4 Installation and Putting Into Operation

4.1 Scope of delivery1 Open the packaging and carefully remove all components.

2 Check the delivered items.The standard scope of delivery contains the following items:

Balance Weighing pan and weighing pan support Protective cover for load cell cone (mounted) Protective cover (mounted) Stackable cover Universal AC/DC adapter (country specific) Operating instructions printed or on CD-Rom depending on the country. Quick Guide (English) depending on the country. EC declaration of conformity

4.2 Selecting a locationThe correct location makes an important contribution to the accuracy of the weighing results of precision balances. Select a stable, vibration-free position that is as horizontal as possible. The surfacemust be able to safely carry the weight of a fully loaded balance.

Observe ambient conditions see Technical Data (page 59).

Avoid the following:

Vibrations Excessive temperature fluctuations Direct sunlight Powerful drafts (e.g. from fans or air conditioners)

4.3 Leveling the balace

The balances have a level indicator and two or four adjustableleveling feet to compensate for slight irregularities in the surfaceof the weighing bench. The balance is exactly horizontal whenthe air bubble is in the middle of the level glass.

Align the balance horizontally by turning the leveling feet of thebalance housing until the air bubble is in the inner circle of thelevel indicator.

Note: The balance should be leveled and adjusted each time it ismoved to a new location.

13Installation and Putting Into Operation

4.4 Installing the components

1 Remove the protective cover for weighingcone (1). Keep it for later use.

2 Place the following components on the balance in the specified order:• Pan support (2)• Weighing pan (3)

2

4.5 Installation of the protective cover

Install the protective cover according to the illustration on theright, using a screwdriver.


4.6 Using the stackable coverThe stackable cover can be placed on the balance. It protects the balance from dust when it is notused and allows you to stack up a maximal number of 5 balances.

4.7 Power supply

4.7.1 AC operationYour balance is supplied with an country-specific AC/DC adapter. The power supply is suitable for allline voltages in the range: 100 - 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz (for detailed specifications, see section "technical data").

First, check the local line voltage is in the range 100 - 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz andwhether the power plug fits your local power supply connection. If this is not thecase, on no account connect the balance or the AC adapter to the power supply,but contact the responsible METTLER TOLEDO dealer.

Important:

Before operating, check all cables for damage. Guide the cables so that they cannot become damaged or interfere with the

weighing process! Take care that the AC adapter cannot come into contact with liquids! The power plug must be always accessible.

Connect the AC adapter to the connection socket on the back ofyour balance (see figure) and to the power line.

4.7.2 Battery operationThe Balance can also operate with batteries. Under normal operation conditions, the balance worksindependently of the AC power line for about 8 to 15 hours (using alkaline batteries). Immediatelyafter the AC power supply is interrupted e.g. by withdrawing the power plug or if there is a power fail


ure, the balance switches automatically to battery operation. Once the AC power supply is restored, thebalance reverts automatically to AC operation.

Note: It is also possible to use rechargeable batteries. Charging batteries inside the balance is notpossible.

battery full

2/3 full

1/3 full

battery empty

When the balance is operating on its batteries, the battery symbolin the display lights up. The number of segments that are lit is anindicator of battery condition (3 = fully charged, 0 = discharged).When the batteries are almost completely discharged, the batterysymbol flashes.

Inserting / Replacing Batteries

The balance must be disconnected from the power supply when carrying out all setupand mounting work.

Make sure that the balance is off before removing or inserting batteries. Never put the balance on the weighing cone without mounted cone protection.

The load cell could be damaged. Battery Warnings: Read and follow all warnings and instructions supplied by the

battery manufacturer. Do not mix different types or brands of batteries. Performance of batteries can

vary very greatly depending on the manufacturer. If you don't operate the balance with batteries for an extended period, it is recom

mended to remove the batteries from the balance. Batteries must be disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner. No

attempt must be made to incinerate or disassemble item.

Your balance uses 4 standard AA (LR6) batteries (alkaline batteries preferred)


1 Remove weighing pan and pan support.

2 Turn the balance carefully on its side.

3 Open and remove the battery-chamber cover.

4 Insert / replace the batteries with the correctpolarity as shown in the battery holder.

5 Insert and close the battery-chamber cover.

6 Turn the balance carefully to its normal position.

7 Reinstall all components in the reverse order. +

4.8 General requirements

4.8.1 Switching on the BalanceBefore working with the balance, it must be warmed up in order to obtain accurate weighing results.To reach operating temperature, the balance must be acclimatized and connected to the power supplyfor at least 30 minutes.

4.8.2 Adjusting the BalanceTo obtain accurate weighing results, the balance must be adjusted to match the gravitational acceleration at its location and depending on the ambient conditions. After reaching the operation temperature,adjusting is necessary

before the balance is used for the first time. after a change of the location. at regular intervals during weighing service.

4.9 Adjustment

4.9.1 Adjustment with external weightNote:Approved models must be adjusted at the place of operation. Before putting in operation, and depending on particular country certification legislation, the balance will then have to be checked and sealedby authorized personnel. See the detailed information delivered with this instrument.

8.2 MT-SICS interface commands and functionsMany of the instruments and balances used have to be capable of integration in a complex computeror data acquisition system.

To enable you to integrate balances in your system in a simple manner and utilize their capabilities tothe full, most balance functions are also available as appropriate commands via the data interface.

All new METTLER TOLEDO balances launched on the market support the standardized command set"METTLER TOLEDO Standard Interface Command Set" (MT-SICS). The commands available dependingon the functionality of the balance.

For further information please refer to the Reference Manual MT-SICS downloadable from the Internetunder

10 Maintenance

10.1 Cleaning and Service

Every now and then, clean the weighing pan, draft shield element, bottom plate, draft shield (depending on the model) and housing of your balance. Your balance is made from high-quality, durablematerials and can therefore be cleaned using a damp cloth or with a standard, mild cleaning agent.

Please observe the following notes:

The balance must be disconnected from the power supply

Ensure that no liquid comes into contact with the balance or the AC adapter.

Never open the balance or AC adapter – they contain no components, which canbe cleaned, repaired or replaced by the user.

On no account use cleaning agents which contain solvents or abrasive ingredients, as this can result in damage to the operation panel overlay.

Do not use wet, but only damp cloth for cleaning.

Please contact your METTLER TOLEDO dealer for details of the available serviceoptions. Regular servicing by an authorized service engineer ensures constant accuracy for years to come and prolongs the service life of your balance.
