2.2 Installing Components 2.2.1 Platform Installation
Balances are shipped with the pan not installed. On balances equipped with a draft shield, slide open the side door and insert the pan into the center hole.
2.2.2 Windshield Installation On 610 g to 6100 g balances with 0.01 g resolution, a wind-
Wind Shield
shield is required to reduce the possibility of air currents from disturbing the pan. When the windshield is in place, air currents are deflected up over the pan. Make sure the windshield is firmly snapped into place. NOTE: 4100 g, 6100 g and 8100 g balances with internal calibration are equipped with a 6" Pan and Windshield.
2.2.3 Weigh Below Preparation The Explorer Pro balance is equipped with a weigh below hook at the bottom of the balance. To use this feature, remove the protective cover underneath the balance. See illustration for location. The balance can be supported using lab jacks or any other convenient method. Make sure the balance is level and secure. Apply power and operate the balance. Attach items to be weighed to the hook underneath the balance.

2.3 Selecting the Location 2.3.1 Balance Location
The balance should always be used in an environment which is free from excessive air currents, corrosives, vibration, and temperature or humidity extremes. These factors will affect displayed weight readings. DO NOT install the balance: Next to open windows or doors causing drafts or rapid temperature changes. Near air conditioning or heat vents. Near vibrating, rotating or reciprocating equipment. Near magnetic fields or equipment that generates magnetic fields. On an unlevel work surface. Allow sufficient space around the instrument for ease of operation and keep away from radiating heat sources.
2.3.2 Leveling the Balance Exact horizontal positioning and stable installation are prerequisites for repeatable results. To compensate for small irregularities or inclinations at the location, the instrument can be leveled. For exact horizontal positioning, the balance is equipped with a level indicator located at the front on the control panel and two leveling feet located at the rear of the balance. Position the balance in the intended operating location. Adjust the leveling feet at the rear of the balance until the air bubble in the indicator is centered. NOTE: The instrument should be leveled each time its location is changed.

Hardware On the rear of the balance, the right-hand, 9-pin male subminiature D connector is provided for interfacing to other devices. The pinout and pin connections are shown in the adjacent illustration. Refer to paragraph 3.5.6 for setup. The balance is equipped with hardware handshaking, it will not output any data unless pin 5 (CTS) is held in a high state (+3 to +15 V dc). Interfaces not utilizing the CTS handshake may tie pin 5 to pin 6 to defeat it.
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. Additional information is located in Section 5, Technical Data which contains the RS232 Command Table.

2.4.3 Initial Calibration
Calibrating from the Weighing Screen
Calibration Masses
When the balance is first turned on, three soft keys appear on
Calibration masses are required if the balance is not equipped with internal calibration. Before beginning calibration, make sure masses are available. If you begin calibration and realize calibration masses are not available, exit the menu. The balance will retain previously stored calibration data. Calibration should be performed as necessary to ensure accurate weighing. Masses required to perform the procedures are listed in the following table. NOTE: Any of the calibration modes can be terminated at any time by pressing the Menu button.
the weighing screen. The CALIBRATE soft key is highlighted. This permits calibration immediately without entering the CALIBRATION menu. On balances equipped with internal calibration, the balance automatically calibrates. On balances that do not have internal calibration, an external mass is required. WEIGHING UNITS
