1 Introduction
1.1 Safety instructions for the explosion protected weighing
terminal IND429xx
The device fulfils Device category 3 and is approved for operation in Zone 2 (gases)
and Zone 22 (dusts) hazardous areas.
There is an increased risk of injury and damage when used in hazardous areas.
Special care must be taken when working in such hazardous areas. The code of
practice is oriented to the "Safe Distribution" concept drawn up by METTLER TOLEDO.
Competence ▲ The device, accompanying weighing platforms and accessories may only be
installed, maintained and repaired by authorized METTLER TOLEDO service
personnel.
▲ The mains connection may only be connected or disconnected by the owner’s
electrician.
Ex approval ▲ For the exact specification please refer to the statement of conformity.
▲ No modifications may be made to the terminal and no repair work may be
performed on the modules. Any weighing platform or system modules that are
used must comply with the specifications contained in the installation instructions.
Non-compliant equipment jeopardizes the safety of the system, cancels the Ex
approval and renders any warranty or product liability claims null and void.
▲ The cable glands must be tightened so that a strain relief of ≥ 20 N per mm cable
diameter is ensured.
▲ When connecting external devices, always observe the maximum permissible
connected loads, refer to the installation instructions. It must be ensured that no
voltages are fed into the device than it itself provides. The interface parameters have
to fulfil the standard.
▲ Peripheral devices without an Ex approval may only be operating in non-
hazardous areas. It must be ensured that no voltages are fed into the device than
it itself provides. In addition the maximum permissible connected loads have to be
observed, refer to the installation instructions. The interface parameters have to
fulfil the standard.
▲ The safety of the weighing system is only guaranteed when the weighing system
is operated, installed and maintained in accordance with the respective
instructions.

1.6 Commissioning
The weighing platform connection to the weighing terminals IND429 / IND429xx as
well as the commissioning of the interfaces are described in the "IND4x9 / BBA4x9"
installation instructions.
➜ Call the METTLER TOLEDO service or carry out commissioning in accordance with
the installation instructions.
1.6.1 Limited mobility at explosion protected weighing terminal IND429xx
CAUTION!
The device may only be operated in Zone 2 and 22 hazardous areas.
▲ Protect data and signal cable extensions against inadvertent disconnection.
▲ Secure the interface connections on the rear using the interface plate.
1.6.2 Labelling for operation in hazardous area
The following signs must be mounted on the device, accompanying weighing
platforms and accessories so that they are clearly visible:
• Model plate and the device’s model data, manufacturer and serial number
• Safety instructions
• Explosion protection identification
• If appropriate, temperature range
1.6.3 Establishing a mains connection at an explosion protected weighing terminal
IND429xx
CAUTION!
The mains connection may only be connected by the owner’s electrician.
CAUTION!
The device only operates correctly at a supply voltage of 230 V.
▲ Do not under any circumstances connect the device if the voltage value on the
rating plate deviates from the local system voltage.
▲ Only connect the device to an earthed mains connection.
▲ Ensure that equipotential bonding has been implemented.
IntroductionIND429 / IND429xx / BBA429
13User manual 22013801B 05/08
1.6.4 Establishing a mains connection at non-explosion-protected devices
CAUTION!
Before connecting the power supply check whether the voltage value printed on the
rating plate agrees with the 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.
➜ Plug the power plug into the power socket.
After it has been connected, the device carries out a self-testing routine. The device
is ready to operate when the zero display appears.
1.6.5 Devices with built-in or external storage battery
CAUTION!
Explosion hazard!
▲ In the case of explosion protected devices the storage battery may only be charged
in a safe area.
CAUTION!
Danger of soiling! The charger for the storage battery is not protected to IP69K.
▲ Do not charge the device in humid or dusty rooms.
▲ After the internal storage battery has been charged, close the cover cap of the
charging socket at the device.
▲ Close the cover cap of the charging socket again at an external storage battery.
▲ In order to maintain degree of protection IP69K, make sure at devices with an
external storage battery that the external storage battery is connected firmly to the
device. Ensure that the plug connector of the external storage battery is inserted into
the socket outlet of the device until it will go no further.
Note The storage battery is also suitable for permanent mains operation.
➜ In order to obtain the full nominal capacity we recommend that you discharge the
storage battery at regular intervals (approx. every 4 weeks) through normal
operation.
The operating life depends on the intensity of use, the configuration and the connected
scale. For details see Section 6.1.2.
The battery symbol shows the current charge state of the storage battery. 1 segment
corresponds to approx. 25% capacity. If the symbol flashes, the storage battery has
to be charged. If work is continued during the charging process, the charging time is
extended. The storage battery is protected against overcharging.
The charging time of the storage battery amounts to approx. 6 hours. If the device
continues to be operated during the charging process, the charging time is extended.
The storage battery has a service life of approx. 1,000 charging/discharging cycles.
