4.5 Connecting the balance

WARNING

Danger of death or serious injury due to electric shock!

Contact with parts that carry a live current can lead to death or injury.
1 Only use the METTLER TOLEDO power supply cable and AC/DC adapter designed for

your instrument.
2 Connect the power cable to a grounded power outlet.
3 Keep all electrical cables and connections away from liquids and moisture.
4 Check the cables and power plug for damage and replace damaged cables and

power plugs.

NOTICE

Danger of damage to the AC/DC adapter due to overheating!

If the AC/DC adapter is covered or in a container, it is not sufficiently cooled and will
overheat.

1 Do not cover the AC/DC adapter.
2 Do not put the AC/DC adapter in a container.

The balance is supplied with an universal AC/DC adapter.

• Install the cables so that they cannot be damaged or interfere with operation.

• Insert the power cable in a grounded power outlet that is easily accessible.

− Connect the AC/DC adapter to the connection socket
on the back of your balance (see figure) and to the
power line.

ð The balance is ready for use.

4.5.1 Battery operation

The balance can also operate with batteries. Under normal operation conditions, the balance works
independently of the AC power line for about 8 to 15 hours (using alkaline batteries).

Immediately after the AC power supply is interrupted e.g. by withdrawing the power plug or if there is a
power failure, the balance switches automatically to battery operation. Once the AC power supply is
restored, the balance reverts automatically to AC operation.

It is also possible to use rechargeable batteries. Charging batteries inside the balance is not possible.

Your balance uses 4 standard AA (LR6) batteries (alkaline batteries preferred).

When the balance is operating on its batteries, the battery symbol in
the display lights up. The number of segments that are lit is an
indicator of battery condition (3=fully charged, 0=discharged).
When the batteries are almost completely discharged, the battery
symbol flashes.

9 Maintenance

9.1 Cleaning and service

Every now and then, clean the weighing pan, draft shield element, bottom plate, draft shield (depending on
the model) and housing of your balance. Your balance is made from high-quality, durable materials and
can therefore be cleaned using a damp cloth or with a standard, mild cleaning agent.

Please observe the following notes

WARNING

Danger of death or serious injury due to electric shock!

Contact with parts carrying a live current can lead to injury and death.
1 Disconnect the balance from the power supply prior to cleaning and maintenance.
2 Only use METTLER TOLEDO power cables if they need to be replaced.
3 Prevent liquid from entering the balance, terminal or AC/DC adapter.
4 Do not open the balance, terminal or AC/DC adapter.

They do not contain any parts that can be serviced by the user.

NOTICE

Risk of damage to balance due to inappropriate cleaning methods

The balance is made from high quality, resistant materials and can be damaged by
certain cleaning agents, solvents or abrasives. Any liquid that enters the housing may
damage the balance.

1 Use water and a mild detergent to clean the balance or terminal.
2 Wipe off any spills immediately.
3 Prevent liquid from entering the interior of the balance.

Contact a METTLER TOLEDO representative to find about the service options available – regular
maintenance by an authorized service engineer will ensure consistent weighing accuracy over the long term
and extend the service life of the balance.
