Balances from 4B/F series in basic version from lacquered steel, with SE- 01/A/18 meter, are designed for operation in foundation structures, in light environmental conditions. Balances from 4B/F series from stainless steel, with SE-01/A/18 meter, are designed for operation in foundation structures, in hard environmental conditions. All balances are tested in respect of metrology. According to order, balances may be verified or calibrated. EC verification (conformity assessment) of balances is required for special applications, mentioned in Ministry of Labour and Social Policy decree from 11.12.2003 (trade, tariffs, pharmacy recipes, medical and pharmaceutical analysis, packing of goods). For other applications it is recommended to replace verification with calibration. Verified balances have the following verification features: - protection stamps, located on balance meter and converters connection box (installed under the bearing surface). - Office of Measures marks and green metrological mark, located on the rating plate. EC verification is valid for 25 months from 1st of December of year, when the EC verification took place, under condition of stamp integrity. Balances classification (PKWiU code) 29.24.23.

This function allows comparing weighing result with two programmed reference values: lower and upper threshold. Comparison result is signalled with indicators (MIN, OK, MAX) and sound signal generated when threshold values are exceeded. If comparison result is: - smaller than lower threshold – the scale signals MIN (yellow colour), - between threshold values - the scale signals OK (green colour, with the short sound signal), - greater than upper threshold - the scale signals MAX (red colour, long sound signal). The checkweighing results can be use to control: - optical indicator (Indication mode), - batching devices (Batching mode). - Standard scale is set for cooperation with optical indicator. On outputs P1-P3 (Relays socket) short-circuit states appear as result of comparison scale indication with threshold values. On the chart below output states are shown during increasing load on the scale for both working modes: Indication mode: Batching mode: P3 P1 P2 P3 zero zero treshold treshold thr I thr I thr I thr II thr II thr II P1 P2 In Batching mode on P1 (thr I) and P2 (thr II) outputs short-circuit impulses appears for time of 0,5s. On P3 (zero) output short-circuit state appears when indication does not exceed threshold value signalling zero load.

Relays output is the open collector transoptor output with load capacity 25mA / 24V. Transmitter inputs must be protected with diodes, e.g. 1N4148.

1. General description Double-range scale’s have capability of work with greatest accuracy in bottom measuring range part. Weighing of smallest mass is more precise. This type of scale’s have two measurement range: - Max1 - 50 % of maximum load (mostly), - Max2 – 100% of maximum load, and adequate reads digit: d1 i d2 (d1 < d2). Double-range options causes change of scale’s operation: - after turn on (in small mass range 0- Max1) scale displays result with reading unit d1, - when the load pass the Max1 scale changes reading unit on d2; from this moment scale displays result with reading unit d2 on all measure range (0- Max2), return to unit d1 is succeed after zeroing the scale (→0← key), or when all mass is removed from pan (indicator "→0←"). 2. Double-range scale parameters Range and graduation values are represented on nominal table on the scale.
