1.0 INTRODUCTION ADK series offers high-quality and high-capacity precision balances that deliver accurate results. This manual covers models ADK-10 and ADK-20. This series of balances is the product of years of research, design, development and in-field testing. Every care has been taken during the manufacturing process of these durable balances to ensure that they will perform accurately and reliably for many years. The balances have under-hook for below weighing as an option. 2.
3.0 INSTALLATION 3.1 3.2 LOCATING THE BALANCE • The balances should not be placed in a location that will reduce the accuracy. • Avoid extremes of temperature. Do not place in direct sunlight or near air conditioning vents. • Avoid unsuitable tables. The table or floor must be rigid and not vibrate. • Avoid unstable power sources. Do not use near large users of electricity such as welding equipment or large motors. • Do not place near vibrating machinery.
3.3 3.4 SETTING UP THE BALANCE • The balance should be placed on a firm and stable surface. • The balance must be levelled. Level the balance by turning the adjustable feet until the bubble in the level indicator on the balance comes into the circle completely. • Place the pan support and the pan on the balance. • Plug in the power supply. SHIPPING PROTECTION This ADK balance has protection for the weighing mechanism that must be removed before the balance is used.
3.5 VOLTAGE SELECTION • This balance now includes a switch to select the mains voltage. Verify the switch is set to the correct voltage for your area. • The switch is located on the back panel under a small cover. Remove the cover on the rear of the balance. • Remove the cover by removing the small screws on the cover. Do not remove the screws on either side of the cover. • Select either 115V or 230V as required.
4.1 CALIBRATION • Calibration Mass required: • Press the [On/Off] switch in the rear of the balance to turn the balance on. • Display will show a self-check mode. • After about 5 seconds, zero will be displayed. • Warm up at least one hour before calibrating. • Make sure that nothing is on the pan. • Press [Tare] key to zero the display. • Display will show “ 0.0” - If the display is not zeroed, press the [Tare] key again. • Press the [Cal] key. • Display will show “CAL 0.
4.2 • Check if the calibration mass is wrong. Try calibrating the balance again using a correct calibration mass. • If it is still a problem then check if the value displayed is much more or less than the actual weight. If the difference is more than 2% of the calibration weight value, adjust the span potentiometer as shown below. • Remove the plastic plug on the right hand side of the balance. There is a hole through which you will find an adjustable potentiometer.
5.0 WEIGHING 5.1 5.2 SIMPLE WEIGHING • Make sure nothing is on the pan. • Place a sample on to the centre of the pan gently when "0.0g" is displayed. • Record the weight displayed when the stability indicator appears. • Remove the sample. • When a container is to be used, the weight can be tared. Place an empty container on to the pan. The weight of the container will be displayed. Use [Tare] to cancel the weight, “0.0g" will be displayed. • Place the sample to be weighed in to the container.
5.3 WEIGHING-OUT To remove a certain amount of material from a full container 5.4 • Place a container with sample in it onto the pan. The weight of all things on the pan will be displayed. • Press [Tare] to cancel the weight, "0.0g" will be displayed. • Take material out of the container. • The negative weight of the sample taken out will be shown. • Stop when the target is reached. DEVIATION WEIGHING. To measure the difference between a reference weight and an unknown weight 5.
• Under the balance you will find a cover with two screws on it. • Remove the cover by unscrewing the two screws, you will find a post for installing the underhook. • Fasten the underhook to the weighing mechanism. • Hang a wire through the hole • Place the balance on a table with a hole in it or on a stand specially designed for under-hook weighing, and let the wire hang through the hole. • Suspend a suitable container on the other end of the wire or attach the sample directly to the wire.
• Keep your balance clean and dry. • Don't use solvents to clean the balance. • Protect the internal parts from liquid spills and excessive dust. CLEANING • Unplug the power before cleaning. • Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents (solvents or similar agents). • Use a piece of wet cloth with mild detergent (soap) • Be careful that no liquid enters the balance housing. After cleaning, wipe down the balance with a piece of soft dry cloth. 7.
