6 BR_NEG Bridge supply voltage (–)

!Refer to the data sheet or operating instructions of the weighing platform for details on

the assignment of wire colors/signals. Ensure any lines that are not assigned are insulated
correctly.

!When connecting a load receptor that uses 4-conductor technology (the cable of the

weighing platform to be connected only has 4 lines), connect clamp pairs 1 and 2
(BR_ and SENSE_POS), and 5 and 6 (SENSE_NEG and BR_NEG) with a wire jumper.

§ Close the Midrics indicator:

Re-attach the front panel and secure it with the 4 cap nuts

Establishing a Connection to the Power Supply

§ Check the voltage rating and plug design.

$ Power is supplied via the installed power cord that is supplied. The power supply is inte-

grated into the indicator. The device can be operated with a voltage of 100 V to 240 V.
The printed voltage rating (see type label) must match the voltage in the place of instal­lation. If the stated supply voltage or the plug design of the power cord does not comply
with the standard you use, please inform your nearest Sartorius representative or your
dealer.
The power connection must be made in accordance with the regulations applicable in
your country.

Connecting the device, rated to Class 1, to power supply (mains supply):
The device must be plugged into a properly installed wall outlet which has a protective
grounding conductor (PE). The power plug or a different, suitable disconnecting device
for the power must be easily accessible.

Safety Measures

If you use an electrical outlet that does not have a protective grounding conductor,
ensure that an equivalent protective conductor is installed by a certified electrician
(as specified in the applicable regulations for installation in your country). The protective
effect must not be negated by using an extension cord without a protective grounding
conductor.

Warm-up Time

To return precise results, the device must warm up for at least 30 minutes after initial
connection to the power supply. Only after this time will the device have reached the
required operating temperature.

Using a verified device in legal metrology:

$ Ensure that there is a warm-up time of at least 6 hours after initial connection to the

power supply.

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 is
defined as a scale in connection with
the load sensor.

Set-up 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”).

– When the service mode is active, the

ADC configuration takes place in the
Setup menu under “WP-1” under the
menu item ADC-CON.

– Enter the maximum capacities in a suit-

able weight unit, without any decimal
places (decimal places will be truncated
by the rounding function).

!If you return to the highest level of the

menu without saving the configuration
parameter beforehand (menu item save)
any settings that have been made will
be deleted.

– Entries made in the ADC configuration

will not be affected by a menu reset
(returning the set-up parameters to
their factory settings).

!Note:

Once the A/D converter configuration
has been locked, the indicator can no
longer be used 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, calibra­tion, reading the tare value,
saving/deleting the tare entry

Description of the Individual Menu

Items for the A/C Converter

Configuration

Standard or verifiable configuration

(menu items STAND. / VERIF.)

In ADC configuration it is first selected,

whether the weighing platform should

be configured as a standard or verifi-

able (for use in legal metrology) weigh-

ing platform.
– Standard configuration (STAND.)
– Verifiable configuration (VERIF.).

Accuracy Class (menu item CLASS)

Only displayed in verifiable configura-

tion.

Only menu items 3/4 (accuracy class

l/m) can be selected. If the menu item is

not already marked as being active with

a circle (o), the ) key must be pressed

once to activate it.

Range Selection (menu item RANGES)

Depending on the setting under this

menu item, the menu points RANGE 1,

RANGE 2 and RANGE 3 will either be

displayed or will not be displayed for

further configurations.
– Single range mode (SINGLE)

The entire weighing capacity is divided

into decimal numbers dependent on the

smallest scale interval d and the maxi-

mum weight. The readability corre-

sponds to the scale interval d.
– Multi-interval scale (MULT.INT.)

The function “multi-interval scale”

divides the weighing capacity into a

maximum of three intervals with differ-

ing readability. The corresponding

change takes place automatically at the

defined interval limits. After taring, the

best possible resolution (smallest scale

intervals) is available even when there is

a load on the weighing platform.
– Multiple range mode (MULT.R.)

A multiple-range scale has two or three

weighing ranges. When the range limit

for the lower weighing range is exceed-

ed, the scale switches into the next

highest weighing range (lower resolu-

tion). The scale only switches back to

the higher resolution when the weigh-

ing platform has been completely

unloaded.

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 Capacity (max. cap.)

The maximum capacity is the maximum
load 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 capacity and the scale inter­val d (e.g. max. capacity = 15.000 kg,
smallest scale interval = 0.005 kg yields
3000 scale intervals).
In legal metrology the total number of
intervals must be no more than 3125 e,
and when using multi-interval scales
there must not be more than 3125 e
intervals per range.

9

Range 1, Range 2, Range 3
(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. cap.
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 weighing units (menu item
UNITS)

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.
If you need to use this indicator as a
legal measuring instrument (legal for
trade), be sure you have selected a
permissible unit.

Save parameters (menu item SAVE)

The ADC configuration data is saved
once at the end of defining the settings
using the SAVE function.

Testing and configuration
for operation in legal metrology

A metrology plate is included in the
scope of supply of the indicator.
Once ADC configuration is complete,
record the metrological data for all
ranges on the metrology plate. Attach
the plate underneath the display and
cover with the supplied waterproof foil.

Under menu item 1.7, check that only
authorized weight units can be selected.

Entering Geographical Data

Purpose

Entering geographical data allows
the external calibration 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 calibrated 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 calibration 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.

An exception to this is the setting for
“Germany (Zone D)”:
If during external calibration of weigh­ing equipment within Germany the

geographical data
– 51.00° geographical latitude
– 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?.

On delivery the geographical data for

“Germany (Zone D)” are entered in the

output device.

It is recommended to use the geograph-

ical data settings for “Germany (Zone

D)” when calibrating 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.

Set-up Information

– It is only possible to enter geographical

data when the menu access switch is
open.

– Geographical data can be entered when

the service mode in the Setup menu for
“WP 1” is activated. The settings are
made in the corresponding Setup menu
under menu item 1.20.

– Either the geographical latitude in

degrees (menu item 1.20.1) and eleva­tion in m above sea level (menu item

1.20.2), or the value for gravitational
acceleration (menu item 1.20.3) can be
entered.
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.

! If you return to the highest level of

the Setup menu without saving the
configuration parameter beforehand
(menu item 1.20.4) any settings that
have been made will be deleted.

Procedure

– Open the menu access switch. If the

device is part of a verified weighing
facility, this will only be possible if the
verification seal is broken. The weighing

equipment must then be verified again.
– Activating the service mode
– Select the weighing platform
– Enter the geographical data for the

place of calibration under menu items

1.20.1 to 1.20.3 and save them under

menu item 1.20.4. The data can be

obtained from the relevant land registry

or Ordnance Survey.
– Carry out external calibration

(see page 20)
– After the calibration, enter the geo-

graphical data for the place of installa-

tion under menu items 1.20.1 to 1.20.3

and save them under menu item 1.20.4.
– Close the menu access switch.
– The weighing equipment can now be

operated at the place of installation,

and within the abovementioned toler-

ance zone.

Note:
The set geographical values are displayed
during the calibration procedure if the
display of the data has been activated
in the Setup menu under “utilit” menu
item 8.12.2 (factory setting: 8.12.1,
display deactivated).
When the display of the geographical
data is activated the calibration proce­dure is as follows:
If the elevation and geographical
latitude are used, after the start of the
calibration procedure “CAL” the word
“ALTITUDE” will appear briefly followed
by the set elevation (in meters above
sea level). The display is confirmed
using the ) key (and cancelled using
the ( key). Then, the word “LATITUDE”
will be displayed briefly, followed by
the set geographical latitude in degrees.
This can also be confirmed using the )
key (and cancelled using the ( key).
After this, you will be prompted to
place the calibration weight on the
platform. If gravitational acceleration
has been entered instead of elevation
and geographical latitude, the word
“GRAVITY” will appear briefly, followed
by the set value for gravitational accel­eration. The display is confirmed using
the ) key (and cancelled using the ( key).

Calibration, Adjustment

Purpose

The accuracy of the measurement
results must be checked. This is carried
out using calibration and adjustment.

Perform calibration to determine the
difference between the 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.

Features

The configured weighing platform
determines which of the following
features are available:

– External adjustment with the weight

of the factory setting – standard weight
(1.9.1), not for use in verified weighing
instruments

– External calibration with a user-defined

weight (1.9.3), not for use in verified
weighing instruments

– Block the key ) –> 2 sec to prevent

use of the functions described above
(1.9.10):

– Calibration with automatic adjustment

(1.10.1), not for use in verified weigh­ing instruments

– Calibration with the option of activat-

ing the adjustment function manually
(1.10.2)

– Adjustment prompt – flashing W sym-

bol (1.15.2).

– Block external adjustment (1.16.2)

– Display of elevation and geographical

latitude, or gravitational acceleration

after CAL has been displayed at the

start of the calibration procedure (menu

item 8.12.2). These values will only be

displayed if they have been entered and

activated in the service menu.

For each of the parameters elevation,

geographical latitude and gravitational

acceleration, the term is displayed first

(Altitude, Latitude or Gravity) for 1 sec-

ond, and then the corresponding value

is displayed continuously until you

press the ) key.

Note

When using verified weighing instru-

ments, the external calibration function

can only be used when the menu access

switch is open once the verification seal

has been broken. The device must then

be verified again.

Operation

Basic Weighing Function

Weighing W

The basic weighing function is always
accessible and can be used alone or in
combination with application programs,
such as Counting, Checkweighing,
Weighing in Percent, etc.

Features

– Zero the scale (

– Store the weight on the platform

as tare by pressing )

Midrics 2 only:

– Use the numeric keys to enter a tare

weight (press ) to save)

– Tare container weight automatically

– Delete tare values by entering 0

(press ) to save)

–

Press k to toggle the display between:
– Gross and net values, or
– Normal and 10-fold increased

resolution (displayed for max.
5 seconds)

Midrics 2 only:

– Individual ID codes for weight values

– Print weight values:

– Manually, by pressing p
– Automatically (see “Data Output

Functions")

– With GMP-compliant format

(see “Data Output Functions")

– Restore factory settings by selecting

the corresponding menu setting

Automatic Taring

The first weight on the scale that
exceeds the preset minimum load is
stored in the tare memory at stability.
The values for subsequent loads are
stored as weight values. The scale
returns to the initial state when the
load is less than 50% of the minimum
load.

Minimum Load

To tare container weights automati­cally, set the minimum load in the
operating menu.

You can choose from 10 settings,
defined in scale intervals (digits),
ranging from:

1 digit (no minimum load)
to
1000 digits

The “digits" here refer to the scale
intervals in the connected weighing
platform. Example: If the scale interval
(d) is 1000 g and the minimum load
is set to 1000 digits (=1000 scale
intervals), a load of at least 1000 g
is required for autotaring.

Automatic Printing

The first weight value that exceeds
the minimum load is printed.

Device Parameters

Keys

The keypad can be blocked.
There are four settings to choose from:
– All keys unblocked
– All keys blocked except e and M

Calibration and Adjustment

Purpose

Perform calibration to determine the dif­ference between the value displayed and
the actual weight on the platform. Cali­bration does not entail making
any changes within the weighing instru­ment.

Perform adjustment to eliminate any dif­ference determined, or to reduce
it to a level that is within the applicable
tolerance limits.

Configuration for Use in Legal Metrolo­gy

To configure the Midrics for use in
legal metrology, adjust the switch on the
back of the display and control unit (A/D
converter configuration: Verif. selected
for legal-for-trade applications). The
switch is covered by a
protective cap.

Position:

§ Switch on the right: For use in

legal metrology

Before the quantity on the platform
can be calculated, the reference sample
(average weight of one piece) must be
entered in the application. This is
known as “initializing" the application.
There are three ways to enter this value:

– Calculation:

– Place the number of parts defined

as the reference sample quantity
on the weighing platform and press
O to calculate the reference
sample weight

– Alternatively, you can place any

number of parts on the weighing
platform, enter the number of
parts using the keypad, and then
press the r key to calculate
the average piece weight
How the reference weight is calcu­lated depends on the application
setting for resolution (“Resolution
for calculation of reference value").
The value is either rounded off in
accordance with the display resolu­tion, or saved with 10-fold or 100­fold increased resolution or with the
maximum internal resolution of the
weighing platform.

– Keypad input: Enter a reference sample

weight (i.e., the weight of one piece)
using the keypad and press O to
save it.

After initialization, you can use the
weighing platform to count parts.
The initial application values are valid
until deleted by pressing the c key,
or until overwritten by new values.
They also remain saved after you switch
off the scale.

– Tare function:

1) If you store a tare (weight value) by

pressing the ) key, you can later
enter a tare value manually. The tare
value you enter is added to the stored
tare value.
Setting: menu code 3.25.1
(factory default)

2) A tare value entered manually
overwrites a stored tare value (weight
value). If you enter a tare value manu­ally, a tare value (weight value) stored
later overwrites the manually entered
value.

Minimum Load

To tare container weights automati­cally, set the minimum load in the
operating menu.

The minimum load required for
initialization of the weighing platform
is configured in the operating menu
under:

appl Z: 3.6.

– The error code Inf 29 is displayed
– The weighing platform is not initialized
– The preset reference sample quantity

is saved

You can choose from 10 settings,
ranging from

1 digit
to
1000 digits

Example: If the scale interval (d) is
1000 g and the minimum load is set
to 1000 digits (=1000 scale intervals),
a load of at least 1000 g is required
for autotaring.

Resolution for Calculation of
Reference Value

The resolution applied for calculating
the reference weight is defined in the
operating menu under:

appl Z: 3.9.

The resolution for calculating the
reference sample weight is increased if
“+1 decimal place", “+2 decimal places"
or “With internal resolution" is selected.
With the “+1 decimal place" setting,
the net value is determined to one
additional decimal place (i.e., display
accuracy + 10); the “+2 decimal places"
increases display accuracy + 100, and
so on up to the maximum resolution
available.

Parameter for Saving Weight Values

The weight on the platform is saved
as a reference when the platform has
stabilized. If you select “At increased
stability," the average piece weight
stored will be more accurate and the
results more reproducible, but the
response time of the weighing instru­ment might be longer.

Reference Sample Updating

The average piece weight (APW) is
updated automatically only when the
following 4 criteria are met:

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

2. The current piece count is no more
than double the original piece count.

3. The new piece count is less than 1000.

4. The scale is stable in accordance with
the defined stability parameter.

Auto Indicates that APW update is

active.

opt Indicates that the reference sample

is currently being updated.
During an updating operation,

0pt and

the updated piece count are displayed
briefly in the measured value line.

Minimum Load

The minimum load required for
initialization of the weighing platform
is configured in the operating menu
under:

Appl Z nM: 3.6.

Once the limit is exceeded by the load,
initialization can begin. If the load is
too light, the following will occur when
you try to save a value:

– The error code

Inf 29 is displayed

– The weighing platform is not initialized
– The preset calculation factor is saved

The minimum load required for auto­matic taring of the container weight on
the platform (“autotare first weight") is
configured in the operating menu
under:

Appl Z nM: 3.5.

You can choose from 10 settings,
ranging from

1 digit

a load of at least 1000 g is required
for autotaring.

Resolution for Calculation of
Reference Value

The resolution applied for calculating
the reference value is defined in the
operating menu under:

Appl Z nM: 3.9.

The resolution for calculating the
reference sample is increased if
“+1 decimal place", “+2 decimal places"
or “With internal resolution" is selected.
With the “+1 decimal place" setting,
the net value is determined to one
additional decimal place (i.e., display
accuracy +10); “+2 decimal places"
increases display accuracy + 100, and
so on up to the maximum resolution
available.

Parameter for Saving Weight Values

The reference weight is saved when
the platform has stabilized. “Stability"
is defined as the point at which
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 the operating menu, under:

Appl Z nM: 3.11.

you can define whether the value
is saved when “standard stability" is
reached, or only at “increased stability"
(narrower tolerance range). If you select
“At increased stability," the reference
weight saved will be more accurate and
the results more reproducible, but the
response time of the weighing instru­ment might be longer.

Decimal Places for Display of Results

a load of at least 1000 g is required
for autotaring.

Starting the Measurements

The averaging routine does not begin
until any fluctuation in the weight
value remains below a defined threshold
over three consecutive measurements.
The tolerance limit is defined as
a percentage of the animal or object
weight (for example, 0.1%;

Application: Weighing in Percent L

With the Weighing in Percent
application, you can have the value of
the weight on the platform displayed
as a percentage calculated in relation
to a defined reference weight.
The L symbol is displayed in place
of the weight unit.

Features

– Enter the reference weight “Wxx%"

for 100% using the keypad

– Save the current weight value as

reference percentage (“pRef")

– Enter the reference percentage “pRef"

via the keypad

– Display result as loss (difference)

or residue

– Restore factory settings. Configuration:

appl L: 9.1.

To determine the weight of a sample
relative to a reference weight, you need
to define the reference weight value.
There are three ways to enter this value
in the application program:

– Calculation:

– Place the reference quantity

(defined by the reference percent­age) on the connected weighing
platform and press O.

– 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 for
resolution (“Resolution for calculation
of reference value"). The value is either
rounded off in accordance with the dis­play resolution, or saved with 10-fold
or 100-fold increased resolution or
with the maximum internal resolution
of the weighing platform.

– Enter the reference weight for 100%

via the keypad and press the O key
to initialize the application.

The initial application values are valid
until deleted by pressing the c key
or until overwritten by new values.
They also remain saved after you switch
off the scale.

Minimum Load

The minimum load required for
initialization of the weighing platform
is configured in the operating menu
under:

Appl L: 3.6.

Once the limit is exceeded by the load,
initialization can begin. If the load
is too light, the following will occur
when you try to save a value:

– The error code

Inf 29 is displayed

– The weighing platform is not initialized
– The preset reference percentage is saved

The minimum load required for auto­matic taring of the container weight
on the platform (“autotare first weight")
is configured in the operating menu
under:

Appl L: 3.5.

You can choose from 10 settings,
ranging from

1 digit
to
1000 digits

Example: If the scale interval (d) is
1000 g and the minimum load is set
to 1000 digits (=1000 scale intervals),
a load of at least 1000 g is required
for autotaring.

Resolution for Calculation of
Reference Value

The resolution applied for calculating
the reference value is defined in the
operating menu under:

Appl L: 3.9.

The resolution for calculating the
reference sample weight is increased
if “+1 decimal place", “+2 decimal
places" or “With internal resolution"
is selected. With the “+1 decimal place"
setting, the net value is determined
to one additional decimal place (i.e.,
display accuracy + 10); “+2 decimal
places" increases display accuracy
+ 100, and so on up to the maximum
resolution available.

Parameter for Saving Weight Values

The reference weight is saved when
the platform has stabilized. “Stability"
is defined as the point at which
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 the operating menu, under:

Appl L: 3.11.

you can define whether the value
is saved when “standard stability" is
reached, or only at “increased stability"
(narrower tolerance range.) If you select
“At increased stability," the reference
weight saved will be more accurate and
the results more reproducible, but the
response time of the weighing instru­ment might be longer.

Display of Results

With the Weighing in Percent applica­tion, the result can be displayed as
the residue or the loss. Configuration:

Appl L: 3.15.

Equations:
Residue= (current weight –

100% weight) / * 100

Loss= (current weight –

100% weight) /
100% weight * 100

Application: Checkweighing O

With the Checkweighing 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 specified
target weight.

Features

– Enter the nominal or target weight

(setpoint) and the tolerance range
delimiters either using the keypad or
by saving the weight value from
a load on the platform.

– Enter the tolerance limits as absolute

values (Min and Max) or as percentages
of the target. Configuration:

Appl O: 4.5.

– The target value can be taken over

as a weighed value from a weighing
platform, and the tolerance limits are
defined by the percentage of deviation
from the target value (menu code

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%.

– The target value, lower tolerance limit

(minimum) and upper tolerance limit
(maximum) can be taken over as
weighed values from the weighing
platform.

– 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

and the bar graph and sent to control
output ports for further processing.

– Toggle the main display between

weight and tolerances limits by pressing
w. If the weight on the readout is
outside the tolerance range, “

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 displayed.
You can also define upper and lower
tolerance limits based on this target.
You can do this by:

Configuration:

Appl W: 9.1.

The lower limit of Class 1 is defined
by the preset minimum load. The other
classes are configured by defining
their upper limits. There are two ways
to enter the delimiters for classes 1
through 3 (or 5):

– By saving the weight value displayed:

Each upper value, with the exception of
the highest, 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 defined 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, up to 100 g
Class 2: >100 g to 115 g
Class 3: > 115 g, up to maximum load
When working with 5 classes, this yields
the following weight classes:
Class 0: up to the minimum load
Class 1: > minimum load, up to 100 g
Class 2: >100 g to 115 g
Class 3: >115 g to 130 g
Class 4: >130 g to 145 g
Class 5: > 145 g, up to maximum load

– Add a weight value manually by

pressing O
The net value 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
defined minimum load is exceeded.
If the defined minimum load is not
exceeded, you can save the item
manually by pressing the O key.
The scale must be unloaded before
the sample is placed on the platform.
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 generated
automatically.

– Tare function:

Configuring the Data
Interface as a Printer Port
(printer)

You can connect one or two strip
printers or one or two label printers to
the Midrics. Configure the COM1 and
UniCOM interfaces as printer ports
under the “

Printer" menu item.

There are several actions that
generate the command for sending
data to the printer port:

– Pressing the p key. If the operating

menu is active, all menu settings under
the active menu level are printed.

– On receipt of the SBI command

“Esc k P _".

– In some applications, pressing

a given key (e.g., to save a value or
start a routine), also generates a print
command. In this case, a configurable
printout is generated with application­specific data.

The P and b symbols are displayed
while data is being sent to the
printer port.

Configuring Printouts

Printouts are configured in the operating
menu under the “Printouts" menu item
(

prtprot). Printouts should be formatted

only after the desired application has been
configured, as some of the positions are
application-dependent.
You can configure a different printout
for each interface. Each printout contains
your choice of the information blocks
described in the following; to enable or
disable a block in the printout, select it
or deselect it in the operating menu.

Midrics 2 only:
For the Totalizing and Net-total
Formulation applications, you can also
configure summarized printouts (results)
independent of individual component
value printouts.

Block 1: Headers and Identifier Names

You can define 2 header lines, each with
up to 20 characters (e.g., for printing your
company's name).
Enter the header lines under menu items

7.4.1 and 7.4.2. Forty characters each are

available for identifier names ID1 through
ID4. Enter these names using menu items
7-4-3 through 7-4-6. Blank header lines
are not printed.
Example: format of Block 1:

ACE HARDWARE

GOETTINGEN
ID1 123
ID4 789

In this example, the company name
is centered on the printout. This was
achieved by entering 3 spaces at the
beginning of the first, and 4 spaces at
the beginning of the second line.

Block 2: Date/Time

(not on Midrics 1)
Example: format of Block 2:

21.01.2006 16:02

To achieve a standardized time stamp
(e.g., for documentation in a fully
automated system), you can disable the
printout of the time in this information
block by selecting “Device parameters:
Config. printout: Date/time: Date only"
(7.12.2; factory setting: 7.12.1., “Date
block includes time on printout"). When
the “Time not printed" setting is active,
the time stamp can be inserted by a high­er-level controller or central computer to
maintain consistent time stamping. This
setting is especially important for commu­nication between scale and computer.

Separating Block:

Dotted line, blank line (for the Weighing
application).
This block is automatically inserted before
further information blocks are printed.

--------------------

Block 3: Initialization Data

Which data is included in this block depends
on the active application. It can include,
for example, reference sample quantity,
reference piece weight, target weight, etc.
The block is terminated with a blank line.
This block can only by activated for the
standard printout; it cannot be selected
for the printout of results.
Example: format of Block 3 (Counting
application)

nRef 10 pcs
wRef + 0.035 kg

8383

GMP-compliant Printouts

When the corresponding menu item is
active, the measured result is bracketed
on the printout by a GMP header and
a GMP footer (GMP = “Good Manufactur­ing Practice").
The GMP header precedes the first
measured result. The GMP footer is printed
either after each measured result
(“ISO/GLP/GMP: For 1 application result,"
menu item

7.11.2), or after the last result

in a series of measurements
(“ISO/GMP/GLP: For several application
results," menu item

7.11.3). To end a

series of measured results, press and hold
the p key (> 2 seconds). In this case,
the A symbol is displayed after the
GMP header is printed and remains in the
display until the GMP footer is printed.

A GMP-compliant printout is generated
automatically at the conclusion of
calibration/adjustment routines, as well as
when you set or clear a preload.

If you use a label printer for GMP­compliant printouts and menu item

7.11.3

is active, the header and footer are printed
on two different labels. To generate
GMP-compliant printouts on labels, select
menu item

7.11.2.

Examples of GMP headers and
one example of a footer are shown
in the following.

Checkweighing Application

The “Initialization data" block contains
the nominal, minimum and maximum
weights. The “Results" block always
contains the gross, net and tare
weights. The other results can be dis­played in one of two ways:

– Weight display

The deviation from the nominal weight
is given both as a percentage and as an
absolute (weight) value, whether the
result lies within the “OK" range or not.

– Result = Threshold status:

If the result lies within the tolerance
limits, the printout shows the deviation
from the nominal weight both as
a percentage and as an absolute
(weight) value, just as in the “Weight"
printout mode described above.
If the result is outside the tolerance
limits, the last line of the printout
indicates the status as follows:

Care and Maintenance

Service

Regular maintenance of your equip­ment by your customer service partner
ensures continued weighing accuracy.

The frequency of the maintenance
intervals depends on the operating
conditions and user’s tolerance
requirements.

Repairs

!Disconnect the power supply to the

defective equipment immediately
(unplug the power cord from the mains
supply). Repairs should only be carried
out by qualified personnel authorized
by Sartorius, using original spare parts.
Any attempt by unqualified personnel
to carry out repair work may cause dan­ger for the user. Note: During the guar­antee period, return the entire indicator.

!Replace defective or damaged cables or

cable glands as a unit.

!Do not open the equipment while

power is on. After disconnecting the
power supply, wait at least 10 seconds
before opening. As the mating surfaces

Declarations of Conformity

In 1985, the Council of the European
Community approved a resolution con­cerning a new approach to the technical
harmonization and standardization of
national regulations. monitoring of
compliance with the directives and
standards concerning the C mark is
governed through the implementation
of the EC Directives adopted by the
respective national laws. In December
1993, the scope of validity for all EC
Directives was extended to the Member
States of the European Union and the
Signatories of the Agreement on the
European Economic Area.

Sartorius complies with the EC Direc­tives and European Standards in order
to supply its customers with instru­ments which feature the latest technol­ogy, and which will provide many years
of trouble-free service.

The C mark may only be affixed to
weighing instruments and associated
equipment if compliance with the fol­lowing Directives has been established:

Re-verification in Germany
The validity of the verification ends
when the next but one calendar year
has elapsed. When the weighing instru­ment is used for the control of filling
quantities according to the regulation
on prepackaging, the verification ends
when the next calendar year has
elapsed. At present, re-verification is the
responsibility of Weights and Measures
officials. Re-verification should be
requested in good time from the local
Weights and Measures office.
If necessary, please observe any
statutory amendments.

Re-verification in other European
countries
The period of validity of the verification
is determined by the regulations of the
particular country in which the weigh­ing instrument is used. For information
on legal regulations currently applicable
in your country, and to obtain names of
the persons responsible, please contact
the local Sartorius customer service
center. Further information concerning
verification can be obtained from our
customer service centers.
