5.1 Adjustment/Test

Introduction for adjustment and tests

This section applies to the configuration of the balance for carrying out adjustments and tests.
§ The balance is assembled and installed as stated in the operating instructions.
§ The balance is leveled.
1 Connect the printer to printout settings or reports.
2 Activate the printer as an output device in the peripheral device settings.
Principles for carrying out adjustments and tests
Balances play a decisive role in research, development, quality assurance and production. Weighing errors cost time and money and non-compliance with legal requirements can be detrimental to health. Good Weighing Practice™ (GWP®) is the science based global weighing standard for the efficient life cycle management of weighing systems. The risk-based approach allows you to improve control of your whole measuring process, which in turn helps to avoid costly out of specification results. Our Feasible Cost Savings Optimized routine testing based on your risk management ensures consistently good quality in critical applications. Additionally, a sound testing scheme saves costs by eliminating unnecessary tests in lower risk processes.
Test Manager was specially developed, as part of our balance firmware, to simplify routine tests. In combination with GWP® Verification, efficient balance testing is ensured and specific audit requirements can be fulfilled more easily.

Test Manager
Test Manager is a collection of security functions for the balance. These individually programmable
functions help to maintain measuring accuracy via e.g. routine testing of the balance with external test weights. By providing active support with respect to test requests and predefined guided sequences will ensure that outstanding tests are not forgotten and complex tasks such as repeatability tests can be carried out easily.
Additional functions were developed to prevent measuring errors. These are, e.g. temperature sensors that can register possible temperature changes in the measuring cell and initiate adjustment by using internal weights which facilitate and maintain consistent accuracy.
The flexibility and customization of the test manager results in user guidance and appropriate messages, while performing specific operations, followed by complete records and documentation via printout or in conjunction with PC software.
The configuration process
In order to prepare the balance for a routine test and adjustment, a straightforward 3-stage process is required:
1 Register the test weights.
ð Information relating to all test weights is stored in a balance database.
2 Define the test sequence.
ð Describes the type of test (method) and the test weight and tolerance to be carried out.
3 Carry out the test sequence. ð The task defines when and how the test sequence must be started and carried out.
Documentation and storage
To ensure the traceability of adjustments and tests, it is important to print the settings and periodically the results of the test history.
The results are stored in the test history up to a maximum of 120 entries. When this limit is reached, the oldest results are overwritten.
Each time the test sequence is changed, the version number is increased and displayed in the right top corner of the display. It is recommended to print and file each new version in a folder.
A complete list of individual settings can be printed by pressing the [ open.

5.4 Peripherals

Various peripheral devices can be connected to the balance interface(s). This menu can be used to define the devices to be connected and interface parameters.
Each balance application supports specific peripheral devices. The control of peripheral devices can vary from application to application.
There are specific interface setting options for each of these devices. [Off] means that no device of this type is connected. [RS232 built-in] denotes the default installed RS232C interface. If further optional interfaces are available, these are displayed [RS232 Option]. At this point, only the parameters of the default installed RS232C interface are described.
Important
Only a single device can be activated for each available interface; all devices must be deactivated [Off]. When a new device is activated, the previously selected device is automatically deactivated.
The arrow buttons can be used to page forward or back to a menu page.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is used to automatically assign to the client PC a currently unused IP address from an address pool. Other information such as the domain name, standard gateway and specific DNS server can also be transferred to the client.
Defines the IP address in the format "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" (X=0…255). The IP address must be distinctive within a corporate network and conform to the conventions for IP addresses.
Defines the subnet in the format "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" (X=0…255). The subnet mask is used to inform the routers within a network which bits in the four quads in the IP address are significant for routing in the search for the addressed computer within a specific network.
Defines the Standard Gateway Address in the format "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" (X=0…255). This may be necessary if the network is connected to another network via a router. A gateway denotes the transition between two networks. A gateway computer is a special computer connected to both networks. Different protocols are converted in certain circum­stances. A gateway can also be a transition from a logical (often also purely organizational) network to another, whereby both used the same protocol.
Defines the Domain Name Server Address in the format "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" (X=0…255). If domain names for calling network users are supported in the TCP/IP network, the domain name server address must be entered here.

MinWeigh
The MinWeigh function ensures that the weighing results are within defined tolerances appropriate to the requirements of your quality assurance system.
The service engineer will determine the required minimum weights based on your QA requirements and subsequently load these values into the balance. Up to 3 tare weights can be defined with the corresponding minimum weights. The service engineer will set the weighing parameters to the values required for the maintenance of tolerances.
See Weighing parameters [}49]. Note
After programming the balance, the service engineer will issue a certificate. This records the measurements and tolerances as well as corresponding tare and minimum weights for weighing. These settings cannot be changed by the user as long as the MinWeigh function is activated.

Like any precision instrument, the balance must be adjusted at regular intervals. The balance offers extensive options for adjustment and testing.
Deviations must be able to be identified at an early stage and process tolerances checked. The risk can be minimized by regular testing.
The adjustment is intended for adjusting the sensitivity of the balance. For this purpose, at least one reference weight is placed on the weighing pan either manually or motorized. This is weighed and the indicated weight is stored. The sensitivity of the balance is subsequently corrected by the required amount.
The test is intended for testing the sensitivity of the balance. See Settings for adjustments and tests [}35]. The balance is set to automatic adjustment with FACT at the factory. FACT adjusts the balance fully
automatically based on predefined criteria. Manual adjustments and/or tests can be carried out as required with the internal or an external weight.
If a printer is connected to the balance, the adjustments can be printed out according to user-specific settings.

Calculation of mean value and standard deviation
Notation
= Individual measured value of a series of measured values
= Mean value and standard deviation of these measured values
The mean value is given by:
(1)
The commonly used formula for the calculation of the standard deviation
(2)
(2) not suitable for numerical calculation, since in measurements where deviations between single values are very small, the square of the difference (between the single value and mean value) can lead to cancellation. In addition, when using this formula, each single measured value must be stored before the standard deviation can be finally determined.
The following formula is mathematically equivalent, but much more stable numerically. It can be derived by appropriate transformation from (1) and (2):
For the calculation of the mean value and standard deviation, only ,
and
need to be stored for the
use of this formula.
Standard deviation
The numerical stability can be further improved by measured value scaling. With
whereby
(depending on the application) is either the first measured value of a series of
measurements or the nominal value of a series of measurements, the following is obtained:
Mean value
The mean value is calculated accordingly:
Relative standard deviation
The relative standard deviation can be calculated using the formula:
percent
Number of digits in the results
The mean and standard deviation are always displayed and printed with one decimal place more than the corresponding single measured values. To be noted for interpretation of the results is that this additional decimal place has no significance for small series of measurements (less than about 10 measured values).
Statistics Application94 Precision Balances
Page 95
This applies similarly to percentages (e.g. relative standard deviation), which always has two decimal places (e.g. 13.45 percent). The significance of the decimal places depends similarly on the magnitude of the original values!

Header line of protocols
Use this sub-menu to define which data is printed in the protocol header (before the results). The header is printed automatically when the weight of the first component has been stored during
formulation by tapping the [M+] function key.
Recording of single values
This submenu can be used to define the information to be reported for each individual result. Single values are automatically printed during formulation by tapping the [M+] function key. A single value can also be printed separately by pressing the [
] key.
Recording of results
Here you can define which additional data is to be recorded in the results protocol. The result protocol can be printed by pressing the [
after taking over the last component of a formulation. You can define the following parameters:

Define the information to be printed in the protocol header (before the results).
Recipe ID = records the identification of the current formulation entered via the [ID] function key.
Define the information to be recorded for each single result. Comp. ID = records the identification of the current component
entered via the [ID] function key ID3. Lot ID = records the identification of the current component
entered via the [ID] function key ID2. Comp. Counter = records the current component counter
reading (consecutive number of current component). Net % = records the weight of the current component in % of
the nominal weight. Diff. % = records the percentage deviation of the actual weight
of the current component from its nominal weight.
Define which statistical data is to be recorded. Nominal Tot = records the total nominal weight of all
components of the current formulation. Net Tot = records the total net weight of all weighed
components.
