1.2 Presentation
1.2.1 Weighing terminals
There are two versions of the ICS425 weighing terminal:
ICS425a with analog scale interface:
to connect analog weighing platforms
ICS425d with digital scale interface SICSpro, which is based on RS422:
to connect METTLER TOLEDO weighing platforms with digital scale
interface SICSpro, e.g., PBD 655
1.2.2 Compact scales
A compact scale consists of a weighing terminal with digital scale interface SICSpro and a
weighing platform which are xed together.
Depending on the connected weighing platform there are two basic versions of the ICS425
compact scales:
ICS425d-.../f ICS425 compact scale with strain gauge load cell
ICS425k-.../f ICS425 compact scale with MonoBloc® load cell
The weighing platforms are available in three different sizes as shown below.
ICS425d-...XS/f
ICS425k-...XS/f
ICS425k-...XS/DR/f
ICS425d-...SM/f

ICS425d-...LA/f
ICS425k-...LA/f
ICS425k-...LA/DR /f

Naming
The complete name of a compact scale also indicates the type, size and capacity of the
connected weighing platform. E.g., ICS425k-6SM/DR/M/f stands for
ICS425k ICS425 terminal, weighing platform with MonoBloc

Bargraph
The device offers a bargraph indicating the scale capacity available.
The bargraph indicates roughly which part of the scale capacity is already occupied and
what capacity is still available.
In the example, approx. 3/4 of the scale capacity is occupied, although the applied net
weight isn’t really high. The reason therefore could be a high tare weight.

1.3 Commissioning
1.3.1 Selecting the location
The correct location is crucial to the accuracy of the weighing results.
➜ Select a stable, vibration-free and, if possible, a horizontal location for the weighing
platform.
The ground must be able to safely bear the weight of the fully loaded weighing platform.
➜ Observe the following environmental conditions:
– No direct sunlight
– No strong drafts
– No excessive temperature uctuations

Introduction
1.3.2 Levelling the weighing platform
Only weighing platforms that have been levelled precisely horizontally provide accurate
weighing results. Weights and Measures approved weighing platforms have a spirit level
to simplify levelling.
➜ Turn the adjustable feet of the weighing platform until the spirit level’s air bubble is
inside the inner circle.
Levelling of compact scales
On compact scales levelling can be done in an easier way.
1. Turn the compact scale upside down.
2. Unscrew the plastic screw in the middle of the terminal front side far enough that it
does support the terminal.
3. Screw in the 2 adjustable feet on the side facing the terminal.
4. Turn over the compact scale into its normal position.
5. Level the compact scale by turning the other 2 adjustable feet of the weighing platform
until the spirit level's air bubble is inside the inner circle.
1.3.3 Weighing platform connection
Analog weighing platforms
➜ Call the METTLER TOLEDO service technician to connect an analog weighing platform
to the ICS425a weighing terminal.
Weighing platforms with digital scale interface SICSpro
➜ Connect the weighing platform connector to the ICS425d weighing terminal.
• If you have ordered an approved weighing system consisting of an ICS425d weighing
terminal and an approved PBD... weighing platform, the approval was done in the
factory.
• Due to the new digital scale interface SICSpro, you can disconnect the weighing
platform from the weighing terminal of an approved weighing system without violating
the approval.
– If another weighing platform is connected to the weighing terminal, the system is
not approved.
– If the weighing platform of the approved system is connected again, the approval
is valid again.
• If you have connected a non-approved weighing platform and want to approve the
system, call the METTLER TOLEDO service technician.
13
METTLER TOL EDO User manual ICS42504/12 Order number 22023391A
1.3.4 Power supply connection
CAUTION
Risk of electric shock!
▲ Before connecting the power supply, check whether the voltage value printed on the
rating plate corresponds to your local system voltage.
▲ Do not under any circumstances connect the device if the voltage value on the rating
plate deviates from the local system voltage.
▲ Make sure the weighing platform has reached room temperature before switching on
the power supply.
➜ Plug the power plug into the power socket.
After it has been connected, the device runs a self-test. The device is ready to operate
when zero appears on the display.
1.3.5 Handling of the storage battery
Note the following when operating a device with a built-in storage battery:
• The operating life depends on the intensity of use, the conguration and the connected
scale. For details see the technical data.
• The battery symbol shows the current state of charge of the storage battery.
– One segment corresponds with approx. 25 % capacity.
– If the symbol ashes, the storage battery has to be charged.
– During charging the segments are "running" until the battery is fully charged and
all segments light up continuously.
• The charging time of the storage battery amounts to approx. 6 hours.
The storage battery is protected against overcharging.
• The storage battery has a service life of approx. 2 years or 500 to 1,000 charging/
discharging cycles.
CAUTION
No success in charging the storage battery due to low temperatures!
▲ Do not charge the battery if the battery temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F). Charging
is not possible in this temperature range.
▲ Do not operate the battery charger outside its temperature range of 0 °C to 40 °C
(32°F to 104°F).

Introduction
Recommended use of the storage battery
The characteristics mentioned above are only valid if the following recommendations are
observed:
• Change the battery as soon as the warning message "Lowbattery" appears and the
battery symbol starts ashing. When the message appeares you still have enough
time (at least 10minutes) to complete your current task.
• For optimum battery performance operate the device with built-in storage battery at an
ambient temperature in the range of 10 °C to 30 °C (50 °F to 86 °F). This applies to
discharging as well as charging the battery.
• If you plan to put the scale out of operation for a longer period, charge the battery
completely.
• Even if you do not use the instrument, charge the battery at least every 3months to
avoid deep discharge.
• On devices with removable battery, remove the battery prior to long term storage.
Changing battery
2.
1.
1. Unlock the battery by moving the slider to the outside and remove the discharged
battery.
2. Insert the fully charged battery and secure it by moving the slider to the inside.
With optional IP65 protection, the battery is not accessible from the outside. Please call
the METTLER TOLEDO service technician.
