HARVARD TRIP BALANCE

Series 1400 and 1500

Instruction Manual

INTRODUCTION

This manual covers Installation, Operation and Maintenance for the Ohaus Harvard

Trip balances: Models 1450-SD, 1550-SD and 1560-SD. To ensure proper

operation of the Balance, please read this manual completely.

DESCRIPTION

The Ohaus Harvard Trip Balance Series are precision weighing instruments,

designed to provide years of service with virtually no maintenance. Harvard Trip

Balances employ a two-pan design based on the classic Roberval balance

principle. They have the additional advantages of magnetic damping, beams with

sliding weights and two styles of weighing platforms.

Two-pan Balances of this type are commonly used for comparative weighing to

determine the difference in mass between two objects rather than their absolute

value. Built-in sliding masses on the side beam, Model 1450-SD, is usually

sufficient for this purpose. The 1450-SD Balance is a single side beam model. The

1500 Series (Models 1550-SD and 1560-SD) are double side beam models for

higher capacity weighing. Maximum Balance capacity for all Harvard Trip Balances

is 2kg/5lbs. The Platforms used on the Balances are 6" diameter stainless-steel

plates.

Harvard Trip Balance Model 1550-SD.

UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Harvard Trip Balances are shipped as follows:

•Completely assembled Balance

•Instruction manual

•Warranty card

Your new precision Balance has been packed in a carton specifically designed to

protect it during shipment. Follow these instructions and your Balance will be

operational in just a few minutes. Carefully unpack and verify that all items are on

hand.

1. Remove the Balance from the carton by pulling on the cardboard inserts.

2. Remove cardboard inserts from Balance.

3. Remove the two round rubber beam retainers from between the Base and

Platform End Loops. All packing material should be retained if you anticipate

INSTALLATION

Place the Balance on a reasonably flat, level surface away from sources of

vibration and drafts. Move the sliding weight (Poise) all the way to the left facing

the front of the Balance. On Model 1560-SD, slide the tare weight (Poise) all the

way to the left. This will result in the Balance being very nearly at zero.

OPERATION

Zeroing the Balance

To set the Balance exactly at zero, adjust the knurled Zero Adjust Knob which is

located at the right end of the Beam. It is advisable to check the zero balance

periodically because foreign material may accumulate on the Platform or the

Beams. This can produce a slight change in the zero balance position. In

addition, whenever the Balance is moved, the zero balance must be rechecked.

Any appreciable change in the inclination of the working surface will affect

accuracy.

The Base of each Balance is leveled on a surface plate at the factory and will rest

evenly on any perfectly flat surface. The Balance may rock slightly if the working

surface is not absolutely flat. This should be eliminated by shimming under the

Base. Be sure to adjust the zero balance after leveling.

Weighing

Once the zero balance has been checked, proceed as follows:

1. Place the unknown mass on the left Platform.

2. Move the large Poise on the lower Beam to the right until it reaches the first

notch which will cause the right Platform to drop.

3. Move the large Poise back one notch, which will allow the right Platform to

rise again.

4. Move the small Poise on the upper Beam to the right until the Balance is

brought into equilibrium.

5. To determine the weight of the unknown mass, add the amounts indicated

on the two Beams.

If the capacity on the Balance exceeds the Beam capacity, additional masses are

necessary to take advantage of the full capacity.

To weigh masses which exceed the Beam capacity, proceed as follows:

1. Place additional masses on the right Platform to compensate for the excess

weight of the unknown mass.

2. Adjust the Poises on the Beams to bring the Balance into equilibrium.

3. To determine the weight of the unknown mass, add the weight (s) on the

right Platform to the amounts indicated on the two Beams.

Use of the Tare Poise (Model 1560-SD)

For those models which are equipped with the Tare Beam assembly, a patented

Tare Poise can be used to tare off containers which weigh less than 200 grams.

With the container on the left Platform, slide the Tare Poise to a position on the

Tare Beam which indicates approximate balance. Rotate the Poise in either

direction to position it precisely on the Tare Beam to counterbalance the

container on the left hand Platform.

When not in use, the Tare Poise is to be moved all the way to the left of the Tare

Beam. The Spring inside the Tare Poise should also be pushed to its left most

position in order to obtain zero balance.

Specific Gravity Determination

A Clamp and Rod Support, Ohaus part number 183-00, is an accessory used to

elevate the Balance for suspending a specimen in water. The rod is inserted into

the 1/2 inch recess on the underside of the Base. By means of a fine wire or

thread, the specimen is attached to the Check Pin which connects the Platform

Loop to the Check Rod. The procedure for weighing a suspended specimen is

the same as that for weighing an unknown mass on the Platform.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The following practices will assure that your Balance will give you years of

satisfactory and trouble-free service.

When the Balance is not in use, remove any mass or weights from the Platforms.

Move one of the Poises from zero so that the Balance is not in equilibrium. This

will stop the Balance from oscillating and prevent unnecessary wear.

Use and store the Balance in places free of vibration. Never lubricate the scale

bearings. The Bearings in these Balances are high grade polished agate V-

blocks and the knife edges are hardened, precision-ground steel. This type of

Bearing works most efficiently when clean and dry.

Keep the Balance clean at all times, being particularly careful not to let dirt

accumulate in the vicinity of the Bearings. If the Bearings should become dirty, try

to clean them using an air syringe. The Model 106-00 Balance Cover is

recommended to keep the Balance clean when not in use.

Cleaning Magnet Faces

In general, most foreign matter may be easily removed by an air syringe. If the

Damper Vane still does not move freely, proceed as follows:

1. CAREFULLY turn the Balance on its side.

2. Remove the four (4) screws that mount the Magnet Case to the underside of

the Base.

3. Remove the Magnet Case.

4. Clean the Magnet faces by pressing a piece of adhesive-backed tape

against them.

5. Reinstall the Magnet Case.
