Using the Balance

User Manual for Secura, Quintix, Practum

Statistics (Secura

and Quintix

only; see page46)

Use this application to save weight and calculated values and statistically analyze

them. You can save up to 99 components.

Components (Secura

and Quintix

only; see page49)

Totalize weight values. You can save up to 99 components that are weighed in

various individual containers.

Each container can be tared before each component is weighed.

Density (see page52)

Use this application to determine the density of solid samples using a density set

based on the buoyancy method. The density is determined using Archimedes'

Principle. The upward buoyant force exerted on a body immersed in a fluid is equal

to the weight of the fluid the body displaces.

Percentage (see page56)

This application is used to determine the percentage share or the percentage

difference of the sample related to a reference weight.

Conversion (Secura

and Quintix

only; see page59)

Use this application to multiply the weight value by a user-defined factor.

The selected factor is saved to protected memory.

Unstable condition (see page61)

Use this application with moving samples (such as live animals) and for weighing in

unstable environments. A measurement cycle is automatically carried out with a

defined number of measurements for each object to be weighed. The individual

measurements are averaged, and this average is displayed as the result.

Checkweighing (see page63)

Use this application to check whether a weight value falls within the specified

tolerances. This application also makes it easy to fill sample materials to a specified

target weight.

Peak hold (see page65)

Use this application to calculate the maximum weight value of a sample (peak

value). The value remains on the display for five seconds after the sample has been

removed from the balance.

Example: Use for measuring release force during an experiment, or use when a load

is so big that the balance display is hidden from view during weighing.

Counting (see page67)

Use this application to determine the number of parts of approximately equal

weight. The weight of a counted reference sample is calculated and then the

objects with an unknown piece count are weighed. The balance displays the

number of parts and the piece weight.
