2. Setup

Proper setup is crucial for accurate measurements. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the balance and all accessories from the packaging. Retain the packaging for future transport or storage.
2. Placement: Place the balance on a stable, level surface free from vibrations, drafts, and direct sunlight. Ensure the surface is clean and dry.
3. Leveling: Use the adjustable feet at the bottom of the balance and the built-in bubble level (if present) to ensure the balance is perfectly level. Adjust the feet until the bubble is centered.
4. Power Connection: Connect the power adapter to the balance and then to a suitable power outlet.
5. Initial Power On: Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the balance. Allow a few minutes for the balance to warm up and stabilize before use.
6. Calibration: For optimal accuracy, perform an external calibration using the provided calibration weight before first use and periodically thereafter. Refer to the "Calibration" section in Operating Instructions for details.

3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Basic Weighing

1. Ensure the balance is level and stable.
2. Press ON/OFF to turn on the balance.
3. Wait for the display to show "0.000g".
4. Carefully place the item to be weighed on the center of the weighing pan.
5. Read the stable weight displayed on the screen.

3.2 Unit Conversion

The balance supports multiple weighing units. To change the unit:

• Press the FUNC button repeatedly to cycle through available units (e.g., g, ct, TAR, PKT, dr, GN, TMR, gsmozt, tlJ, lb, dwt, tlT, kg, pcs, tlH).
• Select the desired unit for your measurement.

3.3 Tare Function

The tare function allows you to subtract the weight of a container, so only the net weight of the contents is measured.

1. Place the empty container on the weighing pan.
2. Wait for the display to stabilize.
3. Press the TARE/CAL button. The display will reset to "0.000g".
4. Add the substance to be weighed into the container. The display will show only the weight of the substance.
5. To clear the tare, remove the container and its contents, then press TARE/CAL again.

3.4 Piece Counting (PCS) Function

This function is used to count a large number of identical items based on their average weight.

1. Ensure the balance is at "0.000g".
2. Press the PCS button. The display will show "PCS" and prompt for a sample quantity (e.g., "10 PCS").
3. Place a known quantity of items (e.g., 10 pieces) on the weighing pan as a sample.
4. Press PCS again to confirm the sample quantity. The balance will calculate the average weight per piece.
5. Remove the sample and then place the bulk quantity of items to be counted on the pan. The display will show the total number of pieces.
6. For accurate results, individual item weight variation should be within 5%, and the average weight per piece must be greater than the minimum readability.

3.5 Percentage Conversion (%) Function

This function allows you to measure the weight of a sample as a percentage of a reference sample.

1. Ensure the balance is at "0.000g".
2. Press the FUNC button until the display shows "%".
3. Place your reference sample on the weighing pan.
4. Press TARE/CAL to set this as 100%.
5. Remove the reference sample.
6. Place the sample you wish to measure as a percentage on the pan. The display will show its weight as a percentage of the reference sample.

3.6 Calibration

Calibration ensures the accuracy of your balance. It is recommended to calibrate the balance regularly or if it has been moved.

1. Ensure the balance is on a stable, level surface and the weighing pan is empty.
2. Press and hold the TARE/CAL button until "CAL" appears on the display, then release.
3. The display will show the required calibration weight (e.g., "500g").
4. Carefully place the specified calibration weight (500g) on the center of the weighing pan.
5. Wait for the balance to automatically calibrate. Once complete, the display will show "PASS" or return to "0.000g".
6. Remove the calibration weight. The balance is now calibrated and ready for use.

4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will prolong the life and accuracy of your balance.

• Cleaning:
  • Wipe the balance with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild detergent if necessary.
