1Introduction
Thank you for choosing a METTLER TOLEDO balance.
The balances of the XP line combine a large number of weighing and adjustment possibilities with exceptional
ly convenient operation.
In this chapter you will be given basic information about your balance. Please read right through this chapter
carefully even if you already have experience with METTLER TOLEDO balances. Please pay special attention to
the safety warnings!
The different models have different characteristics regarding equipment and performance. Special notes in the
text indicate where this makes a difference to operation.
The XP line comprises a range of balances which differ from each other in relation to their weighing range and
resolution.
The following features are common to all models of the XP lines:
●
Glass draft shield with motorized opening for precise weighing even in unstable environments.
●
Fully automatic adjustment "ProFACT" using internal weights.
●
Built-in level sensor, illuminated level indicator and Leveling Assistant for fast and easy leveling.
●
Built-in applications for normal weighing, statistics, formulation, piece counting, percent weighing, density,
differential weighing and LabX Client.
●
Integral RS232C interface.
●
Slot for second interface (optional).
●
Touch-sensitive graphics terminal ("Touch Screen") with color display.
●
Two programmable sensors for hands-off operation ("SmartSens") to speed up frequently recurring tasks.
A brief word about standards, guidelines, and methods of quality assurance: The balances comply with usual
standards and guidelines. They support standard procedures, specifications, working methods, and reports
according to GLP (Good Laboratory Practice). In this connection, records of working procedures and adjust
ments become very important; for this purpose we recommend you to use a printer from the METTLER TOLEDO
range, since these are optimally adapted to your balance. The balances conform to the applicable standards
and guidelines and possess a EC declaration of conformity. METTLER TOLEDO is certified as manufacturer
according to ISO9001 and ISO14001.
The Operating Instructions for the XP balances consist of 3 separate documents, whose contents are listed

– Do not use sharply pointed objects to operate the keyboard! Although your balance is very
ruggedly constructed, it is nevertheless a precision instrument. Treat it with corresponding
care.
– Do not open the balance: It does not contain any parts which can be maintained, repaired,
or replaced by the user. If you ever have problems with your balance, contact your METTLER

CAUTION
Damage of Device
Use only the original universal AC adapter delivered with your balance, and check that the
voltage printed on it is the same as your local power supply voltage. Only plug the adapter
into a socket which is grounded.

Instructions for unpacking, re-packing, and setting up
4.3Selecting a Location
Choose a position which is stable, free from vibration, and as nearly
horizontal as possible. The supporting surface must be able to bear
the weight of the fully loaded balance safely.
Avoid the following:
●
Direct sunlight
●
Draft (e.g. from fans or air conditioning)
●
Excessive fluctuations in temperature.
Further information can be found in Weighing the Right Way.
Observe ambient conditions. See Technical Data (page28).
Note
If the balance is not horizontal from the beginning, it will have to be
leveled during initial operation. See Leveling the Balance (page25).
13Setting up the Balance
4.4Assembling the Balance
1 Remove the transport protection (1).
2 Insert the drip tray (2).
Push the tray in from the front over the bottom plate as far as the
partition.
– Insert the grid weighing pan from the front.
Check that the grid weighing pan (1) (2) is correctly hooked in at
both sides.
1 Insert the top door of the draft shield (1) at an angle (slightly less
than 30 degrees) into the guide positioned at the back.
2 Swivel the draft-shield door (2) carefully down, see figure.
The handles (A) must be turned toward the outside to allow instal
lation of the side draft shield doors!
1 Insert the side doors of the draft shield according to the following
instructions, see figure below.
2 Insert the side door at an angle of approx. 30° into the 2 openings,
see figure.
3 Check that the side door is correctly inserted as shown!
4 Swivel the side door up against the balance until it engages with a
click.
5 The side door must run easily, otherwise it is not correctly inserted.
6 Insert the second side door of the draft shield.
The procedure is identical.
7 Push the side doors completely to the back.
14 Setting up the Balance
1 Insert the front glass (2) of the draft shield.
2 In the bottom part of the balance at the front, move at an angle
from the top toward the bottom until the two hooks of the front
glass of the draft shield lie on the rollers (1).
3 Swivel the front glass of the draft shield up until it engages.
1 Insert the terminal support.
2 First lay the cable in the guide by the terminal support.
3 Insert the terminal support into the opening of the front glass of the
draft shield.
The terminal support must engage with a click.
1 Mount the terminal.
2 Place the terminal in the center of the support.
3 Push it against the balance until it swivels slightly down at the front
by the terminal support.
You can push the cable into the balance.
Attention
The balance and the terminal are not fastened together by the terminal support! When transporting by hand,
always hold the balance and the terminal firmly, see Transporting the Balance (page19).
Note
You can also place the terminal free of the terminal support anywhere around the balance where the length of
the cable allows.
15Setting up the Balance
4.5Intermediate Shelf Draft Shield
You can use the intermediate shelf to reduce the volume of the weighing chamber. So that the balance shows
the result faster. You also have the option of acclimatizing the weighing material on the intermediate shelf.
Inserting the intermediate shelf
1 Open all draft shield doors.
2 Raise the front of the top draft shield door (1) and pull it out of the
guide.
Lay the top draft shield door on a clean surface.
1 From the top, guide the
intermediate shelf (2) into
the guides of the middle
guiderail.
2 Position it at the desired
height (3).
3 Re-insert the top draft shield
door (1), see Assembling
the Balance (page14).
4.6Power Supply
●
Your balance is delivered complete with an AC adapter and a country-specific power supply cable. The AC
adapter is suitable for all power supply voltages in the range of: 100 – 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, for exact speci
fications, see Technical Data (page28).
16 Setting up the Balance
WARNING
Risk of electric shock
– Ensure that the AC power pack for the balance is only used in accordance with the specifi
cations listed in chapter General Data.
– Your instrument is supplied with a 3-pin power cable with an equipment grounding con
ductor. Only extension cables which meet this relevant standards and also have an equip
ment grounding conductor may be used. Intentional disconnection of the equipment ground
ing conductor is prohibited.
