1 Introduction
Thank you for choosing a METTLER TOLEDO balance.
The balances of the XPR line combine a large number of weighing and adjustment possibilities with excep-
tionally convenient operation.
The XPR 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 XPR line:
• Fully automatic adjustment using internal weights.
• Built-in level sensor and leveling aid for fast and easy leveling.
• Seven inch capacitive color TFT-touchscreen.
• Various methods that can be defined individually.
• Various routine tests that can be defined individually.
• Functions to manage user groups and user rights.
• Functions to collect data such as settings that have been changed or objects that have been deleted/added.
Disclaimer for comparators
In this document, the term "balance" is used to describe both balances and comparators.
Comparators are characterized by their higher resolution compared to balances and are mainly used for differ-
ential weighing application, such as the calibration of standard weights. Beside standard balance tests,
comparators have also been tested with differential repeatability (ABA repeatability) during production.
This information is valid for models of the line/s:
XPR2004SC XPR26003LC
XPR5004SC XPR32003LD5C

Good Weighing Practice (GWP®) is a program started by
METTLER TOLEDO to help customers operate their weighing
equipment in a safe and efficient way. It covers every relevant
step in the life cycle of the instrument and provides clear guidance
on how to specify, calibrate and operate weighing instruments.
The GWP Approved mode observes if the following conditions are
given:
• Use of an appropriate tolerance profile.
• FACT was successful.
• Required tests were successful.
• Setting up of enforced leveling.
• No MinWeigh violation.
If all conditions are given, the balance adds the GWP Approved
sign behind every weighing result.
The GWP Approved mode can only be enabled by a METTLER
TOLEDO service technician.

Blocking
A blocking means closedown of the balance. A reason for such "full blocking" can have a serious background.
If the balance has a defect or a loss of the weighing quality, the user can block the balance completely. To
perform a blocking, see below.
Another way to blocking is a logout. A reason for such "logout" is, for example, that a task is not completed
and the current user does not want somebody else to work with the balance. This is like a notice "hands off".
To perform a logout, see below.

6.1 Weighing Methods
6.1.1 Introduction
A weighing method is an application for carrying out specific weighing tasks. The balance offers the method
"General Weighing" with default parameters. You have the possibility to create a maximum of 50 methods and
edit the methods. You can use these methods for your weighing task or edit them according to your
requirements. Methods can also be deleted or cloned.
To support you while configuring new methods, a configuration wizard leads you through the whole process.
The changes performed to a method are recorded in the change history (if activated).
This chapter guides you step-by-step through the different methods. Next you will get an overview about all
possible methods, before all methods are explained separately. Every method section is composed as follows:
• 1. Method description
• 2. Creating a new method
• 3. Configure the method parameter
• 4. Perform the method
• 5. Clone the method
• 6. Delete the method
6.1.2 Methods Overview
In the section Methods list you get an overview of all possible methods. In this section new methods can be
defined, existing methods can be edited, cloned or deleted. It is also the starting point for using any method in
a weighing procedure.

6.1.3.1 Method description
This section describes the method General Weighing. The method General Weighing offers the basic weighing
functions (zeroing, taring, weighing). The method is used for simple weighing tasks or to perform a series of
check weighing or dosing.
This section describes how to create a new method with the method wizard, how to work with the method and
the method settings. The parameter of the weighing item (e.g. sample ID and target weight) can either be
entered manually or by using a template. Therefore two different methods exist:
• General Weighing: Select this method if you want to work without pre-defined templates.
• General Weighing with templates: Select this method if you want to use a template to define the
parameters for the weighing item. Templates are helpful to save time while weighing items with the same
parameters and to ensure the consistent use of the parameters. For further information see Using templates.
In the section Method settings the descriptions of the settings for both methods General Weighing and General
Weighing with templates can be found.
You have the possibility to start with method factory setting parameter or to create a new method with changed
method parameter.

6.1.6.1 Method description
This section describes the method Simple formulation. With the method Simple formulation the concentration
of a substance can automatically be calculated.
This section describes how to create a new method with the method wizard, how to work with the method and
the method settings. The parameter of the weighing item (e.g. sample ID and target weight) can either be
entered manually or by using a template. Therefore two different methods exist:
• Simple formulation: Select this method if you want to define the parameters for the weighing item ad-hoc
while weighing or pre-defined on a method level for all weighing items.
• Simple formulation with templates: Select this method if you want to use a template to define the
parameters for the weighing item. Templates are helpful to safe time while weighing items with the same
parameters and to ensure the consistent use of the parameters. For further information see Using templates.
In the section Method settings the settings for both methods Simple formulation and Simple formulation with
templates can be found.
