Subject to technical changes and to the availability
Thank you for purchasing a METTLER TOLEDO MT/UMT microbalance.
The MT/UMT balances open up a new dimension in microweighing: They combine extreme precision and a wide range of weighing and
setting options with an exceptional ease of operation.
Please read these operating instructions through carefully so that you can utilize all possibilities offered by your balance to the full. These
operating instructions also offer valuable support in the form of a glossary and an index.
The present operating instructions apply to all METTLER TOLEDO balances of the MT/UMT series. As the various models have different
performance characteristics, however, special mention is made in the text where this is important for the operation.
Please read through the enclosed booklet “Weighing the right way”. It is intended as a supplement to these operating instructions and
contains additional important tips and information.
If you fold out this page, you will have an overview of your balance that shows you all features at a glance.
Safety has priority
–It is essential you consult the instructions in section 1.2 regarding putting your new balance into operation.
–The MT/UMT balances may be operated only when connected to receptacle outlets with a ground connection.
–The MT/UMT balances must not be operated in hazardous surroundings.
–Never open the balance, it contains no parts which can be serviced, repaired or changed by the user. In the
unlikely event you experience problems with your balance, please contact the responsible service facility.
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.

1.2Preparing your balance
If you fold out the front fold-out, you
have in front of you an immediate
overview of all general illustrations
at a glance.
You need undertake the following
operations only on first-time installation
and each time you change the balance
location.

Additional tips and information regarding an optimum location can be found
in the METTLER TOLEDO brochure “Weighing the right way”, which is
enclosed with 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.

4
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.
-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.
1.3Weighing 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 orhand 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.

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.
2.3How 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.

You have the following selectable
ranges available:

UMT50.1 µg1 µg1 / 0.1 µg
With the «10/1 µg» key of the MT balance or the «1/0.1 µg» key of the UMT
balance, you can switch between the
fine range and the coarse range:
-...the balance operates in the
coarse range.
12.644 mg
-By pressing the «10/1 µg»
(or «1/0.1 µg») key again, you can

For the optimization of your weighing
results and adaptation to your weighing
needs, your balance offers you additional setting options. You undertake
these adaptations in the menu, which
you will now be introduced to.
You can set additional parameters in
the second menu tree of your MT/UMT,
the configuration register (section 4).

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 nokey for about 1 minute, the balance returns automatically to theweighing 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.
This is the universal setting suitable in principle for all types of
weighing. This setting is preset in
types of weighing
the factory.
Your balance can be matched to different types of weighing (fine dispensing,
absolute weighing, etc.) very simply.
For this purpose, it is equipped with the
so-called weighing process adapter,
which can be set in the menu.

3.4How 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.
