2. BASIC INFORMATION
2.1. Intended use
Precision balance PS/X series is designed to determining the weighing value of loads
in laboratory environment. It is intended for application as a non-automatic weighing
instrument only, i.e. the material to be weighed should be manually and carefully
placed in the center of the weighing pan. Weighing result should be read only after
stable reading has been obtained – stability pictogram is visible on balance’s display.
2.2. Inappropriate use
Do not use the balance as a dynamic weighing instrument. Even if small quantities of
weighed material are added or removed from the weighing pan of the instrument, the
reading should be taken only after stabilization of the measurement result. Do not
place any magnetic materials on the weighing pan, as this can cause damage of the
measuring system of the instrument. Be sure to avoid impact shock and overloading
the balance in excess of the prescribed maximum measuring range (max capacity),
minus any possible tare weight that has been applied. Never use the balance in an
environment endangered by an explosion. This balance has not been adjusted for
operation in explosive areas. There must not be any modification made to the balance.
