Safety Information:

§ Please read these operating instructions

carefully before using your indicator to prevent damage to the equipment.

! Do not use this equipment in

hazardous areas.

! Use only standard cables that have

protective grounding conductors. The protective conductor must not be disconnected for any reason.

! Disconnect the indicator from power

before connecting or disconnecting peripheral devices.

! The indicator may be opened only

by trained service technicians.

! If you operate the equipment under

ambient conditions subject to higher safety standards, you must comply with the applicable installation regulations.

! If there is visible damage to the

equipment or power cord, unplug the equipment and make sure it cannot be used for the time being.

Installation:

– Proceed with extreme caution when

using pre-wired RS-232 connecting cables from other manufacturers, as the pin assignments may not be compatible with Sartorius equipment. Check all pin assignments against the cabling diagrams and disconnect any lines that are not assigned.

– Connect only Sartorius accessories and

options, as these are optimally designed for use with your Combics indicator. The operator shall be solely responsible for installation and testing of any modifications to Sartorius equipment, including connection of cables or equipment not supplied by Sartorius. Contact Sartorius for detailed operating specifications in accordance with the Standards for immunity to interference.

$ If you have any problems with your

Combics indicator, contact your local Sartorius customer service center.

IP Rating:

– CISL models are rated to IP44

(with Option L1: IP65); CIS models are rated to IP67.

– The IP65/IP67 protection rating is

ensured only if the rubber gasket is installed and all connections are fastened securely (including the caps on unused sockets). Weighing instruments must be installed and tested by a certified technician.

– If you install an interface port 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.

Using the Equipment in Legal Metrology in the EU*:

– When the indicator is connected to a

weighing instrument and the resulting weighing instrument is to be verified, make sure to observe the applicable regulations regarding verification. When connecting a Sartorius weighing instrument, please observe the “Guide to Verification" on the enclosed CD and the permitted weighing range as listed in the Declaration of Conformity.

– EU legislation requires that a control

seal be affixed to the verified device. The control seal consists of a sticker with the “Sartorius" logo. This seal will be irreparably damaged if you attempt to remove it. If any of the verification seals are damaged, make sure to observe the national regulations and standards applicable in your country in such cases. In some countries, the verification will become null and void and the equipment must be re-verified.

Automatic Taring (Menu Item 3.7)

When menu item 3.7.2 is active, the first load placed on the weighing instrument that exceeds the specified minimum load is stored, at stability, in the tare memory. The weighing instrument returns to the initial state when the load is less than 50% of the minimum load.

Minimum Load for Automatic Taring and Automatic Printing (Menu Item 3.5)

You can choose from the following settings 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 intervals in the connected weighing instrument. If the interval of the connected instrument is 1 g, for example, and 1000 digits are required, the minimum load is 1000 g (=1000 digits). If the interval of the connected instrument is 5 g and the same number of intervals is required as in the example above, the minimum load is 5000 g.

Once the load on the weighing instrument exceeds the specified minimum, the instrument is tared and/or a printout is generated, if the operating menu is configured for automatic taring (menu item 3.7.2) and/or automatic printing (menu item 7.13.2).

Automatic Printing (Menu Item 7.13)

When menu item 7.13.2 is active, the first weight value that exceeds the specified minimum load is printed. If the menu code for automatic taring is also active, the weighing instrument is only tared when the minimum load is exceeded; the value is not printed.

First Weighing Instrument Displayed (Combics 2 only)

You can define which weighing instrument shows the first weight value when you switch on the Combics, under utilit (menu item 8.9).

Entering Tare Weight using a Bar Code Scanner (Combics 1 plus and Combics 2 only)

You can enter the tare value of a container using a bar code scanner. To do this, the “Store value as tare" (tare) menu item must be selected under “Setup > Bar code" in the operating menu. In this case, the value is stored as the tare automatically, without pressing the t key. The contents of the tare memory are display in Info mode (press and hold w).

Entering ID Codes using a Bar Code Scanner (Combics 1 plus only)

You can use a bar code scanner to enter ID codes. To do this, the “Store value as ID1" (id1) menu item must be selected under “Setup > Bar code" in the operating menu. In this case, the value is stored as ID1 automatically, without pressing the g key. To store the second ID code, the h key must be pressed. To view the stored ID codes:

– Press I and g – Press I and h

Calibration and Adjustment

Purpose

The accuracy of weighing results must be carefully controlled. This is achieved through calibration and adjustment.

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

The adjustment procedure actually eliminates the difference between the readout and the actual weight, or reduces it to a level within the permissible tolerance limits.

Features

Which of the following features are available depends on the weighing instrument:

– External calibration/adjustment with

the default weight value or standard weight (1.9.1) (not available on verified instruments)

– External calibration/adjustment with

a user-defined weight (1.9.3) (not available on verified instruments)

– Internal calibration/adjustment for

IS platform (1.9.4), WP2 only

– Block the ) key to prevent use of the

two functions described above (1.9.10)

– Calibrate first; then adjust automatically

(1.10.1) (not available on verified instruments)

– Calibrate, then prompt for manual input

of adjustment command (1.10.2)

– Calibration prompt: flashing W symbol

(1.15.2). If more than one weighing instrument is connected, the instrument number is also displayed.

– Block external calibration/adjustment

(1.16.2)

– Display altitude and geographical

latitude or acceleration of gravity after CAL is shown at the beginning of the calibration procedure (menu item

8.12.2). These values are shown only if they have been entered in the service menu and activated. For each of these parameters, the term is displayed first (Altitud, Latitud or Gravity) for 1 second, and then the corresponding value is displayed continuously until you press ).

Note

On verified weighing instruments, the external calibration/adjustment function is available only when the menu access switch is in the “open” position, which entails breaking the verification seal (refer to the chapter entitled “Service"). The equipment must be reverified after the seal has been broken.

Counting Z

With the Counting application, you can determine the number of parts that each have approximately equal weight.

Features:

– Store the weight on the weighing

instrument as reference weight

– Enter reference weight using

a bar code scanner

– Enter tare weight using a bar code

scanner

– Automatic reference sample updating

(user-definable)

– Counting with two weighing

instruments

– Toggle the display between piece count

and weight by pressing w

– Info mode for display of average piece

weight and reference sample quantity by pressing w (> 2 sec)

Before the quantity on the weighing instrument can be calculated, the average piece weight must be entered in the application. There are 2 ways to do this with the Combics:

– By placing the number of parts defined

as the reference sample quantity on the weighing instrument and pressing O to store the average piece weight.

The reference sample quantity is shown in the numeric display, and can be changed by pressing r.

How the reference weight is calculated depends on the menu setting for resolution (3.9). Either the value is rounded off in accordance with the display resolution, or the display resolution is increased 10-fold (+1 decimal place) or 100-fold (+ 2 decimal places), or maximum internal resolution is applied.

– By entering the reference piece

weight (i.e., the weight of one piece) using a bar code scanner (menu setting: “Setup> Bar code > Store value as reference (ref)"). In this case, the value is stored as a reference automatically, without pressing the O key.

This value remains active in the reference memory until you delete it by pressing c, overwrite it or until you select a different application. It also remains in memory when you switch to a different application program, or switch off the Combics.

Storage Parameter

The reference weight is saved when the weighing instrument 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 weighing instrument is at “stability." This setting is also applied when you zero the weighing instrument. Under menu item 3.11 you can determine whether the value is saved “At stability" (normal tolerance range) or “At increased stability" (narrower tolerance range). 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.

Minimum Load for Initialization

The minimum load for initialization is configured under menu item 3.6. If the load exceeds this limit, the weighing instrument can be initialized. If the load 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 weighing instrument is not

initialized – The preset reference sample quantity

is stored

Reference Sample Updating

In the Application settings under 3.12, you can define whether the reference sample is updated automatically. Reference sample updating is performed automatically only when the following 6 criteria are met:

1. Menu item 3.12.3 is active

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

3. The current piece count is less than twice the original piece count (does not apply for the first update if the piece count is entered using a bar code scanner).

4. The current piece count is less than 100.

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

6. The weighing instrument is stable in accordance with the defined stability parameter.

When automatic reference sample updating is active, the AUTO symbol is displayed in addition to the Counting symbol (Z). When the reference sample has been updated,

OPT

is dis-

played below

AUTO

. During an updating operation, 0pt and the updated piece count are displayed briefly in the main display.

At the conclusion of reference sample updating, a beep is sounded and the new reference weight and reference sample quantity are stored. Activate the “Info" mode to view the reference values (press and hold w > 2 sec).

Counting with Two Weighing Instruments

You can use two weighing instruments simultaneously with the Counting application. When using two instruments, you can choose from the following operating modes:

– Counting with two equivalent weighing

instruments

– Counting with one reference weighing

instrument and one counting platform

Counting with Two Equivalent Weighing Instruments Use this mode when samples of widely varying weight are counted at one workstation. Count the lighter-weight pieces on one weighing instrument and the heavier pieces on another. When you press n to toggle from one weighing instrument to the other, the application is re-initialized. You can define which of the two weighing instruments is active in the display when the Combics is switched on (menu item 8.11). This is the first weighing instrument active when you switch on the Combics, regardless of the setting for automatic initialization of the Counting application.

Counting with One Reference Weighing Instrument and One Counting Platform In this mode, a high-resolution weighing instrument with a relatively low maximum capacity is used as a reference weighing instrument. The weighing platform is used for weighing heavier samples, and has a high capacity with a relatively low resolution. This way, you can both determine the reference sample quantity very precisely and count large amounts of parts, without requiring an expensive highresolution, high-capacity weighing platform. Specify which weighing instrument is the reference instrument under menu item 3.13. The system toggles automatically to the reference weighing instrument for initialization (Ref is displayed). Following initialization, the system toggles to the counting platform.

The system does not toggle automatically for automatic reference sample updating; the update is based on whichever instrument is active.

Neutral Measurement Z nm

When the Neutral Measurement application is selected, you can use your weighing instrument to measure the length, surface and volume of parts that have roughly the same specific weight. The

symbol is displayed as the weight

unit.

Features:

– Store the weight on the weighing

instrument as reference weight

– Enter reference weight using a bar code

scanner

– Enter tare weight using a bar code

scanner

– Toggle the display between weight

and calculated value by pressing w

– Info mode for display of reference

weight by pressing w (> 2 sec)

To calculate the result correctly, the average weight of a reference quantity must be known (in the example below, the reference is 1 meter of electrical cable). There are 2 ways to do this with the Combics:

– By placing the number of parts defined

for the reference value on the weighing instrument and pressing O to store the average piece weight.

The reference value is shown in the numeric display, and can be changed by pressing r.

– By entering the reference weight (i.e.,

the weight of one piece) using a bar code scanner (menu setting: “Setup> Bar code > Store value as reference (ref)"). In this case, the value is stored as a reference automatically, without pressing the O key.

This value remains active in the reference memory until you delete it by pressing c, overwrite it or until you select a different application. It also remains stored after you switch off the Combics.

Checkweighing O

When the Checkweighing application is selected, you can check whether sample weights correspond to a specified target weight; i.e., whether the weight on the weighing instrument is within a given tolerance range. The tolerance range is defined by upper and lower limits. The result is displayed in the main indicator, in the bar graph and by colorcoded LEDs.

Features:

– The target value can be taken over

as a weighed value from a weighing instrument, and the tolerance limits are defined as a perceptual deviation from the target value. 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 instrument.

– 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

– Application started automatically

with most recent application data

when Combics switched on – Automatic taring – Automatic printing – Toggle the display between weight

and tolerances limits by pressing w.

When tolerances are displayed, weights

exceeding the tolerance limits are

shown with “LL" (too low) or “HH"

(too high). – Digital input/output interface – Info mode for display of tolerance limits

by pressing w (> 2 sec)

Checkweighing entails comparing the current weight value to a defined target. The target value has a tolerance range which can be entered either as an absolute value or percentage (menu item 4.5).

– Entering the tolerance range as

an absolute value (weighed value) (menu item 4.5.1): Start initialization by pressing O; the middle segments of the bar graph flash to prompt the placement of the weight on the weighing instrument. Place the weight on the instrument and press O to store. The bar graph segment for the lower limit flashes to prompt the weight for lower limit. Place the weight on the weighing instrument and press O to store. The bar graph segment for the upper limit flashes to prompt the weight for upper limit. Place the weight on the weighing instrument and press O to store.

– Entering the tolerance range as

a percentage (menu item 4.5.2): A value for the percentage is shown in the numeric display (lower right-hand corner) together with the “%" sign. Press r to change the percentage value (0.1%, 0.2%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 3%, 5%, 10%). Start initialization by pressing O; the middle segments of the bar graph flash to prompt the placement of the weight on the weighing instrument. Place the weight on the instrument and press O to store. To can change the percentage value for the tolerance limits again before the target value is stored, press r.

Before the new initialization, the previous initialization values must be deleted by pressing c.

Display

The result of a measurement is shown either as a weight value or in relation to the target. You can toggle between these two display modes by pressing w.

– Weight display mode:

The main display always shows the weight value, even if the value is outside the tolerance range. The bar graph is displayed with symbols indicating lower limit, target and upper limit. It shows a logarithmic display of the current load if the weight is anywhere from 0 to the minimum load, and a linear display for weights beyond that range. The LEDs indicate the following: Yellow: weight value >

upper tolerance limit

Green: weight value is

within tolerance

Red: weight value <

lower tolerance limit If no LED lights up: – the application is not completely

initialized, or

– the weight value is outside

the checkweighing range (see menu item 4.2)

– the weighing instrument has

not stabilized

– Tolerance limit display mode:

As “Weight display mode" above, with the exception that: – LL is shown on the main display

if the weight value is lower than the target, and

– HH is shown on the main display

if the weight value is higher than the target

Digital Input/Output Interface

The Checkweighing application supports the digital input/output interface. There are 4 control lines, or outputs, which are activated as follows

(also refer to the diagram): – Lighter – Equal – Heavier – Set

The “SET" output normally changes

its voltage level when the load is near

the target weight. Alternatively, you can

assign the “Ready-for-use" function to

this port (menu item 4.3.2).

Under menu item 4.4, you can define

whether these control ports are – inactive (4.4.1) – always active (4.4.2) – active at stability (4.4.3) – active within the check range, or – active at stability within the check range

For example, you can use this function

to show the weighed or measured result

on a simple external indicator, similar to

the 3 LEDs on the Combics 2.

All data output ports have a high

voltage level when: – the application has not been initialized, – the weighing instrument is not at

stability and one of the “at stability…"

parameters, (4.4.3 or 4.4.5) is selected,

or – the weight is not within the check

range (4.4.4).

Classification O cl

With the Classification application, you can determine whether the weight of a given sample lies within the limits of a defined weight class.

Features:

– Configure 3 or 5 classes (menu item 4.8) – Define contiguous classes – Define classes that cover the entire

weighing range of the weighing instrument

– Range below the specified minimum

load is designated “Class 0"

– Define the upper limit of a given

class by storing weight on weighing instrument or by entering a weight value and a percentage

– Show the current weight in the

main display as a weight value or as belonging to a certain class

– Class of current weight also indicated

by 1 LED (when using 3 classes) or 2 LEDs (when using 5 classes) 2 LEDs (when using 5 classes)

– Toggle the display between weight

and class by pressing w.

– Digital input/output interface – Info mode for display of class limits by

pressing w (> 2 sec)

Operating the Combics 2

To use the Classification application,

you need to enter the delimiters that

separate one class from another.

– Start the initialization by pressing O.

The lower limit of Class 1 is defined

by the preset minimum load.

Weight values below minimum load

are classified as belonging to Class 0, in

part to prevent an unloaded weighing

instrument from displaying a value that

designates a class.

You can enter the other class delimiters

as absolute values or percentages

(menu item 4.9).

– Entering the class delimiters

as absolute values (weighed values)

(menu item 4.9.1):

For each upper limit (except that of

the highest class), place a load on the

weighing instrument and press O to

store it as the upper limit of a class.

The bar graph and the numeric

display show the limit currently being

configured.

Each time you store a value for an

upper limit, a check is run to make sure

the value is equal to or greater than

the upper limit of the previous class.

If the value is invalid, an acoustic signal

is emitted; the limit must be entered

again.

– Entering delimiters as percentages

(menu item 4.9.2):

Define the upper limit of Class 1 by

placing the corresponding weight on

the weighing instrument and pressing

O. The value is equal to 100 %.

The upper limit of Class 2 is equal

to 100 % plus the percentage you select

by pressing r (1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, 50,

70, 100, 150, 199 %).

Example: A load of 100 g is stored from

the weighing instrument as the upper

limit of Class 1. The value 15% is then

entered, defining the upper limit of

Class 2 as 115 g.

In this case, the weight ranges when

working with 5 classes are:

Class 0: up to the minimum load

Class 1: Minimum load – 100 g

Class 2: 100 g – 115 g

Class 3: 115 g – 130 g

Class 4: 130 g – 145 g

Class 5: 145 g – maximum capacity

Before a new initialization,

the previous initialization values must

be deleted by pressing c.

Minimum Load for Initialization and Defining the Class 1 Lower Limit

The minimum load defines the lower limit for Class 1 (i.e., the delimiter between Classes 0 and 1). The application can only be initialized (to define the upper limit of Class 1) when the load on the weighing instrument exceeds the minimum load.

Display

The result of a given measurement is shown as either a weight value or the class number. You can toggle between these two display modes by pressing w.

– Weight display; 3 classes:

The current weight is shown in the display; for example: 108.7 g Class 1 Bar graph:

Numeric display: 1 LED: red is lit

Class 2 Bar graph:

Numeric display: 2 LED: green is lit

– Class display; 5 classes

The current class is shown in the display; for example: class 1, and the bar graph indicates the current weight. The LEDs are lit as for the weight display described above.

Digital Input/Output Interface

The Classification application supports the digital input/output-interface. There are 4 control lines, or outputs, which are activated as follows (also refer

to the diagram): – Lighter – Equal – Heavier – Set

The “Set" line usually indicates that the

minimum load is exceeded. Alternatively,

you can assign the “Ready-for-use"

function to this port.

Under menu item 4.7, you can define

whether these control ports are – inactive (4.7.1), – always active (4.7.2), or – active at stability (4.7.3).

This makes it possible, for example,

to connect a simple indicator for

weighing or calculation results, similar

to the 3-segment checkweighing

display on the Combics, or control

an automatic process.

Weighing in Percent L

With the Weighing in Percent application, you can use your weighing instrument to obtain weight readouts in percent which are in proportion to a reference weight. The L symbol is displayed as the weight unit.

Features:

– Store the weight on the weighing

instrument as reference weight

– Enter reference weight using a bar

code scanner

– Enter tare weight using a bar code

scanner

– Toggle the display between percentage

and weight by pressing w

– Show percentage as loss or residue – Display up to 3 decimal places – Info mode for display of reference

weight by pressing w (> 2 sec)

To determine the weight of a sample

relative to a reference weight, you

must enter the reference weight in the

weighing instrument. There are 2 ways

to do this with the Combics:

– By placing the amount of reference

material on the weighing instrument

specified by the reference percentage

and pressing O to calculate the

average and store the value.

The reference percentage is shown

in the numeric display, and can be

changed by pressing r.

How the reference weight is calculated

depends on the menu setting for

resolution (3.9). Either the value is

rounded off in accordance with the

display resolution, or the display

resolution is increased 10-fold

(+1 decimal place) or 100-fold

(+2 decimal places), or maximum

internal resolution is applied.

– By entering the reference weight (i.e.,

the weight of 100%) using a bar code

scanner (menu setting: “Setup> Bar

code > Store value as reference (ref)").

In this case, the value is stored as

a reference automatically, without

pressing the O key.

This value remains active in the

reference memory until you delete it

by pressing c, overwrite it or until

you select a different application.

It also remains stored after you switch

off the Combics.

Storage Parameter

The reference weight is saved when the weighing instrument 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 weighing instrument is at stability. This setting is also applied when you zero the weighing instrument. Under menu item 3.11 you can determine whether the value is saved “At stability" (normal tolerance range) or “At increased stability" (narrower tolerance range). If you select “At increased stability," the reference weight stored will be more accurate and the results more reproducible, but the response time of the weighing instrument might be longer.

Minimum Load for Initialization

The minimum load for initialization is configured under menu item 3.6. If the load exceeds this limit, the weighing instrument can be initialized. If the load 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 weighing instrument is not

initialized – The preset reference percentage is

stored

Weighing in Percent with Two Weighing Instruments

You can use two weighing instruments simultaneously with the Weighing in Percent application. When using two instruments, you can choose from the following operating modes:

– Weighing in Percent with two equiva-

lent weighing instruments

– Weighing in Percent with one reference

weighing instrument and one weighing platform

Weighing in Percent with Two Equivalent Weighing Instruments Use this mode when samples of widely varying weight are measured at one workstation. Measure the lighterweight pieces on one weighing instrument and the heavier pieces on another. When you press n to toggle from one weighing instrument to the other, the application is re-initialized. You can define which of the two weighing instruments is active in the display when the Combics is switched on (menu item 8.11). This is the first weighing instrument active when you switch on the Combics, regardless of the setting for automatic initialization of the Weighing in Percent application.

Weighing in Percent with One Reference Weighing Instrument and One Weighing Platform In this mode, a high resolution weighing instrument with a relatively low maximum capacity is used as a reference weighing instrument. The measuring platform has a high capacity, but a relatively low resolution. This allows you to both determine the reference value with high resolution; i.e., very precisely, and to measure large samples, without requiring an expensive high-resolution, high-capacity weighing platform. Specify which weighing instrument is the reference instrument under menu item 3.13. The system toggles automatically to the reference instrument for initialization (Ref is shown in the main display). Following initialization, the system toggles to the measuring platform.

Display

With the Weighing in Percent application, the result can be displayed as a remainder or loss. This is configured in Setup under menu item 3.15.

Equations: Residue= Current weight/

100% weight* 100

Loss= (Current weight –

100% weight) / 100% weight * 100

Example:

Place empty container on the weighing instrument

Averaging (Animal Weighing) V

With the Averaging application, you can use your weighing instrument for calculating weights as the average of a number of individual weighing operations. These individual operations are also known as “subweighing operations." This function is used to determine weights under unstable ambient conditions or for weighing unstable samples (such as live animals).

Features:

– Averaging started manually or

automatically

– Press the r key to select the desired

number of subweighing operations

– Toggle the display between last result

and current weight by pressing w

A number of subweighing operations are required to form the basis for calculation of an average weight. These are performed consecutively as soon as the weight of one sample differs from that of the previous sample by less than the preset deviation.

The value for this deviation is entered in the Application settings (3.19) as a percentage. This value and the minimum load must be reached to start the averaging routine.

Whether averaging starts automatically or manually is defined under menu item 3.18.

There are four modes for calculating average weights:

– Manual start with preset number

of subweighing operations To use this mode, place the sample or animal on the weighing instrument and press O.

– Manual start with the number of sub-

weighing operations entered manually To use this mode, place the sample/ animal on the weighing instrument, press r to enter the number of subweighing operations (10, 20, 30, 40) and then press O.

– Automatic start with preset number

of subweighing operations The subweighing operations begin when the weight of the sample/animal on the weighing instrument exceeds the minimum load.

– Automatic start with the number

of subweighing operations entered manually To use this mode, press r and enter the number of subweighing operations before placing the sample or animal on the weighing instrument. The subweighing operations begin when the weight of the sample/animal on the weighing instrument exceeds the minimum load.

If the “automatic tare" function is configured, the weight of the first load is stored as the tare value, and averaging begins only when the second load is placed on the weighing instrument (provided this weight exceeds the preset minimum load).

Minimum Load for Automatic Start

The minimum load for automatic start is configured under menu item 3.6. If the load exceeds this limit, the averaging routine can begin.

Display

A calculated average value is shown continuously on the main display. The symbol ! is displayed. Press w to toggle the display between this result and the current weight value.

If the menu setting “Display is static until unload threshold reached" (3.21.1) is active, the program returns to the weight display automatically when the weighing instrument is unloaded; i.e., when the load is less than half the minimum load. The result of the most recent averaging operation is not stored. If the menu setting “Display is static until c is pressed" (3.21.2) is active, the average weight remains on the weight display after the weighing instrument is unloaded, until the c key is pressed or until a new measurement series is started, whether manually or automatically.

Net-Total Formulation with Two Weighing Instruments

This mode is used for weighing large and small components at the same time. In this mode, you can toggle from the small-component instrument to the large-component instrument during measurement. Once you toggle to the large-component instrument, the ( and ) keys are available until a component is value is saved. For example, you can tare a partiallyfilled container taken from the smallcomponent instrument on the large component instrument. The value in component memory on the small-component instrument is transferred to the large-component instrument and the weight unit is converted, if necessary. The Component and Additive display modes are both available on the large-component instrument. The value read by the active instrument is saved in component memory. The displayed result is accurately calculated in the active weight unit, for example: 1243 g (from an instrument with 1 interval)

+ 1.40 kg

(from an instrument with 5 intervals)

= 2.643 kg (calculated result)

When you press c to stop a measure- ment series, the tare memories for both weighing instruments are cleared, unless the large-component instrument is in SBI mode, in which case the instrument is only tared.

Totalizing Σ

With the Totalizing application, you can add weight values to the totalizing memory. The number of values added to the memory is also stored (“transaction counter").

Features:

– Weigh in up to 199 items – Current transaction number displayed

in the text line (indicating the items already added)

– Save weight values manually or

automatically

– Accurate calculation of total of weight

values from two weighing instruments

– Unfinished totalization stored in

battery-backed memory

– Toggle the display between current

weight and total value by pressing w: – Totalizing mode: shows the value in

totalizing memory plus the current weight; for filling to a defined total

– Automatic printout of component or

total weight when weight is saved – Automatic taring of container weight – Minimum load for automatic tare – Minimum load for storing values – Press and hold w to display the value

in totalizing memory (net, gross) in

the Info mode, accurately calculated in

the active weight unit.

The Combics has a totalizing memory for adding individual net and gross values. There are two ways to store weight values in the totalizing memory:

- Manually, by pressing the O key.

The value is added to the value already stored, and the transaction counter value increases by one. When a value is added manually, the program does not check whether the weighing instrument has been unloaded since the last time the O key was pressed.

– Automatically, when the weighing

instrument has stabilized and the minimum load is exceeded (menu item

3.16.2). The weighing instrument is considered to be unloaded when the load is less than 50% of the minimum load (menu item 3.6.

The numeric display shows the transaction counter.

Press the c key to clear the totalizing memory. A printout is generated automatically.

With the weighing instruments connected, you can add values from both instruments to the totalizing memory. The displayed result is accurately calculated in the active weight unit. Example: 1.243 kg (measured on a weighing instrument using 1 scale interval) added to 1.40 kg (measured on a weighing instrument using 5 scale intervals) is displayed as 2.643 kg.

Operating the Combics 2

Minimum Load for Automatic Storage/Transfer of Values

The minimum load for automatic storage or transfer of weight values is configured under menu item 3.6. Once the load on the weighing instrument exceeds the specified minimum, the measured value is stored or transferred automatically, if the operating menu is configured for automatic storage (menu item 3.16.2).

Display

Press w to toggle the display between the weight currently on the weighing instrument and the current weight value plus the value in totalizing memory.

Press and hold w (> 2 sec) to toggle to the Info mode. In the “Info" mode, the total of gross weight values is shown first. Press w again to show the net value. Press the w key again to show the transaction counter in the main display. Press w one more time to exit the Info mode. To exit the “Info" mode earlier, press and hold w (> 2 sec).

Printout

Under menu item 3.17 you can configure whether a printout is generated manually, by pressing p (3.17.3), or automatically when a weight value is stored in the totalizing memory (3.17.2 or 3.17.3).

When you generate a printout manually by pressing p, the transaction counter value is not printed.

For automatic printouts, you can define whether a printout is generated after each individual transaction (3.17.2) or includes all totalized components (3.17.3).

Each printout starts with the header lines and the date and time, followed by a dotted line, before printing the gross, tare, net and transaction counter values.

The printout of components includes the header lines and date and time only on the first printout. Subsequent printouts include only the gross, tare, net and transaction counter values (and serial number, if configured).

The individual and component printouts are configured under menu items 7.7 and 7.8.

The total data record is printed when you clear the totalizing memory (by pressing the c key). The total data record includes data from the gross totalizing memory (*G), the net totalizing memory (* N), the total trans- action count (n) and a dotted line. The fields selected under menu items

7.9. and 7.10. are printed every time the c key is pressed, regardless of whether individual or component printing is configured.

Connecting a Weighing Instrument to WP1

Instructions for connecting an analog Sartorius platform model CAPP, CAPS, IU or IF, or a commercially available strain-gauge load cell as WP1.

! The load cell should be connected only by a trained and authorized Sartorius technician. Any

installation work that does not conform to the instructions in this manual will result in forfeiture of all claims under the manufacturer's warranty.

! Disconnect the equipment from power (unplug from the wall socket) before beginning any

installation work.

§ Set up the weighing platform (see the operating instructions for the weighing platform)

§ Lay the cable for connecting the weighing platform to the indicator

§ Open the Combics indicator:

remove the four cap nuts from the front panel and remove the panel.

§ Connecting the wires inside the indicator:

! An IP67-protected cable gland is installed on the indicator at the factory.

Please use extreme caution when performing any work on the equipment that affects this

cable gland. Use a torque wrench and tighten the cable gland to 5 Nm. – Expose approx. 14 cm (5.5 in) of the cable end for installation – Remove all but approx. 2 cm (< 1 in) of the shielding and fold it back over the casing – Strip the casing from approximately 5 mm (1/2 in) of the wires and attach ferrules to the

wire ends.

– Slide the cable gland over the cable until the clamps (2) are in contact with the shield (1)

– Tighten the nut (3) until the seal (4) between the nut and the cable forms a slight ridge

between nut and cable. – Make sure the shield is in contact with the clamps.

Service

§ Connecting the cable: – Guide the wires through the ferrite ring, wrap them around the ring once and guide them

through the ferrite ring again

– Attach the wires securely to the screw terminals

Wiring assignments: No. Signal name Meaning 1 BR_POS Bridge supply voltage (+) 2 SENSE_POS Sense (+) for the bridge supply voltage 3 OUT_POS Measuring voltage, positive 4 OUT_NEG Measuring voltage, negative 5 SENSE_NEG Sense (-) for bridge supply voltage 6 BR_NEG Bridge supply voltage (-)

! Please refer to the service specifications or operating instructions for the load cell

or weighing platform in question for details on the assignment of wire colors to signals. Iso-

late unused wires in accordance with industry standards

! If a load receptor that uses 4-conductor technology is connected

(i.e., the cable from the load cell has only four wires), add wire straps to connect wires 1 and 2 (BR_POS and SENSE_POS) to wires 5 and 6 (SENSE_NEG and BR_NEG).

§ Close the Combics indicator:

Position the front panel on the indicator and attach it with the 4 cap nuts

Installing the Verification Adapter for Use in Legal Metrology

(on verifiable models only)

– If a verifiable weighing platform has been connected, the “Verification Adapter"

must be attached to the indicator on conclusion of platform installation. This prevents unauthorized removal of the front panel.

§ Remove one of the cap nuts that attaches the front panel

§ Place the verification adapter on the screw and attach it with the slotted screw

§ Affix the control seal over the adapter and the screw

Service Menu

Purpose

The “Service" menu contains additional configuration options in the operating menu (setup) that are only available when the “Service" mode is active. The service menu must be activated to perform the main calibration/adjustment operations affecting the indicator and the connected weighing instrument.

When the service mode is active, an “S" is shown in the upper right-hand corner of the display. The service mode is deactivated when the indicator is restarted (switched off and then on again).

The following advanced functions are available in the service mode:

The following menu items are appended to the “Date" (DATE) and “Password" (CODE) menu items:

– Date of service S-DATE

(input of the next scheduled service date)

– Memory number MEM-NO

(input of transaction no. for external

Alibi memory) – Model designation model – Indicator serial number SER-NO

(input of the device serial no.) – The following menu items are appended

to the numeric menus for WP1 (WP1)

Configuring the Analog/ Digital Converter (ADC)

Purpose

Adapt the parameters of the analog/ digital converter to the connected load cell or weighing instrument. Once these parameters have been configured, the A/D converter in conjunction with the load cell(s) is defined as a weighing instrument.

Note on Settings

– The A/D converter can be configured

only in the service mode and only with the menu access switch open. Make sure you close the menu access switch following A/D converter configuration; otherwise, the “overload" (H) and “underload" (L) error codes are not shown.

– Configure the A/D converter in the

Setup menu (in service mode) for the

first weighing instrument under “WP-1"

and for the second weighing instrument

under “Com1, WP-2" or “UniCOM,

WP-2." Settings are configured in the

corresponding numeric menu under

menu item 11. – Before configuring the A/D converter,

you must define whether the weighing

instrument is to be used in the “stan-

dard" mode or in the “trade" mode

(verified for use in trade/legal metro-

logy), under menu item 9.1. – Enter the maximum capacity (max.

cap.) in a suitable weight unit, without

decimal places (the rounding function

will cut off any decimal places).

! If you return to the highest level of the

numeric menu without saving changes (menu item 11.10), all changes made up to that point are lost.

– The menu-reset function (“Restore

Factory Settings") does not affect settings for A/D converter configuration.

! Note:

Once the A/D converter configuration has been locked (menu access switch closed), 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: read weight value, tare, calibrate/adjust, read tare value, save/delete tare input

Descriptions of the Individual Menu Items for A/D Converter Configuration

Standard/Trade Configuration (Menu Items 9.1.3 / 9.1.4)

Before configuring the A/D converter, you must define whether the weighing instrument is to be used in the “standard" mode or in the “trade" mode (verified for use in trade/ legal metro-

logy). – Standard configuration: 9.1.3 – Trade configuration: 9.1.4

Accuracy Class (Menu Item 11.1)

Shown only for “trade" configuration.

Only menu item 11.1.4 (Accuracy class

l/m) can be selected here. If the

menu item is not marked with a circle (o)

indicating it is already active, press )

repeatedly until this menu item

is activated.

Select Configuration Unit

(Menu Item 11.2)

The weight unit to be used for

configuring the A/D converter must be

selected here.

Selecting the Weighing Range

(Menu Item 11.3)

This setting defines whether menu items

11.5, 11.6 and 11.7 for further confi-

guration steps are shown or hidden. – Single-range weighing instrument

(11.3.1)

The entire weighing range is divided into

scale intervals on the basis of the lowest

interval d and the maximum load.

Readability is equal to scale interval d. – Multiple-range weighing instrument

(11.3.2)

A multiple-range weighing instrument

has two or three weighing ranges. When

the maximum capacity of a lower range

is exceeded, the weighing instrument

switches to a higher range (lower reso-

lution) and remains in that range. The

weighing instrument can be returned

to the lower weighing range (higher

resolution) only by pressing the (

key and then unloading the weighing

instrument. – Multi-interval weighing instrument

(11.3.3)

By activating the “Multi-interval weigh-

ing instrument" function you can divide

the weighing capacity into as many 3

weighing ranges, each with a different

readability. The weighing instrument

switches from one range to the next auto

matically, in accordance with the range limits specified. Once the weighing instrument has been tared, the highest possible resolution is available even if the weighing instrument is loaded.

Scale Interval d

Scale interval d indicates the resolution of the weighing instrument. The scale interval d can be entered only in increments of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, etc. This menu item is not shown when the “trade" configuration is active. On verifiable or verified weighing instruments (class l and m) scale interval d is equal to 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 d can be entered only in increments of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, etc. This menu item is not shown when the “standard" configuration is active.

Maximum Capacity (Max. Cap.)

The maximum capacity is the maximum load that may be placed on the weighing instrument. If a heavier load is placed on the instrument, the display shows H. The scale intervals are calculated from the maximum capacity and the scale interval d (e.g., a maximum capacity of 15,000 kg with a lowest scale interval d of 0.005 yields 3000 scale intervals). In legal metrology, the number of intervals must not exceed 3000 e; for multi-interval weighing instruments, the limit is 3000 e per range. In “standard" operation, as opposed to legal metrology, you can define a “SuperRange" weighing instrument with more than 3000 intervals. These parameters, however, may be influenced by physical restrictions.

Minimum Capacity (Min. Cap.)

This menu item is not shown when the “standard" configuration is active. The minimum capacity of the connected weighing instrument is entered here. The minimum capacity for weighing instruments of class l is 20 e; for class m instruments, it is 10 e. Note: The function of the minimum capacity 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 capacity are not allowed.

Range 1, Range 2, Range 3

Here you can enter the limits for each of the weighing ranges. When a limit is exceeded, the accuracy changes. The following applies when entering range limits: Range 1 < range 2 < range 3 < maximum capacity Thus the weighing capacity can be divided into 4 ranges. The display resolution changes in intervals of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 etc. The lowest resolution is the lowest scale interval d. Ranges you do not require should be set to 0.

Available Weight Units (Menu Item 11.7)

The weight units available for use in the normal weighing mode are selected here. Available units are indicated by a circle (o) on the display (more than one can be selected).

Calibration/Adjustment Unit (Menu Item 11.8)

The weight unit used for calibration/ adjustment of the weighing instrument is selected here. The unit selected here is used for calibration/adjustment even if a different unit is selected for the normal weighing mode.

Save Configuration Parameters (Menu Item 11.10)

Save the A/D converter configuration by selecting menu item 11.10.1.

Checking and Configuring the Equipment for Use in Legal Metrology

A metrological ID tag is included with the Combics indicator. Following A/D converter configuration, write the metrological data on this tag for all weighing ranges. Affix this tag below the display and cover it with the waterproof acetate overlay.

Open menu item 1.7 to make sure only the permitted weight units are accessible.

Service

Configuring the A/D Converter (ADC)

Open the menu access switch.

§ Remove the cap that covers the menu access switch on the left-hand side of the back

of the indicator housing.

§ Move the switch to the right (towards the interface connectors; “open" position)

Activate the service mode (see page 77)

Select the weighing instrument to be configured (in this example, WP-1)

Under menu item 9.1, select “standard" (9.1.3) or “trade" (9.1.4) configuration

Open menu item 11 to configure the A/D converter

Following configuration, select menu item 11.10.1 to save your settings. The Combics is automatically re-started.

The A/D converter, in conjunction with the weighing instrument, can now be used like any standard weighing instrument.

Close the menu access switch

Following A/D converter configuration, the weighing instrument must be calibrated/ adjusted (perform calibration/adjustment and linearization; see page 20, “Calibration and Adjustment," and page 89, “Calibration/Adjustment without Weights" for details)

Entering Geographical Data

Purpose

To perform an external adjustment of the weighing instrument at a place of adjustment that is not the same as the place of installation (e.g., at the factory or on the dealer's premises). If the weighing instrument is adjusted at the place of installation, it is not necessary to enter the geographical data.

The sensitivity of a weighing instrument can change depending on its place of installation, because it is affected by local gravity – or, more precisely, by the acceleration of gravity. When the geographical data is stored, the place of installation can be changed following external adjustment.

Calibration/adjustment of a weighing instrument is valid at the place of installation and within a specific tolerance range around that location. With 3000 e, for example, the tolerance zone is ±100 km of the geographical latitude, and ±200 m of the elevation above sea level.

The following exception applies in Germany (“Zone D"): If the latitude and altitude are set to

– 51.00° North and – 513 meters above sea level,

the weighing instrument can be used anywhere in Germany. The acceleration of gravity applicable for “Germany (Zone D)" is 9.810 m/s

. The geographical data stored in the output device at the factory applies to Germany (“Zone D"). This setting is recommended for calibrating/adjusting weighing instruments to be used within Germany. Entering more precise geographical data will increase the weighing instrument's precision, but will also limit the tolerance zone.

Note on Settings

– Geographical data can be entered

only in the service mode and only with the menu access switch open.

– Enter geographical data in the Setup

menu (in service mode) for the first weighing instrument under “WP-1" and for the second weighing instrument under “Com1, WP-2" or "UniCOM, WP-2." Settings are configured in the corresponding numeric menu under menu item 1.20.

– Enter either the geographical latitude

in degrees (menu item 1.20.1) together with the altitude above sea level (menu item 1.20.2), or enter the acceleration of gravity (menu item 1.20.3). If the acceleration of gravity has been entered, then this value takes precedence over the latitude and altitude; in this case, “99999.99" and “9999999" are displayed for latitude and altitude, respectively. If only altitude and latitude are entered, “0000000" is shown for the acceleration of gravity.

! If you return to the highest level of the

numeric menu without saving changes (menu item 1.20.4), all changes made up to that point are lost.

Procedure

– Open the menu access switch. If the

indicator is part of a verified weighing system, the verification seal must be broken to move the switch. Afterwards, the weighing instrument must be

re-verified. – Activate the service mode – Select the weighing instrument – Enter geographical data for the place of

adjustment under menu items 1.20.1

through 1.20.3 and select menu item

1.20.4 to save. This data can be

obtained from the relevant land registry

or Ordnance Survey. – Perform external calibration/adjustment

(see page 20)

– Following calibration/adjustment,

enter the geographical data for the place of installation under menu items

1.20.1 through 1.20.3 and select menu

item 1.20.4 to save. – Close the menu access switch – The weighing instrument can now be

used at the place of installation, or

anywhere within the tolerance zone.

Note:

To display geographical data during the

calibration/adjustment procedure, select

menu item 8.12.2 in the Setup menu,

under Utilit (factory setting: 8.12.1,

geographical data not displayed).

When the display of geographical data

is active, the calibration procedure is as

follows:

When the calibration procedure is started

(CAL), the display shows ALTITUD for

2 seconds (if latitude and altitude are

used), followed by the configured value

(indicating meters above sea level).

Press ) to confirm the data, or (

to cancel. Next, the display shows

LATITUD for 2 seconds, followed by the

value set for the geographical latitude

(in degrees). Again, press ) to con-

firm the data or ( to cancel. Next,

the prompt to place the adjustment

weight appears. If the acceleration of

gravity was entered rather than altitude

and latitude, the word “GRAVITY"

appears for 2 seconds, followed by the

value for the acceleration of gravity.

Press ) to confirm the data, or (

Sartorius technician. Any installation work that does not conform to the instructions in this manual will result in forfeiture of all claims under the manufacturer's warranty.

! Disconnect the equipment from power (unplug from the wall socket) before beginning

any installation work.

§ Open the Combics indicator:

remove the four cap nuts from the front panel and remove the panel.

§ Prepare the cable: – Expose approx. 10 cm (4 in) of the cable end for installation – Remove all but approx. 1 cm (1 in) of the shielding and fold it back over the casing – Strip the casing from approximately 1 cm (1 in) of the wires and attach ferrules

to the wire ends.

§ Attach the cable gland:

! Please use extreme caution when performing any work on the equipment that affects

this cable gland. Use a torque wrench and tighten the cable gland to 5 Nm. – Remove the protective cap from the bore hole on the indicator. – Guide the enclosed cable gland through the bore hole and secure it inside the housing

with the nut (1).

– Slide the cable gland over the cable until the clamps (3) are in contact with the shield (2).

Tighten the nut (4) until the sealing clamp (5) forms a slight ridge between nut and cable. – Make sure the shield is in contact with the clamps.

§ Connect the wires securely in accordance with the terminal assignments.

§ After you close the housing again, use a pressure gauge to check the integrity of the

IP67-protection. For details, contact the Sartorius Service Center.

Synchronization

Data communication between the indicator and a computer takes the form of messages (“telegrams") made up of ASCII code. For error-free data communication, the settings for baud rate, parity, handshake mode and character format must be the same at both ends.

You can configure the interface settings in the Setup menu so that they match those of the computer. You can also define parameters in the indicator to make data output dependent on various conditions. The conditions that can be configured are listed in the descriptions of the application programs.

If you do not connect a peripheral device to the indicator's interface port, this will not generate an error message.

Handshake

The weighing instrument interface (Sartorius Balance Interface = SBI) has transmit and receive buffers. You can define the handshake parameter in the indicator's Setup menu:

– Hardware handshake (CTS/DTR) – Software handshake (XON, XOFF)

Hardware Handshake

Hardware handshake with a 4-wire interface: 1 more character can be transmitted after CTS (clear-to-send).

Software Handshake

The software handshake is controlled via XON and XOFF. When a device switched on, XON must be transmitted to enable a connected device to communicate.

When the software handshake is configured in the Setup menu, the hardware handshake becomes active after the software handshake.

The data transmission sequence is as follows:

Scale ––– byte –––> Computer (trans- ––– byte –––> (receiving mitting ––– byte –––> device) device) ––– byte –––>

<–– XOFF ––– ––– byte –––> ––– byte –––>

...

(Pause)

... <–– XON ––– ––– byte –––> ––– byte –––> ––– byte –––> ––– byte –––>

Transmitting Device Once XOFF has been received, it prevents further transmission of characters. When XON is received, it re-enables the transmitting device to send data.

Receiving Device To prevent too many control commands from being received at one time, XON is not transmitted until the buffer is almost empty.

Configuring the Data Interface as a COM Port (datProt)

Configure the interface as a COM port in the Setup menu as a COM1 or UniCOM port under the “Data Protocol" (datprot) menu item.

SBI Communication

This is a simple ASCII interface. Data output is configured under menu items 6.1 and 6.3:

– Manual output of displayed value

with or without stability (menu items

6.1.1 and 6.1.2)

– Automatic output of displayed value

with or without stability (menu items

6.1.4 and 6.1.5) at intervals defined in display updates. The number of display updates comprising an output interval is configured under menu item 6.3.

– Output of a printout as configured in

the Setup program (menu item 6.1.7). Output is linked to the “Data Protocol" menu item (datProt) (see page 100, “Configuring Printouts").

If you do not activate and configure a user-definable data record, the printout simply contains the current value displayed on the indicator (weight with unit, calculated value, alphanumeric display).

SMA Communication

Standardized communications protocol of the Scale Manufacturers Association

MP8 Binary Purpose

With the MP8 interface you can connect MP8-generation peripheral devices with separate power supplies to the Combics indicator.

Features

– The weighing instrument is used only

for determining weight values.

– The data interface transmits only

in MP8 binary protocol

– The application program for MP8

can be selected under menu item 3

– The program index 2 for MP8

can be selected under menu item 4.

– “MP8 interface emulation" is not

permitted in legal metrology.

Data Input Format

You can connect a computer to your indicator to send commands controlling weighing instrument functions and applications via the interface port. All commands use the same format (data input format) starting with the ESC character (ASCII 27) and ending with a carriage return (CR; ASCII 13) and a line feed (LF; ASCII 10). The total length of a command is anywhere from 4 characters (1 command character between the start and end described above) to 7 characters (4 command characters).

The table below shows the available command characters; each command must be flanked by the start and end characters as described above. Example: The command character for output is “P" (“output to Port"). The string "ESC P CR LF" triggers this command.

Data Interfaces

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 Combics. Configure the COM1 and UniCOM interfaces as printer ports under the “Printer" menu item.

There are several actions that generate the command for outputting 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 _". For details, see “Data Input Format" in this chapter.

– 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 application-specific data.

The Pbsymbols are displayed when data is being output to the printer port.

Configuring Printouts

Configure printouts in the Setup menu is under the “Printouts" menu item

(prtprot). The printout 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 Setup menu. Combics 2 only: For the “Totalizing" and “Net-Total" applications, you can also configure summarized printouts (results) independent of individual component value printouts.

Block 1: Headers

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

7.4.1 and 7.4.2. Blank header lines are not printed. Example: format of Block 1:

ACE HARDWARE

GOETTINGEN

In this example, the company name is centered on the printout. This was achieved by entering blank spaces at the beginning of each line.

Block 2: Date/Time

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

21.01.2001 16:02

To obtain a standardized time stamp (e.g., for documentation within a completely automated system), you can suppress the printout of the time stamp in the “Date / time" information block. This function is controlled under menu code 7 -12, “Time not printed". The factory setting is “Off" (i.e., the time is included on the printout). If you select "On" for this menu item, the time stamp can be inserted by a higherlevel controller or central computer to maintain consistent time stamping. This setting is especially important for communication with a PC.

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 pc s wRef + 0.035 kg

Block 4: Serial Number

Example: format of Block 4:

Ser.no. 1234567890

Block 5: Results

Which data is included in this block depends on the active application. Normally it includes gross, net and tare weights, followed by a blank line. The result is printed after this data; for example, the piece count. The block is terminated with a blank line. Example: format of Block 3 (Counting application)

G# + 1.402 kg T + 0.200 kg N + 1.202 kg

Qn t 3 4 p cs

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

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 sec). 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.

If you toggle to a different weighing instrument (Combics 2 only) while a GMP printout of several measured results is being generated, the GMP footer for the weighing instrument used up to that point is generated when you press n. The GMP header for the other weighing instrument is included on the next printout generated.

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.

Three examples of GMP headers and one example of a footer are shown in the following. On Combics 1 models, the “date and time" line is not included.
