Fitting the dry batteries (1) Press down lightly on the part of the dry battery cover and pull it in the indicated direction to remove it. -
Page 13: Installation
3. Installation Power suppy The dry batteries are not included. In addition, the unit will operate NOTICE off the dry batteries if the AC adaptor is connected. Installation location Avoid the following conditions: CAUTION! Exposure to corrosive or flammable gases. NOTICE Exposure to dust, wind, vibrations, electromagnetic waves and magnetic fields. -
Page 14: Cautions And Notices
Observe the CAUTION! Use only the AC adaptor provided by the distributor authorized following: by Shimadzu if using an AC adaptor. NOTICE Make sure that any foreign objects, including water and metal pieces, do not enter the interior of the balance. - Page 15 Measurement (1) Place the container* on the center of the pan and press the [TARE] key. Check that the Center Zero mark illuminates. Load the sample and read the displayed value when the display stabilizes. To conduct accurate measurements, perform a preliminary loading* before conducting measurements.

Page 18: Menu Selection
7. Menu Selection Various functions, including selecting different measurement speeds and setting of the piece counting mode, are available on the ELB-series balance. Selection of these functions is referred to as “Menu Selection”. Procedure Press the [MODE] key. The currently set conditions are displayed in symbols. (Example) Auto Power Off function activated * Zero tracking activated *... - Page 19 - Set the internal stability detection width to “Large” (P-2) when external causes such as vibration hinder smooth output for Auto Printing, or when intending to reduce the time required for output. (Be acknowledged that measurement accuracy may be sacrificed.) - Activating Zero Tracking (d-on) will automatically cancel the minor fluctuation in the zero display.

Page 20: Registration Of Units
8. Registration of Units Three units can be registered in addition to “gram”. The registered units remain after the power has been turned off. Registered units can be selected by pressing the [UNIT] key. 8.1 Conditions for Registration Up to three units (including piece counting, % and specific gravity) can be registered in addition to “gram”. -
Page 21: Calibration
9. Calibration The ELB-series electronic balance measures the weight using the gravity of the earth. Since the acceleration due to gravity varies slightly from region to region, the sensitivity must be calibrated when the balance is installed. Perform sensitivity calibration also in the following cases: (1) when there was a large fluctuation in room temperature, (2) before conducting measurements requiring a high degree of accuracy, (3) when moving the balance from one place to another, and (4) as periodical maintenance once a month. -

- Press the [ON/OFF(BREAK)] key to abort calibration. “Abort” is displayed and then the balance reverts to the weight display. Aborting is not possible while “End” is being displayed. 10. Piece Counting The ELB-series balance is capable of counting the number of pieces of the sample by measuring the weight of a single piece of the sample. - Page 23 At the same time, the reference weight and the “PCS” unit are registered on the [UNIT] key. (Refer to “13. Switching Units”). CAUTION! The internal values of the balance are being revised while “SEt” is displayed. Do not turn off the power while “SEt” is displayed. - If the sample weight exceeds the capacity of the balance, or the weight of a piece of the sample is smaller than the...
