1. INTRODUCTION 

 

This manual describes how this balance works and how to get the most out of it in 
terms of performance. 

 

The EK-AEP

 

series balances have the following features: 

 

 

The EK-AEP series are intrinsically safe electronic balances complying with 
international standards such as IECEx and ATEX or FM requirements. 

 

The EK-AEP

 

series balances can be used in areas where explosive atmospheres 

are present. (For details on the intrinsically safe structure, refer to “5. 
CONFORMING STANDARDS.”) 

  The EK-AEP series are high-resolution type electronic balances having a display 

resolution of 1/12,000 or 1/30,000. 

  The balance has a counting function, a percent function and a comparator 

function. 

  The LCD backlight will help with use in a dimly lighted place. 

  As a power source, four “AA”, “LR6” or “AM3” batteries are used. 

 
 

2. UNPACKING 

 

When unpacking, check whether all of the following items are included: 

 

Weighing pan

Instruction Manual                    Allen wrench (nominal 2.5 mm) 

 
 
 

 

Keep the packing material to be used for transporting the balance in the future. 

 

The weighing pan shape depends on the balance model. The operational procedure is 
the same for all the balance models. Unless specially required, the illustration of the 
rectangle-shaped weighing pan is used in this manual.
