The Ariva family of checkout products all share common technology designed for the point-of-sale
checkout environment.
The Ariva-B (Bioptic) scales closely integrate with various bioptic scanners.
The Ariva-H (Horizontal) scale provides a weighing platform into which single-plane scanners can
be placed. The Ariva-S (Stand-Alone) is a standalone scale made for the point-of-sale
environment. Ariva scales are designed to work with a wide variety of point-of sale terminals.
Ariva scales can be connected to POS systems via RS-232 or USB.

Legal for Trade 1.4
Scales used in legal for trade applications must be set up, verified and sealed in accordance with
local weights and measures regulations. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that all
pertinent legal requirements are met. As verification requirements vary by jurisdiction, the purchaser
should contact their local weights and measures office if they are not familiar with the
requirements. If the Ariva scale is connected to a POS system, the complete system has to undergo
declaration of conformity (legal verification) at the place of use. METTLER TOLEDO can perform this
system verification. The suitablility of the POS system must be proved based on test certificates
granted by a notified body (e.g. PTB, Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt).
Please contact the local METTLER TOLEDO representative for any questions.
The EU Declaration of Conformity is enclosed in the product box as a separate document.
Cleaning and Maintenance 1.5
• Remove power by unplugging the scale from the scanner or by removing the wall outlet.
• Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe the exterior surfaces.
• Do not use solvents and chemicals to clean the unit.
• Do not attempt to remove the cover or perform service or maintenance on the internal parts of
the scale.
Disposal 1.6
In accordance with the requirements of European Directive 2002/96 EC on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE), this device may not be disposed of with domestic refuse. This also
applies for countries outside the EU in accordance with their respective national regulations.

2Start-up and Setup
Environment 2.1
Proper environment enhances the operation and longevity of the scale. The following factors could
have a negative influence on the scale's operation.
•Vibration diminishes the scale’s ability to measure accurately.
Excessive vibration from equipment such as conveyors can cause inaccurate and nonrepeatable readings.
• Level the scale properly.
• Air currents can also diminish the scale’s performance. Avoid placing the scale in front of
or directly under air vents.
•Other than items being weighed, keep the scale free from objects rubbing or pressing
against the platter.
Maintain a temperature range of -10 °C to +40 °C.
Avoid areas where the temperature changes rapidly.
Select a firm, level, vibration-free surface on which to place the scale.
Avoid excessive drafts, such as from fans and open windows.
Leveling 2.2
Place the scale on a stable, flat, and level surface. Adjust the leveling feet on the scale base until
the scale is level. The center pad on all leveling feet should each touch the surface, and the scale
should not rock or teeter.
Check to make sure the level bubble (located underneath the platter) is centered as shown below.
Level the scale after every location change.
Power up 2.3
Note: Before powering on the Ariva scale, always make sure there is nothing on the platter.
The Ariva-B scale is powered directly by the scanner, so it will power up when the scanner is
turned on.
The Ariva-H and Ariva-S scales are powered by plugging in the wall plug transformer.
After the scale is turned on, it runs through a short display test. All segments briefly light up, then a
cycle of information is displayed, including the firmware version (SW-IDs).
The scale is ready when the weight display appears.

Indication of SW-IDs 2.4
The Ariva scale firmware is composed of a software, type "Rainbow", and an application software
(Appl.).
The Rainbow software is composed of following components:
- Rainbow Core (RB), if applicable
- Rainbow Weighing package (WP)
- Rainbow Signal processing (SP)
The Ariva scale firmware is certified by the NMi (Netherlands Measurement Institute), test certificate
TC8039.
Dependent on the version of the component Rainbow WP, following items will be shown during
start-up. The table reflects the item sequence, as depicted in the following example.
Rainbow WP <= 2.0.6Rainbow WP >= 2.0.7
Country and GEO code e.g.: de 20 Country and GEO code e.g.: de 20

Indicating the firmware version (SW-IDs) at run time
To indicate the SW-IDs for a longer period of time, push the Zero button twice in close succession
(double-click). The SW-IDs will now be indicated for about 6 seconds.
With single-line displays (for weight-only applications) the SW-IDs will be indicated in several
steps in succession.
Dependent on the version of the component Rainbow WP, the SW-IDs will be indicated in the order
as shown in below table, including examples.
The scale is configurable for specific needs by changing soft switches with help of the Tare- and
Zero-buttons. To access the setup mode press and hold the >T< button for about 5 seconds, until
“CONF” is displayed.
In order to accomplish the settings, use the buttons as follows:
30353728 | Ariva Quick Guide 9
The Zero button is used to confirm a choice and then go to the next
step.
The Tare button is used to step through the set up groups. Once a
group is selected, this key is used to select the specific soft switch
settings.

Backlight 3.2
The Ariva scale is equipped with a backlit display. To save energy, the scale will turn off the
backlight when not in use for 60 seconds.
The backlight will illuminate when the scale is back in use.
Weighing 3.3
Place the item to be weighed on the platter and the weight will be displayed. POS protocol
commands remotely control most scale functions including data transfer, zero, and tare,
depending on the protocol.
If applicable, tare, unit price and calculated sales price of the item to be weighed will also be
displayed.
12ArivaQuick Guide | 30353728
Re-zero 3.4
There are two ways to re-zero the Ariva scale:
Power-up Zero
The scale will automatically capture zero when it is turned on. The power-up zero capture range is
between -2% and +18% of the scale capacity. When the scale is turned on with a weight on the
platter of more than +18% of capacity, the scale will not capture zero (the weight display will
show "
use.
Likewise, if the scale is turned on without its platter, for example, then the scale will be
underweight and will not be able to capture zero.
"). After removing the excess weight, the scale will capture "zero" and be ready for
Pushbutton Zero
The Zero button re-zeros the scale over a range of +/-2% of the scale capacity. To use this
function, the scale must be in the gross weighing mode (NET cursor must be off) and in a nonmotion condition. When the weight on the platter is more than +/-2% of the scale capacity,
depressing the zero key will not be accepted.
Tare Function 3.5
Button Tare
The Tare button subtracts the weight of items like packaging or wrapping material.
1. Place an empty container or wrapping material on the platter.
2. Press the Tare button.
3. The "NET" and "T" indicators will illuminate, the tare display will show the tare weight, and the
weight display will show net zero weight.
4. Place the item to be weighed in the container or on the wrapping material on the platter. The
scale will show the net weight of the item.
Preset Tare
If the weight of a packaging material is known, a preset tare value can be sent automatically from
the POS system through the serial connection, as associated with the PLU for that item.
The preset tare will be deleted once the weighing transaction is completed and the item to be
weighed is removed. While a preset tare is active the "NET" and "PT" indicators will illuminate and
the tare display will show the preset tare.
Note: Only one tare method can be used at the same time. If a button tare is active, a preset tare
sent by the POS system will not be accepted. And button tare is not accepted if a preset tare is
active.
