Analytical Balance

Operation Manual
Please read and adhere to all recommendations in this manual to ensure the best experience and to maintain your analytical
balance in good working order. This operation manual is for the following series: FA-C, FA-B, JA-C, JA-N.

Unpacking, Assembly and Storage

1. The analytical balance and accessories have been carefully packed to assure they reach you in the best possible condition.
Retain the packaging in case you need to transport, store or return the balance. If it becomes necessary to ship the balance for
any reason, pack it in the original packaging and then in another box, secured for transport. Inadequate shipping may result in
damage to yourbalance.

2. Unpack the box and take out the buffer sponge in the shield and install the weighing pan. Each analytical balance comes with
the following:
a. Power cord
b. Weighing pan
c. Analytical balance
3. Place the balance on a stable work bench in a location that is free from drafts that come from open windows or doors. Do not
place the balance in close proximity to a heater or direct sunlight.
4. Avoid exposing the balance to extreme vibrations during weighing.
5. Moisture in the air can condense on the surfaces of a cold balance whenever it is brought into a substantially warmer place. If
you transfer the balance to a warmer area, make sure to condition it for about 2 hours at room temperature, leaving it
unplugged fromAC power.
6. Level the balance any time you set it up in a new location. Use the back two feet of the balance for leveling. Turn the feet until
the air bubble is centered in the level indicator.

Operation

1. Check the level before using the balance. If the balance is not leveled, use the two back feet to adjust the balance until
the air bubble is centered in the level indicator.

2. After the balance is powered on, "30.00" appears on the display screen. It means 30 minute preheating countdown starts.
After the preheating, the balance automatically enters the weighing mode.

3. Calibrate the balance using the appropriate weight (step 6).

4. Place the object on the weighing pan and make sure the shield doors are completely closed.

5. When the balance stabilizes, stable mark appears on the screen. The displayed weight is the weight of the object.

6. Balance calibration.

6.1 Internal calibration for FA-C and JA-C series.

a. Remove all objects from the pan.
b. Press the TARE button to tare the pan.
c. Press the CAL button, the balance makes the internal calibration automatically.

6.2 External calibration for FA-B and JA-N series.

a. Remove all objects from the pan.

b. Press the TARE button to tare the pan.

c. Press the CAL button and hold until the desired calibration weight appears on the screen.

d. Place the correct weight on the pan when the calibration weight flashing. After several seconds, the weight of the
calibration weight will be displayed.
e. Remove the calibration weight from the balance, and the screen should display “0.0000 ” for FA-B and “0.000 ” for JA-N.

f. If the screen does not display “0.0000” or “0.000 ”, repeat the calibration steps a–e.

7. Hook weighing (Optional)

a. Loosen the small rounded screw at the bottom and uncover the hook.
b. Place the balance on the working table, adjust and calibrate it, and then you can weigh with objects hanging on the hook.
