2.2 Product safety information
Intended use
Your balance is used for weighing. Use the balance exclusively for this purpose. Any other type of use and
operation beyond the limits of technical specifications without written consent from Mettler-Toledo GmbH, is
considered as not intended.
It is not permitted to use the instrument in explosive atmosphere of gases, steam, fog, dust
and flammable dust (hazardous environments).
General safety information
This balance complies with current industry standards and the recognized safety regulations; however, it
can constitute a hazard in use. Do not open the balance housing: The balance contains no user-serviceable
parts. In the event of problems, please contact a METTLER TOLEDO representative.
Always operate and use your instrument only in accordance with the instructions contained in this manual.

may be impaired and METTLER TOLEDO assumes no liability.
Staff safety
These operating instructions must be read and understood before using the balance. These operating
instructions must be retained for future reference.
Safety Information8 Analytical Balances
The balance must not be altered or modified in any way. Only use METTLER TOLEDO original spare parts
and accessories.
Safety notes
WARNING
Risk of electric shock
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.
CAUTION
Damage to the balance
1 Only use indoors in dry locations.
2 Do not use pointed objects to operate the touch screen!
The balance is of a very sturdy design, but is still a precision instrument. It must be
handled with care.
3 Do not open the balance:
The balance contains no user-serviceable parts. In the event of problems, please
contact a METTLER TOLEDO representative.
4 Only use METTLER TOLEDO original accessories and peripheral devices for the
balance.
These are specifically designed for the balance.

4.3 Selecting the 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.
• The balance must only be used indoors and up to a
maximum altitude of 4,000 m above sea level.
• Before switching on the balance, wait until all parts are at
room temperature (+5 to 40°C).
The humidity must be between 10% and 80% noncondensing.
• The power plug must be accessible at all times.
• Firm, horizontal and vibration-free location.
• Avoid direct sunlight.
• No excessive temperature fluctuations.
• No strong drafts.

1
WARNING
Risk of electric shock
1 To connect the balance, only use the supplied three-core power cable with equipment
grounding conductor.
2 Only connect the balance to a three-pin power socket with earthing contact.
3 Only standardized extension cable with equipment grounding conductor must be used
for operation of the balance.
4 Intentional disconnection of the equipment grounding conductor is forbidden.
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 circum-
stances 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.
§ 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.

ð Display appears.
ð Balance is ready to use.
Leveling the balance
The balance has a built-in level sensor which permanently monitors correct horizontal alignment.
If the balance is not exactly level, a warning text is generated after switching on the balance with the request
to level the balance.
If the level sensor detects incorrect leveling, the status light at
the terminal shows red. A warning text is displayed and an
audible warning generated. A status icon also appears in the
top right corner of the display.
1 To start the leveling assistant, tap [LevelGuide] in the
warning message.

2 Observe the level indicator on the screen.
ð The air bubble in the level indicator shows red with
incorrect alignment.

].
4.6.1 Handle for operation of the side draft shield doors
The draft shield of the balance can be adjusted to the ambient conditions, weighing method and material to
be weighed.
The position of the handles determines which draft shield doors (left, right or both) are opened.
Try out different combinations by moving the handles up or down. We recommend setting the glass draft
shield so that only the door required for loading is opened. The balance then operates faster due to less
disturbing air flows than with a fully open glass draft shield.
Note
It is recommended to make connections when the draft shield is closed.
Installation and Putting into Operation 23Analytical Balances
1 Move the side door handle downwards.
2 Move the doors fully back.
4.6.2 Performing a simple weighing
After commissioning the new balance, the first weighing can be carried out. This will also familiarize you
with the operation of the balance.
To perform a simple weighing, only the keys in the lower part of the terminal are required. The balance has
separate keys for zeroing [

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.

Before mounting an ErgoClip, the balance must be switched off with the [
Important note!
If the balance is not switched off before mounting, the ProFACT function will not be activated.
