1.2 Introducing the XP/XS micro and ultra-micro balances
The XP/XS family of micro and ultra-micro balances 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/XS micro and ultra-micro balances:
– Glass draft shield for precise weighing even in unstable environments (XP models with motorized drive.
– Fully automatic adjustment using internal weights (“ProFact” on XP models, “FACT” on XS models).
– Leveling aid for fast and easy leveling (XP models only).
– Built-in applications for normal weighing, statistics, formulation, piece counting, percent weighing, density, differential weighing ((XP
models only) and LabX Client.
– Integral RS232C interface and slot for an optional interface.
– Touch-sensitive graphics terminal (“TouchScreen”) with color (XP models) or monochrome display (XS models).
– Two programmable sensors for hands-off operation (“SmartSens”) to speed up frequently recurring tasks (XP models).
A brief word about standards, guidelines, and methods of quality assurance: The XP/XS micro and ultra-micro balances comply with usual
standards and guidelines. They support standard procedures,specifications, working methods, and reports according to GLP (Good Labo-
ratory Practice), and allow the creation of SOPs (Standard Operating Procedure). In this connection, records of working procedures and
adjustments 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 XP/XS micro and ultra-micro balances conform to the applicable standards and guidelines
and possess a CE declaration of conformity. METTLER TOLEDO is certified as manufacturer according to ISO 9001 and ISO 1400.
1.3 Conventions and symbols used in these operating instructions
The following conventions apply throughout both operating instruction (Part 1 and Part 2):
– Key designations are indicated by double angular parentheses (e.g. «On/Off» or «E»).

1.4 Safety first
Always operate and use your balance only in accordance with the instructions contained in this manual.
The instructions for setting up your new balance must be strictly observed.
If the instrument is not used according to the manufacturer’s Operating Instructions, protection of the instrument may be
impaired.
It is not permitted to use the balance in hazardous environments.
Use only the 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.
Do not use sharply pointed objects to operate the keyboard of your balance!
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 TOLEDO dealer.
Use only balance accessories and peripheral devices from METTLER TOLEDO; they are
optimally adapted to your balance.
