Information on Weighing Electro statically Charged Samples
Problems with static electricity can occur in environments with low humidity. To
avoid these problems when you use your balance in such an area, wipe down the
entire draft shield on both the inside and outside with a commercially available
antistatic agent. In addition, the glass draft shield interior has a conductive coat-
ing.
There is a terminal (15) for connecting an equipotential grounding conductor to
the frame (housing) on the rear side of the balance. This is used for additionally
grounding a peripheral device connected to the balance (for example, a vibrating
spatula). The terminal is designed for single grounding wires up to .25" Standard
gauge or 6 mm
2
- and for .18" Standard gauge or 4 mm
2
stranded wires.
lf you need to use electro statically charged glass or plastic Containers with a rela-
tively large diameter, you should utilize our antistatic pan (155 mm – see "Acces-
sories" in "Part II: Product Data Sheet").
Levelling the Balance Using the Level Indicator
At the point of use, level the balance using the levelling feet (9) so t hat the air
bubble is centered within the circle of the level indicator (10).
To level the balance .using the level Indicator as a guide:
Extend the levelling feet (turn clockwise) to lift the balance.
Retract the feet (turn counter clockwise) to lower the balance.
