Insert the sample (item to be
measured) into the container.
Open the glass door of the windbreak, place the
sample (item to be weighed) on the pan and shut
the glass door again.
5
When the display has stabilized,
(the stability mark) lights up,
read the display.
*
Shut the glass door fully.
Check that the glass door is fully shut before reading the balance display.
*
Avoid doing the following:
‹
Putting your hand inside the glass door of the windbreak
‹
Touching the container or sample with bare hands
‹
Weighing samples (items to be weighed) of different temperatures
The heat will lead to convection, and this may make the balance display unstable.
Use forceps or gloves to carry containers and samples.
When dealing with samples (items to be weighed) at different temperatures, eliminate the temperature
difference by leaving the samples around the pan inside the glass door before weighing.
