5. START-UP 
When plugged to mains, the balance displays program name and number, next it proceeds to the 
weighing mode. 
 
5.1. TEMPERATURE STABILIZATION PERIOD 
Before start of measuring processes, it is necessary to wait until the balance reaches thermal 
stabilisation.  
For balances that were stored in much lower temperatures before plugging to mains (e.g. during 
winter period), thermal stabilisation period shall take at least 4 hours for PS balances, and 8 hours for 
AS balances. During the thermal stabilization, the indications on the display panel can change.  
It is recommended that ambient temperature changes at place of use were insignificant (slow to 
change).  
 
5.2. AMBIENT CONDITIONS STATE INDICATION 
The function is intended to inform on unstable ambient conditions for a balance, it is enabled only for 
AS R series balances.  
The function controls dynamic temperature changes occurring in the balance during its operation. If 
the variation is greater than set limit values (temperature changes speed), then a blinking 
thermometer pictogram is displayed on the screen.  
 
 
 
The blinking thermometer pictogram means that temperature inside the balance is not stable, this 
may result in inaccurate mass measurement. For such a case it is recommended to wait until the 
temperature stabilizes or to perform balance adjustment (blanking of the blinking thermometer 
pictogram). 
 
5.3. USER MENU 
Menu is divided into 9 basic function groups. Each group has an individual name starting with 
a capital letter, P.
