Turning On the Balance
The Explorer Pro Balance is ready to operate after the the installation procedures are performed. When the balance is first turned on and it
completes its checks, and is calibrated, it can be used to weigh or tare materials without setting the menus. The balance is preset at the
factory to weigh in grams.
It is recommended that you read this manual carefully and set the balance to operate for your specific applications using the procedures in
Chapter 4 Setting up Your Balance and calibrate the balance before using.
LCD Display On/Off
To turn the balance LCD display ON, press the ON/OFF button (circled button with an I inside) located at the upper left-hand corner of the
panel once. To turn OFF, press button again.
Stabilization
Before initially using the balance, allow time for it to adjust to its new environment. The balance only requires to be plugged in to warm up.
Recommended warm up period is twenty (20) minutes. The internal circuits of the balance are powered when ever it is plugged into a power
source.
3.3
Calibration
Explorer Pro Balances offer a choice of five calibration methods: Automatic Calibration (AutoCalTM), Span Calibration, User Calibration,
Linearity Calibration, and Calibration Test.
• Span • Linearity -
• User • Calibration Test • AutoCalTM
Span calibration ensures that the balance reads correctly within specifications using two weight
values: zero and a weight value at 100% of the balance’s full capacity.
Linearity calibration minimizes deviation between actual and displayed weights within the balance’s
weighing range. Three weight values are used: zero, a weight value at midpoint of the balances
weighing range, and a weight value at or near the balance’s specified capacity.
User calibration is a method where the balance can be calibrated using a mass of known value by
entering that value into the balance.
Calibration test allows the stored calibration data to be tested against the current mass being
used for the test.
Automatic calibration (AutoCalTM) of the balance is accomplished by an internal mass.
Calibration Menu Protection
NOTES:
• Calibration may be locked out to prevent unauthorized personnel
from changing calibration. If calibration has been locked out,
you can only access Internal Weight Calibration and Calibration
Test.
• To lock out calibration menu, after calibration, refer to the section
titled Menu Lock-Out Protection.
• Linearity, Span and User calibration are disabled for Type
Approved/LFT balances.

Linearity Calibration
Linearity calibration utilizes three calibration points, one at zero, center span and full span. This method minimizes deviation
between actual and displayed weights within the balance's weighing range. Three weight values are used; zero, a weight value
at midpoint of the balance's weighing range and a weight value at or near the specified capacity.

Zero/Tare
When weighing material or objects that must be held in a
container, taring stores the container weight in the balance’s
memory, separate from the weight of the material in the
container.
• Press # with no load on the pan to set the balance
to zero.
• Place an empty container on the pan. Its weight is
displayed. (200 gram container is shown).
• Press # the display blanks until stable weight
readings are received, then indicates zero. The container’s
weight is stored in memory.
• Add material to the container. As material is added, its net
weight is displayed. (Example is 1620 grams).
• Removing the container and material from the platform will
cause the balance to display the container’s weight as a
negative number. The tared weight will remain in memory
until # is pressed again or the balance is turned
off.
• Pressing # resets the balance to zero.

Parts Counting
The Explorer Pro Balance can be set to either an Easy Count or Advanced Count parts counting method.
Easy Count setting enables a simplified method for counting parts. When selected, Easy Count displays a screen which requires
that the number of sample parts be entered. After this entry, putting a quantity of samples on the pan, the balance will display the
actual number of samples. Since the balance determines the quantity based on the average weight of a single part, all parts
must be reasonably uniform in weight.
Advanced Count setting contains a number of entry screens which include assigning a library name, filling and sorting applications
and statisical information which can be printed.

Advanced Count setting contains a number of entry screens which include assigning a library name, filling and sorting applications
and statisical information which can be printed. Refer to screen 4 below which contains the LIBRARY NAME - A name up to 10
characters can be entered and stored to identify the item to be counted.
A.P.W. - This average piece weight, when selected, either a sample size or actual piece weight can be entered.
TARE WEIGHT - This is the tare weight of the container holding the samples.
AUTO OPTIMIZATION - An ON or OFF function. When set ON, optimizes the accuracy based on sample size.
FUNCTION LINK - Various pop-up screens permit the entry of four options, NONE, FILLING, CHECK WEIGHING and STATISTIC.
When FILLING is selected, a target weight is entered which is shown as 100% on the bar graph on the display. When material
is added to the balance pan, it is displayed as a percentage and weight. When CHECK WEIGHING is selected, a separate popup display has entries for nominal pieces, over pieces, under pieces, display type, library name and save and exit. This type of
function permits checking of individual pieces against the stored information in the balance. When STATISTICS is selected,
provides display of Standard Deviation, population or sample, with Mean, Sum, High, Low and Difference readings available.
Each can be individually set ON or OFF.
SAVE TO LIBRARY - When selected, saves all settings to the library.

Differential Weighing
Differential weighing stores tare and weight values so a sample can be dried and the difference calculated at a later time. Up to
5 batches with up to 80 samples per batch can be stored. Samples can be added to the applications library. Batch and
individual samples can be accommodated. The features in the Explorer Pro Balance for differential weighing include:
RECALL - When selected, brings up previously stored library names associated with each sample.
LIBRARY NAME - A name up to 10 characters can be entered and stored to identify the sample item.
TARE WEIGHT - This is the tare weight of the container holding the samples, can be set to NO or YES.
AUTO TARE - Used when it is desired to automatically tare the storing container's weight, can be set to NO or YES.
AUTO SAMPLE DETECT - This feature is used for repetitive sample weighing, can be set NO or YES.
MODE - Can be set to INDIVIDUAL or BATCH.
FINAL RESULT - Can be set to show results in PERCENTAGE or WEIGHT.
SAMPLE NUMBERS - Desired number of samples can be entered.
SAVE TO LIBRARY - Permits all entries to be saved to the Library.
EXIT TO WEIGH - When selected, will exit to standard weighing mode.

Formulation
The Explorer Pro Balance can store between 200 minimum and 500 formulations limited only by the memory capacity of the
resident library. Each formulation can be named and have up to 10 components specified and identified by name. Once the
formulations are stored in the balance library, they may be recalled and used at any time. Each component of a given formulation can be specified as to its weight or percentage. The balance will display each element of a formulation on a dual bar graph
as a percentage and also displays the desired weight. Thus, each product may be placed on the pan until 100% is indicated.
Names are limited to 10 characters.

Statistics
Statistics is used when it is desired to compare a number of samples and examine the relative deviation of the samples along
with other statistical data such as mean, sum, maximum and minimum and difference. A minimum of three samples is required
in this program. Statistics contains a number of pop-up menus which include standard deviation, mean, sum, maximum,
minimum, difference, relative deviation, auto sample detect and sample size. All of these can be set ON or OFF except sample
size which can be set for a particular number. When a printer or computer is connected to the balance, all statistical information
can be observed and printed.

Density
Density determinations of solids and liquids can be made with the Explorer Pro Balance. The Explorer Pro Balance contains
built in reference density tables for water and ethanol at temperatures between 10 °C and 30 °C. It is not necessary to refer to any
external tables to calculate density.
3.14.1 Balance Preparation for Density Measurements
The Explorer Pro Balance is equipped with a weigh below hook which can be attached to the bottom of the balance. When
making density measurements, it is necessary to support the balance on both sides allowing enough clearance to for a beaker
to fit under the balance, a platform or laboratory jacks can be used. Remove the protective adhesive cap from the bottom of the
balance as shown in the figure below. Screw the weigh below hook into the bottom of the balance.

3.14.2 Solid Density Determinations
The density Q is the quotient of the mass m and the volume V.
Q=
m
V
Density determinations are performed by using Archimedes' principle. This princple states that every solid body immersed in a
fluid loses weight by an amount equal to that of the fluid it displaces.
The density of a solid is determined with the aid of a liquid whose density Q0 is known (water or ethanol are usually used as
auxiliary liquids). The solid is weighed in air (A) and then in the auxiliary liquid (B). The density Q can be calculated from the
two weighings as follows:
Q
A
• Q0
A-B
The balance allows direct determination of the buoyancy
P (P = A - B) and consequently the above formula can be simplified:
Q=

3.14.3 Improving the Accuracy of the Result of Solid Density Determinations
The following tips should help you improve the accuracy of the results in the density determination of solids.
Temperature
Solids are generally so insensitive to temperature fluctuations that the corresponding density changes are of no consequence.
However, as work is performed with an auxiliary liquid in the density determination of solids, their temperature must be taken
into account as the temperature has a greater effect with liquids and causes density changes in the order of magnitude 0.1 to
1% per °C. This effect is already apparent in the third decimal place of the result.
To obtain accurate results, we recommend that you always take the temperature of the auxiliary liquid into account of all density
determinations.
Air Buoyancy
1 cm3 air weighs approximately 1.2 mg (depending on the physical condition). As a consequence, in the weighing in air, each
solid experiences a buoyancy of this magnitude (the so-called "air buoyancy") per cm3 of its volume.
However, the air buoyancy must be taken into account only when a result is required with an accuracy of 3 to 4 decimal places.
To correct for this, the air buoyancy (0.0012 g per cm3 volume of the body) is added to the calculated result:
Calculated density + 0.0012 g/cm3 air buoyancy = effective density
Surface Tension of the Auxiliary Liquid
Adhesion of the liquid to the Weigh Below Hook causes an apparent weight increase of up 3 mg.
As the Weigh Below Hook is immersed in the auxiliary liquid in both weighings of the solid (in air and in the auxiliary liquid) and
the balance is tared before every measurement, the influence of the apparent weight increase can be neglected.
To reduce the effect of air bubbles and to ensure the greatest possible accuracy, use a few drops of a wetting agent (not
supplied) and add them to the auxiliary liquid.
3.14.4 Liquid Density Determinations
The density of a liquid can be made using either a sinker of known volume or a Pycnometer. When using the sinker, the sinker
is weighed in air and then in the liquid whose density is to be determined. The density Q can be determined from the two
weighings as follows:
Q= A-B
V
Q = Density of the liquid
A = Weight of the sinker in air
B = Weight of the sinker in liquid
V = Volume of the sinker
P = Buoyancy of the sinker in the liquid ( P= A-B )
When the Pycnometer is used, it is filled with a known volume of a liquid. The density is arrived at as follows:
Density =
Weight of full pycnometer - Weight of pycnometer
Volume of pycnometer
+ {
Air
}
density
NOTE: pycnometer may be obtained at laboratory supply firms.
• Follow the same procedure for solid density determination except select LIQUID under the Select material display. The
balance is prepared in the same manner.

Library
The Explorer Pro Balance can store approximately 200 names in the library. Six functions in the balance have provisions for
storing a library name, they are: Advanced Counting, Check Weighing, Differential Weighing, Formulation, Density and SQC.
When a library name is selected, the associated function is also displayed along with the percentage of memory used for the
entry. A Library menu is provided which allows the selected library name and function to be run or deleted. If you have accessed
the library and do not want to run or delete a name an exit to weighing selection can be made which does not affect the library.

Setup GLP (Good Laboratory Practices) menu allows the
selection of Time & Date, Balance Identification Number, Project
Name, User Name and Calibration data to be printed. The purpose of this menu is to permit the printing of the above selected items. These items are not displayed. The default setting is
off. When an external printer is used, and all items are set ON
and the balance is calibrated, the printer will print out calibration data for audit trail purposes and will indicate date, and
time. Since there are many displays used in this procedure,
not all are shown.

RS232 Interface
Explorer Pro Balances are equipped with a bi-directional RS232
compatible interface for communication with printers and
computers. When the balance is connected directly to a printer,
displayed data can be output at any time by simply pressing
PRINT.
RS232 Connector
Connecting the balance to a computer enables you to operate
the balance from the computer, as well as receive data such
as displayed weight, weighing mode, stability status, etc.
The following sections describe the hardware and software
provided with the balance
Left Side of of Balance
Hardware
On the left side of the balance, the center, 9-pin male subminiature “D” connector is provided for interfacing to other devices.
The pinout and pin connections are shown in the adjacent
illustration.
The balance will not output any data unless pin 5 (CTS) is
held in an ON state (+3 to +15 V dc). Interfaces not utilizing
the CTS handshake may tie pin 5 to pin 6 to defeat it.
RS232 Commands
All communication is accomplished using standard ASCII
format. Only the characters shown in the following table are
acknowledged by the balance. Invalid command response "ES"
error indicates the balance has not regonized the command.
Commands sent to the balance must be terminated with a carriage return (CR) or carriage return-line line feed (CRLF). For
example, a tare command should appear as shown in the
adjacent diagram. Data output by the balance is always terminated with a carriage return - line feed (CRLF).
Output Formats
Data output can be initiated in one of three ways: 1) By pressing
PRINT; 2) Using the Auto Print feature; 3) Sending a print command (“P”) from a computer.
The output format is illustrated in the RS232 command table
which follows.
