1Your balance smooths the way

1.1 A new era in micro­weighing
The MT/UMT models open up new dimensions in microweighing, yet are simple to operate.
The separation of weighing cell and evaluation unit ensures maximum pre­cision - disturbing thermal influences are practically eliminated. Automatic door functions facilitate operate and prevent vibrations. And there is no need whatsoever to concern yourself with the adjustment - your balance per­forms the adjustment fully automati­cally. Built-in data interfaces ensure that your balance can communicate with a computer and peripheral de­vices.
Your balance is distinguished primarily, however, by its user friendliness: You attach the weighing cell to the evalua­tion unit, connect the balance to the power supply and after 60 minutes warm-up time (with an acclimatized balance) you can immediately start weighing. You thus obtain your first weighing result in an extremely short time.
The MT/UMT microbalances offer you the operating convenience and the pos­sibilities that to date were possible only with analytical balances. There is, how­ever, no need for you to grapple at the moment with functions you will not need until later.
In this first section you will find out how simply you can start up your new bal­ance and perform normal weighings.

Unpack your balance
Your balance is dispatched to you in a rugged packaging that you should store in a safe place for possible future trans­port of the balance.
As soon as you have decided on a suit­able location, remove all components of your new balance from the packag­ing.
Set up the balance
You can set up the weighing cell to the left or right of the evaluation unit. The flexible arrangement of the balance allows optimum adaptation to your method of working and to the available space.
Connect the evaluation unit and the weighing cell
- Plug the supplied connection cable into connection socket 7 of the evaluation unit (marked with “For connection to weighing cell only”) and plug the other end into connec­tion socket 19 of the weighing cell (marked with “For connection to evaluation unit only”). It is immate­rial which end of the cable you con­nect to the evaluation unit or the weighing cell.
- The screws of the cable connectors have holes and can be sealed to prevent inadvertent separation of weighing cell and evaluation unit.

Mount the weighing pan and the draft shield
- The MT balances are supplied with mounted weighing pan. You thus only need to mount the glass cover on draft shield 12 of the weighing cell.
- The UMT balances have a smaller weighing pan than the MT balances (to avoid cornerload errors). The weighing pan is already mounted, on delivery. You thus need only mount the glass cover on the draft shield 12 of the weighing cell.
Level your balance
- Turn the two screw feet 18 at the rear of the weighing cell housing un­til the air bubble is in the middle of level 16.
Connect your balance to the power supply
- Connect the AC adapter supplied to connection socket 9 at the rear of the evaluation unit and then to the power supply.
Operating instructions METTLER TOLEDO MT/UMT balances
- The AC adapter can either be plac­ed on the bench or, to save space, mounted on the wall. The AC adap­ter holder and the installation set with dowels and screws are used for this. Appropriate details are given in Section 6.1.

After connection, your balance is on standby. If your balance is already acclimatized (depending on the tem­perature difference between the old and new location, this takes 6 to 12 hours), it provides you with the first reliable results after 60 minutes warm­up time. After approximately 2 hours you can count on very accurate weigh­ing results.

1.3 Weighing made simple

- By pressing the «On/Off» key you switch your balance from standby to the weighing mode. The balance now automatically performs a brief self-test and all display segments light up briefly.
At the end of the self-test, the bal­ance determines the zero point. This very precise measurement takes several seconds, depending on the stability and acclimatization of the balance.
- If the draft shield is open, you can close it by pressing one of the two keys or or manually by turning door handle 14.

Some additional tips:
- If you have made a mistake during weighing, there is no need to worry: Simply switch off your balance briefly and then switch it on again. You will later learn of other possibili­ties to bring your MT/UMT to weigh­ing readiness again.
- You can also effect the zeroing (tar­ing) of the balance using the foot or hand switch (available as an ac­cessory) attached to the balance via connection 3. Operation with the foot switch leaves both your hands free for loading the balance.

operating convenience
2.1 An ergonomic glass draft
shield
The small, circular glass draft shield reduces the contact surface for disturb­ing thermal influences and thanks to the narrow framework allows an unre­stricted view of the weighing sample.
The weighing chamber can be opened at the left or right. The balance is thus equally convenient to load for left- and right-handers.
You can operate the draft shield manu- ally in the traditional manner using door handle 14.

2.2 The DeltaTrac® - an in­formative display
The DeltaTrac® 22 is a supplement to the digital display 23. It provides you with a pictorial representation of the
weighing range in use and that still remaining. The dynamics of a weigh-
ing process can be followed on the DeltaTrac® extremely well. Simply ob­serve the DeltaTrac® during a weighing and you will immediately understand its function.
The DeltaTrac® gives you a new feel for weighing, even with special applica­tions, for example in repeated weighing in to a specified target value and in per­cent weighings. You will find further de­tails in Section 5.2.

2.3 How you can weigh in the coarse and fine range

Your balance is equipped with a switch key which you can use to switch from the ten times more accurate fine range to the coarse range.
This switching allows you to work in the range best suited to your needs.
If, for example, instead of a high resolu­tion you need a stable weighing result as rapidly as possible, you switch from the fine range to the course range us­ing the switch key. This makes your balance very fast and the weighing results are extremely stable.

Some additional tips:
- Not all menu options are constantly or exactly displayed in the form shown; some of them, e.g. the setting of reference weights (“Set 100%”) depend on additional settings in the configuration register, which we will introduce you to in Section 4 of these operating instruc­tions.
- If you are in the menu and press no key for about 1 minute, the bal­ance returns automatically to the weighing mode. Any changes in the settings made up to this point are ignored in this case.
- In the following 3 sections you will get to know three menu options (weighing process adapter, vibration adapter and automatic door func­tion) in detail. The additional setting options for special applications (weighing in reference weights for percent weighings or piece counting and the adjustment) will be introduc­ed in Section 5.

3.4 How to switch off the fully automatic door function

You are already familiar with the con­venient automatic door function of your balance from your first weighing. When the automatic door operation is switch­ed on, the draft shield closes automati­cally after the «Re-Zero» key (zeroing/ taring) or the «Print» key (printout of the weighing result, see Section 5.6) has been pressed. As soon as the weight display is stable, the draft shield is reopened for the next weighing op­eration (e.g. weighing in, loading the balance). The draft shield is thus al­ways in the correct position for the next weighing process. Routine work is par­ticularly facilitated by this automatic op­eration. It is also useful in the percent weighing (Section 5.2) and piece count­ing (Section 5.3) applications.
