DESCRIPTIONDESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION

Ohaus School balances are manufactured from die cast aluminum, are rugged and

easytouse. Thebalancesareintendedforuseinprimaryandintermediateeducation

applications. They are easy to zero, produce quick readings due to their damping

mechanism, have four corned pans for easy pouring and are designed for specific

gravitymeasurements. Capacityofthebalanceis2000gramswitha readability of0.5

grams. Thebalancewillreproducepreciselyforyearsbecauseofhardenedsteelknife

edges and steel bearings. Model 1200-00 comes equipped with an eight piece mass

set and Model 1210-00 is supplied with a four piece mass set. Models 1210-00 and

1210-50utilizeabeamwithaslidingpoisewhichintroducesthemeasurementconcept

commonly found on more advanced weighing instruments. Use of the sliding poise

eliminates the need for small masses which are easily misplaced. Models 1200-50

and 1210-50 are not equipped with a mass set.

UNPACKING AND SET-UPUNPACKING AND SET-UP

UNPACKING AND SET-UP

Carefully remove the balance and pans from the carton. The corrugated shipping

inserts contain packages of push nuts and weights.

Place the balance on a reasonably flat and level surface with the color-coded,

removable pans on their matching platforms.

NOTE: If desired, the pans can be permanently attached to the platforms by means

ofthefour push nutsprovided,two for eachpan. Pressthem over diagonallyopposite

studs which will protrude from the bottoms of the pans through the holes in the

platforms.

ZEROING THE BALANCEZEROING THE BALANCE

ZEROING THE BALANCE

Before weighing and with no weight on the pans, the balance indicator should line up

with the center graduation on the recessed dial. If adjustment is necessary, rotate the

zero adjustment wheel located to the right of the dial, see Figure 2.

Your OHAUS School Balance will weigh objects up to its capacity of 2000 grams with

a readability of 0.5 gram.

The manual damping wire (see Figure 2) can be used to avoid excessive beam

To determine the specific gravity of solids less dense than water, it is necessary to

attach a sinker and then make the following weighings:

a. Weight of body in air

b. Combined weight of body in air plus sinker in water

c. Weight of both body and sinker in water

CARE AND MAINTENANCECARE AND MAINTENANCE

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

With reasonable care, your School Balance can be kept in good working order. Keep

it clean and do not drop it. Never apply oil or any lubricant to the pivots or bearings;

this will lower the accuracy of the balance.
