Operating Design

The balances in the Master pro

Series consist of a weighing cell and a display and control unit.

In addition to the choice of power supply (via AC adapter or external rechargeable battery pack), your balance also has an interface port for connecting a printer, computer or universal remote control switch.

The display and control unit and the weighing cell can be set up separately. Operation of Master pro balances follows a uniform

“philosophy” which is described in this manual.

Keys

The functions used most often are assigned to their own specific keys. There are additional keys for assignment of other (multiple) functions, in some cases dependent on the current operating status (so-called “soft keys”).

Each key is described in detail in the chapter entitled “Overview.”

Display

The display is divided into six sections:

Normal Operation

In the operating mode, these four keys function as c, q, w and v keys.

Setup Mode

In the setup mode, these keys take on the function of arrow keys

(x y Y X).

Soft Key Mode

The ‘soft key’ functions depend on the current operating status; the current function is indicated in the text line of the display. In this example, the soft keys are used to access Info, Menu and Input functions.

Functions” in the chapter entitled “Operating the Balance” for a detailed description of the interface port.

Error Codes

If you press a key that has no function, or which is blocked at a certain point in an application program, this error is indicated as follows:

– a double-beep is sounded as an acoustic signal, and

– where necessary, a message is displayed for 2 seconds in the text line, after which the text line returns to the previous display.

The response to an operator error is identical in all models of the

Master pro

series. See the chapter entitled “Error Codes” for a detailed description.

Storing Settings

Storing Parameter Settings

The settings configured are stored in the balance’s non-volatile memory. The most recent parameter settings are active when you switch on the balance.

The packaging has been designed to ensure that the balance will not be damaged even if it is dropped from a height of 80 centimeters (about

31 inches). Do not expose the balance to extreme temperatures, blows, shocks, vibration or moisture.

Unpacking the Balance

● After unpacking the balance, check it immediately for any visible damage as a result of rough handling during shipment.

k If this is the case, proceed as directed in the section on

“Safety Inspection” in the chapter entitled “Care and Maintenance.”

It is a good idea to save the box and all parts of the packaging until you have successfully installed your balance. Only the original packaging provides the best protection for shipment. Before packing your balance, unplug all connected cables to prevent damage. The cardboard strips between the display and control unit and the weighing platform are part of the protective packaging for shipment!

Important Note Concerning

Verified Balances Approved for

Use as Legal Measuring Instruments in the EU*:

Provided that an official seal is required for the verified balance, a control seal is affixed to the balance. This seal will be irreparably damaged if you attempt to remove it. If the seal is broken, the validity of the verification will become void, and you must have your balance re-verified.

Installation Instructions

The Sartorius Master pro

balances are designed to provide reliable weighing results under normal ambient conditions in the laboratory and in industry. When choosing a location to set up your balance, observe the following so that you will be able to work with added speed and accuracy:

– Set up the balance on a stable, even surface

– Avoid placing the balance in close proximity to a heater or otherwise exposing the balance to heat or direct sunlight

– Protect the balance from drafts that come from open windows or doors

– Avoid exposing the balance to extreme vibrations during weighing

– Protect the balance from aggressive chemical vapors

– Do not expose the balance to extreme moisture

Conditioning the Balance

Moisture in the air can condense on the surfaces of a cold balance whenever it is brought into a substantially warmer place. If you transfer the balance to a warmer area, make sure to condition it for about 2 hours at room temperature, leaving it unplugged from AC power.

Afterwards, if you keep the balance connected to AC power, the continuous positive difference in temperature between the inside of the balance and the outside will practically rule out the effects of moisture condensation.

Calibration/Adjustment

Purpose

Calibration is the determination of the difference between the weight readout and the true weight

(mass) of a sample. Calibration does not entail making any changes within the balance.

Adjustment is the correction of this difference between the measured value displayed and the true weight (mass) of the sample, or the reduction the difference to an allowable level within the maximum permissible error limits.

Available Features

Your balance can be calibrated externally (menu item 1 9 1 or1 9 3) or internally (1 9 4).

External calibration can be performed

– with the pre-set weight value

(1 9 1), or

– with a user-defined weight value

(1 9 3)

Adjustment can be performed

– automatically following calibration

(1 10 1); or

– if desired, the adjustment operation can be started manually after calibration (1 10 2)

You can also configure whether the calibration mode

– will be activated according to the specific setting (by setting

1 9 1, 1 9 3 or 1 9 4), or

– can be selected by the user after pressing the q key (1 9 12).

You can have the balance automatically display an adjustment prompt after a certain time interval has elapsed since the last calibration/adjustment or when the ambient temperature changes by a defined amount.

You can also configure the balance to perform calibration and adjustment automatically (isoCAL) when the pre-set time and/or temperature limit is reached

(1 15 3 and 1 15 5).

You can have the calibration/ adjustment results documented in a ISO/GLP-compliant printout.

Calibration and Adjustment Sequence

In the Setup menu, you can configure the balance so that:

– calibration is always followed automatically by adjustment

(cal. -> auto adjust, 1 10 1), or

– you have the choice of ending the sequence or starting adjustment after calibration

(cal. -> man. adjust, 1 10 2).

If no deviation is determined during calibration, or the deviation is within the tolerance limits dictated by the degree of accuracy you require, it is not necessary to adjust the balance.

In this case, you can end the calibration/adjustment sequence after calibration. There are 2 soft keys active at this point:

– ext. adjust or int. adjust to start adjustment

– end to end the sequence

28

Operating the Balance isoCAL:

Automatic Calibration and Adjustment

Either 1 15 3 or 1 15 5 must be selected in the Setup menu.

The “isoCAL” display automatically begins flashing if the ambient temperature has changed in relation to the temperature at the time of the last calibration/adjustment, or after a defined time interval has elapsed. The balance is telling you that it wants to self-calibrate and adjust.

This adjustment prompt is activated when:

– The change in temperature or the elapsed time interval is greater than that shown in the table below

– The balance status does not correspond to Setup configurations

– No number or letter input is active

– The load on the pan has not been changed within the last 2 minutes

– The balance has not been operated within the last 2 minutes

– The weight on the pan must be no more than 2% at the most of the maximum capacity of the balance

When these requirements are met, the following symbols are displayed:

– C in the measured value line

– isoCAL in the symbol display

– G in the weight unit display

If the balance is not operated and the load is not changed, internal calibration and adjustment starts after

15 seconds have elapsed.

In the Setup menu, you can configure the balance so that after calibration and adjustment

– the application program must be restarted

(On + reset app. 1 15 3), or

– the application program resumes where it left off

(isoCAL on, 1 15 5)

In the Setup menu, you can also configure the balance so that it displays an adjustment prompt, but does not perform the calibration/ functions automatically

(Only adj. prompt, 1 15 2)

Deactivating the “isoCAL”

Function in Verified Balances:

Automatic calibration is also performed outside of the limited temperature range if you set menu code 1 15 1, “isoCAL function: off” or code 1 15 2, “only at adjustment prompt” in the Setup menu.

Determination of the

Repeatability (reproTEST)

Definition

Repeatability (reproducibility) is the ability of the balance to display identical readouts when it is loaded several times with the same weight under constant ambient conditions.

The standard deviation for a given number of measurements is used to quantify the repeatability.

Purpose

The “reproTEST” function automatically calculates the repeatability of results (based on 6 individual measurements). In this way, the balance determines one of the most important quantities in relation to the place of installation. The results are displayed with the balance’s accuracy.

Available Features

– Reference sample quantity “nRef” loaded from long-term memory when you turn on the balance

– Optional balance configuration in the Setup menu for automatically initializing this application and loading the most recent reference sample quantity

“nRef” and average piece weight

“wRef” when you turn on the balance (automatic initialization; menu code 3 10 1)

– Minimum load checked when the balance is initialized

(factory setting: 10 display increments; can only be changed by the Sartorius FastFactory)

– Reference sample quantity “nRef” entered using the keys

– Average piece weight “wRef” entered using the keys

– Storage parameter (level of accuracy with which the average piece weight “wRef” is stored) for piece count calculation can be configured

– Optional configuration for having the piece count and average piece weight output automatically via the data interface port after initialization or reference sample updating while running the

Counting program (print application parameters)

– Long-term storage of the last reference sample quantity “nRef” entered

– Long-term storage of the last average piece weight “wRef” entered with the corresponding reference sample quantity “nRef,” by configuring automatic initialization

33

Preparation

To calculate a piece count, the average weight of one piece must be known. This average piece weight can be entered into the

Counting program in one of three ways:

– The last reference sample quantity entered is loaded and displayed when you turn on the balance. Place the same number of parts on the balance and initialize the counting program;

– With automatic initialization switched on, the balance goes into the “counting” mode when you turn it on and loads the last average piece weight and corresponding reference sample quantity that were entered or calculated;

– Enter the average piece weight using the numeric keys and store it.

Reference Sample Updating

When the updat soft key is displayed during counting, this means you can have the average piece weight updated (while the piece count is displayed in the measured value line).

The updat soft key is displayed when:

– the balance has reached stability

– the current piece count is less than double the original piece count

– the current piece count is less than 100

– the internally calculated piece count (e.g., 17.24 pcs) differs from the nearest whole number (here:

17 pcs) by less than 0.3

Reference sample updating can be repeated several times with an approximately doubled piece count.

Animal Weighing V

Purpose

Use this program to determine the weights of unstable samples (e.g., live animals) or to determine weights under unstable ambient conditions.

In this program, the balance calculates the weight as the average of a defined number of individual weighing operations. These weighing operations are also known as “subweighing operations.”

Available Features

– Animal weighing started manually or automatically

– Optional balance configuration in the Setup menu for automatically initializing this application when you turn on the balance

– Minimum load threshold for starting animal weighing:

– 100 display increments for automatic start

– 50 display increments for manual start

– Start range: Automatic start of animal weighing operation when three successive subweights lie within a user-defined tolerance range (calm = 2%, normal = 5%, active = 10%)

– Number of weighing operations for calculation of an average mdef can be set before the beginning of each animal weighing operation

– Arithmetic average displayed as a result in the pre-set weight unit

(identified by the G symbol)

– Optional multiplication of the arithmetic average by a user-defined factor mul.

A circle “o” is displayed as weight unit and mul=xxxx is shown in the text line

– Toggling between weighed and calculated results by pressing w

– Automatic output via the interface port:

– Number of weighing operations mDef

– Multiplication factor Mul

– Automatic output of results via the interface port:

Over/Under Checkweighing O

Purpose

This program is used to check whether a sample corresponds to a pre-set target value or is within a specific tolerance range.

In addition to the display in the measured value line, the results are shown on the bar graph and can also be routed through the interface port via control lines for further electronic processing.

Available Features

– Lower tolerance limit (minimum), target value and upper limit

(maximum) stored in long-term memory

– Optional balance configuration in the Setup menu for automatically initializing this application and loading the values stored in long term memory for the target value and the upper and lower tolerance limits when you turn on the balance

– Enter target value and limits by placing a load on the balance or using the numeric keys

– Control in entering target and tolerance values, so that the upper limit

≥

the target

≥

the lower limit

≥

1 display increment

– Accuracy of a weight readout or keyboard input as target/ tolerance value stored corresponds to the display accuracy

– Optional balance configuration in the Setup menu for automatic output to the interface port

(print application parameters) of target value and tolerance limits when initialization is completed

– Control range for the balance’s data output port lines is 30% to

170% of the target value

– Control range can be set anywhere from 10% to infinity.

Control lines set when stability is reached within the control range; deleted only when you exit this application

– Optional configuration in the Setup menu for activation of control lines independent of weight value (weight within control range, stability reached)

– Toggling the display between weight readout and control

(checkweighing) display by pressing v. If the weight value exceeds tolerances, the measured value line shows the weight while the control display shows “LL” for “too low” or “HH” for “too high.”

– Toggle the text line display between weight value and control display, nominal value “setp” and tolerance values “min” and “max” by pressing the w key.

– Weight displayed on bar graph in relation to upper and lower limits and target value.

– Optional automatic printout of weight when it is within the control range at stability (auto print +/-).

After an automatic printout, the balance is blocked. Before you can generate the next printout, you must unblock the balance by unloading it (weight must be under 30% of the target) or by placing a load on the balance

(bringing the weight up to at least 170% of the target).

– Press c to delete the initialization parameters and end the over/under checkweighing program

46

Operating the Balance

Preparation

The checkweighing program requires a target value for comparison to the current value. This target has a tolerance range, which is defined by absolute weight values: upper and lower limits. These limits can be entered either by storing weights on the balance or via key input.

There are four control lines, called data output port lines, which are activated as follows: (see also the diagram at the right):

– lighter

– equal

– heavier

– set

The control range spans 30% to

170% of the target value. You can configure this parameter in the

Setup menu (4 3 +/- ctrl ports on) to select whether the control lines are:

– always on

– activated within the control range

– activated at stability

– activated at stability within the control range

This makes it possible, for example, to connect a simple indicator for the weighing results

(e.g., three different colors, one each for the weighing results: too light,

O.K., too heavy).

Response of Control Lines

During Checkweighing

Configurations:

– always on

– activated at stability

Configurations:

– activated within control range

– activated at stability within control range

Output port specifications

When not in use, the voltage level is high: >2.4 V/+2 mA

When in active use, the voltage level is low: <0.4 V/–2 mA.

Recalculation

Purpose

With this application program you can compensate for over-poured components in formulation.

If a component is over-poured when weighing in the individual formulation components, the mixture already poured cannot be used in its current composition. To avoid having to discard the materials weighed, you can adjust the proportions of the formulation to compensate for the over-pour.

When you use this application, the recalculation procedure is mainly performed by the balance.

Available Features

– Individual components (up to 99) weighed in with a readout showing from “0” to the desired component weight

– Transaction counter shows the next component expected

– Weighed components are stored, followed by automatic printout and taring

– Additive weighing of components with printout

– Toggle the display between component weight and total formulation weight (additive mode) after first component is stored

– Stored component weight displayed as true net weight for

2 seconds

– Enter a divisor before or during component weighing. For example, if the formulation has a total weight of 100 g, enter the divisor 10 to weigh in a total formulation of 1,000 g.

– If a component is over-poured, you can use the recalculation function to change the amount of this component indicated in the formulation by using plus or minus keys or numeric input. A factor is then calculated by which all components amounts are then adjusted.

– Recalculation factor displayed in the text line, with a warning symbol if the factor is not equal to 1.

– All components displayed with number and the amount (by weight) to be added in follow-on filling. Components displayed in sequence by the balance.

– Display of actual net weight during follow-on filling

– After the amounts of the components already weighed have been corrected, weighing continues according to the adjusted formulation amount.

The readout is recalculated

(updated) according to the divisor.

– You can repeat the over-pour correction procedure as often as necessary, in case other components are over-poured.

– After follow-on (corrective) filling, the total amount differs from that given for the formulation, but the proportion of components in relation to each other is the same.

– You can have the weight printed after each measurement

– Choose whether the current component weight or the tare value is printed after each measurement

– Individual component weights are printed as “Compxx.”

– Press c to exit the application program. The component memory is cleared and the sum of components printed as “S-Comp.”

Synchronization

During data communication between the balance and an on-line device

(computer), messages consisting of ASCII characters are transmitted via the interface. For error-free data communication, the parameters for baud rate, parity, handshake mode and character format must be the same for both units.

You can set these parameters in the Setup menu so that they match those of the on-line device. You can also define parameters in the balance to make data output dependent on various conditions.

The conditions that can be configured are described under each of the application program descriptions.

If you do not plug a peripheral device into the balance interface port, this will not generate an error message.

Handshake

The balance interface

(Sartorius Balance Interface = SBI) has transmit and receive buffers.

You can define the handshake parameter in the Setup menu:

– Hardware handshake (CTS)

– Software handshake

(XON, XOFF)

Hardware Handshake

With a 4-wire interface,

1 more character can be transmitted after CTS (Clear to Send).

Software Handshake

The software handshake is controlled via XON and XOFF.

When a device is switched on,

XON must be transmitted to enable any connected device to communicate.

When the software handshake is configured in the Setup menu, the hardware handshake becomes active after the software handshake.

The data transmission sequence is as follows:

Transmitting Device:

Once XOFF has been received, it prevents further transmission of characters. When XON in received, it re-enables the transmitting device to send data.

Receiving Device:

XOFF is transmitted after the

26th character has been stored.

To prevent too many control commands from being received at one time, XON is not transmitted until the buffer has transmitted all but

14 characters.

If the device addressed does not understand the control command, the SBI receiving device activates

DTR (Data Terminal Ready) after 6 more characters have been received. The busy signal is deactivated by XON (14 characters).

Activating Data Output

You can define the data output parameter so that output is activated either when a print command is received or automatically and synchronous with the balance display or at defined intervals

(see application program descriptions and auto print settings).

Data Output by Print Command

The print command can be transmitted by pressing p or by a software command (Esc P).

Automatic Data Output

In the “auto print” operating mode, data are output to the interface port without a print command. You can choose to have data output automatically at defined print intervals with or without the stability parameter. Whichever parameter you select, the data will be output as the readouts appear on the balance display. The display update frequency depends on both the model of the balance and the current operating state.

If you select the auto print setting, data will be transmitted immediately the moment you turn on the balance.

In the Setup menu, you can configure whether this automatic output can be stopped and started by pressing p.

Care and Maintenance

Service

Regular servicing by a Sartorius technician will extend the service life of your balance and ensure its continued weighing accuracy.

Sartorius can offer you service contracts, with your choice of regular maintenance intervals ranging from

1 month to 2 years.

Repairs

Repair work must be performed by trained service technicians.

Any attempt by untrained persons to perform repairs may lead to hazards for the user.

Cleaning

!

Make sure that no dust or liquid enters the balance housing

!

Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents

(solvents or similar agents)

● Unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet (mains supply)

● If you have an interface cable connected to the balance port, unplug it from the port

● Carefully remove any sample residue/spilled powder by using a brush or a hand-held vacuum cleaner

● Clean the balance using a piece of cloth which has been wet with a mild detergent (soap)

●

After cleaning, wipe down the balance with a soft, dry cloth

Replacing the Dust Cover

> Instructions for replacing a damaged dust cover

For LP Series Balances with a Round

Glass Draft Shield

● Remove the following parts from the balance:

– Draft shield cover

– Glass draft shield cylinder

– Weighing pan

– Pan support

– Shield disk: turn clockwise and lift off

– Old dust cover

● Place the new dust cover on the balance and press down on the front and back along the edges until it is seated firmly

● Place the shield disk on the balance and turn it counterclockwise

●

Follow the above instructions in reverse order when placing remaining parts back on the balance.

For LP Series Balances with a Rectangular Weighing Pan and a Weighing Capacity

≤

12 kg

● Remove the following parts from the balance:

– Weighing pan

– Pan draft shield

(depending on balance model)

– Old dust cover

● Place the new dust cover over the balance

● Follow the above instructions in reverse order when placing remaining parts back on the balance.

!

The dust cover must not touch the weighing pan

Safety Inspection

If there is any indication that safe operation of the balance with the AC adapter is no longer warranted:

● Turn off the power and disconnect the equipment from AC power immediately

> Lock the equipment in a secure place to ensure that it cannot be used for the time being

Safe operation of the balance with the AC adapter is no longer ensured when:

– there is visible damage to the AC adapter

– the AC adapter no longer functions properly

– The AC adapter has been stored for a relatively long period under unfavorable conditions

In this case, notify your nearest

Sartorius Service Center or the

International Technical Support Unit based in Goettingen, Germany.

Maintenance and repair work may only be performed by service technicians who are authorized by Sartorius and who

– have access to the required maintenance manuals

– have attended the relevant service training courses

Declarations of Conformity

The C Mark on Sartorius Equipment

In 1985, the Council of the European

Community approved a resolution concerning a new approach to the technical harmonization and standardization of national regulations. The organization for monitoring compliance with the directives and standards concerning the C marking is governed in the individual EU Member States through the implementation of the EC

Directives adopted by the respective national laws. As of December

1993, the scope of validity for all

EC Directives has been extended to the Member States of the

European Union and the Signatories of the Agreement on the European

Economic Area.

Sartorius complies with the EC

Directives and European Standards in order to supply its customers with weighing instruments that feature the latest advanced technology and provide many years of trouble-free service.

The C mark may be affixed only to weighing instruments and associated equipment that comply with the applicable Directive(s):

Council Directive 89/336/EEC

“Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)”

Acceptable European Standards:

Limitation of emissions:

EN 50081-1

Residential, commercial and light industry

EN 50081-2

Industrial environment

Defined immunity to interference:

EN 50082-1

Residential, commercial and light industry

EN 50082-2

Industrial environment

Important Note:

The operator shall be responsible for any modifications to Sartorius equipment and for any connections of cables or equipment not supplied by Sartorius and must check and, if necessary, correct these modifications and connections. On request, Sartorius will provide information on the minimum operating specifications (in accordance with the

Standards listed above for defined immunity to interference).

Council Directive 73/23/EEC

“Electrical Equipment Designed for Use within Certain Voltage Limits”

Applicable European Standards:

EN 60950

Safety of information technology equipment including electrical business equipment

EN 61010

Safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory use

Part 1: General requirements

If you use electrical equipment in installations and under ambient conditions requiring higher safety standards, you must comply with the provisions as specified in the applicable regulations for installation in your country.

Weighing Instruments for Use in Legal Metrology:

Directive 90/384/EEC “Nonautomatic Weighing Instruments”

This Directive regulates the determination of mass in legal metrology.

For the respective Declaration of

Conformity for weighing instruments that have been verified by Sartorius for use as legal measuring instruments and that have an EC Type-

Approval Certificate, see the page after next.

This Directive also regulates the performance of the EC verification by the manufacturer, provided that an EC Type-Approval Certificate has been issued and the manufacturer has been accredited by an officer or a Notified Body registered at the Commission of the European

Community for performing such verification.

The legal basis allowing Sartorius to perform EC verification is constituted by the EC Council Directive No.

90/384/ EEC on non-automatic weighing instruments that has been in effect since January 1, 1993, in the Internal Market as well as by the

Certificate of Accreditation of the

Sartorius AG Quality Management

System issued by the Metrology

Department of the Regional

Administration Office of Lower

Saxony, Germany (“Niedersächsisches Landesverwaltungsamt

-Eichwesen”) on February 15, 1993.
