1 Introduction
Thank you for choosing a METTLER TOLEDO balance.
The balances of the XSR line combine a large number of weighing and adjustment possibilities with excep-
tionally convenient operation.
The XSR 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 XSR line:
• Fully automatic adjustment using internal weights.
• Built-in level sensor and leveling aid for fast and easy leveling.
• 4.3 inch capacitive color TFT touchscreen.
• Different methods that can be defined individually.
• Different routine tests that can be defined individually.
Software version
These operating instructions refer to the originally installed firmware (software) version V 2.01.

5.3 Selecting the location
A balance is a sensitive precision instrument. The location where it is placed will have a profound effect on
the accuracy of the weighing results.
• Choose a solid table that is as horizontal as possible.
Choose the table according to the maximum capacity of the
balance.
The balance must only be used indoors and up to a
maximum altitude of 4,000m above sea level.
• Before switching on the balance, wait until all parts are at
room temperature (+10 °C to +30°C).
The humidity must be between 10% and 80% noncondensing.
• The power plug must be accessible.
• Vibration-free location
• No direct sunlight
• No excessive temperature fluctuations
• No strong drafts
5.4 Assembling the balance
5.4.1 Models with S weighing platform
5.4.1.1 Attaching the terminal to the weighing platform
The terminal is usually placed in front of the weighing platform on the terminal support. The terminal can
also be placed individually, e.g. beside the weighing platform or it can be fixed on an additional terminal
stand.
NOTICE
Damage to the balance
The weighing platform and the terminal are not safely fixed by the terminal support and
may fall off when carrying.
− Remove the terminal from the weighing platform and place it on the weighing pan
when carrying the balance.

Connect the balance to the mains as follows:
1 Check whether your local power supply falls within the range of the delivered AC/DC adapter. If this is
not the case, under no circumstances connect the AC/DC adapter to the power supply, but contact a
METTLER TOLEDO representative.
2 Connect the AC/DC adapter (2) to the AC/DC socket
(1).
3 Use the power cable to connect the AC/DC adapter
to the mains.
