1 Introduction and commissioning

1.1 Safety precautions

▲ Never operate the ID7-Base weighing terminal in hazardous areas; there are

special scales in our product line for this purpose.

▲ Make sure that the electrical outlet for the ID7-Base weighing terminal is

grounded and easily accessible to that it can be isolated quickly in emergencies.

▲ Make sure that the mains voltage at the installation location is within the range

from 100 V to 240 V.

▲ The safety of the unit is endangered if it is not operated in accordance with these

operating instructions.

▲ Only authorized personnel may open the ID7-Base weighing terminal.

1.2 Applications

With the ID7-Base weighing terminal the following applications are possible:

• Multi-scale operation with up to 3 weighing platforms, including a weighing
platform with an analog signal output.

• Up to 6 data interfaces
– for printing,

– for data exchange with a computer,
– for connecting a barcode reader,
– for control, e.g. of valves or flaps,
– for connecting reference scales.

• Comfortable alphanumeric entry via an external keypad.

Notes

• COM1 is permanently equipped with the serial interface RS232-ID7 as standard.

• Only one Alibi Memory ID7 can be installed. It has no additional external

connection, and internally it occupies the space of a data port COM2 ... COM6.
Alibi Memory ID7 is installed as COM4 at the factory.

• A maximum of 4 cards Analog Scale-ID7, Ethernet-ID7, Profibus-DP-ID7, WLAN-ID7

or Alibi Memory-ID7 can be installed in the ID7-Base. The following combinations
are possible:

CAUTION

➜ Cover unused connection sockets with protective caps to protect the socket

contacts from moisture and dirt.

1.4 Commissioning

1.4.1 Connect weighing platforms of the series D, F, K, N, Spider ID and AWU3/6

1. Set up weighing platform, see installation instructions of weighing platform.

2. Route weighing platform cable to weighing terminal.

3. Plug in weighing platform connector on weighing terminal.

1.4.2 Connect scales of the series B, G, R and DigiTOL

Precision scales of the series B, G and R can be connected to the ID7-Base weighing
terminal with the LC-IDNet B or LC-IDNet R/G connection set.
To connect DigiTOL scales, the GD17 connection set is required.

1. Set up scale, see operating instructions of scale.

2. Connect appropriate connection set to scale.

3. Route cable of connection set to weighing terminal and plug in.

1.4.3 Commissioning with several weighing platforms

1.4.4 Connect ID7-Base to network

CAUTION

The ID7-Base weighing terminal only functions properly with mains voltages of
100 V to 240 V.

➜ Make sure that the mains voltage at the installation location lies within this

range.

➜ Make sure that the mains outlet is grounded and easily accessible.

Connecting

➜ Plug mains plug of ID7-Base into a mains outlet.

In the factory setting the display briefly shows METTLER TOLEDO ID7 and the

versions of the installed components; then the weight display appears.

1.4.5 Marking and sealing of certified weighing platforms

ID code With the ID code it can be checked whether certified weighing platforms have been

tampered with since the last certification. The ID code can be displayed on the
terminal at any time, see section 3.10.
During certification the currently displayed ID code is recorded and sealed.
During each change to the configuration the displayed ID code increases. It then no
longer matches the sealed ID code; the certification is not longer valid.

Certification To mark and certify your weighing system, please contact METTLER TOLEDO Service

or your local board of weights and measures.

Check certification

1. Display ID code, see section 3.10; press ZERO-SET key until IDENTCODE = ...
is displayed.
No value is shown for noncertified weighing platforms, but instead:
IDENTCODE ===.

2. Compare ID code displayed with sealed ID code on ID card.
The certification of the weighing system is only valid when both values are
identical.
