Using Your Balance

BASIC WEIGHING

To weigh a sample on your balance, use the following procedure:

1. Press the TARE key to zero the display.

2. Place the object(s) to be weighed on the pan.

3. Wait for the “ok” indicator, then read the weight from the display.

WEIGHING WITH A CONTAINER

To weigh objects or liquids without including the weight of the container,

use the following procedure:

1. Place the empty container on the pan. Press the TARE key, the scale will

display “–␣ –␣ –␣ –␣ –␣ –” and return to zero.

2. Wait for the “ok” indicator. Place or pour objects or liquids into the

container.

3. Wait for the “ok” indicator, the net weight will be displayed.

DUAL RANGE FEATURE (EL 410D & EL 4100D)

Each time the TARE key is pressed the display will present the higher of the

two possible weight resolutions (0.001g for the low capacity balance, and

0.01g for the high capacity balance). The dual range feature provides this

higher resolution up to 100 grams for the low capacity model, and up to

1000 grams for the high capacity model. Whenever these weights are ex-

ceeded, the balance will automatically reduce the resolution by one order

of magnitude. The higher resolution can be recovered by either removing

some weight, or by pressing the TARE key and resetting the display to zero.

Regardless of the weight on the pan the higher resolution can always be

displayed by pressing TARE. Pressing the TARE key does not increase the

capacity of the balance, thus the total weight on the pan must always be

equal to or less than the rated capacity.
