Setting Print Modes
The Adventurer
TM
balance offers a choice of manually printing
only stable or all data (STBL ON/OFF) at any time by pressing
the Print button or printing stable readings automatically (AUTO
ON/OFF). The default setting for automatic stable readings is
OFF. Only one of these may be set on at a time.
Stable Data On or Off
When STBL ON is displayed, press Mode Off to select ON or
OFF, then press >O/T< , AUTO OFF is displayed.
Auto Print On or Off
With Auto Print ON, the balance automatically prints stable
data when the display changes by at least five counts. Press
Mode Off and select ON or OFF, then press >O/T<, END is
displayed. To save settings, press >O/T<. MENU END is dis-
played. Press >O/T< to return to weigh mode.
Parts Counting
To use Parts Counting, it must first be activated in the Menu.
Refer to Menu section to activate parts counting. The balance
will count parts based on the weight of a reference sample of 5,
10, 20, 50 or 100 parts. For optimum results, the parts should
be uniform in weight.
1. Place a container on the pan and press >O/T< to tare it.
2. With the balance ON, press and hold >O/T< until SEt PcS is
displayed, then release it. The display shows SEt XX, where
XX is the last used counting sample. To change the sample
size, repeatedly press Mode Off and stop at the desired
sample number. Choices are 5, 10, 20, 50 or 100 pieces.
3. Add the selected number of parts to the container, then press
>O/T<. The display shows the number of parts added.
4. Add parts as desired and read the quantity on the display.
5. To read the weight of the parts, press Mode Off to change to
any of the activated weighing units. You can return to parts
counting at any time by repeatedly pressing Mode Off until
the parts counting indicator is displayed. Sample weight is
retained as long as the balance remains plugged in or you
change it by the procedure above.
6. To exit to weighing mode, press Mode Off until desired unit is
displayed. Press >O/T< to tare the balance.
CALIBRATION
Adventurer
TM
balances are calibrated before shipment, how-
ever, calibration can be affected by changes in location, tem-
perature, or rough handling. Adventurer
TM
balances can be
calibrated in two ways: Span calibration or Linearity calibra-
tion. Span calibration resets the balance's weighing range us-
ing two weight values: zero and a weight value at or near the
balance's capacity. Linearity calibration minimizes deviation
between actual and displayed weights within the balance's
weighing range. Three weight values are used: zero, a weight
value within the balance's weighing range and a weight value
at or near the balance's specified capacity.
