SJX SERIES BALANCES EN-3
2.4 Connecting Power
AC Adapter Installation
AC power is used to power the scale when battery power is not needed. First, connect the AC
Adapter (supplied) to the AC Adapter Input Jack at the rear of the balance then connect the AC
plug to an electrical outlet.

Battery Installation
Install the four “AA” batteries with polarity as shown in the battery compartment.
Note:
After power on, it is recommended to let the balance warm for at least 5 minutes before using it.
2.5 Initial Calibration
When the Balance is first installed, and when it is moved to another location, it must be
calibrated to ensure accurate weighing results.
For SJX/E models, the balances must be calibrated by using the external calibration weights.
For SJX models, the balances have built in internal calibration system which can calibrate the
balance without the need for external calibration masses. Alternately, the SJX balances can be
manually calibrated with external masses.
Have the appropriate calibration masses available before beginning calibration. Refer to the
Calibration Section for masses and calibration procedure.
