Connecting the Device to AC Power

! Before startup, make sure that the power cable is properly connected to the power supply�

Inparticular, the protective conductor must be connected to the housing of the adapter�

Connect all devices via their equipotential bonding conductor terminals to the equipotential

bonding conductor� Installation must be carried out properly by trained personnel and according to commonly accepted technical standards�

! The system should only be operated for the first time when it is certain that the area is not

potentially explosive� If deviations are evident during startup due to transport damage, the system should be disconnected from the power supply and Service should be contacted (nodisplay, no backlighting despite weight value display, no reproducibility of the weight value, no stability in the display, etc�)

! YPS02-X�� Pressure-enclosed Adapter:

– Both cables should be laid fixed – Flexible cabling with screws available upon request

! Check the supply voltage/frequency and plug design�

– If they do not match: Contact your supplier

! Use only an original AC adapter:

– YPS02-Z�� or YPSC01-Z (for use outside of explosion-risk areas only) – YPS02-X�� or YPSC01-X (for use inside explosion-risk areas)

! When operating a scale in an explosive area:

– Follow all current standards and regulations for the installation of devices in the explosive

area�

– Device installation in Zone 1 should be carried out by trained personnel and checked

properly�

! Connect devices to a central equipotential bonding conductor before operation:

Warm-up Time

To deliver precise results, the scale must warm up for at least 30 minutes after initial

connection to the power supply� Only after this time will the scale have reached the required operating temperature�

Using a verified scale in legal metrology:

$ Make sure to allow the analyzer to warm up for at least 24 hours after initial connection to the

power supply�

Leveling the Weighing Platform

Purpose: – To compensate for unevenness at the place of installation – To ensure that the equipment is placed in a perfectly horizontal position for consistently

reproducible weighing results

Always level the weighing platform again any time after it has been moved to a different

location�

§ Level the weighing platform using the four leveling feet� Turn the feet until the air bubble is

centered in the level indicator�

§ Check to ensure that all leveling feet rest securely on the work surface�

> Each of the leveling feet must support an equal load�

Signum at the press of a key or automatically� Printout formats are user-denable� You can also congure separate summarized printouts, and print a list of the active menu settings� See section “Conguring Printouts”�

3� You can have printouts output

Digital Input/Output Interface + Optional I/O

The digital input/output interface is supported by the “Checkweighing" and “Classification" application programs�

Checkweighing The output device has a number of control functions� Four data outputs transfer signals for “less than,” “equal to,” “greater” and “set�” You can define whether the outputs are always active or are activated only at stability, only within the checkweighing range, only within the checkweighing range at stability, orswitched off�

Saving Data

Signum® 3 saves all application parameters (e�g� reference values) when the device is turned o or you switch between application programs� You can assign a password to prevent unauthorized users from changing settings in the “Device parameters” menu under:

setup u-code

see “Conguration”

Classification Four data outputs transfer information on the class of the load (Class 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5) and indicate when the minimum load is exceeded (Set)� You can define whether the outputs are always active, activated only at stability, or off� See “Application: Classification” in the enclosed “Basic Application Programs” manual for details�

Communication Interface

You can define a number of parameters for this SBI interface (print command, time-dependent autoprint, ID codes)� Seesection “Data Interface”�

Calibration and Adjustment

Purpose Perform calibration to determine the

difference between the weight value displayed and the actual weight on the platform� Calibration does not entail making any changes within the weighing equipment�

During adjustment, the difference

between the measured value displayed and the true weight of a sample is corrected, or is reduced to an allowable level within maximum permissible error limits�

Configuration for Use in Legal

Metrology

Configuration of the weighing

instrument for use in legal metrology isset by a switch� The switch is located on the back of the weighing platform and covered by a protective cap�

Using a Verified Scale in Legal Metrology in the EU: The Type-Approval Certicate for veried scales is only valid for nonautomatic weighing instruments� For automatic operation with or without additional, integrated equipment, please follow the applicable national regulations for the installation location�

SQmin Function

Purpose To display the allowable minimum sam-

Requirements The scale must be set up by a service

technician to be able to use the SQmin function� The technician will determine the permitted minimum sample quantity and load this to your scale using the guidelines of your QA system� These settings cannot be changed by the user� He or she will document this setting via a “Weighing module test as per USP” certificate in which the measurements and min� sample quantity are logged� The SQmin function ensures that the weighing results correspond to USP guidelines�

Before the quantity on the platform can be calculated, the average piece weight (reference sample weight) must be entered in the application� There are three ways to enter this value in the program:

– Calculation: – Place the number of parts dened as

the reference sample quantity on the weighing platform and calculate the average piece weight by pressing the O key

– Alternatively, using the r key, you

can place any number of parts on the weighing platform, enter the number of parts using the keypad, and then calculate the average piece weight by pressing the

O key

How the reference weight is calculated

depends on the application setting for resolution� The value is either rounded o in accordance with the display resolution, or saved with 10-fold or 100-fold resolution, or with the maximum internal resolution of the weighing platform�

– Entering a reference sample weight

(i�e�, the weight of one piece) using the keypad and saving it with the

To determine the weight of a sample

relative to a reference weight, you need to dene the reference percentage value� There are three ways to enter this value in the application program:

– Calculation: – Place the reference quantity (dened

by the reference percentage) on the connected weighing platform and press the

O key to initialize the application�

– Place any amount of the sample

material on the connected weighing platform, enter the reference percentage through the keypad, and press the rkey to initialize the application�

How the reference weight is calculated

depends on the application setting that denes “Accuracy for saving weights”� The value is either rounded o in accordance with the display resolution, or saved with 10-fold or 100-fold resolution, or with the maximum internal resolution of the weighing platform�

– By entering the reference weight for

100% using the keypad and pressing the O key to initialize the application�

The initialization data remains valid

Weighing in Percent Application L

Parameter for Saving Weight Values The reference weight is saved when the

scale has stabilized� “Stability” is defined as the point at which the fluctuation of a measured value lies within a defined tolerance range� The narrower the tolerance range, the more stable the platform is at “stability”�

In Setup menu:

Appl1:

Perc.wg: 3.11.

You can dene whether the value is

saved when “standard stability” is reached, or only at “increased stability” (narrower tolerance range)� If you select “increased stability”, the reference weight saved will be more accurate and the results more reproducible, but the response time of the weighing platform might be longer�

Accuracy of Average Piece Weight

Calculation

The resolution applied for calculating

the reference weight is dened in Setup under:

Appl1

:

Perc.wg: 3.9.

The resolution for calculating the

reference weight is increased if “+1 decimal place,” “+2 decimal places” or “Internal resolution” is selected� With the “+1 decimal place” setting, the net value is determined to one additional decimal place (i�e�, display accuracy x 10); “+2 decimal places” increases display accuracy x 100, and so on up tothe maximum resolution available�

Display of Results With the Weighing in Percent

The “digits” here refer to the scale

intervals in the connected weighing platform� If the interval of the connected platform is 1 g, for example, and 1000 digits are required, you must place at least 1000 g (= 1000 intervals) on the weighing platform for initialization�

need to enter the delimiters that separate one class from another�

Limits between the individual weigh

classes are required for the classication� The lower limit of Class 1 is dened by the preset minimum load� The other classes are congured by dening their upper limits� There are two ways to enter the delimiters for classes 1 through 3 (or5):

– By saving the weight value indicated: Each upper limit value, with the

exception of the highest class, is entered using the keypad or by saving the weight

value of a load on the weighing platform� – By entering a percentage: The upper value of Class 1 is entered

using the keypad or by saving the

value indicated� Upper limits for the

other classes are dened by entering a

percentage of deviation from the upper

limit of Class 1, using the keypad� Example: Enter 100 g as the upper limit

of Class 1� Then enter 15%� When working with 3 classes, this yields

the following weight classes: Class 0: up to the minimum load Class 1: >minimum load - 100 g Class 2: >100 g – 115 g Class 3: >115 g - maximum load When working with 5 classes, this yields

the following weight classes: Class 0: up to the minimum load Class 1: >minimum load - 100 g Class 2: >100 g – 115 g Class 3: >115 g – 130 g Class 4: >130 g – 145 g Class 5: >145 g - maximum load

The Signum has a totalizing memory

for totalizing individual net and gross values� Weight values can be saved to the totalizing memory either manually or automatically� In Setup under:

Appl 3:

totaliz: 3.16.

– Save value manually by pressing the

O key�

The value taken from the active

platform is added to the value already saved in totalization memory and the transaction counter value is increased by one�

When a value is added manually, the

program does not check whether the platform has been unloaded since the last time the O key was pressed�

– Value saved automatically when the

weighing platform is stable and the dened minimum load is exceeded�

If the dened minimum load is not

exceeded, you can save the item manually by pressing the O key�

Regardless of these settings, the current

value cannot be saved automatically unless the platform is unloaded before the next sample is placed on it� The weighing platform is considered to be unloaded when the load is less than 50% of the minimum load�

The number of items added to memory

is displayed in the text line�

Press the

c key to clear the totalizing

memory� A printout is automatically generated�

With 2 weighing platforms connected,

you can add values from both platforms to the totalizing memory� The displayed result is accurately calculated in the active weight unit�

Example: When you add 1243 g

(determined on a weighing platform with three decimal places) to 1400 g (determined on a platform with 1decimal place), the display shows 2643 g�

Conguring the Data Interface

as a COM Port ( datprot,

when com1 is not RS485 )

You can congure the interface as a

COM port in either COM1 or UniCOM, “Data Protocol” (datprot) menu item�

SBI communication This is a simple ASCII interface� Data output is congured under menu

items 6�1 and 6�3:

– Manual output of displayed value with

or without stability (menu items 6�1�1 and 6�1�2)

– Automatic output of displayed value

with or without stability (menu items 6�1�4 and 6�1�5) at intervals dened by display updates� The number of display intervals is set in menu item 6�3�

– Output of a congurable printout�

Output is linked to the “Printouts” menu item prtprot), (see page 81 “Conguring Printouts”)

If you do not activate and congure a

user-denable data record, the printout simply contains the current value displayed on the display and control unit (weight with unit, calculated value, alphanumeric display)�

Data Input Format (Commands)

You can connect a computer to your scale to send commands controlling weighing instrument functions and applications via the interface port� All commands use the same data input format� They start with the ESC character (ASCII 27) and end with a carriage return (CR; ASCII 13) and a line feed (LF; ASCII

10)� The total length of a command is anywhere from 4 characters (1 command character between the start and end described above) to a max� of 7 characters (4 command characters)�

The commands listed in the following table must each be supplemented with ESC �� CR LF� Example: The command character for output is “P” (“output to Port”)� To trigger this command, send the string: “ESC P CR LF”�

supply and unplug any data cables connected to the scale�

§ Clean the scale with a cloth lightly

moistened with soap solution�

§ Wipe down the scale with a soft,

moistcloth after cleaning�

! Make sure that no liquid enters the

scale�

! Do not use aggressive cleaning agents

(solvents or similar)�

Cleaning the Stainless Steel Surfaces All stainless steel parts should be

cleaned at regular intervals� Remove the stainless steel load plate and thoroughly clean it separately� Use a damp cloth or sponge to clean stainless steel parts on the scale� You can use any commercially available household cleaning agent that is suitable for use on stainless steel� Stainless steel should be cleaned simply by rubbing� Then clean the load plate thoroughly, making sure to remove all residues� Use a damp cloth or sponge to clean stainless steel parts on the scale� After this, let the device dry� For additional protection, protective oil may be applied�
