2.5 Connecting Power

2.5.1 AC Adapter

Connect the AC Adapter to the wall outlet. Connect the plug into the receptacle on the rear of the balance.

For use with CSA Certified (or equivalent approved) power source, which must have a limited circuit output.

2.5.2 Turning Power On and Off

Press the

On/Zero button to turn power on.

The balance performs a segment check. The balance then displays the last selected application
mode.

To turn power off, press and hold the

Off button until OFF is displayed, then release the button.

2.6 Initial Calibration

When the balance is first installed, and when it is moved to another location, it must be calibrated to ensure accurate weighing results. The
Discovery balance has built in Advanced AutoCal which can calibrate the balance automatically and does not require calibration masses. If
preferred, the balance can be manually calibrated with external masses. Have the appropriate calibration masses available before beginning
calibration. Refer to Section 3.7.2 for masses and calibration procedure.

IMPORTANT:

Balance should acclimate to its new surroundings for at least 8 hours. Balance electronics should be warmed up for 2
hours prior to use.
