Installation Instructions

The ME/SE balances are designed to provide reliable weighing results under normal ambient conditions in the laboratory and in industry. Choose the right location to set up your balance by observing the following so that you will be able to work with added speed and accuracy:

– Set up the balance on a completely even surface on a low-vibration balance table or wall console

– Avoid placing the balance in close proximity to a heater or otherwise exposing the balance to heat or direct sunlight, as this can considerably increase the temperature inside the draft shield (greenhouse effect), resulting in incorrect readouts due to convection currents, turbulence and buoyancy effects.

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

– Avoid brief fluctuations in room temperature

– Protect the balance from aggressive chemical vapors

– Do not expose the balance to extreme moisture

Linearization after Transport

After transporting the balance, its linearity may be outside the allowable tolerances

(please refer to the “Specifications” in the “Overview” chapter). After transporting the balance, be sure to perform internal linearization. Repeat this process to obtain optimal accuracy. For directions on this procedure, please refer to the section on “Linearization.”

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.

Setting Up the Balance ME215/235/254/414/614

§ Place the components listed below inside the weighing chamber in the order given:

– 1) Shield plate

– 2) Position the weighing pan and turn to the left or right until it snaps into place

– 3) Shield disk (ME235S/P only)

$ Note: the shield disk minimizes the effects of drafts within the weighing chamber

Remote Operation of the Display and Control Unit

§ Unplug the cables, turn the balance on its side and lay it on a padded surface to avoid damaging the weighing system and draft shield

§ Use an Allen wrench to remove the three fastening screws

§ Remove the display unit and attach the connecting cable

> Length of the connecting cable: 44 cm (17 inches)

$ For information on longer cables, please see the “Accessories” section

– Original Sartorius AC adapters and power cords

– AC adapters with a registered approval rating from a national testing laboratory

$ To use a main feeder cable from the ceiling or to mount a CEE plug, have a certified electrician install it

$ To use an external rechargeable battery pack, refer to the “Accessories” in the

“Overview” chapter

§ Insert the AC adapter plug with the angle facing downward into the jack on the balance

17

18

§ Plug power cord into the AC adapter

§ To power the balance with AC current, plug the power cord into a wall outlet (mains supply)

Charging the Rechargeable Battery for Saving Data:

All data is saved in the battery-backed memory. When initially operating the balance, leave it connected to AC power for one day to charge the battery. When the balance is disconnected from AC power, the balance-generated data will remain stored for approximately three months. In the standby mode, data is retained in the memory via the power supply. Be sure to print out data before storing your balance for a relatively long period.

Safety Precautions

The AC adapter rated to Class 2 can be plugged into any wall outlet without requiring any additional safety precautions. The ground or earth terminal is connected to the scale housing, which can be additionally grounded, if required.

The data interface is also electrically connected to the balance housing (ground).

Note:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Sartorius AG could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.

Connecting Electronic Peripheral Devices

§ Make absolutely sure to unplug the balance from AC power before you connect or disconnect a peripheral device (printer or PC) to or from an interface port

Warmup Time

Each time you move your balance to another location, you must condition it for at least

12 hours to the new location. To deliver exact results, the balance must warm up for at least 12 hours after initial connection to AC power. Only after this time will the balance have reached the required operating temperature.

Using Balances Verified as Legal Measuring Instruments in the EU*:

$ The balance must warm up for at least 24 hours after initial connection to AC power

$ Warmup time each time power is turned on the ME614S-0CE, ME414S-0CE: at least 30 minutes

$ Always wait for the power-on adjustment routine to be completed: for requirements see page 63.

* including the Signatories of the Agreement on the European Economic Area

Antitheft Locking Device

To fasten an antitheft locking device, use the lug located on the rear panel of the balance.

§ Secure the balance at the place of installation, e.g., with a chain or a lock

Leveling the Balance

Purpose:

– To compensate for unevenness at the place of installation

– To achieve perfectly horizontal positioning of the balance for consistent repeatability of the weighing results

Always level the balance again any time it has been moved.

Only the 2 front feet are used for leveling.

§ Turn the leveling feet as shown in the diagram until the air bubble is centered exactly within the circle of the level indicator

> Several leveling steps are usually required

Shipping the Balance

$

The balance must be disconnected from power before preparing it for shipment.

Disconnect the AC adapter and all interface cables from the balance.

Transport Over Short Distances

§

Place one hand under the display and control unit and the other under the back of the balance. Lift the balance carefully and carry it to the new location.

$

Avoid subjecting the balance to vibration or shocks (impact).

!

Do not lift the balance by the draft shield or the front panel, as this can result in damage.

General Instructions for “Analytical Weighing”

Handling Samples and Containers

The sample should be conditioned to the temperature inside the balance.

This is the only way to avoid errors caused by air buoyancy and deviations caused by convection currents at the surface of the sample.

Since these effects increase proportionally to the volume and surface of the sample, make sure that the size of the tare vessel selected is appropriate for the initial sample.

Never use your bare hands to touch samples to be weighed. In addition to the effect of the temperature, the extremely hygroscopic behavior of fingerprints left on the sample will otherwise cause considerable interference during weight measurement.

Use forceps or a similar utensil that is appropriate to place your sample carefully on the pan. Working with your balance requires a steady hand and a smooth, uninterrupted technique.

If the weighing chamber has not been opened for a relatively long period, it may have a temperature different from that of the balance’s surrounding environment. When you open the weighing chamber, a change in temperature will inevitably occur, due to the laws of physics, and may show up as a change in the weight readout.

Therefore, we recommend that before you begin the actual weighing series you open and close the weighing chamber at the same rate as you will be doing during weighing. After the weighing chamber has been closed, the weight readout will usually stabilize after about 8 seconds.

The accuracy of the weight readouts will increase as you continue weighing with greater consistency.

Weighing Electrostatically Charged

Samples and Containers

Major measuring errors can occur when electrostatically charged samples and containers are weighed. This problem particularly involves samples that have extremely poor conductivity (glass, plastic, filters) since they can discharge electrostatic – i.e., friction-induced – charges only over a relatively long period of time. The result is an interaction of forces among the charges adhering to the sample and the stationary components of the balance

(weighing chamber base plate, draft shield construction, balance housing). This is noticeable when the weight readout drifts.

At high humidity, this effect is not very pronounced or may not occur at all, due to the thin layer of water that condenses on the sample and, through conductive discharge, counteracts interfering static electricity.

In addition to taking purely mechanical counteractive measures (protecting the sample using a special antistatic weighing pan – see the “Accessories”), you can neutralize the surface charges by

“bombarding” them with ions of the opposite polarity (see page 53 for instructions on activating the ionizer).

This is a highly effective procedure for eliminating static electricity.

The balance’s environment, including the operator, can considerably interfere with weighing results, due to static electricity.

The balances of the ME/SE series have been designed to counteract this phenomenon: the glass surfaces of the draft shield have a special metallic coating.

The rear panel of the balance has a terminal for connecting an equipotential grounding conductor. It is used for additional grounding of a peripheral device (for example, a vibrating spatula).

This terminal is designed for single grounding wires up to .25” standard gauge or 6 mm

2 stranded wires and for .18” standard gauge or 4mm

2 stranded wires.

Weighing Magnetic or Magnetizable

Samples

It is technically impossible to avoid the use of magnetizable materials in the manufacture of balances. Ultimately, the operating principle of high-resolution balances is based on electromagnetic force compensation of the load placed on the weighing pan.

When magnetic or magnetizable samples or containers (e.g., a beaker with a stirrer) are weighed, interactions among the above-mentioned components of the balance may occur, distorting weight readouts.

Unlike deviations caused by electrostatic charges, magnetic interference is usually constant over time. However, it is sensitive to and dependent on the position of the sample container on the weighing pan and is also characterized by poor repeatability.

To reduce the effect described above, we recommend increasing the distance between the sample and the weighing pan by inserting a non-magnetizable material between them (the reduction in force is proportional to the quadrate of the distance).

In special cases, soft-magnetic plates should be used to shield against interfering magnetic effects.

In the presence of extremely strong magnetic fields – for instance, when measuring the susceptibility of a sample in an electromagnet – you should use the below-balance weighing port, which comes standard on your balance.

Device Parameters

Opening and Closing the Draft Shield

Purpose

The ME/SE balance is a high-resolution weighing instrument. It has a draft shield so that convection currents cannot affect the weighing result. To load a sample on and remove it from the weighing pan, a draft shield door must be opened and closed. You can do this in various ways, depending on the menu setting you select.

Features

– The draft shield doors can be opened and closed at any time, regardless of the application used

– The draft shield doors can be opened and closed by pressing the respective keys, by activating an external switch or by sending a command to the balance’s interface port

– The draft shield doors can be set so that they operate automatically in one of the following ways when a specific balance function is performed, such as taring

(zeroing):

– Close automatically

– Close automatically, then open

This function can be deactivated.

If not, the draft shield doors will close automatically if the balance has not been used for 2 minutes (protects chamber from dust).

– The function “Close draft shield automatically when function is activated” can be combined with functions and applications that require the “with stability” parameter in order for weights to be accepted:

– Turn on the balance (tare when the power goes on)

– Tare after stability

– Print on request after stability

– Start all adjustment functions

– 2nd tare memory

– Manual weight storage mode for the following functions:

– Counting, weighing in percent, recalculation, density determination, differential weighing

– Checkweighing, time-controlled functions with storage mode

– Totalizing, formulation, statistics

– A lower weight resolution is possible when the draft shield doors are open.

– The left and right K keys for operating the draft shield doors can

– have the same function

– have separate functions

– be switched off.

Static Electricity Eliminator

(Ionizer) J

Purpose

Ionization of air (i.e., charging the air with ions of both positive and negative charges) causes the air surrounding a sample to become electrically conductive.

Charges are neutralized in the air stream or grounded.

Be especially careful when weighing electrostatically charged samples.

Features

– The ionizer can be turned on and off independently of the position of the draft shield doors

– When the draft shield doors are open, the static electricity eliminator (ionizer) will shut off after the preset time has elapsed. However, the ionizing time will start over if the static electricity eliminator is still running when a door closes.

– The static electricity eliminator (ionizer) can be configured in the Setup menu so that it will stay on only for a certain time.

– When the ionizer is active, this is indicated by the flashing symbol J

(flashes from the outside toward the inside and vice versa)

Extra Functions

Acoustic Signal

An acoustic signal is emitted when you press a key. When the key pressed is allowed, the signal is a single beeptone; when it is not allowed, this is signaled by a double-beep (key does not initiate a function). In the Setup menu, you can configure whether

– the acoustic signal should sound (

On

)

– the acoustic signal should not sound

(

Off

)

Power-On Mode

You can configure the balance so that when a power supply is connected,

– the balance is off

(

Off/on/standby or

Off/on

)

– the balance switches on automatically

(

Auto on

)

You can also set the configurations so that when the balance is turned off after use, it is

– off (

Off/on

)

– in the standby mode

(

Off/on/standby

)

After you turn on the balance, a self-test of the functions is run

(

TEST is displayed in the text line; the bar graph is shown)

Calibration, Adjustment, Linearization

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 of the difference to an allowable level within maximum permissible error limits.

Linearization is the procedure used to eliminate the deviation from weight readout plotted on the balance’s ideal characteristic calibration curve and the actual weight readout. In other words, linearization reduces the amount of error of a weight displayed to its maximum permissible error limits. The ideal characteristic curve is a straight line plotted between zero load and maximum load.

Using Verified Balances as Legal

Measuring Instruments in the EU*:

Before using your balance as a legal measuring instrument, you must perform

“internal calibration” at the place of installation after the warmup period.

* including the Signatories of the

Agreement on the European Economic

Area

Features

You can configure whether the calibration mode

– will be activated according to the specific setting (external/internal) or

– can be selected by the user after pressing the

Cal soft key:

Selection mode

.

Your balance can be calibrated externally: (Balance menu: CAL key function; menu item

Ext. cal./adj.; factory-def. wt. or

Ext. cal./adj.; user-defined wt.

; or internally: (

Internal cal./adjustment

).

Adjustment can be performed

– automatically following calibration:

Cal., then auto adjust.

or

– if desired, the adjustment operation can be started manually after calibration:

Cal., then manual adjust

Linearization is performed if you have selected

Internal linearization in the Setup menu or you have set this using the

Selection mode

.

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

The “isoCAL” display automatically begins flashing if the ambient temperature changes 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 adjust itself.

This automatic calibration and adjustment prompt is activated when:

– The change in temperature is greater than1.5 Kelvin or the elapsed time interval is greater than 4 hours

– The balance Setup mode is not active

– No number or letter input is active

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

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

Repeatability Test (reproTEST)

Definition

Repeatability 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 determines the repeatability (also called

“reproducibility”) 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.

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:

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

– 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;

– When the automatic initialization parameter (see previous page), is on (Setup: > Printout:

Application-defined output: Autoprint upon initialization: All values; see page 39), 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.

Reference Sample Updating

You can have the average piece weight updated during counting (with the piece count displayed) if “AWP update” is set to “manual” or “automatic” in the Setup menu.

Manual updating can only be performed when the

Update soft key is displayed.

Reference sample updating must be completed before using an application program from

Application 3.

The

Update soft key is displayed when:

– the balance has stabilized (stability symbol displayed)

– the current piece count is not more or less than double the original piece count

– the current piece count is more than 100

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

(in this case: 17) by less than ± 0.3

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

Weighing in Percent

B

Purpose

This application allows you to obtain weight readouts in percent that are in proportion to a reference weight.

Alternatively, you can have the value displayed as a difference in percent between the weight on the balance and the reference weight, or as a special ratio1 or ratio2.

You can use this application in combination with any program chosen from Application 2 (checkweighing, time-controlled functions) and one from Application 3

(totalizing, formulation, statistics) as well as with the extra functions.

Features

– Reference percentage “pRef” loaded from long-term memory when you turn on the balance

– Automatic initialization of this application and loading the most recent reference percentage “pRef” entered with reference weight “Wxx%” when you turn on the balance (Setup:

Application parameters: Auto-start app. when power goes on: On)

– Value displayed as:

– Residual quantity (portion)

– Difference (deviation)

– Ratio1

– Ratio2 depending on the selected Setup menu code

– Reference percentage “pRef” entered manually

– Store the current weight as the reference percentage weight “Wxx%” for initializing the weighing-in-percent application program

– Reference weight “Wxx%” entered manually

– Parameter for “Weight storage accuracy” (rounding-off factor) for storing the reference weight “W100%” in percentage calculation can be configured

– Configuration of decimal places displayed with a percentage

– If selected in the Setup menu, automatic output of the reference weight “Wxx%” and reference percentage in the text line and via the data interface port after initialization of the weighing-in-percent program (Setup: Printout: Applicationdefined output: Auto print upon initialization: All values)

Loss (percent-DIFF:) = (Current weight – 100% weight) / 100% weight x 100%

Ratio1 (percent-Ratio 1:)

Ratio2 (percent Ratio 2:)

= (100% weight – current weight) / current weight x 100%

= 100% weight / current weight x 100%

Buoyancy:

Equations Used to Determine Density

Rho = (Wa · (Rhofl – LA)) / ((Wa – Wfl) · Corr) + LA

For the buoyancy method, a factor of 0.99983 (factory setting) is used to allow for the buoyancy caused by the bars of the sample holder of the YDK

01 (LP) Density Determination Kit. This factor is yielded by allowing for this equation: buoyancy of bars/wires = 2 · d

2

/ D

2

(Wa – Wfl)

The equation considers the following variables: the number of bars or wires, the bar/wire diameter of the sample holder, and the inner diameter of the vessel used.

The correction factor 0.99983 is yielded by 1 – 2 · d

2

/ D

2 where: 2 = number of wires/bars d = bar diameter (0.7 mm) for YDK01

D = inner diameter of the vessel (76 mm) for YDK01

If you are using different vessels or other density kits, press the

Param.

soft key to enter any necessary changes to this calculation factor.

To determine the density of a solid according to the buoyancy method with our YDK 01 (LP) Density Determination Kit, make sure to use the beaker with a 76 mm diameter.

Displacement: Rho = (Wa · (Rhofl – LA)) / (Wfl · Corr) + LA

For the displacement method, a factor of 1.00000 (factory setting) is used to allow for the buoyancy caused by a wire suspended in the liquid.

If you are using different vessels or other density kits, press the

Param.

soft key to enter any necessary changes in this calculation factor.

The equation considers the following variables: the number of wires or bars, the wire/bar diameter of the sample holder, and the inner diameter of the vessel used.

This factor is yielded by: Corr = 1 –

χ

· d

2

/ D

2 where:

χ

= number of wires d = wire diameter

D = inner diameter of the vessel

Rhofl = density of the liquid causing buoyancy

Wa = weight of sample in air

Wfl = weight of the sample in liquid/buoyancy of sample

Corr = correction for buoyancy produced by the immersed wires or bars of the sample holder:

– = 0.99983 for the buoyancy method

– = 1 for the displacement method

LA = correction for air buoyancy = 0.0012 g/ccm

Pycnometer: Rho = (Wa · (Rhofl – LA)) / (Wfl + Wa – Wr) + LA where: Rhofl = density of the reference liquid

Wa = weight of the sample

Wfl = weight of the reference liquid

Wr = weight of sample + the reference liquid

LA = correction for air buoyancy = 0.0012 g/ccm

Differential Weighing

Purpose

This application enables you to compare samples before and after a given treatment (such as drying or ashing) and determine the difference in weight.

There are different procedures available for this application:

– Collect all data (tare, initial weight, and backweighing result) for each sample individually (menu setting “Weighing sequence: Individual weighing”)

– Save the tare weights and initial weights for all samples first, then perform backweighing (menu setting

“Combined weighing”)

– Save the tare weights for all samples first, then determine the initial weight of each sample and, finally, perform backweighing (serial weighing)

Features

– 4 different sequences for measuring the tare weights, initial sample weights and the backweights (backweighing result):

– Individual weighing

– Consecutive individual weighing

– Combined weighing

– Serial weighing

– Choice of weighing sequence by selecting this parameter in the Setup menu or by pressing the

Wg.seq

soft key

(if the “Weighing sequence key” option is set)

– Perform up to 99 backweighing routines on a single sample

– Differential weighing with or without tare weighing (not necessary for measuring coatings or lamination layers)

– Define the number of decimal places displayed for calculated results

– Define whether autosaving weight values is dependent on the stability parameter

– Define whether the minimum load for autosave is dependent on the display

– List function, with

Display page for lots:

Generating Printouts Manually

The individual printout is generated when the r key is pressed while there is a tare, initial or backweight on the balance, or when d is pressed to toggle applications.

You can generate the configured printout manually after backweighing if you press the r key while the display page for the results is shown.

To generate the statistics printout, press the r key

– when the display page for statistics is shown,

– when the samples with a desired number of backweighing operations is selected

(for example, statistics on all samples with 2 backweighing operations).

Air Buoyancy Correction

G

Purpose

This application enables you to correct weighing errors that occur due to air buoyancy when you work with weights of various densities.

You can use this application in combination with a program chosen from Application 2 (checkweighing, time-controlled functions) and one from

Application 3 (totalizing, statistics).

Air buoyancy correction cannot be combined with the formulation and 2nd tare memory applications.

The air density value is required for calculation of the air buoyancy correction factor. Because not every location has an air density of 1.2 kg/m

3

, the density of a particular location can be determined using the air density determination routine.

Features

Buoyancy correction:

– Automatic initialization of this application and loading the density of a weighed object stored in the nonvolatile memory,

RhoW and the air density

RhoA last saved; display of

RhoW in the line for text.

– Automatic start of air buoyancy correction and display of the a symbol for calculated values, if selected in the

Setup menu (Setup: Auto-start application when power goes on: Yes)

– Input of the density of a sample or an object using the numeric keys and by pressing the

RhoW soft key. This activates air buoyancy correction, if not yet activated.

– Input range for the density of a sample:

0.1 g/cm

3

– 22.5 g/cm

3

.

– Storage of density values (

RhoW and

RhoA

) in the non-volatile memory.

– Deactivation of air buoyancy correction by toggling to the “Weighing” mode

(weighing without air buoyancy correction)

Air Density Determination:

– To determine the air density, use the special weight set, YSS45, which is available as an accessory. This weight set consists of one steel and one aluminum weight and is available with the “Weight Specifications” certificate.

The densities of the steel (8.0) and aluminum references (2.7) are preset values and cannot be changed.

– Determine the air density by

– entering the density using the numeric keys

– entering the specifications for steel/aluminum and weighing the steel and aluminum weights

(accessory: YSS45)

– If you enter an air density using the numeric keys, the reference values

(density and weight) for steel and aluminum are deleted from the display page “AIR D. PARAMETRS.”

– After the air density has been determined and saved by pressing the

Start soft key, the reference values are printed out

– Preset value for air density: 1.2 kg/m

3

– Range for entering air density values:

1.0 kg/m

3

– 1.4 kg/m

3

.

– You can activate or deactivate air density determination in the Setup menu, thus blocking access to this program routine.

– The air density is generally determined in grams as the weight unit.

– If air density determination is deactivated, the air density

RhoA will be displayed for 2 seconds in the text line when you press the

RhoA soft key.

– After the air density has been determined, you can save the value, but this is not required

– You can block storage of the specifications (references) in the Setup menu.

(Setup: Application parameters:

Application 1: Air buoyancy correction:

Change steel/aluminum references)

– The density values on the display page for reference values are standard, inalterable values

Extra Functions

Second Tare Memory

(Preset Tare)

Purpose

With this function, you can store the weight currently on the balance as a tare weight, or use the numeric keys to enter a number for a preset tare weight.

You can use this function in combination with a program from Application 1

(such as counting, weighing in percent), one from Application 2 (checkweighing, time-controlled functions) and one from Application 3 (totalizing, formulation, statistics) as well as with the other extra functions.

Features

– Store a weight on the balance in the second tare memory (without numeric input)

– Store a numeric value in the second tare memory (input using the numeric keys)

– Identify a net value as

Net1 when there is a value stored in the second tare memory

– You can assign this function to the fourth or fifth soft key (from the right); i.e., F4 or F5

The soft key designation for this function is:

PT1/T1

– The container-tare function can be activated in the Setup menu. Any load subsequently placed on the scale that is more than 70% of the tare weight is automatically recognized as a container and the scale is tared automatically.

– Automatic printout when a value is stored or input (see “Configuring the

Balance”)

SQmin Function

Purpose

To display the allowable minimum sample quantity “SQmin” in accordance with the United States Pharmacopeia

(USP). According to USP guidelines, the uncertainty of measurement may not exeed 0.1 % of the sample quantity when substances are weighed with the highest degree of accuracy for volume determination. This additional function ensures that weight results lie within defined tolerance limits corresponding to the requirements of your quality assurance system.

Features

– The service technician will determine the required minimum sample quantity based on your quality assurance requirements at the location where the balance is set up. Afterwards, he will store this value in the balance. This setting cannot be changed by the user.

Once he has finished programming the balance, the service technician will prepare a “Test in Accordance with the

USP” certificate, on which he will record the measurements and the minimum sample quantity for the balance. If you use the SQmin function, you can be sure that the weight results will correspond to the specifications on the certificate and, therefore, USP guidelines.

– Displaying the minimum sample quantity:

The value is shown in the next line for

4 seconds after the “SQmin” soft key is pressed or the value is constantly displayed in place of the bar graph.

– This function can be assigned to either the fourth or fifth soft key from the right (F4 or F5). The soft key should then be labeled with

SQmin

.

– If the minimum sample quantity has not been reached:

The

SQmin soft key will flash inversely.

Weights will be marked with an asterisk

“*” in the printout.

– Header of GLP-complicant records: The minimum sample quantity entered for

“SQmin” can be printed out in addition.

– The SQmin function can be used only when the highest resolution for the basic unit of the balance has been set.

Interfaces

Purpose

The ME/SE series balances have two interfaces that allow weights and other measured values, calculated values and parameter settings to be output to a printer, PC or checkweighing display, etc. Control commands (for foot switch functions) and alphanumeric inputs

(such as those from an online bar code scanner) can also be input in the balance via the two interfaces.

Features

– ME/SE series balances have two serial interface ports:

– Serial printer port (PRINTER –

Serial Out)


(PERIPHERALS – Serial I/O)

– The serial printer port has a permanently installed 25-contact D-Sub female connector (RS-232)

– The following printers can be connected to this printer port:

– YDP02

– YDP03

– YDP01IS

– YDP01IS Label

– YDP02IS

– YDP02IS Label

– Universal

– YDP04IS

– YDP04IS Label

!

You may need to use an external power supply to operate peripheral devices.

– In addition, the following equipment can be connected to the printer port:

– Remote display

– Hand switch

– Foot switch

– External checkweighing display

– Bar code scanner*

– Keyboard*

* using the YCC01-0024M01 adapter

(see “Accessories”)

– The serial communications port has a

25-contact D-Sub female connector as a standard feature. This connector can be exchanged for either of the two female connectors below:

– 12-contact round connector (RS-485 for xBPI; RS-232 for SBI, xBPI)

– 9-contact D-Sub connector for direct connection of a PC

– Both the 12-contact and the

9-contact female interface connectors are additionally equipped with a 5-pin male connector to directly interface an external bar code scanner or a keyboard.

– The serial communications port can be used in the following modes:

– SBI

– xBPI (BPI)

– The following equipment can be connected to this serial communications port:

– Printer not verifiable for legal metrology in the EU

– PC

– Remote display

– Hand switch

– Foot switch

– External checkweighing display

– T-connector

– Bar code scanner*

– Keyboard*

* if the 25-contact D-Sub female connector is installed, you will need to use the YCC01-0024M01 adapter

(see “Accessories”)

– Printouts generated from the application programs or by the configurable print function can be output to the serial printer port or to the serial communications port or to both.

– If you have selected the automatic print mode, data will be output to the serial communications port; printouts generated by the application programs will then only be output to the serial printer port.

– In the xBPI mode, the serial communications port can operate independently of the serial printer port

(this means you can transfer data from the balance to a PC and use this PC to control your balance while generating printouts via the serial printer port).

– In the SBI mode, you can use ESC commands from your PC to control the balance via the serial communications port.

For printing an individual value on request, either by pressing the print key r or by sending an ESC P print command, the particular menu setting determines which data port will be selected for data output.

Serial Communications Port

Purpose

The ME/SE balance has a serial communications port (labeled

“PERIPHERALS”) to which you can connect a computer, a remote display or an external checkweighing display.

You can use an on-line computer to change, start and/or monitor the functions of the balance and the application programs.

The communications port also provides data output port lines for the over/under checkweighing program. This port can also be used to connect a hand or foot switch.

!

Warning When Using Pre-wired

RS-232 Connecting Cables

RS-232 cables purchased from other manufacturers often have incorrect pin assignments for use with Sartorius balances. Be sure to check the pin assignment against the chart before connecting the cable, and disconnect any lines marked “Internally Connected” (e.g., pin

6). Failure to do so may damage or even completely ruin your balance and/or peripheral device.

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/DTR)

– 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:

Balance ––– byte –––> Computer

(trans––– byte –––> (receiving mitting ––– byte –––> device) ––– byte –––> device)

<––– XOFF –––

––– byte –––>

––– byte –––>

…

(Pause)

…

<––– XON –––

––– byte –––>

––– byte –––>

––– byte –––>

––– byte –––>

Transmitting Device:

Once XOFF has been received, it prevents further transmission of characters.

When XON is 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 is almost empty.

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 synchronously with the balance display or at defined intervals (see application program descriptions and auto print setting).

Data Output by Print Command

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

Automatic Data Output

In the “auto print” operating mode, data is output to the interface port without an extra 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 status.

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 r.

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.

The frequency of maintenance intervals depends on the operating conditions and your tolerance requirements.

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.

!

Warning!

Particles drawn in by the fan can build up inside the balance housing. If you are using this balance in the chemical industry, be sure to handle or treat defective parts of the balance or those to be cleaned according to your country’s current rules and regulations.

!

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 a data cable connected to the interface, unplug it from the balance

§ Carefully remove any sample residue/ spilled powder 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

§ Use a commercially available glass cleaning agent to clean the draft shield doors

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

§ Use a small hand-held car vacuum cleaner with a mini-hose attached to carefully remove spilled powder beneath the shield disk

§ Use blotting paper to remove spilled liquid

!

Do not use forceps or similar utensils behind the platen of the draft shield.

Important note: the weighing system is hermetically separated from the area of the draft shield platen that prevents spillage or other impurities from entering the system.

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 power cord from an electrical outlet

(mains supply) immediately

> Lock the AC adapter and power cord in a secure place to ensure that the equipment cannot be used during this time

Safe operation of the balance with the

AC adapter is no longer ensured when:

– there is visible damage to the AC adapter or power cord

– the AC adapter no longer functions properly

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

In any of these cases, 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

We recommend that the balance together with the AC adapter be inspected by a qualified Sartorius service technician according to the following checklist:

– Leakage current <0.05 mA measured by a properly calibrated multimeter

– Insulation resistance >7 megaohms measured with a constant voltage of at least 500 V at a 500 kohm load

The duration and number of measurements should be determined by a qualified Sartorius service technician according to the particular ambient and operational conditions for the AC adapter. Such inspection should be performed at least once a year.
