Thank you very much for the confidence you have shown in our products by choosing a METTLER TOLEDO precision or analytical balance. To obtain complete satisfaction from your balance, it is essential that you read through these operating instructions carefully.

These operating instructions apply to balances of the AM and PM series with a weighing range up to 6 kg. Although the operating procedures for these balances are identical, differences exist regarding the weighing range, the readability accuracy and the weighing pan or platform.

Enclosed with these operating instructions is the booklet «Technical data and accessories», which also contains possibilities of the METTLER

TOLEDO AM/PM balances.

The METTLER DeltaTrac

This dynamic graphic indicator with 60 radial segments is incorporated in all balance models. METTLER DeltaTrac shows you a graphic representation of the numerical values shown in the digital display.

With absolute weighing, subtractive weighing, weighing-in and formula weighing, the dynamic display indicates the weighing

range used up and that still remaining.

With the aid of METTLER DeltaTrac you can check fill quantities and determine deviations from a definable target weight in percent.

You can always see the tolerance limits with correct signs, as well as positive or negative deviations (see «Applications»).

When used together with METTLER TOLEDO Pacs, the METTLER DeltaTrac can also perform additional functions (see booklet «Technical data and accessories»).

Adjustments

Menu

Adapt your balance to the type of weighing (Weighing process adapter)…

16

Weighing mode

With this adapter you will optimize the display speed of the last digits as a function of weighing mode: For instance, for fine dispensing of powders even the last place of the digital display must be continuously recognizable. This is not the case for absolute weighing; the weighing process adapter thus suppresses the display during the weighing process. The result with all decimal places will appear only when it is stable.

Weighing process adapter

Weighing process

Fine dispensing (weighing-in) of fine powder or small quantities of liquids

Remarks

For slow filling-in of weighing goods all decimal places of the display are available. The weight increase can thus be followed easier.

Universal

Absolute weighing

Standard setting. With DeltaDisplay –on– , the last decimal place is suppressed in coarse dispensing, see page 25.

In this setting, you can rapidly check a weight. Only the final result appears in the display. «------» is displayed during the unstable phase.

Animal weighing

Your balance is now operating in the animal weighing mode, e.g.

movements of a live animal do not influence the display. The measurement values are averaged during a certain time period and subsequently indicated on the display.

Starting of measuring cycles and setting of measuring time are explained in section «Applications, animal weighing».

Counting in or out of a container, percent formula weighing of powders or liquids, plus/minus checks of fill quantities, weighing in grams or in a second, selectable unit, or even animal weighing: all this and more can be performed with the applications built in as standard. You can choose between the following applications:

g ct

Changing weight units

You can switch between two selected weight units, e.g. between gram and carat.

Animal weighing

Animal weighings can also be performed simply and rapidly.

Piece counting

The balance can be used for piece counting; 10 is the fixed reference value.

p¨INT

Print/transfer command

Print/transfer command can be initiated with the control bar.

%

Plus/minus and percent weighing

The balance can also be used for plus/ minus checks. If your balance is used for checks in %, the METTLER DeltaTrac indicates the deviation from the preset target weight, the tolerance limits of +/-

2,5 % and their violations. You can of course perform the usual percent weighings simply and rapidly.
