1.4. Good Weighing Practice
Module housing is made of aluminium and the weighing pan of stainless steel. It is
possible to use a non-standard weighing pan and adjust it to the holding fixture (see the
fixture dimensions in the figure below).
An example of weighing pan assembly for MAS and MAS 1 modules:
CAUTION: in order to avoid any problems, the used supplementary pan has to weigh
about 103g (standard weighing pan, delivered with the weighing module, is 103g).
An example of weighing pan assembly for the MPS module:
Due to the module high measuring accuracy, it is recommended to install it inside
customer's instrument (e.g. in a draft shield) in order to reduce the influence of ambient
conditions on the measurement result.
The module is not intended for dynamic weighing. Even if small amounts of sample are
added to or taken off the weighing pan, the mass readout should only be taken on
stabilization of measurement result (upon displaying stability pictogram). Do not place
magnetic materials on the weighing pan. This can damage the measuring system.
Be sure to avoid impact shock and overloading the weighing pan. Remember to include
the tare (e.g. mass of a container loaded onto the weighing pan). The module is not
designed to operate in hazardous areas.
