4.1. Leveling
A User Problem
- User has to check the balance on regular
basis to see if it is correctly leveled.
This could be several times a day or built
into SOP.
- User cannot see without technical help
if balance is leveled properly. A usual
business card, thickness 0.25 mm or
1/100 inch under one level foot, results
in a 20 digit fault with an analytical -
4 digit balance. But the balance still
look well leveled.
Leveling bubble is not easy to "read"
- because balance is under some kind
of fume hood (See picture) or...
- Leveling bubble is located at the back
of the instrument -almost hidden and
hinders visibility.
- other reasons hindering user to
check without problems (User not tall
enough).
- Sometimes only a mirror helps to check
level bubble.
If not properly leveled it needs some
experience to level the balance properly.
Users are very often confused by which
level feet to turn in which direction.
Very often it is difficult or inconvenient
to reach the leveling feet on the balance
and see a hidden leveling bubble simulta-
neously. This is especially true in a lami-
nar flow hood environment or on a
crowded lab bench full of lab equipment.
fe Sartorius Solution
Secura is the first and only laboratory
balance in this market segment which
has LevelControl. It constantly monitors
the leveling of the Secura itself, gives
clear message to the user and gives direct
interactive support in the display to level
the balance properly.
Competitor Information
Ohaus Explorer has only one static
screen, called "Level Assist". While Secura
LevelControl gives interactive support,
Ohaus Explorer Level Assist shows only
a static (confusing) picture with different
positions of the level bubble and
four adjustable feet. Definitely not
comparable and on a lower level!
