Chapter 1: Setting up the scale METTLER TOLEDO SQC16

1 Setting up the scale

Please read through these operating instructions carefully and adhere to them at all times. If you discover that materials are missing or that the wrong ones have been supplied, or if you have any other problems with your scale, please refer to the dealer and salesperson concerned, or if necessary to the METTLER TOLEDO representative responsible.

1.1 Safety and environment

• Do not use the scale in hazardous areas (unless it is clearly identified

as being approved for these areas).

• If the power cord is damaged, the scale must no longer be operated.

Therefore check the cable regularly and ensure that a free space of about 3 cm is left at the rear of the scale, so that the cable is not kinked too severely.

• Never tamper with the retaining screws for the load plate support

underneath the weighing pan.

• When the weighing pan is removed, never insert a solid object

underneath the load plate support.

• Never open the scale by removing the screws in its base.

• Use only approved accessories and peripherals.

• Handle the scale with utmost care; it is a precision instrument. Blows on

the weighing pan must be avoided, and heavy overloads must not be placed on it.

• Important instructions when using scales in the food sector: those parts

of the scale can come into contact with food products have smooth surfaces and are easy to clean. The materials used do not splinter and are free from contaminants. In food processing areas, it is recommended that a protective cover (accessory) is used. This must be cleaned regularly, just like the scale itself. Damaged or heavily contaminated protective covers must be replaced immediately.

• When the scale is finally taken out of service, observe the current

environmental regulations. The scale is equipped with a battery that contains heavy metals and therefore must not be treated as normal refuse! Local regulations for disposing of environmentally hazardous substances must be complied with.

METTLER TOLEDO SQC16 Chapter 1: Setting up the scale 9

1.2 Positioning and leveling the scale

The correct location is a decisive factor in ensuring accurate weighing results.

- Choose a stable and vibration-free location (particularly important for

high-resolution scales using METTLER TOLEDO MonoBloc technology). Place the scale on a surface that is as horizontal as possible and strong enough to bear its weight when fully loaded.

- Check the ambient conditions.

- Avoid:

- Direct sunlight

- Strong drafts (e.g. from fans or air conditioning systems)

- Excessive temperature fluctuations.

• Turn the adjustable feet so that the scale is horizontal. If a spirit level is

filled, the bubble must be located within the inner circle.

Note: The SQC16 has a special filter that accelerates certain procedures (zeroing, taring) in a non-tranquil environment. This inevitably means that there is a slight loss of accuracy with the results. For high-precision results, care must be taken to ensure as tranquil and stable an environment as possible, so that the filter is not activated.

Major changes in geographical location:

Every scale is set by the manufacturer to suit the local gravitational conditions (geographical adjustment value) in the geographical zone to which the instrument is supplied. If a major change of geographical location takes place, this setting must be adjusted by a service technician or a new setting made. Certified scales must, in addition, be recalibrated in accordance with national certification regulations.

1.3 Connecting to power supply

• Before connecting the power supply plug, verify that the voltage stated on

the model plate is the same as the local power line voltage.

• For maximum possible precision, adjust the scale after installing it

(Chapter

7.4.1). Note: Certified scales must be adjusted by an

authorized organization. Please consult your dealer.

Chapter 2: Basic functions METTLER TOLEDO SQC16

2.6 Recording weighing results

Press the « » key to send the current weighing result to the peripheral device (usually a printer) via a COM port which has to be set up as 'Printer'.

Please refer to Chapter

7.9 for instructions on configuring the interface(s).

METTLER TOLEDO SQC16 Chapter 3: User setup and password 15

3 User setup and password

To avoid incorrect operation of the scale in normal use, the vision setup menu can be protected with a password. The scale differentiates between users and a supervisor. When the scale leaves the factory, the entire menu can be accessed by anyone. We therefore recommend you to define your own supervisor password as soon as you set up the scale. This limits access by the users to a smaller number of vision setup menu items (settings for language, sleep mode, contrast, invert, weight display and date/time).

Note:

Please be aware that the term 'Supervisor' (valid for Vision Setup; i.e. general scale operations and SQC16 operator/administrator setup) is different from 'Operator' and 'Administrator' (valid for SQC16 specific operations).

There should be only one (unnamed) Supervisor who has access to the Supervisor password and therefore, can setup several (named) administrators and several (named) operators, including resetting of their passwords.

Please refer to Chapter

7.2 on how to navigate within the 'Vision Setup'-menu and thus reach the menu position 'Vision

Setup Æ TERMINAL Æ Access' (Chapter

7.7) for defining the Supervisor password.

3.1 Defining a user name

Press the « » key continuously for about 2 seconds.

…appears on the screen, enter Supervisor password (if any; Æ Chapter 7.7)

and then briefly press the «

» key again.

…appears on the screen.

Select SQC16 by pressing « » and then press « ».

If you want to work with operator login, User Login should be activated.

Select User Setup and press «Edit».

…appears on the screen.

Define the user (User name, Number, Access Rights) by pressing «Edit» again.

Chapter 3: User setup and password METTLER TOLEDO SQC16

Using the alphanumeric keypad of the scale, type the name of the user and then press «OK». Up to 16 different users can be defined. Specify also 'Number' and 'Access Rights' of user, i.e. whether only as operator (who

cannot enter «

» menu within SQC16 mode) or as administrator.

Note: Password menu here is only meant to delete existing passwords in case it was forgotten (the supervisor can erase passwords of operators and administrators). For defining Æ Chapter

3.1. Please see also Chapter 7.5 for

more detailed information about SQC16 vision menu.

3.2 Creating a password

Once operator and administrator names are defined, a password has to be defined, as soon as the specific user enters 'SQC16' for the first time.

In weighing mode, press «SQC16».

Select the user name and then press «OK».

Using the numeric keypad of the scale, type the password and then press «OK».

Note: The first time it will ask 'Create password' and then 'Re-type password'. Enter the same new password twice.

6 Special features of SQC16

6.1 Working with barcodes

4100 4562

The SQC16 system can be equipped with a bar code reader. When the article data are defined, e.g. the following parameters can be read in: Article name, article number, identification, user name, text for header and footers in the printout.

If you wish to select the articles for sampling, using the bar code reader, you must define the number of the bar code (e.g. EAN) as article number.

To activate, the desired article can be selected directly by reading in the bar code.

In sampling mode, also the batch number can be read in with the bar code.

6.2 Individual tare sampling

There are two possible ways to work with individual tare:

1,1..2,2

Preweighing and backweighing are in two samples. First, all preweighings are done in one

sample and afterwards, the backweighings are done in the same order as the preweighings in a second sample.

1,2..1,2

Preweighings and backweighings are in one sample. After every preweighing, the

backweighing follows immediately.

Preweighings can be gross values (Æ backweighing: tare value) or tare values (Æ backweighing: gross value). Any defined mean tare value from the database will have its effect to calculate the net value as well.

Note: When you are done with preweighing but not with backweighing, you will not be able to delete the sampling unless you press «Start» and then «End».

6.2.1 Preweighing and backweighing in two samples

Navigating through the Vision Menu is done through the six softkeys found at the bottom of the display. The softkeys change depending on the currently selected menu item to allow the user to perform the appropriate action for the selected item.

This softkey selects the previous item listed on the current menu.

This softkey selects the next item listed on the current menu.

This softkey selects the first item on the next “page” of the menu. If all the items for the current menu are visible (i.e. there are four or less items for the current menu), this softkey is not visible.

Chapter 7: Vision Setup METTLER TOLEDO SQC16

This softkey enters the submenu of the currently selected item. If the currently selected item does not have a submenu, this softkey is not visible.

This softkey leaves the current submenu and goes one level up. If the Vision Menu is already at the top level, pressing this softkey is similar to pressing «End» (see below).

This softkey allows the user to edit the value or setting of the currently selected item. If the currently selected item contains a submenu, this softkey is not visible.

Some menu items perform specific actions rather than editing. Pressing this softkey directs the Vision Menu to perform the action specified by the currently selected menu item.

This softkey can be pressed at any time to leave the Vision Menu. The Vision Menu will then prompt the user to save or discard the changes the user has made. The user may also press «Cancel» at this time to go back to the Vision Menu.

11.3.2 IND469

The device is equipped with 2 communication interfaces. The following combinations are possible:

COM1 COM2 Standard RS232 RS232 Ethernet RS232 Ethernet WLAN RS232 WLAN

11.4 Interface commands

Your scale can be configured and operated, and can communicate with a PC via RS232C interface.

11.4.1 Preconditions

The following preconditions must be fulfilled to achieve communication between the scale and a PC:

• The scale must be connected to the RS232C interface of the PC using the necessary cable (e.g. 410024).

• The scale interface must be set in “Dialog” mode (see Chapter

7.9.1).

• A terminal program must be available on the PC (e.g. “Hyper Terminal”).

• The communication parameters (protocol, bits and parity, data transfer rate) must be set using the same values in

the terminal program and in the scale (see Chapter

7.9.2).

11.4.2 SICS Command set

Your scale basically supports the Mettler Toledo Standard Interface Command Set (MT-SICS). The SICS command set used are “Level 0”, “Level 1”, and some “Level 2” commands. Detailed information on the interface commands is given in the “MT SICS Reference Manual” (No. 705184, only available in English).

Notes:

• Every command line must be terminated with <CR><LF> (corresponding to the “Enter” or “Return” key on the PC

keyboard). The command is then executed immediately. To correct a line, this needs to be entered again completely.

• For commands with parameters, the “_” symbol signifies an empty space, and in the examples given, serves solely

to clarify the syntax.

• For commands that require text parameters, the quotation marks must be entered, as they indicate to the scale that

they enclose a text string and not another parameter.

Chapter 11: Technical data METTLER TOLEDO SQC16

The following lists the supported MT-SICS commands:

I0 Inquiry of all implemented MT-SICS commands. I1 Inquiry of MT-SICS level and MT-SISCS versions. I2 Inquiry of scale data. I3 Inquiry of scale software version. I4 Inquiry of serial number.
