1.1 Introducing the B balance line

Several types of construction – uniform operation

The B balance line ranges from high-resolution analytical balances (AB balances) with a readability of 0.1 mg
via precision balances (PB balances) up to industrial balances (SB balances) with a readability from 0.1 g to
1 g. The weighing ranges extend from 51 g to 32 kg.

The operation of all these balances is identical.

Performance capabilities
In addition to basic weighing operations such as weighing, taring and adjusting (calibration), the following

functions can be activated (section 5):

• Piece counting

• Percent weighing

• Dynamic weighing for unstable weighing samples.

B balances can be optimally matched to the ambient conditions through appropriate setting of the vibration
adapter (section 4.2.3).
METTLER TOLEDO DeltaRange balances also have a movable fine range with 10 times smaller display
increments (section 3.4).
All B balances are fitted with an RS232C interface as standard (section 6.2).

Notes

• Certified versions of the B balances are also available, please ask your METTLER TOLEDO dealer for details.

• If you wish to build on what you have learned about weighing in these operating instructions, you will find
valuable tips in the booklet "Weighing the right way" 720906.

B balances have two operator control levels: the weighing mode and the menu. The keys have different
meanings, depending on the operator control level and how long a key is pressed.

2.1 Unpacking / standard equipment

All B balances are supplied in an environmentally harmless package. The standard equipment of the
B balances includes

• AC adapter, to national codes,

• weighing pan

• operating instructions, to allow optimum utilization of the capabilities of your balance,

• Description of interface commands (“MT-SICS Reference Manual, available in English only)

• calibration weight, with AB balances only,

• draft shield, mounted with AB balances, for mounting by user in the case of PB balances with a round

weighing pan.

Note

Adjusting weights can be ordered from METTLER TOLEDO for all other B balances, see section 6.2.

2.2 Cautionary notes

• B balances may not be operated in hazardous areas.

1)

• Before attachment of the AC adapter, check whether the imprinted voltage value matches the local supply
voltage. If it does not, contact your local dealer.

1)

With the PS-EX2 power supply unit available as an accessory, all B balances can be used in hazard
zone 2 (section 6.3).

2.3 Setting up

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 position is on a stable bench in a corner protected against drafts as far as possible from doors,
windows, radiators or the ventilation slots of air conditioners.

Note

If vibrations can not be prevented, the balance can still provide accurate results if the vibration adapter is set
accordingly, see section 4.2.3.

Antitheft device

B balances have provision for the attachment of an antitheft device.

The following antitheft devices are available:

• Bolt and lock (for AB, PB) 229175

• Cable lock (for all models) 590101

Leveling

B balances have a level control and adjustable leveling feet to compensate for slight irregularities in the
weighing bench surface. The balance is exactly horizontal when the air bubble 1 is in the middle.

Procedure

Turn the two leveling feet 2 and 3 as shown in the diagram or described in the table so that air bubble 1 is in
the middle.

Air bubble at "12-o-clock" turn both leveling feet clockwise
Air bubble at "3-o-clock" turn left leveling foot clockwise, right leveling foot counterclockwise
Air bubble at "6-o-clock" turn both leveling feet counterclockwise
Air bubble at "9-o-clock" turn left leveling foot counterclockwise, right leveling foot clockwise

Note

The balance must be releveled each time it is moved to a new location.

Connecting to the power supply

➞ Before connection of the AC adapter, check that the imprinted voltage value matches the local supply

voltage. If this is not the case, please contact your local METTLER TOLEDO dealer.

➞ Plug AC adapter into AC adapter socket of the balance and connect to the power supply.
➞ The balance performs a self-test. The test is finished when "OFF" appears.
➞ Press

On

briefly: balance is in operational readiness. Before any work is performed with the

balance, it must be adjusted (calibrated), (section 2.4).

Notes

To achieve accurate results with analytical balances (AB), these must be connected to the power supply for
20–30 minutes to warm up to the operating temperature. The PP-B10 PowerPack (rechargeable, external
battery) can be used to operate all B balances independently of the power supply (section 6.2).

8

2.4 Adjusting (calibration)

To obtain accurate weighing results, the balance must be matched to the acceleration due to gravity at its
location.

Adjusting is necessary

• before the balance is used for the first time,

• at regular intervals during weighing operations,

• after a change in location.

Procedure

To obtain accurate results, before adjusting the balance must be switched on for 20–30 minutes so that the
operating temperature will be reached.

➞ Have required adjusting weight ready (section 6.1).
➞ Unload weighing pan.
➞ Press and hold

Cal/Menu

until "CAL" appears in the display, release key.

The required adjusting weight value flashes in the display.

➞ Place adjusting weight in center of pan. The balance adjusts itself.
➞ When "0.00" flashes, remove adjusting weight.

The adjusting (calibration) is finished when "0.00 g" appears in the display. The balance is again in the
weighing mode and ready for operation.

Note

• Depending on national certification specifications, the adjusting may be locked with certified balances after
the installation.

• The adjustment can be terminated at any time using the
