Introduction

Thank you for purchasing A&D’s electronic balance.
Please read this instruction manual carefully to understand and make full use of the BA-T series
analytical electronic balance.
CautionOperations may differ depending on the software version of your balance.
For confirmation of the software version of the balance, refer to “13.26. Software version”.

Features
A 5-inch touch screen is adopted for easy operation.
Intuitive operation is provided through the touch screen.
Equipped with the breeze break auto doors that can be opened and closed without touching them.
The removable breeze break makes it easy to clean the inside of the weighing chamber.
A self check function is included for automatically evaluating repeatability performance without a weight.
The BA-T series can automatically perform sensitivity adjustment with the internal weight. (Automatic
sensitivity adjustment)(Temperature change, set time, fixed time interval [interval time])
When performing the sensitivity adjustment/calibration test, etc. for the balance, the output
corresponding to GLP/GMP, etc. can be output.
Using a printer (sold separately), it is possible to record the sensitivity adjustment/calibration test
results.
GLP : Good Laboratory Practice. Standards for implementing safety tests for drugs and medicines.
GMP : Good Manufacturing Practice. Rules for manufacturing and quality control.
The clock built into the balance allows you to output the weighing value with the date and time.
(The clock settings can be restricted so that only the Administrator can change them. [Password
function])
The BA-T series comes standard with the underhook for weighing magnetic materials.
Six different applications are available.
Normal weighing, counting mode, percent weighing, minimum weight alert function, formulation mode,and HPLC mode.
BA-6DTE, BA-225DTE and BA-125DTE have the smart range function as standard. This function allows
for weighing with the precision range after subtracting the tare within the weighing capacity.
The readability of precision range for BA-6DTE is 1 μg.
The readability of precision range for BA-225DTE and BA-125DTE is 10 μg.
With the password function, the sensitivity adjustment of the balance and the operation of changing thefunction table can be restricted.
An RS-232C interface, USB interface, Ethernet and Bluetooth for outputting the weighing value anddata of the balance are equipped as standard.
It is possible to communicate with a Windows personal computer that has data communication software
WinCT or WinCT-Plus installed. The software can be downloaded from our website( https://www.aandd.jp ).
The BA-T series is equipped with a DC type ionizer (static eliminator) that does not generate wind, andeliminates static electricity from charged objects before weighing in order to reduce errors due to static
electricity. The discharge electrode unit of the ionizer can be removed and can be cleaned and replacedby itself.

Installation considerations, preparation and precautions
Prepare the following installation conditions in order to bring out the full performance of the balance.
Note that the installation environment needs to be taken into consideration for the highly sensitive BA6TE / BA-6DTE.
Install the balance in an environment where the temperature and relative humidity are not excessive.
The best operating temperature is about 20 °C ±2 °C at about 45% to 60% relative humidity.
Install the balance where it is free of dust.
The weighing table should be solid. (An anti-vibration table or stone table is ideal)
We recommend using an anti-vibration table (AD-1671) for BA-6TE.
It is advisable to install the display unit in a location other than on the anti-vibration table so that errors
due to tilt that occurs when operating the switches of the balance on the anti-vibration table can be
avoided.
Place the balance on a horizontal table, and make sure that it is not tilted.
Install the balance in a stable location, avoiding vibration and shock. Corners of rooms on the first floor
are best, as they are less prone to vibration.
Install the balance where it is not affected by heaters or air conditioners. Avoid breezes and drafts in theroom.
You can reduce the influence of breezes and drafts by using an AD-1672/AD-1672A (large size) or AD1676 (medium size) tabletop breeze break.
Install the balance where it is not exposed to direct sunlight.
Install the balance away from equipment which produces magnetic fields.
Level the weighing unit with the leveling feet and bubble spirit level. Refer to “2.3.1. How to adjust thelevel of the balance”.

15

Be sure to warm up the balance before use for at least an hour, or at least four hours for BA-6TE/BA6DTE, with the AC adapter connected to the power supply.
Adjust the sensitivity of the balance before using it for the first time or after having moved it to anotherlocation so that accurate weighing can be performed. For how to adjust sensitivity, refer to“10. [Sensitivity Adjustment] Screen”.
Do not install the balance where flammable or corrosive gas is present.

16Precautions during use for more accurate weighing
For precise and accurate weighing, please take notice of thefollowing.
Weighing errors may occur due to the influence of static
electricity. Note that if the ambient humidity drops below 45% RH

Metal case
Charged sample

insulators such as plastics are liable to have static electricity.
Ground the balance and perform the following as needed.
A DC type ionizer that produces no currents of air is available for
the BA-T series balances. Refer to “24. Ionizer” and remove
static electricity from the charged sample directly.
Increase the relative humidity at the place where theGroundIonizerMagnetic material

Underhookweighingbalance is installed.
Weigh the sample in a conductive metal container or thelike.
Wipe off charged materials such as plastic with a damp
cloth to suppress static electricity.
Influence of magnetism may cause weighing errors.
When measuring magnetic materials (iron, etc.), keep thesample away from the balance main body by means such as
underhook weighing.
Place the sample in the center of the weighing pan.
Weighing errors may occur if there is a difference between theRoomtemperature 20 °C

Convection

ambient temperature and temperature of the sample (and thecontainer). For example, when the room temperature is 20 °C,

40 °C

convection occurs around a Petri dish or watch glass that is
40 °C and the balance displays a value lighter than the actual
weight. Before weighing the sample and the container, try toacclimatize them to the ambient temperature.

No impact shock

Perform the weighing operation carefully and quickly.
If measurement takes a long time, error-inducing factors will
increase due to changes in temperature and humidity in theweighing chamber, air turbulence or reaction/humidity absorption
by the sample.
Do not leave the sample on the weighing pan for an extended
period of time. If a sample is left on the weighing pan for a longtime, the measured value will change due to deviation from the

Good

Bad

zero point caused by environmental changes or due to creep
phenomenon.
When placing a sample on the weighing pan, do not drop it, or do not place a sample greater than thebalance weighing capacity. In addition, place the sample in the center of the pan.
With the highly sensitive BA-6TE, the weighing value may fluctuate after the stabilization indicator lights
up. It is advisable to set a certain reading time (10 seconds, etc.) after the stabilization indicator lights
up and read the value.
17

For weighing where impurities will be a problem, it is advisable to prepare samples outside theweighing chamber in order to prevent the substance from scattering inside the weighing chamber.
When pressing the touch screen or keys, do not press with a sharp object such as a pen. Instead,press the center of the key with your finger.
Be sure to press the RE-ZERO button

before weighing in order to eliminate measurement

errors.
Measurement results include error from air buoyancy. The buoyancy of air varies depending on thesample volume, atmospheric pressure, temperature, and humidity. Correct the buoyancy for the mostprecise measurement.
Prevent foreign substances such as powder, liquid, and metal pieces from entering the balance.

Precautions after use
Avoid mechanical shock to the balance.
Do not disassemble the balance.
Do not use any strong organic solvents to clean the balance. Clean the balance with a lint free cloth thatis moistened with a mild detergent.
Prevent foreign substances such as powder, liquid and metal pieces from entering the balance.

Caution on the power supply
Be sure to warm up the balance before use for at least an hour, or at least four hours for BA-6TE/BA6DTE, with the AC adapter connected to the power supply.
The balance is constantly provided with power as long as the AC adapter is connected.
The balance is not adversely affected in this state.
It is advisable to always keep the balance in this state for accurate weighing.
Be sure to keep the BA-6TE/BA-6DTE always in a state where power is being supplied.

Zero-point, tare, and weighing range
Entering the weighing mode
The balance will determine the reference zero point when the ON:OFF key

is pressed to enter theweighing mode.
Depending on the load condition at that time, the balance automatically judges whether to set the zeropoint or to tare.
The condition for determining which is used is the "power-on zero range", and when the power-on zerorange is exceeded, the tare operation is performed.

Re-zero operation
By pressing the RE-ZERO button, the displayed value can be set to zero.

The re-zero operation with the RE-ZERO button

will automatically judge whether to set the zero-

point or to tare.

Weighing range
The weight range that the balance can display varies depending on the model. When the gross weightweighed exceeds the maximum display, E is displayed to indicate that the weighing range is
exceeded. When exceeded in the negative direction, –E is displayed.

You can also change the unit weight.

Counting mode usage
This is the mode to determine the number of objects in a sample. Based on the reference sample unit
weight (weight per piece), the balance calculates and displays how many pieces the sample weightcorresponds to. The smaller the variation in the unit weight of sample pieces is, the more accurate thecount will be. The balance is equipped with the Automatic Counting Accuracy Improvement (ACAI)
function to improve the counting accuracy.
*

It is recommended that the unit weight (weight per piece) of the sample should be 0.1 mg or more.

*

If there is a large variation in the unit weight of sample pieces, it may not be possible to countaccurately.

*

If a large error is found in the counting measurement, try a method such as performing ACAI frequently
or multiple measurements.

The ACAI function automatically improves the counting accuracy each time the number of sample
pieces is increased.
Errors will be reduced as variations in sample weight are averaged.
Step 1. After storing the unit weight through the input by weighing
samples and adding some sample pieces in the Counting mode
screen, “Now performing ACAI” (updating the counting
precision) is displayed.
Caution on how to add sample pieces
Add three or more sample pieces to prevent malfunction.
The function does not turn on with too many sample pieces on
the weighing pan. Add approximately the same number ofsample pieces as displayed.
Step 2. While “Now performing ACAI” (updating the counting precision) is displayed, do not move sample
pieces.
Step 3. “ACAI has been performed” is displayed and the precision is updated.
Each time this process is repeated, the counting accuracy will improve further.
The range of ACAI after exceeding 100 is not predetermined. Add approximately the same number ofsample pieces as displayed.
Step 4. Remove all the sample pieces used with ACAI from the weighing pan and start counting work.
ACAI does not function if the displayed value is set to zero, for example, by pressing the RE-ZERObutton.

If the unit weight is stored through the unit weight input field, the ACAI function is not activated.

Minimum weight alert function usage
Minimum weight is the minimum sample weight required to perform correct quantitative analysis taking
the measurement error of the balance used into account. If the sample amount is too small, theproportion of measurement error in the measured value increases, and the reliability of the analysis
result thus may drop.
The minimum weight alert function makes it possible to judge immediately whether the sample amountmeets the set minimum weight.

This mode processes weighing values statistically and displays/outputs the result.
Calculation items available for display/output include the number of data, sum, maximum, minimum,
range (Max-Min), mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation and relative error. You can selectthese output data in four steps on the [Statistical calculation setting] screen.
You can delete incorrectly input data from the [Statistical calculation results] screen.
Statistical results are initialized if the statistical calculation function is disabled or the power is turned off.
The standard deviation, coefficient of variation and relative error are calculated with the following
formulas.
Standard deviation ＝Coefficient of variation (CV) ＝

N･Σ(Xi)2 - (ΣXi)2

Where Xi is the ith weighing value andN･(N - 1)

N is the number of data.

Impact shock detection (ISD) function
This function detects impact shocks to the mass sensor section, displays the impact level, and records
it. (Available with display unit software versions 1.010 or later)
By lowering the impact level at the time of loading, it is possible not only to alleviate variation in theweighing value but also to reduce the risk of failure of the mass sensor section. Especially whenincorporating the balance in a production line, etc. and weighing by means such as an automatedsystem, impact greater than expected may be applied to the sensor. When designing automatic
systems and the like, it is recommended that you minimize the impact level as much as possible while
checking the shock indicator.
Impacts of impact level 3 or higher are stored on the balance with date and time.
For details, refer to “13.31. Impact shock detection history”. Impact shock detection history”.
You can hide the impact level by turning off the Warning display button.
If the impact level is level 3 or higher, the record will be kept automatically even if the impact level ishidden.
Caution
Impact on the weighing sensor is not only that applied to the weighing pan when loaded, butalso may be impact applied from the table on which the balance is installed. The impact
detection function also works for impact coming from the table.
The shock indicator has 5 levels from level 0 to level 4.

Since the balance's resolution is high, weighing values may change due to gravity and daily
environmental changes. It is necessary to perform sensitivity adjustment with the weight in order to keep
the weighing values from changing even if gravity or the environment changes.
It is recommended that you perform sensitivity adjustment if the balance is installed for the first time or
relocated, or when the weighing values change significantly in daily check, etc.
Sensitivity adjustment means to adjust the weighing value of the balance using the reference weight orinternal weight.
Caution on sensitivity adjustment
Do not allow vibration, drafts or temperature changes to affect the balance especially during
sensitivity adjustment.
The GLP/GMP (etc.) compliant report can be output in sensitivity adjustment. A computer or
optional printer is required for GLP output. A timestamp (clock and calendar) is available for the
GLP output using the clock function of the balance.
You can set the clock function from the [Date/time setting] screen.

AND-MEET Measurement Environment Evaluation Tool
High-sensitivity analytical balances detect minute environmental changes that users cannot detect. This
causes the measurement value to be unstable. This is especially so with the BA-6TE/6DTE, a
microbalance with a minimum display of 1μg or a semi-microbalance of a minimum display of 10μg.
Using these balances, the specified repeatability may not be obtained in many cases, depending on theenvironment where the balances are installed. Users may feel uneasy when it happens. However, it is
not necessarily resolved even if they ask the balance manufacturers for help.
AND-MEET constantly monitors the installation environment of the balance while simultaneously
loading and unloading the internal weight of the balance automatically over 24 hours. AND-MEET
evaluates temperature changes and the corresponding repeatability of measurement data over time.
The span value is calculated by subtracting the zero point value from the value obtained when theinternal weight is loaded on the balance. Then, the standard deviation of the ten consecutive spanvalues is calculated to obtain the repeatability. The result is presented as a graph for visualization.
Time is plotted on the X-axis of the graph. Changes in the zero point, span value, repeatability andtemperature are plotted on the Y-axis. Through the graph, interaction between each item (changes inthe zero point, span value or repeatability) and environmental changes (time and temperature) can beevaluated.

AND-MEET graph: points to check and measures to take
A zero point drift occurs due to changes in the balance internal temperature caused by turning thepower on. Warm up the balance until the balance reaches equilibrium with room temperature.
Changes in temperature in a day are great:
Use an air conditioner to avoid changes in temperature.
Sudden temperature changes occur:
If the causes of the temperature change such as a heat generating device are known, eliminate thecauses.
124

The temperature fine fluctuation occurs:
The air from the air conditioner may be blown directly to the balance. Use a breeze break or change thebalance installation site to avoid the direct airflow to the balance from the air conditioner.
The repeatability is bad even if changes in temperature are small:
The air from the air conditioner may be strong. Use a breeze break to avoid the direct airflow to thebalance from the air conditioner. Sources of vibration may exist near the balance.
The repeatability during the day is bad while the repeatability at midnight is good:
Human activities such as opening or closing the door, passing near the balance may influence thebalance. Take appropriate measures to avoid passing near the balance while the balance is in use.
Temporal poor repeatability:
Impact may have been applied to the balance or table on which the balance is installed. Or an
earthquake may have occurred.
Others:Sudden changes in barometric pressure due to typhoon or building vibrations due to strong winds will
influence the balance.

Environment to install a microbalance
Location
The best location is the first floor of the rigid building built on solid ground. Locations along the coast or
main roads may be influenced by winds and vibrations.
Room
Corners of the rooms or areas near a pillar, far from the passage, door or air conditioner outlet andwhere there is no direct sunlight. A weighing table should be solid and made of stone or wood having
low heat conductivity.
Temperature / barometric pressure / static electricity
Changes in temperature in a day: within 4 °C
Changes in temperature in a short time: within 0.2 °C/30 minutes
Changes in barometric pressure in a day: within 10 hPa
Static electricity: Active elimination is required especially for the balance with a minimum display of
1 mg or less which is more prone to static electricity.

Response characteristics
FAST

The display shows an acute response to weight variation. Reduce the setting value whenweighing powder or liquid, weighing extremely lightweight samples, or prioritizing theoperating efficiency over the stability of the weighing value.

SLOW

The display shows a gradual response to weight variation. Increase the setting value when
the weighing value does not get stabilized depending on the usage environment.

Stability bandwidth
The setting to determine that the weighing value is stable. It shows the stabilization indicator when thefluctuation range in a certain time of period gets lower than the setting value, and outputs the weighing
value based on the internal settings. This setting affects the automatic printing.
The minimum display to be shown is 1 d.
(Example) If No blank is selected with BA-6TE and 0.000001-g display is chosen, 0.000001 g isshown as 1 d.
±1d

The stabilization indicator does not appear unless the weighing value is stable enough, andit disappears when the weighing values changes even slightly. Reduce the setting value for
precise weighing.

±3d

The display does not easily respond to a slight weight variation. Increase the setting value
when the weighing value does not get stabilized depending on the usage environment.

Zero tracking
The function to automatically track the zero point and keep the zero display when the display shows
zero and the zero point slightly fluctuates depending on usage environment. A tracking level can beselected from 3 levels. Increase the setting value if zero is not stabilized. Do not perform zero tracking
when the weighing value is slightly over d. d is the minimum unit of the display.

When [AK (acknowledge), error code] is set to ON in the function table, the balance responds asfollows.
When a command requesting data is sent to the balance:
If the balance cannot send the requested data, it sends an error code (EC,Exx).
If the balance can output the requested data, it sends the requested data.
When a command controlling the balance is sent to the balance:
If the balance cannot execute the command, it sends an error code (EC, Exx).
If the balance can execute the command, it sends the AK code (acknowledgment, ASCII 06h).

When performing GLP output with touch panel software version 1.023 or later, set [GLP output/Labeloutput] to [GLP output].

Main objectives
The GLP/GMP compliant data can be output to a personal computer or optional printer.
The GLP/GMP compliant report includes the balance manufacturer (A&D), model name, serial number,
ID number, date, time, and space for a signature. For a sensitivity adjustment or calibration test, theresult and the weight used are also included.
The balance can output the following GLP/GMP compliant reports via the connected external output.
Sensitivity adjustment report (Output for sensitivity adjustment using the internal weight, automatic
sensitivity adjustment, sensitivity adjustment using the external weight)
Calibration test report (Output for calibration test using an internal weight or external weight)
Breaks (“title block" and "end block") for easy management of a series of weighing data

Outputting external device clock data (clock to be used: external device clock)
By setting an external device clock for the clock to be used for outputting GLP/GMP data, you can use
the clock data from an external device such as a personal computer or printer for the balance instead of
the internal clock data. This setting is used to unify the clock data with the clock function of the external
device.
CautionThe clock data output from an external device can be used with a device that has a clockfunction and that can output the date and time in response to <ESC>D, <ESC>T. (AD-8127 multifunctional compact printer, RsCom [WinCT] data communication software, etc.)

The built-in underhook is used for underhook weighing such as measurement of magnetic materials andthe like.
To use the underhook, open the cap on the bottom of the balance.
Caution
Do not apply excessive force to the underhook part.
Do not open the cap unless necessary. (For protection from dust)
The underhook can be used only in the hanging direction (pulling direction).
If the balance is tilted greatly, attached parts such as the weighing pan will come off. Remove
them before work.
Keep in mind that draft enters the balance easily when the underhook cap is removed, affecting
the weighing values.

Usage
Step 1. Remove the bottom cover of the balance.
The underhook can be seen.
Step 2. Hang the weighing pan from the underhookby using a line.
Step 3. Place the balance on a sturdy table with ahole.

USB flash drive (USB host)In the BA-T series, you can connect a USB flash drive to the USB type A connector.
You can save weighing data, etc. in the USB flash drive and import the data into Windows or macOS
computers easily. (No driver is required)
The balance weighing data, etc. are saved on the USB flash drive in the CSV format. You can save theresults of check functions as a PDF file. Change the USB data format as required.
A file called BA-T

.csv is generated under the root directory of the USB flash drive

and the weighing data is saved there, when the weighing data is output with a print button, etc. Copy
this file to your computer for managing data, etc.

As long as the home screen (weighing screen) is shown, the new data is appended to the next line ofthe old data. (A new file is not generated.)Once other screen is shown, a new file is generated and the data is added.

AK code and error codes
When [AK (acknowledge), error code] is set to ON in the [Command settings] screen described in“13.11. Command settings”, the balance always responds to reception of all commands sent from apersonal computer or a PLC. Checking the code that is responded improves the reliability of thecommunication.

Balance response
When [AK (acknowledge), error code] is set to ON, the balance responds as follows.
When the balance receives a command requesting data:
If the balance can output the data, it sends the requested data.
If the balance cannot output the data, it sends an error code (EC,Exx).
When the balance receives a control command:
The balance will send an AK code (acknowledgment, ASCII 06h) upon confirmation of receipt of thecommand and completion of the process.
If the balance cannot execute the command, it sends an error code (EC, Exx).
The following control commands are handled by the balance, which sends an AK code(acknowledgment, ASCII 06h) upon the completion of the process as well as upon confirmation ofreceipt of the command.
If the balance cannot execute the command process, it sends an error code (EC, Exx). To clear theerror, use the CAL command.

21. UFC Function
The UFC (Universal Flex Coms) function allows you to output contents of your choice when outputting
the weighing data. You can also output a character string when printing a barcode with a label printer orthe like.
In order to use the UFC function, it is necessary to set the output data format used to [UFC format]. For
the data format settings, refer to “13.15. RS-232C interface”, “13.16. USB interface”, “13.17. WiredLAN”, and “13.18. Bluetooth”.

UFC program commands
The output data format used can be stored in the balance by sending the program command from apersonal computer.
Text files can be imported from a USB flash drive to the internal memory.
For the import method, refer to “13.19. UFC format”.
The program command received is saved in the internal memory with the filename“Received_Program_Command.txt”. The data in the internal memory is stored even when the power ofthe balance is turned off. However, when the program command is received again, the file will beoverwritten.

Creating program commands

The maximum number of characters for a program command is 1024 characters.
Add the three characters “PF,” to the beginning of the program command.
Program commands are combined using comma or space delimiters, which can be omitted to reduce
the number of characters. The comma after the PF command, however, cannot be omitted.

Enclose an ASCII code string of your choice in single quotation marks. Character strings that can be
output are comprised of alphanumeric characters and symbols. The single quotation mark isrepresented by two single quotation marks.
Example. Character string for outputting A'BC'D is ’A’’BC’’D’.
To output the ASCII control code, enter "# + 2 hexadecimal characters"
However, SOH (01h), STX (02h), ETX (03h), and EOT (04h) cannot be used.
Example. To output the ASCII code " acknowledgement, AK (06h)", enter #06.
By adding ‘* and a number (up to 2 characters)’ after the command, space ($SP), CR ($CR), and LF($LF) can be repeated as many times as the number entered.
Example. To output 12 spaces, enter $SP*12.
To output 9 CRs, enter $CR*9.
By adding ’&’ to the end of a line when sending two or more lines of program command, the balance
determines that the program command will continue on the next line.
The balance sends an <AK> code (acknowledgement, ASCII 06h) at the end of the process.
If the command cannot be executed, an error code (EC, Exx) will be sent.
The software “Windows Communication Tools for UFC” (“WinCT-UFC”) for creating program commands
is available.
Download “WinCT-UFC” from our website ( https://www.aandd.jp ).

The key switches of the balance and the IR sensor functions can be locked by sending a specified
command to the balance. This is a useful function when you want to control the balance only with an
external device such as a personal computer.
Even in the key lock state, it is possible to operate the keys with the key control commands. For the key
control commands, refer to “20. Command”.
Key lock state can be checked by sending a command to check the state to the balance.
Key lock is maintained until either a command is sent to the balance to release or the power is turned
off by unplugging the AC adapter.
The key lock command operates only on the HOME screen (weighing mode, counting mode, percent
mode, minimum weight alert function). Although the key lock command operates in formulation modeand HPLC mode, you cannot operate the balance with the command (the SAVE button
selection).
Caution The IR sensor settings cannot be changed in the key lock state.

Locking all key switches
All the key switches of the balance can be disabled by sending a KL command to the balance.

24. Ionizer
The ionizer removes static electricity by irradiating the target object with positive or negative ions thatare generated from four discharge electrodes by DC corona discharge. Ordinarily, insulators such as
powders, filters, or weighing paper, tend to be charged when the humidity is 45% RH or less, and anerror of a few milligrams may occur during weighing. By removing static from the weighing object with
the ionizer, it is possible to eliminate the error in the weighing value due to charging, and correct
weighing can be performed.

Usage
Step 1.

Make sure that the AC adapter of the balance is not connected, and then connect the balance andthe ionizer (as noted in “2.2. Assembly and installation”).

Step 2.

Connect the AC adapter, plug it in, and then turn on the power. The power lamp of the ionizer lights up.

Step 3.

Place the target object within the effective range of static elimination.

Step 4.

Hold your hand over the IR sensor (touchless infrared proximity sensor) on the front of the ionizer
to start static elimination. The ION lamp indicating that static elimination is in progress lights up.

Step 5.

Refer to the figure below for the effective range of static elimination, and perform static elimination.
At factory setting, when three seconds have passed from the start of static elimination, the ION
lamp indicating that static elimination is in progress turns off and static elimination stops.

*4 Buzzer rings when the power is turned on or whenever the IR sensor or IR switch performs.

Maintaining the ionizer
Caution: Do not touch electrode units while the ionizer is in operation. Doing so may result in electric shock.
Dust and other substances adhere to the electrode needle area of the ionizer over time, degrading thestatic elimination capacity. To maintain the performance, clean the electrode needle on electrode units
with a dry cotton swab, etc. on a regular basis.
If the static elimination capacity does not recover because the tip of the electrode needle on anelectrode unit is worn out, replace all of the four electrode units with new ones. The lifetime ofelectrode units is approx. 10000 hours.

Replacement procedure

Step 1.

Disconnect the balance connection cable and turn off the power.

Step 2.

Rotate electrode units counterclockwise by 45° to pull them out.

Step 3.

Insert new electrode units and rotate them clockwise by 45° to secure them.

22626. Troubleshooting

Checking the balance performance and environment

Since the balance is a precision instrument, in some cases it may not be able to measure correct values
due to adverse effects of the measurement environment or measurement method.
If repeatability is poor when the sample is loaded and unloaded several times, or if the balance seems
to be operating abnormally, check the following items. If the problem persists after checking each item,
contact your local A&D dealer for repair. "Frequently Asked Questions" and answers to them are also
posted on our website ( https://www.aandd.jp ).

1. Checking that the balance works properly

Method 1

Method 2
Method 3

Use check functions to check the balance operation. Refer to “11.1. Daily check” and“11.2. Periodic check”. Fatal failures are displayed as a message.
As a simpler test, check the repeatability with an external weight.
Be sure to place the weight in the center of the weighing pan.
As a precise test, check the repeatability, linearity, weighing value, etc. with a weight of a known
weight.

2. Checking that the measurement environment and method are appropriate
Check the following check items.

Operating environment

Is the table on which the balance is placed sturdy? (Specifically for BA-6TE, BA-6DTE)
Is the balance level? For how to adjust the bubble spirit level, refer to “2.3.1. How to adjust the level ofthe balance”.
Is the operating environment free from vibration and drafts?
Is there any strong electrical or magnetic noise source such as a motor near the balance?

Weighing method

Is the weighing pan set so that it does not touch other parts such as the breeze break and dust plateframe? (Is it installed correctly?)
Do you always press the RE-ZERO button before placing your sample on the weighing pan?
Do you place your sample in the center of the weighing pan?
Did you perform a sensitivity adjustment before weighing?
Did you warm up the balance before weighing for at least an hour, or at least four hours for BA-6TE /BA-6DTE, with the AC adapter connected to the power supply?

Sample and container

Is the sample free from moisture absorption or evaporation due to the influence of ambient temperatureand humidity?
Is the temperature of the container of the sample acclimatized to the ambient temperature? Refer to“2.4. Precautions during use for more accurate weighing”.
Is the sample free of static electricity? Refer to “2.4. Precautions during use for more accurate
weighing”.
The sample may be charged with static electricity especially with the BA-6TE/BA-6DTE when therelative humidity is low.
Is the sample a magnetic material (iron, etc.)? Care must be taken when weighing magnetic materials.
Refer to “2.4. Precautions during use for more accurate weighing”.

227

Asking for repair
If the balance needs service or repair, contact your local A&D dealer. The balance is a precision
instrument. Use much care when handling the balance when transporting the balance.
Use the packing material and box that the balance was contained in at the time of purchase.
Remove the weighing pan and pan support from the main unit of the balance.
