3. Precautions

To get the optimum performance from the balance and acquire accurate weighing data, note the following:

3-1. Before Use

The maximum resolution of the precision balance is ten million counts. Therefore, there are tendencies to be influenced by temperature change, air pressure change, static electrisity, vibration and drafts where the balance is placed.

Install the balance in an environment where the temperature and humidity are not excessive. The best operating temperature is about 20°C / 68°F at about 50% relative humidity.

Install the balance where it is not exposed to direct sunlight and it is not affected by heaters or air conditioners.

Install the balance where it is free of dust.

Install the balance away from equipment that produces magnetic fields.

Install the balance in a stable place avoiding vibration and shock. Corners of rooms on the first floor are best, as they are less prone to vibration.

The weighing table should be solid and free from vibration, drafts and as level as possible.

Level the balance by adjusting the leveling feet and confirm it using the bubble spirit level.

If static electricity is a problem at the installation site, use the electrostatic field meter and the static eliminator.

Ensure a stable power source when using the AC adapter.

Connect the AC adapter and warm up the balance for at least 30 minutes. Calibrate the balance periodically for accurate weighing.

When the balance is installed for the first time or has been moved, warm up the balance for at least 6 hours to allow the balance to reach equilibrium with the ambient temperature, and then perform calibration before use.

The meaning of IP-65 is "No ingress of dust. Projected against water jets".

If a powerful water jet is used or the balance is immersed in water, it may cause a damage that is due to ingress of water.

Confirm that "the plug is inserted firmly into the jack" and "the terminal is covered using the waterproof cover or the waterproof RS-232C cable (GX-07K)", when using the balance.

Use the waterproof option cable GX-07K, when the RS-232C interface is used with IP-65. AX-KO1710-200, a standard RS-232C cable, is not waterproof or dustproof.

Confirm that the weighing pan does not touch to rim.

Do not install the balance where flammable or corrosive gas is present.

MC-10K, MC-30K specifications

The A&D MC-30K and MC-10K are highly regarded weighing scales that cater to diverse industrial and commercial applications. Renowned for their accuracy, durability, and advanced technological features, these models are ideal for users who require precision in measurement.

The MC-30K model offers a capacity of up to 30 kilograms, while the MC-10K is designed for loads of up to 10 kilograms. Both models are equipped with high-resolution load cells that provide outstanding accuracy and stability in measurements. The readability of 1 gram for the MC-10K and 5 grams for the MC-30K ensures that even the smallest variations in weight are captured effectively, making them suitable for activities ranging from laboratory analysis to quality control in manufacturing processes.

One of the standout features of these scales is their easy-to-read LCD display, which allows users to view measurements clearly, even in low-light conditions. The display is designed to provide quick and efficient readouts, minimizing wait times during the weighing process.

Both the MC-30K and MC-10K models incorporate advanced technology, including automatic calibration and tare functions, which enhance usability and accuracy. The automatic calibration feature ensures that the scales maintain their precision over time, while the tare function allows users to weigh items in containers without needing to account for the container's weight separately.

Durability is another major characteristic of these scales. Built with robust materials, they are designed to withstand the rigors of daily use in busy environments. Additionally, their compact design ensures that they occupy minimal space, making them suitable for various settings, including laboratories, warehouses, and retail outlets.

Convenience is amplified with the inclusion of RS-232 interface options for seamless connectivity to computers or printers, enabling easy data collection and reporting. The power-saving features of both models, including auto-off functionality, contribute to longer battery life, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

In summary, the A&D MC-30K and MC-10K scales are exceptional tools for anyone needing reliable and precise weighing solutions. With their advanced features, user-friendly design, and durable construction, they stand out as top choices for industrial and commercial weighing applications.
