1 Introduction
General
Thank you for purchasing an Impact M® scale. The METTLER TOLEDO® Impact series
was designed for your current and future requirements and it can handle a variety of
operations and adapt to changing process and data requirements. This flexibility protects
your investment and helps you keep pace with rapidly changing production and
customer demands.
Chapter 1: Introduction
General
The Impact M scale offers very easy programming with a user friendly interface. All
scales contain a built-in thermal label printer which is designed for quick and easy roll
changes. Also, the Impact M provides a large, full-color LCD display for easy PLU lookup and straightforward operator control.
The Impact M is a low-profile counter scale with an easy-to-navigate user interface. The
Impact M can be operated in a standalone mode with a local database or connected to a
REM or STEM through an Ethernet network using TCP/IP protocol. In client mode, the
Impact M can be on the same network as the Model UC-ST, 8361, 8450, or 8461
scales.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Power
The power switch and power cord jack are located under the touchscreen on the left front
of the scale.
Press on the switch to turn the scale power to ON and again to turn the scale off (it is
a momentary switch, so it will return to its original position after being touched). Always
exit any editing screens before pressing the switch to turn power OFF. Always turn the
scale off before cleaning.
Network Connection
Switch
Cord Jack
The Impact M requires 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 2.2A power. Wiring must include a
proper ground. The integrity of the power ground for equipment is important for both
safety and dependable operation of the electronic device. A poor ground can result in an
unsafe condition should an electrical short develop in the equipment.
A good ground connection minimizes extraneous electrical noise pulses. The electronic
device should not share power lines with noise-generating equipment. Examples include
electrical motors, compressors, heating elements, lights, and relays that may generate
noise spikes and power surges. To confirm ground integrity, use a commercial branch
circuit analyzer or grounded outlet tester. If adverse power conditions exist, a dedicated
power circuit or power line conditioner might be required.
The Impact M can connect to your Ethernet network using a cable or using a wireless
radio. If you use a wired network connection and experience connection problems, make
sure your Ethernet cable is connected and seated securely in the jack, located under the
touchscreen at the front of the scale.
If you are using a wireless radio, it is built into the scale under an access panel situated
below the platter and spider on the left-hand side.
If the scale has a wireless card installed, do not connect an external Ethernet cable to the
Ethernet port.

Remote Assistance
Operator Logon
Available in future version.
If Operator Mode Logon is enabled in Admin->Unit Setup->Scale Settings->PLU Access
Parameters->Transaction Options, an Operator must log on to the scale to print a label.
In addition, the Operator ID will be recorded in the transaction log with each transaction.
This allows for better security and transaction traceability by operator. When the Operator
Logon button is selected, operators will be prompted to enter their logon information.
Once logged on, the operator will remain logged in until they log off or until the time
between transactions exceeds the transaction mode timeout defined in Scale Settings.
METTLER TOLEDO Impact M User's Guide

Transaction Mode
Logon
When selected again, operators will be prompted to log out.
Transaction Mode Logon allows users to logon to preconfigured modes that are designed
to run certain functions (ex. A Markdown mode that discounts the transaction by a certain
% or a Rewrap mode that applies a % off discount, changes the label format, and
changes the sell by date). When logged into this mode, all transactions will run these
functions until the operator logs out of this mode.
The available modes are defined in Admin->Unit Setup->Scale Settings->Transaction
Settings->Transaction Mode Configuration. For more information, review the section in
this User's Guide on Transaction Settings.

Customer Display
Chapter 2: Operating Instructions
Customer Display
The Customer Display can show different display screens based on the operation mode
the scale is in. The different options are By Weight PLU, By Count PLU, Standard Pack
PLU, Weight Displayed/Weight at Zero/No PLU and Weight at Zero/No PLU with a
marquee message. A slide show can be configured to display when the scale is idle.
Refer to the Marquee section in Chapter 3 for details.
Customer Display – By Count PLU
PLU Pricing Modes
By-Weight PLU
PLU is an abbreviation for Price Look Up. The PLU is a reference number assigned to a
product's record including fields such as the description, price, tare, etc. Different PLU's
will have different pricing modes. Meat is normally sold "By Weight" by the pound or
kilogram. Many bakery products are sold "By Count". Other products may be sold in a
standard package that uses a fixed weight. The different pricing modes are as described
in the following sections.
Examples of products sold By Weight
are meats, cheese, poultry, and
produce. By-Weight items can be
priced in three ways:
Priced "Per Pound/kg" - Typically
weighed items are priced per pound.
The weight multiplied by the unit price
equals the total price of the product.
Priced "Per Fraction of a
Pound/100g" (fractional) - The item
may also be priced by the fraction of
the pound (where legal and desired). Pricing per 1/4 pound and per 1/2 pound are
available in “pounds” mode and 100 gram is available in “kg” mode.
"Pounds/kg for price" - The PLU may be sold with a pounds-for-price (rather than price
per pound). For example, “2 pounds for $1.00” rather than “$0.50/pound.”
METTLER TOLEDO Impact M User's Guide
2-14
By-Count PLU
Standard Pack PLU
Examples of items sold by the count are
cookies, donuts, rolls, bread, etc.
Example: 4 Apples for $0.69. The ByCount PLU allows the operator to use the
scale to print labels. Pricing is entered
as a certain quantity of items for a set
price. If the total weight for the items is
needed, a weight field can be configured
on the label to print the weight of the
items in addition to the By-Count
information.
Examples of items sold by Standard
Pack include whole chickens, sheet
cakes, bread, etc. The Standard Pack
PLU is similar to By-Count and also
allows the operator to print labels. These
labels indicate the fixed net weight and
total price of the item. These types of
items all use a fixed weight.

Calling PLUs
When the Impact M is in Service mode, the operator screen will display the active
department’s Preset Pages and Preset PLUs.
Note: Service mode is the default on the PLU Edit screen. After the product has been
weighed, a label has been printed, and the item has been removed from the scale, the
PLU will clear and the scale will return to the home screen.
To begin a transaction, place an item on the weighing tray (can be done either before or
after a PLU is called up).
Call a PLU (Price Look Up) by pressing the Preset key related to the product directly enter
the PLU number on the keyboard.
The screen will vary slightly in appearance depending on whether it is By Weight, By
Count or Standard Pack. Depending on how the PLU has been set up, some of the fields
may be over-ridden such as Shelf Life, Tare, etc.
