6 Methods
The section Methods includes the weighing methods as well as test and adjustment procedures to check
the accuracy of the balance.
A weighing method is an application for carrying out specific weighing tasks. The balance offers various
predefined methods with default parameters. You can use this methods for your weighing task or editing
them according to your requirements. Predefined 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. To ensure that only
privileged user can edit the method settings, methods can get locked.

6.1.5 General Weighing
This section describes the method General Weighing. The method General Weighing offers the basic
weighing functions (zeroing, taring, weighing) with no process support. 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 define the parameters for the weighing item ad-hoc
while weighing or pre-defined on a method level for all weighing items.
• 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 safe time while weighing items with the same
parameters and to ensure the consistent use of the parameters. For further information see [Using
templates}Page56].
In the section [Method settings}Page41] the settings for both methods General Weighing and General
Weighing with templates can be found.

6.1.8 Using templates
This section describes how to work with templates.
Working with templates simplifies the task and improves the quality of the whole working process. Charac-
teristic information such as a certain target weight can be defined in a template and must not be defined for
every single weighing task. This may safe time especially when the weighing process consists of multiple
steps.
The methods General Weighing with templates and Simple formulation with templates are methods in
which templates are being used.
6.1.8.1 Defining templates
Before a template can be used in the weighing process, it must be defined. There are two ways to define
templates:
• The templates can be defined directly in the method creating process.
• The templates can be defined ad-hoc during a task.
Note
Defining templates is a single step in the method creating process. In this section we only describe how to
create templates. For more information about how defining a method see in the sections of the different
methods.

6.2 Tests
In this section routine tests such as sensitivity tests, repeatability tests or eccentricity tests can be defined,
edited and performed. Routine tests can be performed to ensure accurate weighing results according to
GWP® or other QM systems. Therefore the tests should be performed in fixed, regular intervals depending
on your QM system and the results should be documented in a traceable way.

Methods > Tests
6.2.1 Sensitivity test
The sensitivity of the balance defines the degree of responsiveness to a change of load. In other words the
sensitivity defines the minimal variation in mass the balance can detect. Therefore, a mass smaller than the
sensitivity of a balance will not be detectable. The sensitivity test allows you to measure the sensitivity using
one or two test points.
The following test types are available:
• Sensitivity - 1test point: To test sensitivity of the balance with one test weight.
• Sensitivity - 2test points: To test sensitivity of the balance with two test weights.
• Sensitivity - Tare - 1test point: To test sensitivity of the balance with two test weights. The first test
weight (tare weight) is used to simulate a tare container.
• Sensitivity - Tare - 2test points: To test sensitivity of the balance with three test weights. The first test
weight (tare weight) is used to simulate a tare container.
6.2.2 Repeatability test
The repeatability test calculates the mean and standard deviation of a series of measurements with a single
test weight in order to determine the repeatability of the balance.
Repeatability is a measure of the ability of a balance to supply the same result in repetitive weighings with
one and the same load under the same measurement conditions. During the test, the same load is placed
and measured in different parts of the weighing pan. Afterwards, the difference between the measured
weight values is calculated. The spread of the measured results implies the repeatability.
Note
Repeatability is highly affected by the ambient conditions (drafts, temperature fluctuations and vibrations)
and also by the skill of the person performing the weighing. Therefore, the series of measurements must be
carried out by the same operator, in the same location, under constant ambient conditions and without
interruption.
The following test types are available:
• Repeatability - 1test point: To test repeatability of the balance without tare weight.
Methods 57Precision Balances
• Repeatability - Tare - 1test point: To test repeatability of the balance with tare weight. The first test

weight (tare weight) is used to simulate a tare container.
6.2.3 Eccentricity test
The purpose of the eccentricity test is to ensure that every eccentric load deviation (corner-load deviation) is
within the necessary user SOP tolerances. The corner-load is the deviation of the measurement value
through off-center (eccentric) loading. The corner-load increases with the weight of the load and its distance
from the center of the pan support. If the display remains consistent, even when the same load is placed on
different parts of the weighing pan, the balance does not have corner-load deviation.
6.2.4 Creating a test
Before a test can be performed, the test has to be created and the test settings have to be defined. A test

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.

8 Maintenance
8.1 Cleaning
We recommend periodically cleaning the draft shield, the weighing platform, and the terminal. For cleaning
the weighing chamber use the brush supplied with it. The maintenance interval depends on your standard
operating procedure (SOP). The balance is made of high-quality, resistant materials and can therefore be
cleaned with a commercially available, mild cleaning agent.
WARNING
Danger of death or serious injury due to electric shock!
Contact with parts that contain a live current can lead to injury and death. If the device
cannot be shut down in an emergency situation, people can be injured or the device can
be damaged.
1 Disconnect the device from the power supply prior to cleaning and maintenance.
2 Only use METTLER TOLEDO power cables, if these need to be replaced.
3 Make sure that no liquid enters the device or AC/DC adapter.
4 Do not open the device or AC/DC adapter. These do not contain any user-serviceable
parts.
NOTICE
Damage of the balance due to the use of inappropriate cleaning agents!
− On no account use cleaning agents which contain solvents or abrasive ingredients, as
this can result in damage to the terminal overlay.
Note
Please contact your METTLER TOLEDO dealer for details of the available service options. Regular servicing
by an authorized service engineer ensures constant accuracy for years to come and prolongs the life of your
balance.
8.2 Disposal
In conformance with the European Directive 2012/19/EU on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) this device may not be disposed of in domestic waste. This
also applies to countries outside the EU, per their specific requirements.
Please dispose of this product in accordance with local regulations at the collecting point
specified for electrical and electronic equipment. If you have any questions, please contact
the responsible authority or the distributor from which you purchased this device. Should
this device be passed on to other parties (for private or professional use), the content of
this regulation must also be related.
