When the balance is switched on for the first time, the Weighing application home screen will open. If the
balance is switched on again, it will always go to the home screen of the application last used before
switching it off.
4.6.2 Leveling the balance
Exact horizontal and stable positioning are essential for repeatable and accurate weighing results.
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.
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.
Example
Air bubble at 12 o'clock:
turn both feet clockwise.
Air bubble at 3 o'clock:
turn left foot clockwise, right foot counterclockwise.
Air bubble at 6 o'clock:
turn both feet counterclockwise.
Air bubble at 9 o'clock:
turn left foot counterclockwise, right foot clockwise.
4.6.3 Adjusting the balance
To obtain accurate weighing results, the balance must be adjusted to match the gravitational acceleration at
its location. This is also dependent on the ambient conditions. After reaching the operating temperature, it is
important to adjust the balance in the following cases:
• Before the balance is used for the first time.
• After reaching the operating temperature.
• If the balance has been disconnected from the power supply or in the event of power failure.
• After significant environmental changes (e. g. temperature, humidity, air draft or vibrations)
• At regular intervals during weighing service.
4.7 Performing a simple weighing
This section describes how to perform a simple weighing operation. The basic navigation concept and the
basic functions of the balance are also explained.
When you switch on the balance for the first time, the Weighing application home screen opens automatically. If the balance has already been used, the application that was last used before the balance was
switched off will open. If another application is running, switch to Weighing.

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 the section 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 can slightly differ depending on the application in which the ID is used. The
dialog screen always consists of two parts:
• The table with the ID definitions on the upper part of the screen.
• The Workflow options on the lower part of the dialog screen.

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.
Assign to sample
If the option Assign to sample is activated, the ID will be used for each sample.
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.

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.

Activities
47
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.

Activities &gt;
Activities - Weighing applications &gt;
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 the chapter

10 Maintenance
10.1 Cleaning and servicing
Clean the weighing pan, draft shield element, bottom plate, draft shield (depending on the model) and
housing of your balance at regular intervals. The balance is made from high-quality, durable materials and
can therefore be cleaned using a damp cloth or a standard cleaning agent.
To thoroughly clean the draft shield glass panels, remove the draft shield from the balance. When
reinstalling the draft shield, make sure it is in the correct position.
Please observe the following notes
WARNING
Risk of electric shock
Contact with parts carrying a live current can lead to injury and death.
1 Disconnect the balance from the power supply prior to cleaning and maintenance.
2 Only use METTLER TOLEDO power cables if they need to be replaced.
3 Prevent liquid from entering the balance, terminal or AC/DC adapter.
4 Do not open the balance, terminal or AC/DC adapter.
They do not contain any parts that can be serviced by the user.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to balance due to inappropriate cleaning methods
The balance is made from high quality, resistant materials and can be damaged by
certain cleaning agents, solvents or abrasives. Any liquid that enters the housing may
damage the balance.
1 Use water and a mild detergent to clean the balance or terminal.
2 Wipe off any spills immediately.
3 Prevent liquid from entering the interior of the balance.
Contact a METTLER TOLEDO representative to find about the service options available – regular
maintenance by an authorized service engineer will ensure consistent weighing accuracy over the long term
and extend the service life of the balance.
10.2 Cleaning the draft shield (0.1 mg and 1 mg models)
Removing or inserting sliding glass doors
It is possible to remove the sliding glass doors for cleaning or for replacing.

11.4.4 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 &quot;METTLER TOLEDO Standard Interface
Command Set&quot; (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
