3.4 LOCATING AND PROTECTING YOUR BALANCE

In order to keep your balance functioning at its best we suggest that you do the

following:

void extremes of temperature. Do not place in direct sunlight or near

air conditioning vents.

Make sure the balance

is located on a strong table and free from

vibration.

Avoid unstable power sources. Do not use near large users of electricity

such as wel

ding equipment or large motors. Do not let the balance

battery go flat –

if you are not using it for a long time you should charge

the battery up periodically to make sure the battery does not lose its

charge. When you turn off the scale by pressing [ON/OFF] key, the

power is not completely isolated. You should disconnect the power

supply if it is not going to be used for an extended period.

Keep free from vibration. Do not place near heavy or vibrating

machinery.

Avoid high humidity that might c

ause condensation. Keep away from

direct contact with water. Do not spray or immerse the balance in

water.

Protection Grade: IPX0

Do not place near open windows, air-

conditioning vents or fans that

may cause a draft and unstable readings.

Keep the balance clean. Do not stack material on the balance / balance

pan when it is not in use.

The Highland has a stacking feature for

stacking more than one unit on top of each other which does not apply

weight to the pan. For more details on this see the section on storing.

Avoid operating in high static areas, or weighing high static materials,

such as plastics or powders, as this may damage electronics and affect

measurements. Use grounding mats or

bonding straps to reduce

potential

3.5 STORING WHEN NOT IN USE

If you have any of the HighlandTM series or Core BalanceTM lines you can store them

easily on top of each other. To save space and protect them from damage.

Without Shield With Shield

Note: Only models equipped with a ø 4.7” / 120mm pan, can be stacked for storage.

Core (CQT) models with the larger ø 5.7” / 145mm may be stacked at the top of the

pile but other balances should NOT be stacked on top of them due to the larger pan

size.

4.0 BASIC OPERATION

4.1 TURNING ON THE BALANCE

Plug in the unit using the DC adapter or use the internal rechargeable battery. It is

recommended that you charge the battery for at least 8 hours before first use.

1) To turn on press the [on/off] key once and release. The balance will show the

capacity and the software revision, and then self-test before showing zero on

the display and the stable sign.

2) The balance is now ready to be used.

3) To turn the balance off after use, press the [on/off] key again. There is an

auto power-off function that will automatically turn the unit off if not used for

a period of time, this can be set in the parameters section.

If an error is shown while turning on the balance check that the pan is fitted

correctly and that there is no weight on the pan or the internal calibration weight

(not approved models) has not been left in the calibrate position. Move the lever all

the way to the left. Turn off the balance and turn it back on again.

4.2 ZEROING /TARE

You can press the [->0/T<-] key to set a new zero point and show the zero reading if

the weight reading is less than 4% of the total of the maximum capacity of the

balance (+/- 2% for approved models). This may be necessary if the weight reading is

not reading zero with nothing on the pan. The zero indicator will show up in the

upper left corner of the LCD.

If you are using a container to weigh then you can place this on the platform and

press the [->0/T<-] key. Providing the container weight is more than 4% of the

maximum capacity of the balance (+/- 2% for approved models), the digits will show

zero and NET will light up on the display. You can then weigh your sample in the

container. Taring weight subtracts from the total balance capacity.

Note: When the container is removed a negative value will be shown

equivalent to the total value of the amount tared (Except on

approved models). The balance will not tare a value for a container unless the

stability light indicates that the weight is stable thus ensuring a correct taring

function

4.3WEIGHING

To determine the weight of a sample, first tare an empty container (if used), then

place the sample in the container. The display will show the weight of the sample

and the unit of weight currently in use. The stable indicator will light when the

reading is stable.

4.4WEIGHING UNITS

To change the weighing units, press [Mode] to cycle through the options of units

that are enabled. See Parameters 6.1 Enabling Weighing Units, to enable or disable

the weighing units.
