Weighing made simple

3 Weighing made simple

This Section shows you how to perform simple weighings, how you can accelerate the weighing process and print out

the weighing result and transfer data.

3.1 Switching the balance on and off

Your balance is set in the factory so that it automatically switches to the weighing mode when you load a weight in the

standby mode.

OFF

To switch the balance on, press the «On/Off» key briefly. As soon as the normal

weight display appears, your balance is ready to weigh.

Note

In Section 4.14 you will learn how to perform a display test in which all segments

of the display light up briefly when you switch on the balance.

To switch the balance off, press the «On/Off» key and keep it pressed until the

message "OFF" appears in the display.

After it has been switched off, your balance is in the standby mode. If you wish

to perform a weighing, you need now only place the sample on the weighing pan

and the balance immediately displays the result. There is no need to switch it on

with the «On/Off» key (see also Section 4.14). (This function is inoperative with

certified balances.)

As your balance needs no warm-up time when in the standby mode and is

immediately ready for weighing, we advise you to switch the instrument off only

by use of the «On/Off» key and not to disconnect it from the power supply. This

also ensures that the balance is always in thermal equilibrium.
