5. START-UP
When plugged to mains, the balance displays program name and number, next it proceeds to the
weighing mode.
CAUTION! In accordance with the EN 45515 standard verified balances cannot display
mass value below -20e. If the indication value is below -20e, <Lo mass> information is
displayed. Press
key to zero the balance.
It is not recommended to run screensaver mode in balances with d=0.01 mg, this is due to the fact
that switching the backlight on/off causes temperature change which may affect the error of
repeatability. In the case of balances with d=0.01 mg it is advised to set the backlight parameter to
value <None>.
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.
