7Set up
7.1 Unpacking the balance
The balances are delivered in an environmentally-friendly package, specifically developed for this precision
instrument, which provides optimum protection for the balance during transportation.
In order to avoid damage, attention must be given to the following points when unpacking the balance:
• Unpack the balance carefully. It is a precision instrument.
• When outside temperatures are very low, the balance should first be stored for some hours in the unopened transport package in a dry room at normal temperature, so that no condensation settles on the balance when unpacking.
• Check the balance immediately after unpacking for externally visible damage. If you should find transport
damage, please inform your Services representative immediately.
• If the balance is not to be used immediately after purchase but only at a later time, it should be stored in
a dry place where fluctuations in temperature are as low as possible (see chapter 7.3 "Storage").
• Read through these operating instructions, even if you already have experience with balances, before you
work with the balance and pay attention to the safety recommendations (see chapter 6 "Safety").
7.2 Transport and shipping
Your balance is a precision instrument. Treat it with care.
Avoid shaking, severe impacts and vibration during the transportation.
Take care that there are no signification temperature fluctuations during the transportation and that the bal-
ance does not become damp (condensation).
7.3 Storage
If you would like to take the balance out of service for an extended period, disconnect it from the electricity
supply, clean it thoroughly (see chapter 14.1 "Maintenance and servicing") and store it in a place which
meets the following conditions:
• No violent shaking, no vibrations
• No significant temperature fluctuations
• No direct solar radiation
•No moisture
NOTE
Retain the original packaging in order to avoid transportation damages when shipping or transporting the
balance and to allow the balance to be stored in the best conditions if it is out of operation for an extended
period.
NOTE
The balance should preferably be dispatched and transported in the original packaging to avoid transportation damage.
NOTE
The balance should preferably be stored in the original packaging, since this provides optimum protection
for the balance.

English
7.4 Choosing a suitable location
The balance location must be chosen in such a way as to guarantee perfect operation of your balance, so
that the allowable ambient conditions and prerequisites are met and maintained:
• Put the balance on a solid, firm and preferably vibration-proof, horizontal base
• Make sure that the balance cannot be shaken or knocked over
• Protect from direct solar radiation
• Avoid drafts and excessive temperature fluctuations
7.5 Connecting the balance to the mains
The following safety recommendations must be observed when connecting the balance to the mains:
7.6 Levelling
To function properly, the balance must be precisely horizontal.
The balance is fitted with one spirit level and two adjustable feet for level-control, with the aid of which it
is possible to compensate for small height differences and/or unevennesses in the surface on which the balance is standing.
The two screw feet must be adjusted so that the air bubble is precisely in the centre of the sight glass of the
bubble level.
7.7 Calibration of the balance
Since the Earth's gravity is not the same everywhere, each balance must – in accordance with the underlying
physical weighing principle – be adjusted to compensate for the gravity at each location. This adjustment
process, known as “calibration”, must be carried out on initial installation and after each subsequent relocation. In order to get exact measurements, it is recommended moreover, that the balance should also be calibrated periodically.
NOTE
With difficult conditions (where the balance may be easily shaken or subject to vibration) the balance can
nevertheless provide accurate results through suitable adjustment of the stability control (see chapter
8.3.6 "Weighing mode").
DANGER
The balance may only be operated with the power adaptor supplied.
Check before connecting the power adaptor to the mains supply that the operating voltage stated on the
on the balance or on the power adaptor agrees with the local mains voltage.
If the operating voltage is not the same as the mains voltage, the balance or the power adaptor must on
no account be connected to the mains supply. Contact the Customer Service.
Incorrect Correct
NOTE
In order to get exact measurements, the balance must again be carefully levelled after each relocation.
NOTE
Page 14
■ 7 Set up
12
Calibration is effected in the configuration menu. Depending on the balance model, this may be done externally, internally or automatically (see chapter 8.3.5 "Calibration functions" and see chapter 14.3 "Calibration").
With the aid of the “Intelligent Calibration Mode” the balance can itself determine the size of the calibration
weight, which enables an exact calibration with different size weights (in 10 g, 50 g, 100 g and 500 g steps,
depending on implementation).
7.8 Dual Range and Floating Range balances
With the Dual Range balances, weighing is always first carried out in the fine range, which is 10 times more
precise. When the fine range is exceeded the balance switches automatically into the coarse range.
The Floating Range balances have a fine range (10 times more precise), which moves over the entire weight
range. By pressing the tare key «T» the fine range can be called up as often as required over the entire weight
range.
7.9 Standardized balance
The standardized balances are provided with the EC/OIML certification or meet the local standardisation regulations.
The balance range and certain functions of the weighing output differ from the standard program in the case
of the standardized balances – in accordance with the EC/OIML provisions.
7.10 Switching on the balance
•Press «ON/OFF» to switch on the balance.
The balance carries out a diagnostic test in order to check the most important functions. After completion
of the start-up process (approximately ten seconds) “Zero” appears in the display.
The balance is ready for operation and is in the Weighing mode.
7.11 Auto-Standby Mode
The balance is equipped with an Auto-Standby mode, which can be activated or deactivated in the configuration menu.
If the Auto-Standby mode is activated, the balance automatically switches to Standby some time after the
last weighing or key operation (current-saving function).
The delay before switching to Standby is defined in the configuration menu (see chapter 8.3.6 "Weighing
mode").
• Press any button or put on a weight in order to switch the balance from the Standby mode back to the
Weighing mode again.
The balance must be calibrated on initial installation and after every relocation.
If you work in accordance with “Good Laboratory Practice GLP” observe the prescribed intervals between
calibrations (adjustments).
NOTE
If a circle appears in the main-display of a standardized balance, the indicated value is unstandardised.
In balances of class (1) the circle also stands for the warm-up phase.
Your Customer Service will be happy to assist you at any time if you have any questions on the stand-
ardization of the balance or on working with standardized balances.

8.3.5 Calibration functions
For calibration of the balance see chapter 7.7 "Calibration of the balance" and see chapter 14.3 "Calibration". The setting depends on the balance model.
8.3.6 Weighing mode
With the aid of the Weighing mode functions, you may define the quality of the balance location (see chapter
7.4 "Choosing a suitable location").
With the aid of the „AUTO-STANDBY“ function, you can define the period of non-use before the balance au-
tomatically switches into the energy-saving mode.
„FLOATINGDISPLAY“
The value set for „FLOATINGDISPLAY“ defines the period after which each new measurement is displayed.
For the definition of this period, the quality of the balance location is crucial. The stability control must also
set appropriately.
Recommended values:
– Optimum balance location: „FLOATINGDISPLAY 0.08“
– Good balance location: „FLOATINGDISPLAY 0.16“
– Critical balance location: „FLOATINGDISPLAY 0.32“

„STABILITY“
The value set for the stability control depends on the quality of the balance location and must be correctly
chosen in order to obtain optimum, reproducible results. Choose:
– Optimum balance location: „STABILITY LOW“
– Good balance location: „STABILITY MEDIUM“
– Critical balance location: „STABILITY HIGH“
„AUTO-STANDBY“
The Auto-Standby mode turns off the balance automatically, if:
• the balance is tared and has shown “Zero” for at least 5 minutes
• the balance has received no remote control command via the interface for at least 5 minutes,
• the automatic zero correction „AUTO-ZERO” is activated.
It is possible to re-start the balance after it has been switched off by an automatic Auto-Standby:
• Briefly press any key
• Put a weight on the balance
• Make a remote control command via the interface
„AUTO-ZERO“
If the automatic zero correction „AUTO-ZERO” is activated, the balance always gives a stable zero (e.g. even
with fluctuations in room temperature).

8.3.9 Anti-theft encoding
The balance can be protected against theft by using a freely selectable, four-digit numerical code:
• If the anti-theft code is deactivated, the instrument can be re-started and operated after a power outage
without having to enter a code.
• If the anti-theft code is activated, the instrument requires the code to be input after each power outage.
• If the code is entered incorrectly, the instrument is locked.
• If the instrument is locked, it must first be disconnected from the power supply, then reconnected and
unlocked by entering the correct code.
• After seven consecutive incorrect entries, the display reads „NO ACCESS, CALL SERVICE”. In this case
only a service engineer can unlock the instrument again.
Procedure to activate the anti-theft encoding:
The procedure for changing the code is as follows:
NOTE
The anti-theft encoding is deactivated in the factory settings.
The preprogrammed code set at the factory is: 8 9 3 7
This code is the same in all balances. Therefore, for security reasons, enter your own code.
Keep your own code in a safe place.

14 Service
14.1 Maintenance and servicing
The balance must be treated carefully and cleaned regularly. It is a precision instrument.
Regularly dismantle the weighing pan and the weighing pan holder and remove any dirt or dust from under
the weighing pan and on the balance housing with a soft brush or a soft, lint-free cloth, moistened with a
mild soap solution.
The weighing pan and the holder can be cleaned under running water. Take care that both parts are completely dry before they are re-installed on the balance.
The regular maintenance of the balance by your Service Representative will guarantee unlimited function and
reliability over many years and will extend the lifespan of the balance.
14.2 Error messages
The balance shows a description of the fault in the info-line.
14.2.1 Notes on correcting faults
The following table shows faults and their possible causes. If you cannot clear the fault using the table,
please contact the Customer Service..
DANGER
For maintenance work, the balance must be separated from the power supply (remove power adaptor
plug from socket). Also ensure that the balance cannot be reconnected to the power supply during the
work by a third party.
Take care during cleaning that no liquid penetrates into the appliance. If liquid is spilt on the balance, the
latter must immediately be disconnected from the electricity supply. The balance must only be used
again after it has first been checked by a Service Engineer.
The connections on the rear of the appliance and the power adaptor must not come into contact with liquids.
CAUTION
Never use solvents, acids, alkalis, paint thinners, scouring powders or other aggressive or corrosive
chemicals for cleaning, since these substances attack the surfaces of the balance housing and can cause
damage.
NOTE
If an error occurs without a description of the error in the info-line, the Customer Service must be called.

14.3 Calibration
The calibration of the balance is fixed in the Configuration menu (see chapter 7.7 "Calibration of the balance"
and see chapter 8.3.5 "Calibration functions").
Possible types of calibration, depending on the model of balance:
• External calibration by means of ICM (Intelligent Calibration Mode)
• External calibration with freely selectable weight
• Internal calibration
• Automatic calibration
14.3.1 External calibration by means of ICM
Depending on the type of balance, calibration weights in steps of 10 g, 50 g, 100 g and 500 g can be used,
where the calibration weight must correspond to the precision of the balance.
For an external calibration by means of ICM, „SET CALIBRATION MODE EXTERNAL“ must be selected in the
Configuration menu (see chapter 8.3.5 "Calibration functions")
.
The weight

• The balance was not correctly tared
• The balance is not correctly levelled
• The calibration is no longer correct
• There are strong temperature variations

14.3.2 External calibration with freely selectable weight
For external calibration with user-definable weight, „SET CALIBRATION MODE EXT. -DEF.“ must be selected
in the Configuration menu (see chapter 8.3.5 "Calibration functions").
Then, the effective value of the calibration weight (DEF. n.nnn g) must be entered with up to tenfold precision compared with the balance.
Then proceed as follows:
14.3.3 Internal calibration
For internal calibration with the built-in calibration weight „SET CALIBRATION MODE INTERNAL“ must be
selected in the Configuration menu (see chapter 8.3.5 "Calibration functions").
Then proceed as follows:
• Switch to „WEIGHING“ with the Change key
•Press «T» until „CALIBRATION“ is shown.
• Calibration is finished after a certain period of time
14.3.4 Automatic calibration
For automatic calibration with the built-in calibration weight „SET CALIBRATION MODE AUTO“ must be selected in the Configuration menu (see chapter 8.3.5 "Calibration functions").
The balance now calibrates itself automatically every 24 hours and/or after each temperature change of 3
degrees Celsius, depending on the definition in the Configuration menu „SET CALIBRATION MODE AUTO“.
The time of the automatic calibration is as determined in the Configuration menu under „SET CALIBRATION

14.4 Automatic Repeatability Test (ART)
During the Automatic Repeatability Test, the internal weight is measured 10 times, and the standard deviation is calculated from this and logged.
14.5 Software update
Our balances are instruments which are being continuously advanced and improved. For this reason, it is
possible to update to the latest version of the instrument software via the internet.
In order to update your software, you need to download the Download Tool from the website and install it
onto a PC (Windows 95 or higher) with a serial interface.
The software for the balance can also be downloaded from the Downloads area on the website. This can
then be loaded into the instrument with the aid of the download tool.
System requirements
• PC Windows 95 or higher
Serial data cable, depending on the PC's serial interface (see Accessories).
Installation of the download tool
• Download the Download Tool from the Downloads area on the website and install it onto your PC.
• Once the program has been successfully installed, you can start updating the balance software.
Balance software download
• Download the software for the balance from the website under Downloads and save it on your own PC.
• Connect the balance to the PC via the data cable and switch it on.
• Start the installed Download Tool.
• Open „downloaded balance software“ under the menu option „File“.
NOTE
For automatic calibration by time and by time/temp. the date and time of the balance must first be correctly set (see chapter 8.3.8 "Date and time").
Calibration can also be effected manually at any time when auto-calibration is activated.
Automatic calibration then takes place only if no weight has been placed on the pan for at least five min-
utes.
It is recommended that the time for auto-calibration be set outside the normal business hours (for exam-
ple, in the early morning).
