Practical Use
The CC.....-L / CCE…..-L controller regulates the load alternator function
sequences as well as the collection and evaluation of measured data.
The individual values measured are output automatically to the built-in
printer with the date and time of measurement and the calculated results.
A modern, touch-screen display shows all function sequences and also
serves as the user interface for operating the controller.
User guidance prompts in plain English will guide you through the simple
operation of the device.
You can choose the following languages:
- German
- English
- Spanish
- French
All of the function sequences are displayed and can be activated by pressing
the corresponding field on the right hand side of the touch screen e. g.
The number in this corresponding field is match marking to the number in
front of the function sequence.
The corresponding touch fields are not in the same line to the function
sequences on the touch screen.
Operators errors are virtually impossible!
The controller recognizes the position of the load alternator at all times; if
you select a function that cannot or should not be performed from a certain
position, an error message is displayed and the function is n
not
performed.
This prevents damage to the mass comparator that could otherwise have
been caused by operator error.
You can choose the following measurement sequences:
1 x A B B A - cycle
6 x A B B A - cycles
02 - 99 x A B B A - cycles
With the 4-position load alternator, you can compare:
- 2 weights: N - 2
- 4 weights: N - 1 / N - 2 / N - 3
- Combinations: N - 1 / 1 - 2 / N - 3 / 1 - 3 / N - 2 / 3 - 2
The reset key is to stop the measurement
also the emergency interrupt key.
As soon as you press the reset key, the load alternator is stopped and
remains in the position it was in when you pressed reset. Any measurement
sequence running at the time is stop.
The display indicates that the function was interrupted.
You can also press reset to stop a measurement sequence after you have
selected the continuous function.

Manual operation with the cursor buttons
There are four cursor buttons on the front side.
With this cursor buttons you can easy operate the load alternator, in it’s
basic movements.
That means turning right and left, lifting or lowering the platform.
This is helpful for loading the platform from the front side and other
applications.
The cursor buttons are only active if the main menu appears on the display.
See page no. 5
Movement vertically:
Movement horizontally:
Four control light identify the current position and the activity of the load
alternator.
All lights on means that the platform is in the upper position.
Movement in all directions is possible.
A blinking control light identifies the actually operation relating to the
direction of movement.
A non active control light means that a movement in this direction is not
possible.
To start the movement by your choice, press the cursor button.
Horizontal movement:
- short press turn 90 degrees,
- long press (3 sec.) turn 180 degrees,
Vertical movement:
- short press move - from the top toward to centre, or
- from the centre to the lower position, or
- raise from the lower to the centre, or
- raise from the centre to the upper position
- long press move - direct from the upper to the lower,
- from the lower to the upper position.
Note:
Two control lights on the printer indicate the capacity of the paper
A green light means: enough paper
A red light means: paper roll come to end
If the paper roll in the printer runs out in the middle of a measuring
sequence, the printer switches off.
The individual values measured and the results calculated after the printer
shuts off are stored in memory.
For example: with 6 x A B B A selected, the memory can store data from up
to 6 complete measurements.
When the memory is full, this is indicated by a crossed-out printer symbol in
the display.
The load alternator continues according to the selected function sequence.
Subsequent measurement data are not stored.
To retain the data stored in memory:
- Do not interrupt the measurement sequence
- Do not press reset
- Do not turn off the controller
Place a new roll of paper in the printer (see "Maintenance")
The stored data are output to the printer.

Setting the
Delay Time Before Taken Values (XX)
The following setting windows is displayed
A third configuration windows is displayed.
This setting defines a period of time before measured
values are transmitted after the mass comparator has been
loaded.
This time begins as soon as the mass comparator is loaded
and the load alternator motor
shuts off.
Because of, once the mass comparator has been
loaded and the stability symbol „g“ is displayed, the weight
value may drift slightly until the weight value is recognized
as a stable value in order to be transmitted.
This time may differ from location to location and must be
determined before performing the actual
measurement.
The factory setting is 20.

Setting the Scale - Timeout
This setting defines the time at which a
measurement is to be automatically aborted in the
event of an error, for example,
if the stability symbol „g“ is n
not
displayed after
the mass comparator has been loaded.
This may happen if there is any interference due to
vibration transferred to the surface on which the
mass comparator rests, turbulent air currents or
changes in the climatic conditions.
Another source of this error is if the wrong
substitution weight (F2 key on the display panel
of the mass comparator) was selected for the weight
to be measured.
An additional source of this error is if the wrong
number of weights was selected in the menu
„Type of comparisons“
before beginning the measurement;
for example using 2 weights when 4 have actually
been selected or visa versa.
Scale - Timeout (
ON
) = waiting time 1 hour

Data Interface ( Aux )
General:
The individual measurements printed out during the measurement process are also available as an ASCII string at the
data interface (Aux) and can be received by the PC for further processing,
The measurements are always output in a couple of a combined data string.
Two different formats selectable. (refer configurations page 5 and results via AUX on page 11).
Results via AUX:
1. ( v
values only
) = data output of measurements values only
2. ( v
values and time
) = data output of measurements values with numbers of ABBA - cycles and time.
Values only
The measurements are always output in a couple of a combined data string comprising the measurements A and B oor
B and A (separated by a space).
The number of characters to be transferred is always 22.
The data output is as follows:
Measurement A, 1 space, measurement B and CR (carriage return n
no
CR/LF).
A line feed signal (LF) must be generated each time after data is received from the PC so that the next measured
values to be received appear in a new line. Otherwise, the new values will overwrite the former values.
Data output example: CCE1000S-L
Measurement A: - 0.000123, Measurement B: - 0.000456
Data string:
- 0 . 0 0 0 1 2 3 - 0 . 0 0 0 4 5 6 CR

2 - 10 measurement value A with decimal point
11 space
12 ± sign for measurement B (one space if sign is + )
13 - 21 measurement value B with decimal point
22 carriage return
The Data string is 22 characters long and to partition as follows.
11 character = measurement A (B)
11 character = measurement B (A)

This means that the data string consists of the transaction counter (number of the ABBA cycle),
time of value A, value A, time of value B and value B, or these data for B and A, respectively.
The calculations of the differences and the final result does not belong to the output.
The controller ( control unit ) recognizes different numbers of characters for the measured values so that the data
string is correctly sorted with one setting on all automatic mass comparators model.
The Data string is 41 characters long and to partition as follows.
The partition of the data string is follows:
2 characters = number
1 characters = space
8 characters = time measurement A (B)
10 characters = measurement A (B)
1 characters = space
8 characters = time measurement B (A)
10 characters = measurement B (A)

Programming for external operation with PC
Introduction
The load alternator can be operated from a PC via the “AUX” port. Measurement procedures can be freely
programmed as required.
As the data protocol runs in 7 bit / ASCII format, any terminal program on the PC is suitable for testing the functions.
Interface parameters: 9600 Baud
EVEN Parity
1 start bit
7 data bits
1 stop bit
n
no
handshake, local echo must be switched off
Linking the PC to the control unit
Switch on the control unit of the load alternator.
Make sure that the main menu is displayed on the controller; if necessary key to the Sartorius logo.
To link the PC to the control unit, send a C
CR
( Carriage Return only nno CR/LF ) at intervals until the alternator responds
with ready for operation “?
??
”.
The control unit display will bring up the message “S
System controlled externally
”.
This message will remain on the display as long as the external control condition persists.
The built-in printer is disabled
.
On the PC monitor, two question marks “???” will be displayed indicating the system’s readiness to receive commands.
If further data (parameters, confirmations) are required, this will be indicated by the appearance of a single question
mark “?
?
”.
All command codes consist of a single letter or numeral. (No Carriage Return “CR” must be sent).
The alternator sends back the character it receives (echo) by way of confirmation.
Once the command has been executed, “?
??
” will be displayed on the screen.

Maintenance
Replacing the Paper Roll
Turn on the controller.
Lift up the printer cover .
Locate the small lever to the right of the paper transport roll and move it
towards the front.
Insert the start of the paper roll w
with the inside towards the front
into the
retainer behind the paper transport roll and move the lever back to its
original position.
The paper is drawn in automatically.
Press the grey push button to transport more paper, if is necessary.
Lift back the printer cover.
Order no.:
69 C 00034 (set of 5 roll thermo paper)
Note:
If the paper roll in the printer runs out in the middle of a measuring
sequence, the printer switches off. The individual values measured and the
results calculated after the printer shuts off are stored in memory.
With 6 x A B B A selected, for example, the memory can store data from up
to 6 complete measurement.
When the memory is full, this is indicated by a crossed-out printer symbol in
the display.
The load alternator continues according to the selected function sequence.
Subsequent measurement data are not stored.
To retain the data stored in memory:
- Do not interrupt the measurement sequence
- Do not press reset
- Do not turn off the controller
Place a new roll of paper in the printer as described above.
When you return the lever to its original position, the stored data are
printed automatically.
If the printer symbol was not yet displayed, the subsequent measured data
