2.6 TRANSDUCER DESCRIPTION

Figure 2-2 illustrates a typical Transducer used in the Adventurer balances. The Transducer is attached to the
case of the balance. The force of a weight placed on the weighing Pan is exerted on the Hanger which is guided
by the Upper and Lower Flexure Arms. The Load Flexure transfers the force vertically to the Ratio Beam. The
Ratio Flexures form a pivot for the Ratio Beam.
Any mass placed on the Pan applies a downward force to the Load Flexure by means of the Center Post. The
Load Flexure pulls down on the front end of the Ratio Beam which pivots, pulling the Force Coil up into the air gap
of the Magnet. The upward movement of the Vane (which is connected to the Ratio Beam) is detected by the
Position Sensor. The Position Sensor contains one light emitting diode (LED) and two photo resistors. When the
Vane moves, the amount of light is varied, causing one of the photo resistors to change its resistance value. The
resultant signal goes into an amplifier to be amplified and filtered. The signal then goes through a current amplifier,
then fed to the force coil which interacts with the Magnet returning the Ratio Beam to the null position. In the null
position, light should strike each photo resistor equally. The entire process takes approximately 4 seconds from
the time any mass is placed on the Pan to achieve a stable reading.

The mechanical zero of the system is moved to the approximate middle of the measuring range by the Counter
Weight. Displacement of the Position Sensor Vane from the normal position results in a current change in the
Force Coils. The Force Coils are located in the field of the permanent Magnets which are mounted on the
Transducer Base. This means that with a 50% load on the Pan, the Ratio Beam is in equilibrium and the sum of
the forces from the Force Coils is zero. The temperature sensitivity of the Permanent magnets is compensated in
the electronics by a Temperature Sensor which is physically mounted on the magnet assembly.

2.7 BLOCK DIAGRAM CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

Figure 2-3 illustrates the Adventurer electronic circuitry as a block diagram.

2.7.1 Main PC Board

Power Supply
Power is supplied to the balance through an AC/AC adapter which provides 12 Volts ac or DC/DC adapter which

Ohaus Corporation www.ohaus.com 12

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 ADVENTURER+ Service Manual P/N 83020790 A

provides 12Volts dc. The main PC board contains a diode bridge and 4 voltage regulators which provide
regulated voltages. The 3.3 Volts is provided to the digital circuitry and the 10 Volts dc and -12 Volts are for
operating the balance, and 5 Volts is for backlit.

MELSI2
MELSI2 is a digital integrated circuit that contains the digital circuitry needed to operate a two-channel charge
balance deltasigma A/D converter.

Microprocessing Unit
The LPC2138 microcontrollers is based on a 32/16 bit ARM7TDMI-S™ CPU with real-time emulation and
embedded trace support, that combines the microcontroller with 512 kB of embedded high speed Flash memory.
A 128-bit wide memory interface and an unique accelerator architecture enable 32-bit code execution at
maximum clock rate.

RTC unit
The LPC2138 include the RTC function. A rechargeable circuitry is designed for the RTC as power supply.

Parameter Storage
The EEPROM is a 2048 x 8 bit electrically erasable and programmable memory which stores some information of
production.

2.7.2 Cell PC Board

Reference voltage
The cell PC board contains a reference voltage which is used for producing a constant current source.

Constant current driver circuitry

The two switches are transfer switches for the constant current to the two force coils to compensate the
measured weight.
Weight Measurement
The position sensor supplies an electrical current, the magnitude of which depends of the position of the sensor
vane, to the PID controller after the current being amplified and converted to voltage. The output signal of the PID
controller is compared with a periodic ramp signal. The output signal of the comparator is a pulse signal which is
passed to the microprocessing unit as the weighing results.
Temperature Measurement
A thermistor is mounted in the transducer as a temperature sensor. The switched temperature dependent current
charges and discharges the integrator. The output voltage of the integrator is compared with a dc voltage. The
output signal of the comparator is a pulse signal which is passed to the micro controller as the temperature results
and it is used to compensate the weighing result in the microprocessing unit.
Parameter Storage
The EEPROM is a 2048 x 8 bit electrically erasable and programmable memory which stores resettable
parameters such as the temperature compensations coefficient, unit, scaling factor etc.

2.7.3 RS232 Board

locate the symptom that you are observing. Follow the symptom column and review the probable cause column
and remedy column. The probable causes are listed with the most common cause first. If the first remedy does
not fix the problem, proceed on to the next remedy. Before attempting to repair the balance, read all chapters of
this manual to familiarize yourself with the balance components and operation. Do not attempt repairs unless you
fully understand the operation of the balance.

3.2.1 Diagnosis
1. Isolate and identify the symptom.
2. Refer to Table 3-1 Diagnostic guide and locate the symptom.
3. Follow the suggested remedies in the order that they appear.
4. Perform the indicated checks, or see the appropriate section of the manual.
5. Repair or replace the defective section of the balance.

NOTE:
If more than one symptom is observed, it is necessary to approach one
area at a time, and also remember that the symptoms may be interrelated.

In the event that erratic or fluctuating weight readings are observed, it is necessary to isolate the problem to either
the mechanical area or the electronic area of the balance.

4 MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

4.1 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Ohaus balances are precision instruments and should be carefully handled, stored in a clean dry area which is
dust free, and cleaned periodically. It is recommended that when a balance has had chemicals or liquids spilled
on it, the balance should be cleaned as soon as possible. Use warm water on a damp cloth to clean all exterior
surfaces. Do not leave a mass on the balance when the balance is not in use. When moving the balance from a
storage area which is at a different temperature than the area where the balance is to be operated, allow sufficient
time for the balance mechanism to temperature stabilize. This time can vary quite a bit depending upon the
temperature differences. Allow one (1) hour for each 5 degrees Fahrenheit temperature change before using the
balance. Also, after turning the balance ON, allow one hour after temperature stabilization for the balance
electronics to stabilize.

4.1.1 Preventive Maintenance Checklist

On a regular basis, the balance should be inspected and checked as follows:
1. Remove the Platform and Sub Platform (on 4kg balances) and inspect and clean the area beneath the
Platform.
2. Clean the outside of the balance using a damp cloth with water.

CAUTION
DO NOT USE CHEMICAL CLEANERS OR SOLVENTS OF ANY TYPE.
SOME CLEANERS ARE ABRASIVE AND MAY AFFECT THE FINISH OF
THE BALANCE.

3. Check the Power Cord for broken or damaged insulation.

4. Make a visual inspection for faulty connectors, wiring, and loose hardware.

4.2 TESTING
Before servicing the Adventurer balance, an operational test and various performance tests should be made to
ascertain whether or not the balance meets specifications. Turn the balance on and allow it warm up for at least
one hour before performing these tests. Make sure the test area is free from drafts and the surface that the
balance rests on is level and vibration free. The masses used for the performance tests and adjustments must
meet or exceed ASTM Class 1 Tolerance.
4.2.1 Operational Test
1. Connect a functioning Power Adapter to the balance power receptacle assembly located at the rear of the
balance.
2. Plug the Power Cord into a suitable power source.
Segment Display Test
Turn the balance on, all segments are enabled and displayed breifly, then the model number of the balance
followed by a software revision number. This is a segment display test. Figure 4-1 is a full display test.

Figure 4-1 Segment Display

4.2.2 Calibration
To verify that the Balance is functioning properly, it must be calibrated prior to testing. At this point, the Balance
should have the menus set up if functional. After calibration, proceed to Performance Tests, paragraph 4.2.3 for
Precision balances and paragraph 4.2.4 for Analytical balances.
Calibration can be affected by changes in location, temperature, or rough handling. AdventurerTM balances can
be calibrated in two ways: Span calibration or Linearity calibration. Span calibration resets the balance's weighing
range using two weight values: zero and a weight value at or near the balance's 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 within the balance's weighing range and a weight value at or near the
balance's specified capacity.

4.2.2.1 Calibration Masses

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 Table 4-1.

The following performance tests are used to evaluate the balance operation before and after repairs. Each
balance tested must meet the requirements specified in each test as well as the specifications listed in Table 1-2
depending upon the model. Before proceeding with the following tests, all the procedures starting with paragraph
4.2 must have been accomplished on the Balance first.

4.2.3.1 Precision Test - Precision and Analytical Balances

Precision is a word used in balance specifications meaning the Standard Deviation of a set of similar weight
readings. To determine whether a balance meets the calculated Standard Deviation value listed in the Tolerance
Tables 4-2 and 4-3, perform the following test:
Test
1. Tare the balance. The reading on the display should be 0g.
2. Select a mass weighing near the maximum capacity of the balance and place the mass on the center of the
Platform observe and record the reading.
3. Remove the mass. Reading should return to 0g ± 1 count.
4. Repeat this test for three times. Reading should be within ±1 count of the reading recorded. If the reading is
less than ±1 count, the balance passes the Precision Test. If the deviation for a set of readings is more than
±1 count, proceed to the next step.
5. If the deviation for any set of readings (using the same mass placed on the center of the Platform) is
greater than the tolerance listed in Table 4-2, the balance does not meet the precision specification. Inspect
and correct the following areas:
5A. Check for mechanical obstructions. Any foreign object touching any part of the moving assemblies will
cause a balance to fail the Precision Test. Inspect and correct as necessary.

Ohaus Corporation www.ohaus.com 20

5B. An error in the Off-Center Load Adjustment can affect the results of the Precision Test. Inspect and
correct if necessary. See Off-Center Load Test.

4.2.3.2 Off-Center Load Test - Precision Balances

The Off-Center Load Test is used to determine whether displayed weight values will be affected by moving the
sample to different areas of the Platform. See figure 4-2. Place 1/2 of the balance capacity in the center of the

Platform. Press the button to return the reading to zero. Move the mass halfway to the rear of the
Platform and note the reading. Move the mass halfway between the center and the left edge front of the Platform
and note the reading. Repeat this test for the right edge position and note the reading. Move the mass halfway to
the front of the Platform and note the reading. Note any differences in the displayed weight reading at all positions.
Maximum allowable change is per Table 4-2 for each of the listed balances four positions.

A 1g calibration mass is recommended for the reference mass. All masses are nominal values. HOWEVER, BE
CERTAIN TO USE THE SAME REFERENCE MASS THROUGHOUT THE PROCEDURE.

Before beginning:
• Perform calibration.
Preliminary Weighings
Using the Load 3 and Load 4 weight values (Table 4-3 or 4-4), perform some preliminary weighing and make sure the
display returns to zero after weighing.
1. Place Load 3 on the center of the Platform, read the displayed weight, then remove Load 3. If the display

does not return to zero, press and repeat this.

2. Repeat step 1 using Load 4.
After performing preliminary weighing, proceed with checking Linearity. If the balance does not return to zero,
it must be repaired.

Test
1. Place the reference mass on the center of the Platform and record the exact value (all decimal places)
displayed.
2. Remove the reference mass and verify that the display returns to zero. If it does not, disregard the reading,

Ohaus Corporation www.ohaus.com 25

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 ADVENTURER+ Service Manual P/N 83020790 A

press to rezero the display and take that reading again. See note above.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 five times and determine the Mean of the weight readings:
Mean = Sum of Readings/5
Record the Mean as Mean(0)

4. Place Load 1 on the center of the Platform and press .

5. Add the reference mass to the Platform and record the exact value displayed.
6. Remove the reference mass and verify that the display returns to zero. If it does not, disregard the reading,

press to rezero the display and take that reading again.

NOTE:
If after several attempts the display fails to return to zero, a repeatability
problem is indicated and the balance must be serviced by an OhausProduct
Service Specialist.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 five times and determine the Mean of the weight readings as in step 3. Record the
Mean as Mean(1).

8. Remove all masses from the Platform and press .

9. Repeat steps 4 through 8 except use Load 2, Load 3 or Load 4 as applicable. Record the Mean weight
readings as Mean(2), Mean(3), or Mean(4), respectively.
10. Determine the Mean of ALL weight readings.
(Mean(0)+ Mean(1)+ Mean(2)+ Mean(3)+ Mean(4))/5= MEAN of ALL Readings
11. Determine the deviations from the MEAN:
Determine the deviation of each individual mean (Mean (X)) from the MEAN of ALL Readings as follows:
Deviation (X) = Mean (X) - MEAN of ALL Readings
Record each deviation as Dev(0), Dev(1), Dev(2), Dev(3), and Dev(4), and identify each as (+) or (-).
12. Determine the Cumulative Deviation:
Determine and record the cumulative deviation as follows:
Cum. Dev (0) = Dev (0) + 0
Cum. Dev (1) = Dev (1) + Dev (0)
Cum. Dev (2) = Dev (2) + Dev (1) + Dev (0)
Cum. Dev (3) = Dev (3) + Dev (2) + Dev (1) + Dev (0)
Cum. Dev (4) = Dev (4) + Dev (3) + Dev (2) + Dev (1) + Dev (0)
13. Compare Cumulative Deviation to Linearity Tolerance:
Compare the cumulative deviations to the maintenance Linearity tolerance for the particular balance model.
For example, if an 210g balance yields the following results it would be within the tolerance.
Cumulative Deviation
-0.07 mg...........................largest negative value = -0.07 mg
+0.01 mg
+0.06 mg..........................largest positive value = +0.06
+0.01 mg

Ohaus Corporation www.ohaus.com 26

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 ADVENTURER+ Service Manual P/N 83020790 A

+0.00 mg
Cumulative Deviations are less than 210g balance tolerance of +0.2

If the cumulative deviations are within the tolerance, the balance is linear. If the balance proves to be non-linear,
retest the Center Load Test of the balance. If the balance does not meet the specifications of the Center Load
Test, the balance must be serviced.

4.2.3.5 Precision/Repeatability Test - Precision and Analytical

Precision is a term used in balance specifications which means the standard deviation of a set of similar weight
readings.
To conduct a Repeatability Test, proceed as follows:
1. With the balance calibrated, place a mass on the Platform equal to the capacity of the balance. Record the
reading.
2. Remove the mass from the Platform, the balance should return to 0g. Record the reading.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 ten more times. Subtract the lowest from the highest reading to determine the
difference. Maximum allowable difference is as listed in Table 4-2 or 4-3.
4. If the balance does not meet specifications, refer to Table 3-1 to determine the problem.

4.3 DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY PROCEDURES

Depending upon the capacity of the balance, one of two different types of Transducers is used. This section of the
manual contains detailed disassembly and assembly procedures.

MORE OF THESE COMPONENTS WILL DESTROY THE ACCURACY OF THE
BALANCE.

NOTE:
Visually inspect the Transducer Assembly for bent, cracked, or distorted
Flexures. Each Flexure should be perfectly straight. If it is determined that a
Flexure requires replacement, refer to paragraph 4.4.2 for the Upper Flexure
Arm and Lower Flexure Arm removal procedure.

4.4.2 Transducer Disassembly/Cleaning/Alignment - Precision

The Transducer consists of all the mechanical parts and some electronic components which convert an applied
mass into an electronic signal. The Transducer must be very carefully aligned and be free from foreign material.
In the event that foreign material has entered the air gap between the Magnet Assembly and the Force Coil , or if
any field serviceable component has been damaged, it may become necessary to disassemble the Transducer
for cleaning or repair.

Ohaus Corporation www.ohaus.com 29

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 ADVENTURER+ Service Manual P/N 83020790 A

The Arm Flexure and Ratio Flexures may each be replaced independent of one another and without
disassembling the entire Transducer. To clean between the Magnet Assembly and the Force Coil, remove the
Top and Bottom Flexure Arms and Center Poast with the Load Flexure still attached (Load Flexure must be
disconnected from the Ratio Beam first). To proceed, refer to Ratio Beam Removal/Installation Instructions
4.4.2.4, starting with step 3.

For the following procedures, the Transducer should be removed from the Unit Base as described previously.

4.4.2.1 Flexure Removal/Replacement - Precision

To remove components from the Transducer, the use of a Test Fixture is required to hold the components of the
Transducer in place. Models AR153, AR223, AR323, AR423 and AR423D require test Fixture part number
923345. Models AR522, AR1502, AR2202, AR3202, AR4202, AR4202D and AR4201 require test Fixture part
number 923389.

1. Install the Test Fixture on the front of the Transducer using the six screws supplied with the fixture.
2. Remove and replace Flexures as required. Ratio Flexures and Load Flexure are accessible.

4.4.2.2 Top Flexure Arm Removal/Installation - Precision

1. Install the Test Fixture on the front of the Transducer using the six screws supplied with the fixture.
2. Remove the four screws on the Top Flexure Arm. See figure 6-2 and figure 6-4.
3. Remove the Top Flexure Arm.
4. Replace Top Flexure Arm by placing into position on the Transducer Frame and secure with the four
screws previously removed.

4.4.2.3 Bottom Flexure Arm Removal/Installation - Precision

1. Install the Test Fixture on the front of the Transducer using the six screws supplied with the fixture.
2. Remove the four screws on the Bottom Flexure Arm. See figure 6-2 and figure 6-4.

4.4.2.4 Ratio Beam Assembly Removal/Installation - Precision

1. Install the Test Fixture on the front of the Transducer using the six screws supplied with the fixture.
2. Remove the Top Flexure Arm, see paragraph 4.4.2.2.
3. Remove the Bottom Flexure Arm, see paragraph 4.4.2.3.

NOTE: In the next step, be careful as to the color and location of the wires removed. There is one Green wire,
one Brown wire and Brown and Green wires twisted together. It is suggested that a diagram be made of the
wire positions which you can refer back to when resoldering.

4. Unsolder the four Wires which connect the Ratio Beam to the Terminal Block mounted on the top of the
Load Cell Frame. The resistance measurement from the Brown/Green wire to the individual Green wire or the
individual Brown wire should be 460 ohms. The resistance reading from any wire to the frame should be open
or infinity.
5. Using a piece of tape, tape the position Sensor Board on the top and side to the frame. This is done so that
the Sensor Board can be accurately positioned back in place. Use a razor blade to cut the tape between the

Ohaus Corporation www.ohaus.com 30

 ADVENTURER+ Service Manual P/N 83020790 A

board and frame. When the board is replaced, you can line up the tape edges for horizontal and vertical
positioning. Remove the three screws holding the position Sensor Board from the Transducer Frame. Two of
the screws have washers, these are tightened when replaced.

NOTE: The one screw on the left side of the position Sensor Board is not to be tightened when replaced, this
screw is a guide only.

6. Remove the two small screws holding the Magnet Cover in place.
7. The Ratio Beam can now be removed by lifting straight up.
8. Clean the air gap in the Magnet and also check the Force coil for any signs of debris. Clean if necessary.
(Adhesive tape turned back on itself is very helpful when trying to remove debris in the Magnet Assembly.)
9. Reinstall the Ratio Beam in the reverse order. Make sure the position Sensor Board is properly aligned

the side with the two screws which should be slightly tightned. If the Sensor Board is improperly positioned,
the Shaft indicator will stay locked in one position. Adjust the Sensor Board up and down until the display
indicates other than 8.4. If the Sensor Board is positioned too high or too low, the display indicates Error 8.4.
Position the Sensor Board until the display indicates other than 8.4, then tighten the two screws on the right
hand side of the Sensor Board. The Shaft Indicator travel should be equal in it's up and down motion. The
amount of travel is about 15 to 20 thousands of an inch. If the Sensor Board repositioning does not allow the
Shaft Indicator to move properly, adjust the Up/Down Stop and try repositioning the sensor Board again. After
completing this adjustment, turn the balance off and remove the Platform and Subplatform. Install the
remaining screws in the Transducer.
