2.4 Setting up, leveling, preparations for weighing below the balance, connecting to power supply
The optimum location
The correct location makes an important contribution to the accuracy of the weighing results of high-resolution
analytical and precision balances.
Hence, ensure a
• stable, vibration-free position as horizontal as possible
Avoid
• direct sunlight
• excessive temperature fluctuations
• drafts
The best location is on a stable bench in a corner protected against drafts, as far away as possible from doors,
windows, radiators or the louvers of air conditioners.
Antitheft device
B-S/FACT balances are equipped with a lug for the optional antitheft device.
The antitheft device (cable with lock) is suitable for all models. It is available from METTLER TOLEDO unter
the order number 590101.
9
10
Leveling
B-S/FACT balances have a spirit level and two 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.
Procedure
Adjust the two leveling feet appropriately until the air bubble comes to rest exactly in the middle of the glass:
Air bubble at “12 o›clock” turn both feet counterclockwise
Air bubble at “3 o›clock” turn left foot clockwise, right foot counterclockwise
Air bubble at “6 o›clock” turn both feet clockwise
Air bubble at “9 o›clock” turn left foot counterclockwise, right foot clockwise
Note
The balance should be leveled and adjusted (Section 2.5) each time it is moved to a new location.
Preparations for weighing below the balance
To carry out weighing operations below the balance, the special cover on the underside of the balance must
be slackened (care: when doing this the balance may only be laid on its side, not turned upside down!),
turned through 180° and retightened. This exposes the opening for the hanger, making weighing below the
balance possible.
Connecting the power supply
➞ Before connecting the AC adapter, check that the voltage printed on it corresponds to the local mains
voltage. If this is not the case, please contact your local METTLER TOLEDO dealer.
➞ Plug the AC adapter into the AC adapter socket on the balance, and connect to the power supply.
➞ The balance performs a self-test. This test is finished when “OFF” appears.
➞ Press the «On» key briefly: the balance is in operational readiness. Before any work is performed with the
balance, it must be adjusted (Section 2.5).
Notes
To achieve accurate results with analytical balances (AB-S/FACT), these must be connected to the power
supply for at least 60 minutes to warm up to operating temperature before the first weighing operation is
carried out.
An optional AccuPac B-S (rechargeable external battery) can be used to operate all B-S/FACT balances independently of the mains power supply
2.5 Adjusting (calibration)
To obtain accurate weighing results, the balance must be adjusted to match the gravitational acceleration at
its location. Adjusting is necessary:
The factory setting is fully automatic adjustment FACT (Fully Automatic Calibration Technologiy) with the
internal weight (see also Section 4.3.3). In this setting, you have no need worry about adjusting your balance.
The balance adjusts itself automatically
• after the warm-up phase on connection to the power supply,
• when a change in the ambient conditions, e.g. the temperature could lead to a noticeable deviation in the
measurement.
2.5.2 Manual adjustment (calibration)
To obtain accurate results, the balance must be connected to the power supply for 30 minutes (AB-S/FACT
analytical balances 60 minutes) in order to reach operating temperature before adjusting.

4.3.8 Measurement release (Repeatability) (8th menu option)
(Only on AB135-S/FACT / AB265-S/FACTmodels)
You can use this setting to specify how rapidly the balance considers the measurement value to be stable and
releases it. The “FASt” setting is recommended if you require rapid results and their repeatability is of secondary
importance. The “rELiAbLE” setting gives very good repeatibility of the measurement results, but lengthens the
stabilization time. When the balance is set to “FASt -rELiAbLE” (fast and reliable), the weight display is quickly
released as stable, and gives good repeatability. This is the factory setting.

5.4 Weighing with free factor and/or selectable display increments
In this menu option a custom “free factor” can be defined at will.
This value is then either multiplied (“F FAC M”) by the weighing result (in grams), i.e. reading = factor x
weight, or it is divided (“F FAC d”) by the weight, i.e. reading = factor / weight. The range of possible factors
depends on the resolution of the balance. Common values are:
F FAC d 1 to 10'000
F FAC M < 1 to 10'000
The “free factor” (FAC M) function can, for example, be used to calculate the price of the material weighed
directly or to calculate the weight per defined unit of surface area. It can also be used to convert the weight into
any desired alternative unit. This facility for dividing the factor by the weight (FAC d) is required for instance
in the textile industry to determine yarn count.
The ability to select the display increments makes it possible to specify how the weighing result is to be
presented, the choice of display increments being limited by the set factor and the resolution of the balance
model itself.
Requirement
The function “F FAC M” or “F FAC d” must be activated in the menu (Section 4).
Entering the free factor and/or the display increments

➞ Pressing the «“» key increases the value of the blinking numeral. The point appears after the numeral
9, and then the numeral 0 reappears.
Note: The point appears in the selection only if a point was not used in the preceding places.
Pressing the key once changes the value by one increment.
➞ Pressing the «±» key moves the position of the numeral to be changed to the right. After the last place,
the position shifts back to the first place.
➞ Hold the «±» key down until the selected factor is confirmed (no automatic acceptance). “StEP” ap-
pears in the display. The program automatically changes to the entry of the display increments. As standard, the smallest possible display increment or the value last saved, if this is still valid, appears.
Note: “Error” is displayed instead of “StEP”: The factor entered lies outside the valid range. The program
then defaults to the value Factor Min. or Factor Max., which can be changed or accepted.
This value can be changed in the same way as for the free factor (see above).
➞ Hold the «±» key down until the selected display increment is confirmed (no automatic acceptance).
“StorEd” appears in the display. The program automatically changes to the weight display.
Note: Displays “Error” instead of “StorEd”. The display increment entered lies outside the valid range. The
program then defaults to the value Step Min. or Step Max., which can be changed or accepted.
➞ Press the «“» key. The weight of the object in the pan is calculated with the selected factor and dis-
played in the selected increment size. The symbol “#” appears instead of a weight unit. The weight is
calculated in grams.
Note
If you only want to change the display increments, set the free factor at exactly 1.

The wide range of features of the B-S/FACT balances regarding documentation of the
results can not be exploited to the full until a printer, e.g. the RS-P26 or LC-P45 from
METTLER TOLEDO is attached. The printed results make a decisive contribution to a simple way of working in compliance with GLP/GMP.
6.3 MT-SICS Interface commands and functions
Many of the balances and scales 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.
Basic information on data interchange with the balance
The balance receives commands from the system and acknowledges the command
with an appropriate response.
Command formats
Commands sent to the balance comprise one or more characters of the ASCII character
set. Here, the following must be noted:
• Enter commands only in uppercase.
• The possible parameters of the command must be separated from one another and
from the command name by a space (ASCII 32 dec., in this description represented
/).
as
• The possible input for “text” is a sequence of characters of the 8-bit ASCII character set
from 32 dec to 255 dec.
• Each command must be closed by C
The characters CRLF, which can be inputted using the Enter or Return key of most entry
keypads, are not listed in this description, but it is essential they be included for communication with the balance.
(ASCII 13 dec., 10 dec.).
RLF
Example
S – Send stable weight value
Command SSend the current stable net weight value.
Response S/S/WeightValue/UnitCurrent stable weight value in unit actually set

7.3Maintenance and cleaning
42
Service
Regular servicing of your balance by a service technician prolongs its working
life. Ask your METTLER TOLEDO dealer for details of servicing options.
Cleaning
Every now and then, clean the weighing pan, draftshield element, draftshield
(depending on the model) and housing of your balance using a damp cloth. Your
balance is made of high-quality, durable materials and can therefore be cleaned
with a standard, mild cleaning agent.
Please observe the following notes
• On no account use cleaning agents, which contain solvents or
abrasive ingredients, as this can result in damage to the terminal
overlay.
• After working with chemicals, it is advisable to wash or clean the
weighing pan and the bottom plate (if draft shield fitted).
• Although all materials are of high quality, corrosion may occur
if corrosive substances are deposited on chrome steel for an
extended period of time (and if air is excluded, for example by a
coating of grease).
• 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.
• Soiled protective covers can be replaced on all balance types
(see Optional equipment).
