4.3 Selecting the location
Your balance is a sensitive precision instrument; the location where it is placed will have a profound effect
on the repeatability and accuracy of weighing results. Chose a stable surface that is as horizontal as
possible. The surface must be able to safety carry the weight of a fully loaded balance.
Observe ambient conditions (see Technical Data).
Avoid the following:
• Direct sunlight
• Air drafts (e.g. from fans or air conditioners)
• Temperature fluctuations
• Vibrations
Installation and Putting into Operation20 Precision and Analytical Balances
4.4 Connecting the instrument
The balance is supplied with a country-specific AC/DC 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 the section Technical Data.
CAUTION
Allow the balance to warm up for 30 minutes (0.1 mg models need 60 minutes) to adapt itself to the
ambient conditions.
Connect the AC/DC adapter to the connection socket on the back of your
balance and to the power line.
Attention
• Check if the local power supply falls within this range. If this is not the case, under no circumstances
connect the AC/DC adapter to the power supply, but contact a METTLER TOLEDO representative.
• The power plug must be accessible at all times.
• Prior to use, check the power cable for damage.
• Route the cable in such a way that it cannot be damaged or cause a hindrance when working.
• Ensure that no liquid ever comes into contact with the AC/DC adapter.
Installation and Putting into Operation 21Precision and Analytical Balances
4.5 Battery Operation
The balance can be operated with batteries. Under standard operation conditions, the balance works for
about 8 hours (using alkaline batteries). After the AC power supply is interrupted e.g. by withdrawing the
power plug or if there is a power failure, the balance switches to battery operation. Once the AC power
supply is restored, the balance reverts automatically to AC operation.
Note
Rechargeable batteries can be used. Batteries can NOT be charged by the balance.
Rechargeable batteries have a lower voltage of 1.2 V. Therefore, the battery indication shown on the
balance might differ from the actual battery status.
In battery operation mode, a battery symbol appears in the status
information field. The size of the white bar indicates the battery
condition. When the batteries status reaches 25%, part of the
symbol becomes red. If the status is lower than 15%, the whole
symbol becomes red.
CAUTION
• The balance must be disconnected from the power supply when replacing batteries.
• Do not place the balance on the pan support location bolt.
• Read and follow all warnings and instructions supplied by the battery manufacturer.
• Do not mix different types or brands of batteries. Performance of batteries varies depending on the
manufacturer.
• Remove the batteries from the balance if the balance is not used for a long period of time.
• Batteries must be disposed of properly, according to local regulations.
Note
The balance works with 8 standard AA (LR6) batteries (alkaline batteries preferred).

Installation and Putting into Operation22 Precision and Analytical Balances
4.6 Leveling the balance
Exact horizontal positioning and stable installation are prerequisites for repeatable and accurate weighing
results.
Note
To compensate for small irregularities or inclinations (±2 %), the instrument must be leveled and adjusted
each time it is moved to a new location.
The balance can be levelled with the leveling assistant and/or with the level indicator on top of the terminal.
There are two adjustable leveling feet to compensate for slight irregularities in the surface of the weighing
bench.
Balances with two levelling feet
- Adjust the two front leveling feet until the air bubble comes to rest
exactly in the middle of the glass:
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 counter-
clockwise
Air bubble at "9 o'clock" turn left foot counterclockwise,
right foot clockwise
Balances with four levelling feet
1 First turn the two rear leveling feet all the way in.
2 Adjust the two front leveling feet as previously described.
3 Turn the rear leveling feet down onto the surface for extra
stabilizing safety, so the balance cannot tilt over under eccentric
loads.

5.10 Working with IDs
ID
Identifications (IDs) contain descriptive text for individual measurements, which enables samples to be
easily allocated to specific tasks or customers. This feature defines identifications in order to comment
measurements, such as company ID, batch ID or sample ID.
Identifications must be defined in the contextual settings of an application. Usage and definition of the ID
differ depending on the application the ID is used for.
Identification dialog screen
The Identification dialog screen can slightly differ depending on the application in which the ID is used. The
dialog screen always consists of two parts:
• The table with the ID definitions on the upper part of the screen.
• The Workflow options on the lower part of the dialog screen.
5.10.1 Defining an ID
A new ID is defined as follows:
1 Open an application (e. g. Weighing).
2 Tap on the Main configuration symbol on the upper left corner.

The maximum length of an ID is 12 characters.
The picture below shows an example of defined IDs. IDs 1-3 are defined, ID 4 is still inactive.
5.10.2 Workflow options
The workflow handling options differ depending on the application in which they are used. The following
functions are available:
• Input prompt
• Autoincrement
• Assign to sample
Input prompt
The function Input prompt can be used for every ID. If the function Input prompt is activated, the ID will be
prompted on the display before it is used. The user can decide whether to use the default value that has
been defined with the ID or to define an individual value.
Autoincrement
The function Autoincrement specifies that the last part of the ID is incremented with each use of that ID.
There are two basic functions depending on how the ID is defined:
• If there is no counter in the ID, the system automatically adds a counter to the ID starting with 1 (e.g.
the ID Process will be Process1 in the next use).
• If a counter is part of the ID, the system automatically increments the ID starting at that counter (e.g. the
ID Process 1 will be Process 2 in the next use).
Note
• The counter must be set at the end of the ID, otherwise the system does not recognize the number as a
counter (e.g. in 567Apple the system does not recognize 567 as a counter).
• If the ID has no counter and a maximum length of 12 characters, the last few characters will be
overwritten by the counter.
Assign to sample
If the option Assign to sample is activated, the ID will be used for each sample.

Many of the instruments and balances used have to be capable of integration in a complex computer or
data acquisition system.
To enable you to integrate balances in your system in a simple manner and utilize their capabilities to the
full, most balance functions are also available as appropriate commands via the data interface.
All new METTLER TOLEDO balances launched on the market support the standardized command set
"METTLER TOLEDO Standard Interface Command Set" (MT-SICS). The commands available depend on the
functionality of the balance.
