CAUTION NOTES • put water, metal pin or any thing in the balance; Do not...... • open the balance case; • leave anything exceeding the weighing capacity on the pan; • expose the balance to anything magnetized; • connect anything other than the specified equipment to the connector on the rear side of the balance; and. • give a shock to the pan. 5. MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE Preparation Warm up the balance. for Weighing Making a (1) Press the POWER/BRK key.
6. MENU SELECTION This balance is designed to permit selection of the measuring conditions to compensate for vibration and other conditions present at the installation site. This feather permits greater weighing efficiency and accuracy, and is referred to as “Menu Selection”. Also in BL series, setting the balance to “ ” (standard measurement mode) makes a normal measurement and requires no other setting. The menu in the BL series consists of three classifications.
• If the measurement is done at severe measurement environment and the stability of the display is not so good, set the balance to “ ” (high-stability mode). • When the high-speed sample pouring mode is executed, or the small mount of sample pouring is done, set the balance to “ ” (sample mode).
6.1 Menu selection when “ ” is selected Pressing the TARE key when the “ ” is displayed at 1st hierarchy menu enters 2nd hierarchy menu. In this menu, ON/OFF of zero tracking, setting the stability detection band, registration/cancel of unit, ON/OFF of auto print, and ON/OFF of analog display are made. Key operation and each setting are made as follows.

7. SENSITIVITY CALIBRATION The electronic balance measures mass by electronicity compensating for terrestrial gravitation. Since gravitation varies slightly in different regions, span calibration (sensitivity calibration) is required when the balance is installed. Temperature also effects balance accuracy, and calibration must be performed whenever a significant change occurs.
(8) After the setting of weight value is completed, press the TARE key. (9) “ ” is displayed for several seconds and the balance returns to weight display. (10) When setting the weight value exceeding the specified range, “ ” is displayed and then the balance returns to weight display. The settable weight value is follows.
7.2 Sensitivity Calibration Perform the sensitivity calibration as follows. Step (1) Warm up the balance well. Refer to “3. WARM-UP”. (2) Check leveling. (3) Unload the sample on the pan and press the (4) TARE key to zero the display. Following the menu selection, press the CAL/MENU (5) Press the key to display “ TARE ”. key to start the sensitivity calibration. (6) The set weight value appears and blinks. (7) Make sure that the stability mark is lit.
8. REGISTRATION, CANCEL, AND CHANGE OF UNIT Step for registration (1) Press the CAL/MENU key and select the (Press the (2) key.) Press the CAL/MENU key and select the (Press the (3) TARE display. TARE display. key.) The registrable unit is displayed by every pressing the CAL/MENU key. The registerable units are three kinds which are selected from the following 14 kinds. g, kg, ct.
9. % SETTING This balance serves percent (%) display by setting the reference sample to 100%. Step (1) Register the % unit. (Refer to “8. Registration, cancel, and change of unit”. When % unit has been already registered, it is not necessary to register again. (2) Place the tare on the pan and press the TARE key. (3) Load the reference sample. (4) Continuously press the display “ (5) UNIT key to ”. After the stability mark is lit, press the TARE key.
10. PCS (No. of pieces) SETTING This balance can perform No. of pieces measurement (unit PCS). No. of standard pieces is 10 pcs, 20 pcs, 50 pcs, or 100 pcs. When the No. of pieces is increased, the accuracy is improved. Step (1) Register the PCS unit following the unit registration. (Refer to “8. Registration, cancel, and change of unit”. When PCS unit has been already registered, it is not necessary to register again. (2) Place the tare on the pan and press the TARE key.
11. PERFORMANCE CHECKS Conduct performance checks in a room where the temperature does not change suddenly. These checks are used to determine if the balance conforms to specifications, and should be performed with the greatest care. Preparation • Warm up the balance well. • Set the measurement condition as follows: • • • Repeatability (1) Load and unload 10 successive times, an weight which is near the capacity of the balance.
Eccentric error (1) Prepare a sample which weights approximately 1/4 of the balance capacity and move it on the pan in the order as shown right. Record the results of X1 to X5 in this order. (2) If the difference (eccentric error) between readings at the center position and the off center positions is as follows: BL320H (L), 3200H (L),：7counts BL H series: 4 counts BL S series: 2 counts 12.
13. TROUBLESHOOTING For countermeasures having an asterisk, contact the nearest Shimadzu sales or service center. When Before weighing During weighing What trouble • Nothing is displayed by connecting the AC adapter to the outlet. • is displayed. • is displayed. • • • • • • During PCS • or % setting During • sensitivity calibration • Cause -> Countermeasure The AC adapter is disconnected.
