Straight weighing display – Bargraph

The device offers a bargraph indicating the scale capacity.

The bargraph indicates roughly which part of the scale capacity is already occupied and what capacity is
still available.

In the example above, approximately 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.

1.3.1 Selecting the location

The correct location is crucial for the accuracy of the weighing results.
1 Select a stable, vibration-free and, if possible, a horizontal location for

the weighing platform.
ð The ground must be able to safely bear the weight of the fully

loaded weighing platform.

2 Observe the following environmental conditions:

ð No direct sunlight
ð No strong drafts
ð No excessive temperature fluctuations

1.3.2 Levelling

Levelling of weighing platforms

Only weighing platforms that have been levelled precisely horizontally,
provide accurate weighing results. Weights and Measures approved
weighing platforms have a level bubble to simplify levelling.

- Turn the adjustable feet of the weighing platform until the level bubble’s
air bubble is inside the inner circle.

Levelling of compact scales ICS4_5-.../f

On compact scales levelling can be done in an easier way.

1 Turn the compact scale upside down.

2 Screw in the 2 adjustable feet (2) on the terminal side of the weighing platform.

3 Turn over the compact scale to its normal position.

4 Level the compact scale by turning the other 2 adjustable feet (1) of the weighing platform until the level

bubble is inside the inner circle.

5 Screw out the feet (2) of the weighing platform until they have contact with the table.

The adjustable foot (3) of the weighing terminal is screwed out for 7 mm at the factory and needs
not be adjusted for levelling.

Introduction16

1.3.3 Weighing platform connection

Analog weighing platforms

- Call the METTLER TOLEDO service technician to connect an analog weighing platform to the ICS4_5g /

ICS4_9g weighing terminal.

Weighing platforms with digital scale interface

- Connect the weighing platform connector to the ICS4_5i / ICS4_9i or ICS4_5s / ICS4_9s weighing

terminal.

• If you have ordered an approved weighing system consisting of an ICS4_5s weighing terminal
and an approved PBD555 weighing platform, the approval was done in the factory (not for the
US market).

• You can disconnect the weighing platform from the ICS4_5s / ICS4_9s or ICS4_5i / ICS4_9i
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 ordered an approved weighing system consisting of an ICS4_5s / ICS4_9s weighing
terminal and an approved PBK/PFK weighing platform, the approval was done in the factory (not
for the US market).

• If you have connected a non-approved weighing platform and want to have the system
approved, call the METTLER TOLEDO service technician.

1.3.4 Power supply connection

CAUTION

Risk of electric shock!

a) Before connecting the power supply, check whether the voltage value printed on the

label corresponds to your local system voltage.

b) Do not, under any circumstances, connect the device if the voltage value on the label

deviates from the local system voltage.

c) Make sure the weighing platform has reached room temperature before switching on

the power supply.

- Plug the power plug into the power socket.
ð After it has been connected, the device runs a self-test. The device is ready to operate when zero

appears on the display.

Introduction 17

1.3.5 Handling the storage battery

Battery symbol

The battery symbol shows the current charging status of the storage
battery.

• One segment corresponds with approx. 25 % capacity.

• If the symbol flashes, 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.

Note the following when operating a device with a built-in storage battery:

• Before the first operation charge the storage battery for at least 3 hours.

• The operating life depends on the intensity of use, the configuration, and the connected scale. For details
concerning ICS4_5, see "Operating life with battery [
with battery [

• The charging time of the storage battery amounts to 4 to 5 hours. The storage battery is protected
against overcharging.

• The storage battery has a service life of 500 to 1,000 charging/discharging cycles.

}100]".

CAUTION

Charging the storage battery below 0° C (32 °F) or above 40 °C (104 °F) is
prevented by the charging electronics!

a) Make sure that the temperature is within the range of 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F)

to charge the storage battery.

}94]", or concerning ICS4_9, see "Operating life

CAUTION

Danger of soiling because the charger for the storage battery is not protected
according to IP69K!

a) Do not charge the device in humid or dusty rooms.
b) After the storage battery has been charged, close the cover cap of the charging socket

on the device.

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 "Low battery" appears and the battery symbol
starts flashing. When the message appears, you still have enough time (at least 10 minutes), to
complete your current task.

• For optimum battery performance, operate the device with built-in storage battery at an ambient
temperature range of 10 °C to 30 °C (50 °F to 86 °F). This also applies to discharging the battery.
