IP Protection Rating

IP Rating: – All models are rated to IP44 (IP65 as an accessory).

– “IP65" models are rated to IP65. – The IP65/IP69K protection rating is ensured only if the rubber gasket is installed

and all connections are fastened securely (including the caps on unused sockets). Weighing platforms must be installed and tested by a certiﬁed technician.

– If you install an interface port or battery connection after setting up your

indicator, keep the protective cap in a safe place for future use. The cap protects the interface connector from vapors, moisture and dust or dirt.

Use in Legal Metrology

– When the indicator is connected to a weighing platform and this equipment is

to be veriﬁed, ensure that the applicable regulations regarding veriﬁcation are observed.

– When connecting Sartorius weighing platforms, observe the permitted weighing

range as listed in the “Guide to Veriﬁcation of Weighing Instruments" and the Declaration of Conformity.

– A sticker with the “Sartorius" logo was afﬁxed to the indicator as a control seal

following veriﬁcation. This seal will be irreparably damaged if you attempt to remove it. This will nullify the veriﬁcation's validity. In this case, re-veriﬁcation would be required in compliance with all relevant national regulations and laws.

Conﬁguring Weighing Platforms

Analog/Digital Converter (ADC)

Purpose Adjust the parameters of the analog/digital converter to the connected load cell or

weighing platform. After ADC conﬁguration, the ADC in connection with the load sensor is deﬁned as a scale.

Once the ADC conﬁguration has been locked, the indicator can no longer be used

3

to inﬂuence weighing results. The scope of functions available in the weighing instrument is deﬁned by the A/D converter. Weighing functions that can be activated include reading weight values, taring, adjustment, reading the tare value, saving/ deleting the tare entry

Setup information – ADC conﬁguration is only possible when the menu access switch is open.

Close the menu access switch after ADC conﬁguration, as otherwise there will not be any display of the conditions “overload” (“H”) and “underload” (“L”).

– Before ADC conﬁguration, you must ﬁrst set whether or not the weighing

platform will be used as a standard or veriﬁable weighing platform under menu item 9.1.

– When the Service mode is activated, ADC conﬁguration can be carried out in the

Setup menu under “WP-1" for the ﬁrst weighing platform and COm1 / WP-2, UNICOM / WP-2 or COm-WP for the second weighing platform.

If you return to the highest level of the Setup menu without saving the conﬁgura-

3

tion parameters beforehand (menu item 11.10) any settings that have been made will be deleted.

– The settings are made in the corresponding Setup menu under menu item 11. – Enter the maximum capacities in a suitable weight unit, without any decimal

places (decimal places will be truncated by the rounding function).

– Entries made in the ADC conﬁguration will not be affected by a menu reset

Conﬁguring Weighing Platforms

Setting parameters for ADC configuration

Standard or verifiable configuration In ADC conﬁguration, you must ﬁrst select whether the weighing platform should be

conﬁgured as a standard or veriﬁable (for use in legal metrology) weighing platform. – Standard conﬁguration STANDRD (9.1.3) – Veriﬁable conﬁguration VERIF. (9.1.4).

Accuracy class CLASS Menu item 11.1 (only displayed in veriﬁable conﬁguration)

Only menu item 11.1.4 (accuracy class l/m) can be selected here. If the menu item is not already marked as being active with a circle (o), the ) key must be pressed once to activate it.

Configuration unit 1.WT.UNIT Menu item 1.7

The weight unit used in the ADC conﬁguration must have previously been selected here.

Range selection RANGE Menu item 11.3

Depending on the setting under this menu item, the Menu items 11.5, 11.6 and 11.7 will either be displayed or will not be displayed for further conﬁgurations. – Single range mode (11.3.1)

The entire weighing capacity is divided into decimal numbers dependent on the smallest scale interval d and the maximum weight. The readability corresponds to the scale interval d.

– Multiple-range scale (11.3.2)

A multiple-range scale has two or three weighing ranges. When the range limit for the lower weighing range is exceeded, the scale switches into the next highest weighing range (lower resolution). The scale only switches back to the lower weighing range (higher resolution) when the weighing platform has been completely unloaded after pressing the ) key.

– Multi-interval scale (11.3.3) – The function “Multi-interval scale” divides the weighing capacity into a

maximum of three ranges with differing readability. The corresponding change takes place automatically at the deﬁned range limits. Once the scale has been tared, the highest possible resolution is available even if the weighing platform is loaded.

Scale interval d The scale interval d indicates the resolution of the weighing instrument. The scale

interval can only be entered in increments of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, etc. When “Veriﬁable conﬁguration” is used, this menu item is not displayed. When using veriﬁable or veriﬁed weighing platforms (classes l and m), the scale interval d is the same as the veriﬁcation scale interval e.

Verification scale interval e The veriﬁcation scale interval e indicates the resolution of the weighing instrument

in legal metrology. The scale interval can only be entered in increments of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, etc. When “Standard conﬁguration” is used, this menu item is not displayed.

Maximum load (max. load) The maximum load is the maximum amount of weight that may be placed on the

weighing platform. When heavier weights are used the weighing instrument displays overload “H”. The scale intervals of the weighing instrument are calculated using the maximum load and the scale interval d (e.g. max. capacity = 15.000 kg, smallest scale interval d = 0.005 kg yields 3000 scale intervals). In legal metrology the total number of intervals must be no more than 3000 e, and when using multi-interval scales there must not be more than 3000 e intervals per range. In standard operation, as opposed to legal metrology, you can deﬁne a “Super Range” weighing instrument of over 3000 intervals. These parameters, however, may be inﬂuenced by physical restrictions.

Operating Instructions Combics Indicators 21

Conﬁguring Weighing Platforms

Minimum load (min. load) When “Standard conﬁguration” is used, this menu item is not displayed.

The minimum load of the connected weighing platform is entered under this menu item. The minimum load for scales of class l is 20 e and 10 e for class m. Attention: The function of the minimum load setting is to warn operators that below this limit, the summation of tolerances might lead to signiﬁcant measurement errors. In Germany, for example, initial weights below the minimum load are not allowed.

Range 1, Range 2, Range 3 The range limits are entered for the individual ranges. The accuracy changes

when these limits are exceeded. The following applies when entering limits: Range 1 < Range 2 < Range 3 < max. load This means that the weighing range can be divided into a maximum of 4 ranges. The resolution changes at intervals of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 etc., where the lowest resolution is the smallest scale interval entered. Set ranges that are not required for use to zero.

Available weight units WT.UNIT Menu item 11.7

This menu item is used to select the weighing units that have been cleared for use in weighing. All units marked with a circle (o) have been cleared for use, multiple selection is possible.

Calibration / Adjustment unit Cal.Unit Menu item 11.8

This menu item is used to select the weighing unit that must be used for a calibration/adjustment. The selected unit is then valid as a calibration/ adjustment unit even when a different unit is used during normal weighing operation.

Entering Geographical Data for Use in Legal Metrology

Purpose Entering geographical data allows the external adjustment of weighing equipment

at a place (e.g. at the manufacturer or vendor's place of business) that is not the same as the place of installation. If the weighing equipment is adjusted at the place of installation, it is not necessary to enter geographical data.

The sensitivity of weighing equipment changes depending on the place of installation as it is dependent on the on-site gravitational force – or, more precisely, on gravitational acceleration. Saving geographical data makes it possible to change the place of installation of the weighing equipment after external adjustment has been carried out.

The adjustment of weighing equipment is valid at the place of installation and within a speciﬁc tolerance zone. At 3000 e this zone extends ±100 km from the set geographical latitude and ±200 m from the set elevation above sea level.

Installation Location in Germany An exception to this is the setting for “Germany (Zone D):” If during external

adjustment of weighing equipment within Germany the geographical data – Geographical latitude: 51.00 degrees N – 513 m elevation above sea level are entered, the weighing equipment can be used throughout Germany. Gravitational acceleration for “Germany (Zone D)” is 9.810 m/s geographical data for “Germany (Zone D)” are entered in the output device. It is recommended to use the geographical data settings for “Germany (Zone D)” when adjusting and delivering the weighing equipment within Germany. Entering exact geographical data will lead to a higher level of accuracy but will also restrict the tolerance zone.

Setup information – It is only possible to enter geographical data when the menu access switch is

open.

– When the Service mode is activated, you can enter geographical data in the

Setup menu under “WP-1" for the ﬁrst weighing platform and COm1 / WP-2, UNICOM / WP-2 or COm-WP for the second weighing platform. The settings are

made in the corresponding Setup menu under menu item 1.20.

– You can enter either the “geographical latitude in degrees" (LATITUD menu

item 1.20.1) and “elevation in m above sea level" (ALTITUD menu item 1.20.2), or the value for gravitational acceleration (GRAVITY menu item 1.20.3).

Gravitational acceleration takes precedence over the geographical latitude and

elevation of the location: If it has been entered, input ﬁelds for latitude and elevation show the values 99999.99 and 9999999 respectively. If only elevation and latitude have been entered, 0000000 is displayed for gravitational acceleration.

Weighing

This application is always available during operation.

Features: – Zeroing by pressing (

– Storing the weight on the platform as a tare by pressing ) – Tare container weight automatically – Use a barcode scanner to enter tare weight (Combics 2) – Use a 10-key keypad to enter tare weight (Combics 2) – Delete tare values using the numeric entry 0 and ) / c and )

(Combics 2)

– Toggle the display using k between: – Combics 1: Gross and net values – 1st and 2nd weight unit or – Combics 1: Normal and 10-fold higher resolution – Weighing with two weighing platforms (for Combics 2 only) – Individual numeric ID codes for weight values (Combics 2) – Print weight value: – GMP-compliant printout – Automatic printout – Automatic data output (see Data Interfaces chapter)

Automatic taring (APPLIC. menu item 3.7): When the menu item is active (3.7.2), the ﬁrst weight on the scale that exceeds the preset minimum load is stored in the tare memory at stability. The scale returns to the initial state when the load on the scale is less than 50% of the minimum load.

Minimum load for automatic taring and automatic printing (menu item 3.5): You can set the following for the minimum load: 1 digit (no minimum load) 2 digits 5 digits 10 digits 20 digits 50 digits 100 digits 200 digits 500 digits 1000 digits

The “digits" here refer to the scale intervals for the connected weighing platform. If the interval is 1 g and 1000 digits are required, the minimum load is 1000 g (1000 intervals).

If the weighing platform interval is 5 g and the same number of digits as above are required, the minimum load is 5000 g.

40 Operating Instructions Combics Indicators

When the load exceeds the minimum load limit, the weighing platform is tared automatically and/or a report printout is generated automatically; however, this requires the corresponding menu items are active for automatic taring (menu item

3.7.2) and for automatic printing (menu 7.15.2).

Operation

Automatic printing (PROTOC menu item 7.15): When the menu item (7.15.2) is active, the ﬁrst weight value that exceeds the minimum load is printed. If the menu item is also activated for automatic taring, it is only tared when the minimum load is exceeded. In this case, an automatic printout would only be generated when the second weight value exceeds the minimum load.

SQmin Function

Purpose To display the allowable minimum sample quantity “SQmin” (sample quantity

minimum) in accordance with the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP). According to USP guidelines, the uncertainty of measurement may not exceed 0.1% of the sample quantity when substances are weighed with the highest degree of accuracy for volume determination. This additional function ensures that weighing results lie within deﬁned tolerance limits corresponding to the requirements of your quality assurance system.

System 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. He 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. These SQmin settings cannot be changed by the user.

Features – Displaying the minimum sample quality: The value is displayed in the text line

for 4 seconds after pressing the k key.

– If the minimum sample quantity has not been reached: The k symbol is

displayed and weight values are marked with a “!" in the printout.

– GLP header: The minimum sample quantity entered for SQmin can be included

Minimum load for initialization You can set the minimum load here, i.e. the load that must be placed on the

weighing platform in order to carry out the application. If the load on the platform

is too light, the following will occur:

– Error code Inf 29 appears,

– The weighing platform is not initialized,

– The preset reference sample quantity is saved.

Setting: Applic./Applic.1/Count./Min.init menu item 3.6.

The minimum load can be set in 10 steps from 1 to 1000 digits (see available

parameters). The “digits" here refer to the scale intervals for 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 = 1000 digits) on the

weighing platform for initialization.

Resolution The resolution indicates the accuracy used to determine the reference weight.

The default setting is “display resolution." The resolution is increased when “10-

fold" or “100-fold" is selected. “10-fold" increases the resolution of the net value

by one step (display resolution x 10), “100-fold" increases it two steps (display

resolution x 100).

Setting: Applic./Applic.1/Count./RESOLUT menu item 3.9. Parameter for saving weight values The weight on the platform is saved as a reference value as soon as the platform has

stabilized. “Stability" is deﬁ ned as the point at which the ﬂ uctuation of a measured

value lies within a deﬁ ned tolerance. The narrower the tolerance, the more stable the

platform is at “stability".

The “increased stability" setting has a lower tolerance so that the average piece

weight saves is more accurate and the results more reproducible; however, the

measurement time can take longer.

Setting: Applic./Applic.1/Count./SAVE WT. menu item 3.11. Reference sample updating You can deﬁ ne whether or not the reference sample weight is updated automatically

during weighing using this setting. The reference sample weight is updated

automatically only when the following criteria are met:

1. “Automatic" must be set for reference sample updating in the menu.

2. The current piece count exceeds the original piece count by at least two.

3. The current piece count cannot be more than double the size of the original piece count. This limitation does not apply to the ﬁ rst update if the piece weight was entered via a barcode scanner or keypad.

4. The current piece count is less than 1000.

5. The internally calculated piece count (such as 17.24 pcs) differs by less than ± 0.3 pcs from the nearest whole number (in this example: 17).

6. The weighing platform is stable in accordance with the parameter deﬁ ned for saving weights.

If automatic reference sample updating is selected in the menu and the piece count (pcs) is displayed, the Auto symbol is displayed below the bar graph. If the average piece weight has been updated since you began weighing, the text line shows the 0pt symbol. During an updating operation, 0pt and the updated piece count are displayed brieﬂ y in the measured value line. The new reference sample weight and reference sample quantity are saved. Setting: Applic./Applic.1/Count./REF.UPDT menu item 3.12.

Counting with Two Weighing Platforms You can use two weighing platforms simultaneously with the Counting application.

When using two platforms, you can choose from the following operating modes: – Counting with two platforms of the same type – Counting with one reference platform and one weighing platform

Counting with two platforms of the same type

Use this mode to count different types of sample material with different weights. For example, count the lighter-weight pieces on one platform and the heavier pieces on another. You can deﬁ ne one of the two scales as the reference scale. The reference scale is the ﬁ rst scale active when you switch on the device, regardless of the setting for automatic initialization of the Counting application.

56 Operating Instructions Combics Indicators

Counting with one reference platform and one weighing platform

In this operating mode, the reference platform is a high-resolution weighing platform with a relatively low maximum capacity. The other platform is used for weighing heavier samples, and has a high capacity with a relatively low resolution. This allows you to both determine the reference sample weight with high resolution; i.e., very precisely, and to count large amounts of parts, without requiring an expensive high-resolution, high-capacity weighing platform.

Operation

The system can be conﬁ gured to switch automatically to the reference platform for initialization (the measured value line shows Ref). Following initialization, you can switch to the counting platform. Setting: Applic./Applic.1/Count./REF.WP menu item 3.13.

You can deﬁne one of the two scales as the reference scale. The reference scale is the ﬁrst scale active when you switch on the device, regardless of the setting for automatic initialization of the Neutral Measurement application.

Weighing in percent with one reference platform and one weighing platform

In this operating mode, the reference platform is a high-resolution weighing platform with a relatively low maximum capacity. The other platform is used for weighing heavier samples, and has a high capacity with a relatively low resolution. This allows you to both determine the reference piece weight with high resolution; i.e., very precisely, and to measure large samples, without requiring an expensive high-resolution, high-capacity weighing platform. The system can be conﬁgured to switch automatically to the reference platform for initialization (the measured value line shows Ref). Following initialization, you can switch to the counting platform.

Example: 100% of a sample material should be weighed.

Conﬁ guration: The “Weighing in Percent" application is selected, and printout has been set up.

t Place empty container on the scale.

) t Tare the scale.

This is not required if the automatic tare function is active. The tare weight is saved automatically when you place the container on the platform.

t Add reference material to the container in accordance with reference percentage

value (in this example, 85 g).

O t Start the calculation of the reference weight by pressing the O key.

y The calculation is based on the active net weight value and the reference

percentage value entered

If the weight is too light, an error code is shown in the main display Inf 29. If this is the case, set the minimum load to a smaller number of digits.

t Add additional material until the reference percentage value has been reached

Checkweighing H (Combics 2)

With this application, you can check whether the sample on the weighing platform matches a target value or lies within a given tolerance range. Checkweighing also makes it easy to ﬁll sample materials to a speciﬁed target weight. Selection and settings in the Applic. / Applic.2/ CHECK.WG menu.

Features – Enter the nominal or target weight (set point) and the tolerance range delimiters

either using the keypad or by saving the weight value of a load on the platform.

– Enter the tolerance limits as absolute values (Min and Max), as a percentage

deviation from the target or as a relative deviation from the target. Setting: Applic./Applic.2/CHECK.WG/CHECK.RG menu item 4.5.

– The target value can be taken over as a weighed value from a weighing

platform, and the upper and lower tolerance limits are deﬁned as a percentage deviation from the target value (setting 4.5.2). The following percentages can be selected as the deviation: 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 3%, 5% or 10%, selection using the r key.

– The target value, lower tolerance limit (minimum) and upper tolerance limit

(maximum) can applied as weighed values from the weighing platform (menu item 4.5.1).

– The target value can be applied as weighed values and via asymmetrical percent

limits (menu item 4.5.3).

– The target value can be applied as weighed values and via relative weight limits

(menu item 4.5.4).

– Target and tolerance limits checked during input; values must conform to:

upper limit > target > lower limit > 1 digit. – Checkweighing range: either 30% to 170% of the target, or from 10% to inﬁnity. – Results are shown on the main display, as a bar graph and LED as well as sent to

control output ports for further processing. – Toggle the main display between “weight value" and “relation to the target" by

pressing the w key. For the limit value, if the weight in the readout is outside

the tolerance range, “LL" (too low) or “HH" (too high) is displayed – Activate Info mode via the I key – Automatic results printout (Applic./Applic.2/CHECK.WG/CHECK.RG menu

Target Checkweighing entails comparing the current weight value to a deﬁned target. You

can enter the value for this target using the keypad, or by saving the weight value indicated. You can also deﬁne upper and lower tolerance limits based on this target. You can do this by: – Entering absolute values using the keypad or placing the desired amount of

weight on the platform and saving the value or – by entering each value as a percentage deviation of the target weight or – by entering each value as an asymmetrical percentage deviation of the target

weight that is selected via the keypad or using the r key or – by entering a relative weight deviation from the target weight via the keypad.

The value remains valid until deleted by pressing the c key or until overwritten by a new value. It remains saved after the scale is switched off.

Net Total Formulation R (Combics 2)

With this application, you can weigh in different components up to a deﬁ ned total. Each component is saved in the net-total memory (Applic.3 menu).

Features – Weigh in up to 999 components in series

– Net total formulation cannot be combined with level 1 and 2 applications

(Applic.1, Applic.2). – Current component number displayed in the number line (indicating the

component to be added) – Toggle the display from “component mode” to “additive mode” by pressing the

w key – Component mode: Display the weight of the component currently on the

platform (for 1 second after it is saved; then the platform is tared)

– Additive mode: Display the weight of all components on the platform (after

it is saved, the net weight of the last component added is displayed brieﬂ y)

– Toggle to a second weighing platform while weighing in – Activate Info mode via the I key – Automatic component printout when it is saved.

Setting: Applic./Applic.3/NET TOT menu item 3.17.

Printout If the 3.17.2 menu item is selected, the entire component record is printed.

If the 3.17.3 menu item is selected, the following items are generated only once for the ﬁ rst component if they have been conﬁ gured: Blank line, dash line, date, time, ID1 through ID6, header lines 1 and 2. For subsequent components, each “component” item (“Comp xx”) is followed by a blank line.

Operation

Minimum load The minimum amount that a component must weigh before it can be saved in net-

total memory. Setting: Applic./Applic.3/NET TOT menu item 3.6

Once the limit is exceeded by the load, the value can be saved. If the load on platform is too light, the following will occur when you try to save a value: – The error code Inf 29 is displayed – A warning signal is emitted (double-beep) – The weight value is not saved

The minimum load required for automatic taring of the container weight on the platform (ﬁrst weight) is conﬁgured under: Applic. / min.tare menu item 3.5

The minimum load can be set in 10 steps from 1 to 1000 digits (see available parameters). The “digits" here refer to the scale intervals for 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 = 1000 digits) on the weighing platform for autotaring (only with the “Autotare ﬁrst weight" option selected).

Net total formulation with This mode is used for weighing large and small components at the same time. two weighing platforms This makes it possible to toggle from the small-component platform to the large-

component platform during measurement. Once you toggle to the large-component platform, the ( and ) keys are available until a component is value is saved. For example, you can tare a partially-ﬁlled container taken from the smallcomponent platform on the large component platform.

The value in component memory on the small-component platform is transferred to the large-component platform and the weight unit is converted, if necessary. The Component and Additive display modes are both available on the largecomponent platform.

The value read by the active platform is saved in component memory. The displayed result is accurately calculated in the active weight unit.

When you press c to stop a measurement series the tare memories for both platforms are cleared, unless the large-component platform is an SBI instrument, in which case the platform is only tared.

Example: Three components of a formula should be weighed.
