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 auto matically
(AUTO ON/OFF). The default setting for automatic stable read-
ings 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 bal-
ance 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 calibration.
Span calibration resets the balance's weighing range using
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.
