17Installation and Putting into Operation

4.4Selecting a Location

Your balance is a precision instrument and will thank you for an optimum location with high accu
racy and dependability. Select a stable, vibration-free position that is as horizontal as possible.
The surface must be able to safely carry the weight of a fully loaded balance.

Observe ambient conditions see Technical Data (page77).

Avoid the following:

●

Vibrations

●

Excessive temperature fluctuations

●

Direct sunlight

●

Powerful drafts (e.g. from fans or air conditioners)

4.5Leveling the Balance

The balances have a level indicator and two or four adjustable
leveling feet to compensate for slight irregularities in the surface
of the weighing bench. The balance is exactly horizontal when
the air bubble is in the middle of the level glass.

Note: The balance should be leveled and adjusted each time it
is moved to a new location.

– Turn the two front leveling feet until the air bubble is in the

center of the level indicator

L = left foot
R = right foot

4.6Power Supply

Your balance is supplied with an country-specific AC adapter or with a country-specific power
cable. The power supply is suitable for all line voltages in the range: 100 - 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
For detailed specifications, see Technical Data (page77).

18 Installation and Putting into Operation

Air bubble at "12 o'clock" turn both feet clockwise
Air bubble at "3 o'clock" turn left foot clockwise,

right foot counterclockwise

Air bubble at "6 o'clock" turn both feet counterclock

wise

Air bubble at "9 o'clock" turn left foot counterclock

wise, right foot clockwise

First, check the local line voltage is in the range 100 - 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz and
whether the power plug fits your local power supply connection. If this is not the

case, on no account connect the balance or the AC adapter to the power
supply, but contact the responsible METTLER TOLEDO dealer.

Important:

●

Before operating, check all cables for damage.

●

Guide the cables so that they cannot become damaged or interfere with the
weighing process!

●

Take care that the AC adapter cannot come into contact with liquids!

●

The power plug must be always accessible.

Allow your balance to warm up for 30 minutes (0.1 mg models 60 minutes) to
enable it to adapt itself to the ambient conditions.

– Connect the AC adapter to the connection socket on the

back of your balance (see figure) and to the power line.

The balance performs a display test (all segments in
the display light up briefly), "WELCOME", Software
version, Maximum load and Readability appears
briefly.

The balance is ready for use.

which a body immersed in a fluid undergoes an apparent loss in weight which is
equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.

To determine the density of solid bodies, we recommend you to work with the
optional density kit which contains all the attachments and aids needed for conve
nient and precise density determination. To determine the density of liquids, you
additionally need a sinker which you can also obtain from your METTLER TOLEDO
dealer.

Note for performing of density determinations:

●

You can also use the hanger for weighing below the balance which belongs to
your balance.

●

We recommend you to consult the operating instructions enclosed with the
density kit.

11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 clean
ing agent.

Please observe the following notes:

●

The balance must be disconnected from the power supply

●

Ensure that no liquid comes into contact with the balance or the AC adapter.

●

Never open the balance or AC adapter – they contain no components, which
can be cleaned, repaired or replaced by the user.

●

On no account use cleaning agents which contain solvents or abrasive ingre
dients, as this can result in damage to the operation panel overlay.

●

Do not use wet, but only damp cloth for cleaning.

Please contact your METTLER TOLEDO dealer for details of the available service
options. Regular servicing by an authorized service engineer ensures constant
accuracy for years to come and prolongs the service life of your balance.
