4.3 Location
An optimal location will ensure accurate and reliable operation of the balance. The surface must be able to
safely take the weight of the balance when fully loaded. The following local conditions must be observed:
Note
If the balance is not horizontal at the outset, it must be leveled during commissioning.
Installation and Putting into Operation 21Precision Balances
• The balance must only be used indoors and up to a

4 First position the draft shield door at the bottom (2) and then swivel it upwards (3) until you feel it
snap into place, see diagram.
Attention
Check that the draft shield door is inserted correctly. The door must close easily. When transporting the
balance, except for the terminal, also hold the draft shield, as this is fitted and not permanently
connected to the weighing platform.

WARNING
Risk of electric shock
a) To connect the balance, only use the supplied three-core power cable with equipment
grounding conductor.
b) Only connect the balance to a three-pin power socket with earthing contact.
c) Only standardized extension cable with equipment grounding conductor must be used
for operation of the balance.
d) Intentional disconnection of the equipment grounding conductor is forbidden.
S weighing platform
The balance is supplied with an AC adapter and country-specific power cable. The AC adapter is suitable for
use with the following voltage range:
100 – 240 VAC, 50/60Hz.
Attention
• Check whether your local power supply falls within this range. If this is not the case, under no circumstances connect the AC adapter to the power supply, but contact a METTLER TOLEDO representative.
• The power plug must be accessible at all times.
• Prior to use, check the power cable for damage.
• Route the cable in such a way that it cannot be damaged or cause a hindrance when working.
• Ensure that no liquid comes into contact with the AC adapter.
Connecting S weighing platform
§ Balance and terminal are at the final location.
1 Connect the AC adapter (1) to the connection socket (2) at
the rear of the balance.
2 Connect the AC adapter (1) to the power supply.
ð The balance performs a self-test after connection to the
power supply and is then ready to use.

4.6 Setting up the balance
4.6.1 Weighing for the first time
After commissioning the new balance, the first weighing can be carried out. This will also familiarize you
with the operation of the balance.
4.6.1.1 Switching on the balance
§ Balance is connected to the power supply.
§ Terminal and balance are interconnected.
- To switch on, press [
ð Display appears.
ð Balance is ready to use.
4.6.1.2 Leveling the balance
Balances with readability of 1 mg, S platform and L platform
1 Align the balance horizontally.
2 Turning the leveling screws of the housing until the air
bubble is in the inner circle of the level indicator.
ð The position of the air bubble illustrates which leveling
screw you need to turn (L = left leveling screw, R = right
leveling screw) and in which direction so that the air
bubble moves to the center.
Example
In this example, turn the left leveling screw counterclockwise.

1 Remove the clamps (1) for the safety feet by turning them
outwards.
Attention
Turn the clamps (1) outwards as far as they will go (~
90°), so that the safety feet can move freely.
2 Now level the balance by turning both leveling screws (2)
as shown above until the air bubble is in the inner circle of
the level indicator.
3 Secure the safety feet by turning the clamps (1) inwards as
far as they will go.
Note
The balance must be leveled and adjusted each time it is
moved to a new location.
4.6.1.3 Performing a simple weighing
To perform a simple weighing, only the keys in the lower part of the terminal are required. The balance has
separate keys for zeroing [
] and taring [ ].
Zeroing
- Press [
ð Zeroing
After zeroing, all weights also the tare weight apply to this new zero point and the following apply: tare
weight = 0, net weight = gross weight = 0.
].
Taring
Note
A negative weight is not permitted. An error message is generated. When the stability detector icon
extinguishes (small ring left of the weight display), the indication is stable. The weight is displayed.
§ If a weighing container is used, the balance must first be set
to zero.
1 Place the container on the balance.
2 Press [
ð The balance is tared.
ð The weight of the container is set as the new tare weight and
the previous tare (if available) is overwritten.
ð The Net display signals that all indicated weights are net
weights.
].
Congratulations!
The first weighing is now complete. The following sections contain further information about the extensive
functions and applications of this balance.
