1.1 General
Balance features
• The EL balance line ranges from high-resolution analytical balances with a readability of 0.1 mg through to precision and portable balances with a readability of
0.001 g to 1 g. The weighing ranges extend from 120 g to 6.2 kg.
• In addition to basic operations such as weighing, taring and adjusting (calibra-
tion) miscellaneous functions such as “Recall weight”, “Percent weighing”,or
“Free Newton factor” can be activated.
• Several EL balances are fitted with a glass draft shield in the factory; with other
models a draft shield is available as an optional extra.

2.1 Unpacking / standard equipment
The standard equipment for every balance comprises:
• AC adapter, to national standard
• Weigh ing pan, W eighing pan
support, draft shield element
(depending on model)
• Draft shield
standard supply with
models of 0.1 /1 mg readability
(
for other models available as an
optional extra
)
• Operating Instructions
• Protective cover
• EL balances must not be operated in hazardous areas with the standard-supply
AC adapter.
• Before connecting the AC adapter, verify that the voltage printed on it corresponds
to the local AC power supply voltage. If this is not the case, please contact your
local METTLER TOLEDO dealer.
• EL balances may only be used indoors in a dry environment.
• For use with CSA Certified (or equivalent approved) power source, which must
have a limited and SELV circuit output.
2.2 Cautionary notes
2.3 Setting up, leveling, preparations for weighing below the balance
The optimum location
The correct location makes an important contribution to the accuracy of the weighing
results of high-resolution analytical and precision balances.
• Stable, vibration-free position as horizontal as possible
• No direct sunlight
• No excessive temperature fluctuations
• No drafts
The best location is on a stable bench in a corner protected against drafts, as far
away as possible from doors, windows, radiators or the louvers of air conditioners.
Leveling
Some models are equipped with a level glass and two or four leveling feet to compensate for minor irregularities in the surface on which the balance stands. The balance
is exactly horizontal when the air bubble is in the middle of the level glass.
Note: The balance should be leveled each time it is moved to a new location.
Preparations for weighing below the balance
To carry out weighing operations below the balance, get rid of the special cover on
the underside of the balance. (Note: never put the balance without the protective
cover over its cone down on its head, only on its side!). This exposes the opening
for the hanger, making weighing below the balance possible.
Startup
7
Antitheft device
All models are provided with a lug for attaching an antitheft device (see optional
equipment in Section 6.4).
Power supply
➞ Plug the AC adapter into the AC adapter socket on the balance, and connect to
the power supply.
➞ The balance performs a self-test. This test is finished when “OFF” appears.
➞ Press the «On» key briefly: the balance is in operational readiness. Before any
work is performed with the balance, it must be adjusted (Section 2.4).
Notes
To achieve accurate results with analytical balances, they must be left switched on
for at least 60 minutes to reach operating temperature before carrying out the first
weighing operation.
Battery operation (compact models only)
Models in the compact line of balances can also be operated independently of the
AC power supply by using their batteries. To do this, always fit the protective cover
over the weighing cell cone first, then open the cover of the battery compartment
on the underside of the balance and insert the batteries.
Caution: ensure correct polarity (as specified inside the battery compartment).
Close battery compartment again.
When the balance is operating on its batteries, the border around the battery symbol
in the display lights up. The number of segments that are lit is an indicator of battery condition (3 = fully charged, 0 = discharged). When the batteries are almost
completely discharged, the last segment flashes.
Recommended battery type: AA (LR6) 1.5 V alkali-manganese.
NiMH (nickel-metal hydride) rechargeable batteries, which are recharged in an
external battery charger, can be also be used. The intervals between recharging are
not as long as the service life of a nonrechargeable battery.
Notes
• Batteries are not included in the standard supply.
• Battery operation is automatically overridden when the AC adapter is connected
to the AC power supply.
• To prolong battery (disposable or rechargeable) life, it is advisable to activate
«Auto shut» in the menu (see Section 4.3.7).
• All discharged batteries must be disposed of in an environmentally responsible
manner. No attempt must be made to incinerate or disassemble them.
• Models with the standard construction cannot be operated with batteries.

5.3 Weighing with free Newton factor and/or selectable display increments
In this menu option a custom “free Newton factor” can be defined at will.
The unit Newton measures the amount of force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second
squared.
1 N = 1 kg ∙ m/s
2
The factor m/s2 is also called gravitational acceleration. Newton is dependant on the geographical location and height of the balance and its user - hence making it necessary to adjust the unit according to the precise location. In this menu option a custom
“free Newton factor” can be defined at will.
This value is then either multiplied (“F FAC M”) by the weighing result (in grams), i.e. reading = factor x weight, or it is divided
(“F FAC d”) by the weight, i.e. reading = factor / weight. The range over which this factor can be selected depends on the weighing
range and the readability of the model concerned.

Entering the free Newton factor and/or the display increments
➞ Hold the «F» key down until “F FAC M” or “F FAC d” appears in the display.
➞ Press the «“» key to select “FAC M” / “FAC d” or “noFAC M” / “noFAC d”
(Function deactivated).
➞ Release the key. Either the factor 1 appears as default value or the factor that
was saved most recently.
This value can now be changed:
➞ Pressing the «“» key increases the factor.
Pressing the «1/10d» key reduces the factor.
Pressing the key once changes the value by one increment. If the key is held down,
the value changes increasingly rapidly.
➞ Confirm the selected factor with the «±» key (it will not be saved
automatically). “StEP=” appears in the display, and the program changes
automatically to allow the display increments to be entered. The smallest
possible display increment appears as default value, or the last value that was
saved.
➞ This value can be changed in the same way as for the free Newton factor (see
above).
Confirm the selected display increment with the «±» key (it will not be saved
automatically).
The appropriate calculation is then made using the weight on the pan in grams and
the selected factor, the result being displayed with the selected display increment.
No units are displayed, the symbol “#” being displayed instead. The calculation is
always based on the weight in grams.
Note
• If you only want to change the display increments, set the free factor
at exactly 1.
Toggling between displaying the calculated value and the measured weight
➞ Place the sample on the weighing pan. The appropriate calculation is then
made using the weight of the sample and the selected factor, the result being
displayed with the selected display increment.
➞ Press the «“» key. The weight is displayed.
➞ Press the «“» key again to return to the calculated value.

6.2 RS232C interface
Every balance can be equipped with an optional RS232C interface for connection to
a peripheral device (e.g. printer, auxiliary display or PC with a 9-pin male connector,
see Section 6.4). The balance must then configured to suit the peripheral device in
a menu dialog (Sections 4.3.8 – 4.3.13).
A detailed description of the available interface commands is given in the “Reference
Manual MT-SICS B-S/L/L-S balances 11780447”. This can be downloaded from the
Internet (www.mt.com/pl or www.mt.com/al see “Support”) and is only available
in English.
The wide range of features of the EL balances regarding documentation of the results
can be utilized by connecting to a printer, e.g. the RS-P42 or LC-P45 from METTLER
TOLEDO. Printed results then make a decisive contribution to simplifying GLP/GMPcompliant work.
Technical data, options, optional equipment
22
6.3 MT-SICS Interface commands and functions
Many of the balances used have to be capable of integration in a complex computer or data acquisition system.
To enable you to integrate balances in your system in a simple manner and utilize their capabilities to the full, most balance
functions are also available as appropriate commands via the data interface.
All new METTLER TOLEDO balances launched on the market support the standardized command set “METTLER TOLEDO Standard
Interface Command Set” (MT-SICS). The commands available depend on the functionality of the balance.
Basic information on data interchange with the balance
The balance receives commands from the system and acknowledges the command with an appropriate response.
Command formats
Commands sent to the balance comprise one or more characters of the ASCII character set. Here, the following must be noted:
• Enter commands only in uppercase.
• The possible parameters of the command must be separated from one another and from the command name by a space
(ASCII 32 dec., in this description represented as /).
• The possible input for “text” is a sequence of characters of the 8-bit ASCII character set from 32 dec to 255 dec.
• Each command must be closed by CRLF (ASCII 13 dec., 10 dec.).
The characters CRLF, which can be inputted using the Enter or Return key of most entry keypads, are not listed in this description,
but it is essential they be included for communication with the balance.
Example
S – Send stable weight value
Command S Send the current stable net weight value.
Response S/S/WeightValue/Unit
Current stable weight value in unit actually set under unit 1.
S/I Command not executable (balance is currently executing another command, e.g.
taring, or timeout as stability was not reached).
S/+ Balance in overload range.
S/- Balance in underload range.
Example
Command S Send a stable weight value.
Response S/S/////100.00/g
The current, stable weight value is 100.00 g.
Technical data, options, optional equipment
23
The MT-SICS commands listed below is a selected list of available commands. For additional commands and further information
please refer to the Reference Manual “MT-SICS for B-S/L/L-S balances 11780447” downloadable from the Internet under www.
mt.com/pl or www.mt.com/al.
S – Send stable weight value
Command S Send the current stable net weight value.
SI – Send value immediately
Command SI Send the current net weight value, irrespective of balance stability.
SIR – Send weight value immediately and repeat
Command SIR Send the net weight values repeatedly, irrespective of balance stability.
Z – Zero
Command Z Zero the balance.
@ – Reset
Command @ Resets the balance to the condition found after switching on, but without a zero setting
being performed.
SR – Send weight value on weight change (Send and Repeat)
Command SR Send the current stable weight value and then send continuously the stable weight
value after every weight change.
The weight change must be at least 12.5 % of the last stable weight value,
minimum = 30d.
ST – Send stable weight after pressing ± (transfer) key
Command ST Inquiry of actual status of the ST function.
SU – Send stable weight value with currently displayed unit
Command SU As the “S” command, but with the currently displayed unit.

7.3 Maintenance and cleaning
Service
Regular servicing of your balance by a service technician prolongs its working life. Ask your METTLER
TOLEDO dealer for details of servicing options.
Cleaning
Every now and then, clean the weighing pan, draftshield element, draftshield (depending on the
model) and housing of your balance using a damp cloth. Your balance is made of high-quality,
durable materials and can therefore be cleaned with a standard, mild cleaning agent.
Please observe the following notes
• On no account use cleaning agents, which contain solvents or abrasive ingredients, as this can
result in damage to the terminal overlay.
• After working with chemicals, it is advisable to wash or clean the weighing pan and the bottom
plate (if draft shield fitted).
• Although all materials are of high quality, corrosion may occur if corrosive substances are deposited on chrome steel for an extended period of time (and if air is excluded, for example by a
coating of grease).
• Ensure that no liquid comes into contact with the balance or the AC adapter!
• Never open the balance or AC adapter – they contain no components, which can be cleaned,
repaired or replaced by the user.
• Soiled protective covers can be replaced on all balance types (see Optional equipment).
