4.5.2 Battery operation

The balance can also operate with batteries, especially useful in the case of regular power outages. Under normal operation conditions, the balance works independently of the AC power line for up to 8 hours for balances with a readability of 1 - 100 mg and 2 hours for balances with a readability of 0.1 mg (using alkaline batteries). If the battery run time is not sufficient it is recommended to use lithium batteries (e.g.,

Energizer™ ULTIMATE LITHIUM), achieving a battery run time of more than 8 hours.

Immediately after the AC power supply is interrupted, e.g., by withdrawing the power plug or if there is a power failure, the balance switches automatically to battery operation. Once the AC power supply is restored, the balance reverts automatically to AC operation.

20 Installation and Putting into Operation​​ Precision and Analytical Balances

It is also possible to use rechargeable batteries. Charging batteries inside the balance is not possible.

Rechargeable batteries have a lower voltage of 1.2 V. Therefore, the battery indication shown on the balance might differ from the actual battery status.

Your balance uses 8 standard AA batteries (alkaline or lithium batteries preferred).

The Bluetooth dongle or other options only work when the balance is connected to the power supply and is not only powered by batteries.

100% full In battery operation mode, a battery symbol appears in the status information field. The size of the white bar indicates the battery condition. When the batteries status reaches 25%, part of the symbol becomes red. If the status is lower than 15%, the whole symbol becomes red.

4.5.5 Leveling the balance

Exact horizontal and stable positioning are essential for repeatable and accurate weighing results.

The balance can be levelled using the leveling assistant and/or the level indicator in front of the balance. There are two adjustable leveling feet to compensate for slight irregularities in the surface of the weighing bench.

The balance must be leveled and adjusted each time it is moved to a new location.

Balances with two levelling feet

1 Position the balance at the selected location.

2 Align the balance horizontally.

3 Turning the two front leveling feet of the housing until the air bubble is in the middle of the glass.

È

Balances with four levelling feet

1 First turn the two rear leveling feet all the way in.

2 Adjust the two front leveling feet as previously described.

3 Turn the rear leveling feet down onto the surface for extra stabilizing safety, so the balance cannot tilt over under eccentric loads.

Example

Air bubble at 12 o'clock: turn both feet clockwise.

Air bubble at 3 o'clock:

Air bubble at 6 o'clock:

Air bubble at 9 o'clock: turn left foot clockwise, right foot counterclockwise.

In the section User management rights for users and user groups can be defined. User management simplifies operations by customizing the user interface according the requirements of every user. Additionally, it helps in regulatory environments that actions and results on a device can be traced to the individual user. If user management is activated, access to the system is user-specific (user logon). The access to the system can be protected by a password. Create up to 10 users and assign them a previously defined access authorization

(group). According the access authorization only the relevant information is shown to a specific user. After switching on the balance, the user must login with the password, depending on the settings. The user must logout to switch off.

6.2.1 Working with IDs

Identifications (IDs) contain descriptive text for measurements, enabling samples to be easily allocated to specific tasks or customers. This feature defines identifications in order to be able comment on measurements, such as company ID, batch ID or sample ID.

Identifications must be defined under the application settings in Reports configuration . Usage and definition of the ID differ depending on the application for which the ID is used.

Identification dialog screen

The Identification dialog screen may vary slightly depending on the application for which the ID is used. The dialog screen always consists of two parts:

6.2.3 Workflow handling options

The workflow handling options differ depending on the application in which they are used. The following functions are available:

•

•

Autoincrement

Input prompt

Autoincrement

The function Autoincrement specifies that the last part of the ID is incremented with each use of that ID. There are two basic functions depending on how the ID is defined:

• If there is no counter in the ID, the system automatically adds a counter to the ID starting with 1 (e.g., the ID

Process will be Process1 in the next use).

•

•

•

If a counter is part of the ID, the system automatically increments the ID starting at that counter (e.g., the ID

Process 1 will be Process 2 in the next use).

The counter must be set at the end of the ID, otherwise the system doesn't recognize the number as a counter (e.g. in 567Apple the system doesn't recognize 567 as a counter).

If the ID has no counter and a maximum length of 12 characters, the last few characters will be overwritten by the counter.

Input prompt

The Input prompt function can be used for every ID. If Input prompt is activated, the ID will be prompted on the display before it is used. The user can decide whether to use the default value that has been defined with the ID or define an individual value. The value can either be define with the keyboard on the touch screen, by reading in the information with a barcode reader or by attaching an external keyboard to the balance.

Counting with reference weight check

The reference weight check ensures that the reference weight is high enough for the resulting counting accuracy to fit the customer process tolerance. Activate a reference weight check and define the process tolerance in percent. The percentage factor range is 0.01 - 30.00%. The higher the factor, the smaller the required minimum reference weight. Factory setting: 2%. The minimum reference weight is equal to d / factor.

Precision and Analytical Balances Activities​​ 63

Example d = 0.1 g

Factor = 20%

Minimum reference weight = 0.1 g / 20% = 0.5 g

If the reference calculation is activated manually or automatically, the minimum reference weight is checked to ensure the desired accuracy. If it is not sufficient, the user is prompted to add the number of additional parts needed. The number of additional parts needed is reduced to zero, after which the user adds additional parts. At zero, the reference calculation is activated automatically. If too many parts are added, the user is prompted to remove the number of parts until zero is reached.

7.1.9 Density

Navigation: Activities > Activities - Weighing applications > Density

Density allows the density of solid bodies and liquids to be determined.

The density is determined via the Archimedes principle, according to which a body immersed in a fluid undergoes an apparent loss in weight which is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.

To determine the density of solid bodies, we recommend using the optional density kit, which contains all attachments and aids needed for convenient and precise density determination. To determine the density of liquids, a sinker is also required. This can be obtained from your METTLER TOLEDO dealer.

The statistics function can be activated; information on this topic can be found in [Statistics  }  Page 56].

11.4.6 MT-SICS interface commands and functions

Many of the instruments and balances used have to be able to integrate into a complex computer or data acquisition system.

To easily integrate a balance into a system and utilize its capacity to the full extent, most balance functions are also available as corresponding commands via the data interface.

All new METTLER TOLEDO balances launched on the market support "METTLER TOLEDO Standard Interface

Command Set" (MT-SICS). The commands available depend on the functionality of the balance.

For further information, please contact your METTLER TOLEDO representative.

Refer to the MT-SICS Reference Manual which can be downloaded from the Internet at u www.mt.com/library
