80% RH
  • Display Type: LCD with power-up segment test
  • Audio Tone: Start-up, function keys, overload, low battery
  • Low Battery Indication: "LO" with 10 beep signal
  • Power Requirements: 9V alkaline battery only
  • Platform Size/Type: 3" x 3.25" plastic (75 x 85mm)
  • Dimensions (HxWxD): 1" x 3" x 4.75" (25 x 75 x 120mm)
  • Net Weight: 1 lb / 0.5 kg
  • Included Accessories: (1) 200g calibration weight, 9V alkaline battery, carry pouch

Usage Features:

  • Keypad Controls: The device features a simple keypad with "CAL/MODE," "ON/MEMORY," "TARE," and "OFF" keys.
    • CAL/MODE: Press and hold to initiate calibration. Press and release to cycle through weighing modes (g, oz, dwt, ozt).
    • ON/MEMORY: Press and release to turn on. Once on, it activates the additive memory feature. The memory symbol (up arrow) indicates a stored weight. Repeated presses accumulate weights.
    • TARE: Press and release to zero the balance, removing the current weight from subsequent measurements. This is useful for containers.
    • OFF: Press and release to turn off. Also used during calibration.
  • Power Up Segment Test: Upon turning on, all display segments illuminate for approximately three seconds before resetting to zero, confirming display functionality.
  • Stable Reading Indication: A right-facing arrow on the display indicates the weighing mode. It disappears during weighing and reappears when a stable value is reached.
  • Audio Tone: A tone sounds when any of the four keys are pressed, confirming function registry. Overload and low battery also trigger audio tones.
  • Overload Indication: If the applied load exceeds capacity, "E" appears on the display with intermittent beeps. The load should be removed immediately.
  • Negative Value Display: Any tared value or a value left in memory will be displayed as a negative number once all weight is removed. Pressing tare returns to normal operation.
  • Auto Off: The balance automatically turns off after approximately four minutes of inactivity to conserve battery power. It will remain on during active loading/unloading of weights exceeding 0.1g.

Maintenance Features:

  • Battery Installation: Requires one 9V alkaline battery. The battery compartment is located on the bottom of the balance. Users should handle lead wires with care and remove the battery when the scale is not in extended use.
  • Calibration: Periodic calibration is recommended for optimal accuracy, especially for prolonged use. The procedure involves pressing and holding "CAL," placing a 200g calibration weight on the pan, and pressing "OFF." An "AL E" message indicates a calibration error, requiring the process to be repeated.
  • Environmental Considerations: The device should be operated within the specified temperature and humidity ranges. It should be kept clean and away from electrostatic fields, gravitational fields, dust, dirt, moisture, vibration, air currents, and other electronic equipment that could affect accuracy.
  • Handling: Items should be gently placed on the center of the weighing pan. Rough treatment can damage the internal sensor.
  • Warranty: The product comes with a twelve-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship, or fifteen months from the date of sale to an authorized distributor. Removal of the factory calibration seal on the right side of the unit will void the warranty. User calibration is performed through keypad operation and does not void the warranty. The warranty excludes damage due to accident, misuse, abuse, lightning strike, power surges, improper packaging for shipment, or unauthorized service/modification.
