Weighing Platform, Leveling
The weighing platform must be exactly level to ensure reproducible weighing results every time. Therefore, the weighing platform must always be re-leveled after it has been moved to a different location.
t Remove the weighing pan.
t Loosen the lock nuts using a wrench (SW17).
t Use a SW5 Allen key to screw the leveling feet in/out.
Turning the leveling feet clockwise lifts the weighing platform, turning the leveling feet counterclockwise lowers the weighing platform.
Installation
t Align the weighing platform leveling feet so that air bubble is centered within
the circle of the level indicator.
t Check to ensure that all four leveling feet rest securely on the work surface.
y Each of the leveling feet must support an equal load.
t Re-fasten the lock nuts after leveling:
Small platforms (1 measuring cell) counter to the platform frame, large platforms (4 measuring cells) counter to the platform foot.
t Place the weighing pan on the scale.
Operating Limits
You should not exceed the highest load for weighing platforms.
The highest capacity for the weighing platform is as follows depending on the load used (center, side, one-sided corner load):

Operating Instructions Combics Indicators 11
Shock Resistance
The weighing platform has a robust design; however, falling weighing samples, side impacts and shocks should be avoided. The weighing platform can withstand loads specifi ed in the DIN standard IEC68 Part 2-27.
Notes on Planning Superstructures
3
Superstructures must be completely attached before the weighing platform is
connected to the power.
The weighing platform is designed for system integration. Scale drawings are the basis for the selection of the required superstructures. The fi xing of model CAH*IG* weighing platforms should be carried out using the YAS04IS fastening kit. Moving or rotating parts on the weighing pan must be designed so that the weighing results are not infl uenced. Rotating parts should be counterbalanced, for example. The weighing pan must be free on all sides so that there is no connection between the weighing platform and fi xed parts due to falling parts or dirt. Cables and hoses between the weighing platform and other devices may not exert any forces on the weighing platform. These cables may not touch the weighing pan. When setting up systems in hazardous areas (Zone 2 or 22), any relevant specifi cations should be observed, e. g.: EN60079-14. The design should ensure that moving parts do not cause electrostatic discharges (e. g. roller conveyors).
Preload Range (Zero Set Range)
The weight of the superstructures that are attached to the weighing platform is designated as a “preload.” The preload is electronically compensated for in the weighing platform so that the full weighing range remains available and thus zeroing and/or calibration/adjustment (with external weights) is possible. Greater preloads reduce the weighing capacity. You may not fall below the following weighing range values: – For CAH*E-16ED... and CAH*E-32ED... a min. 20 kg weighing range must be
maintained
– For CAH*E-64ED... and CAH*G-64FE... a min. 35 kg weighing range must be
maintained
– For CAH*G-150IG-H and CAH*G-300IG-H a min. 60 kg weighing range must be
maintained
The preload must always be set before verifi cation.
Acclimatizing the Device
Condensation can form on the surfaces of a cold device when it is brought into a substantially warmer area.
t Allow the device to acclimatize for about 2 hours at room temperature, leaving
it unplugged from AC power.
Installation

t Check the shielding and clamps. t Securely connect the wires of the connecting cable in accordance with the
terminal assignments.
t After you close the housing again, use a pressure gauge to check the integrity of
the IP69K protection. For details, contact the Sartorius Service Center.
Connecting Cables
t Insert all cable wires through the ferrite case, wind them around the ferrite case
and then reinsert back through the ferrite case.
t Screw the wires tightly into the clamps.
See the following pages for terminal pin allocation t 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.
t 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 (EXC+ und SENSE+), and 5 and 6 (SENSE- und EXC-) with a wire jumper.

Entering Geographical Data for Use in Legal Metrology
Purpose Entering geographical data allows the external adjustment of weighing equipment
at a place (e. g. at the manufacturer or vendor's place of business) that is not the same as the place of installation. If the weighing equipment is adjusted at the place of installation, it is not necessary to enter geographical data.
The sensitivity of weighing equipment changes depending on the place of installation as it is dependent on the on-site gravitational force – or, more precisely, on gravitational acceleration. Saving geographical data makes it possible to change the place of installation of the weighing equipment after external adjustment has been carried out.
The adjustment of weighing equipment is valid at the place of installation and within a specifi c tolerance zone. At 3000 e this zone extends ±100 km from the set geographical latitude and ±200 m from the set elevation above sea level.
Installation Location in Germany An exception to this is the setting for “Germany (Zone D):” If during external
adjustment of weighing equipment within Germany the geographical data – Geographical latitude: 51.00 degrees – 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
2
. On delivery the geographical data for “Germany (Zone D)” are entered in the output device. It is recommended to use the geographical data settings for “Germany (Zone D)” when adjusting and delivering the weighing equipment within Germany. Entering exact geographical data will lead to a higher level of accuracy but will also restrict the tolerance zone.
Setup Information – It is only possible to enter geographical data when the menu access switch is
open.
– When the Service mode is activated, you can enter geographical data in the
Setup menu for the fi rst weighing platform under WP-1 and COM1 / WP-2, UNICOM / WP-2 or COM-WP for the second weighing platform. The settings are
made in the corresponding Setup menu under menu item 1.20.
– You can enter either the “geographical latitude in degrees” (LATITUD menu
item 1.20.1) and “elevation in m above sea level” (ALTITUD menu item 1.20.2), or the value for gravitational acceleration (GRAVITYmenu item 1.20.3).
Gravitational acceleration takes precedence over the geographical latitude and
elevation of the location: If it has been entered, input fi elds 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.
3
If you return to the highest level of the Setup menu without saving the
configuration parameter beforehand (save menu item 1.20.4) any settings that have been made will be deleted.

Weighing
This application is always available during operation.
Features: – Zeroing by pressing (
– Storing the weight on the platform as a tare by pressing ) – Tare container weight automatically – Use a barcode scanner to enter tare weight (Combics 2) – Use a 10-key keypad to enter tare weight (Combics 2) – Delete tare values using the numeric entry 0 and ) / c and )
(Combics 2) – Toggle the display using k between: – Combics 1: Gross and net values – 1st and 2nd weight unit or – Combics 1: Normal and 10-fold higher resolution – Weighing with two weighing platforms (for Combics 2 only) – Individual numeric ID codes for weight values (Combics 2) – Print weight value: – GMP-compliant printout – Automatic printout – Automatic data output (see Data Interfaces chapter)
Automatic taring (APPLIC. menu item 3.7): When the menu item is active (3.7.2), the fi rst weight on the scale that exceeds the preset minimum load is stored in the tare memory at stability. The scale returns to the initial state when the load on the scale is less than 50% of the minimum load.
Minimum load for automatic taring and automatic printing (menu item 3.5): You can set the following for the minimum load: 1 digit (no minimum load) 2 digits 5 digits 10 digits 20 digits 50 digits 100 digits 200 digits 500 digits 1000 digits
The “digits” here refer to the scale intervals for the connected weighing platform. If the interval is 1 g and 1000 digits are required, the minimum load is 1000 g (1000 intervals).
If the weighing platform interval is 5 g and the same number of digits as above are required, the minimum load is 5000 g.
When the load exceeds the minimum load limit, the weighing platform is tared automatically and/or a report printout is generated automatically; however, this requires the corresponding menu items are active for automatic taring (menu item
3.7.2) and for automatic printing (menu 7.15.2).
Operation
Automatic printing (PROTOC menu item 7.15): When the menu item (7.15.2) is active, the fi rst weight value that exceeds the minimum load is printed. If the menu item is also activated for automatic taring, it is only tared when the minimum load is exceeded. In this case, an automatic printout would only be generated when the second weight value exceeds the minimum load.
Main scale: first platform displayed on start-up (Combics 2 only) You can select the weighing platform to be displayed fi rst when Combics is turned on in the Setup menu under “UTILIT.” (menu item 8.11.).
Entering a tare weight using a barcode scanner (Combics 2 only) The tare weight of the container can be entered via a barcode scanner.

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 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.
Configuration for Use in Legal Metrology
Confi guration of the weighing instrument for use in legal metrology is set by a switch. The switch is located on the back of the weighing platform and covered by a protective cap.
Using a verifi ed scale in legal metrology in the EU: The Type-Approval Certifi cate for verifi ed scales is only valid for non-automatic weighing instruments. For automatic operation with or without additional, integrated equipment, please follow the applicable national regulations for the installation location.
Externally Connected IS Scales: Before use in legal metrology, the scale should be calibrated via the internal
calibration equipment at the installation location: see the “Internal Calibration” section in this chapter.

SQmin Function
Purpose To display the allowable minimum sample quantity “SQmin” (sample quantity
minimum) in accordance with the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP). According to USP guidelines, the uncertainty of measurement may not exceed 0.1% of the sample quantity when substances are weighed with the highest degree of accuracy for volume determination. This additional function ensures that weighing results lie within defi ned tolerance limits corresponding to the requirements of your quality assurance system.
System Requirements The scale must be set up by a service technician to be able to use the SQmin
function. The technician will determine the permitted minimum sample quantity and load this to your scale using the guidelines of your QA system. He will document this setting via a “Weighing module test as per USP” certifi cate in which the measurements and min. sample quantity are logged. The SQmin function ensures that the weighing results correspond to USP guidelines. These SQmin settings cannot be changed by the user.
Features – Displaying the minimum sample quality: The value is displayed in the text line
for 4 seconds after pressing the k key.
– If the minimum sample quantity has not been reached: The k symbol is
displayed and weight values are marked with a “!” in the printout.

weighing platform and calculate the average piece weight by pressing the O key. or
– Place any number of parts on the connected weighing platform, enter the
quantity using the keypad and select and calculate by pressing the r key.
How the reference weight is calculated depends on the application setting for resolution. The value is either rounded off in accordance with the display resolution, or saved with 10-fold or 100-fold resolution.
Operation
Entering the reference piece weight
The reference piece weight (i.e., the weight of one piece) can be entered using the
keypad and save with the O key.
Reading the reference piece weight
The reference piece weight can be read using a barcode scanner.
h
The entered value remains active until deleted by pressing the c key or until
overwritten by a new value. It remains saved after the scale is switched off.

Minimum Load for Initialization You can set the minimum load here, i.e. the load that must be placed on the
weighing platform in order to carry out the application. If the load on the platform
is too light, the following will occur:
– Error code Inf 29 appears,
– The weighing platform is not initialized,
– The preset reference sample quantity is saved.
Setting: Applic./Applic.1/Count./Min.init menu item 3.6.
The minimum load can be set in 10 steps from 1 to 1000 digits (see available
parameters). The “digits” here refer to the scale intervals for the connected weighing
platform. If the interval of the connected platform is 1 g, for example, and 1000 digits
are required, you must place at least 1000 g (= 1000 intervals = 1000 digits) on the
weighing platform for initialization.
Operation
Operating Instructions Combics Indicators 53
Resolution The resolution indicates the accuracy used to determine the reference weight.
The default setting is “display resolution.” The resolution is increased when “10­fold” or “100-fold” is selected. “10-fold” increases the resolution of the net value by one step (display resolution x 10), “100-fold” increases it two steps (display resolution x 100). Setting: Applic./Applic.1/Count./RESOLUT menu item 3.9.
Parameter for Saving Weight Values The weight on the platform is saved as a reference value as soon as the platform has
stabilized. “Stability” is defi ned as the point at which the fl uctuation of a measured value lies within a defi ned tolerance. The narrower the tolerance, the more stable the platform is at “stability”. The “increased stability” setting has a lower tolerance so that the average piece weight saves is more accurate and the results more reproducible; however, the measurement time can take longer. Setting: Applic./Applic.1/Count./SAVE WT. menu item 3.11.
Reference Sample Updating You can defi ne whether or not the reference sample weight is updated automatically
during weighing using this setting. The reference sample weight is updated automatically only when the following criteria are met:
1. “Automatic” must be set for reference sample updating in the menu.
2. The current piece count exceeds the original piece count by at least two.
3. The current piece count cannot be more than double the size of the original
piece count. This limitation does not apply to the fi rst update if the piece weight was entered via a barcode scanner or keypad.
4. The current piece count is less than 1000.
5. The internally calculated piece count (such as 17.24 pcs) differs by less than ± 0.3 pcs from the nearest whole number (in this example: 17).
6. The weighing platform is stable in accordance with the parameter defi ned for saving weights.
If automatic reference sample updating is selected in the menu and the piece count (pcs) is displayed, the Auto symbol is displayed below the bar graph. If the average piece weight has been updated since you began weighing, the text line shows the 0pt symbol. During an updating operation, 0pt and the updated piece count are displayed briefl y in the measured value line. The new reference sample weight and reference sample quantity are saved. Setting: Applic./Applic.1/Count./REF.UPDT menu item 3.12.
Counting with Two Weighing Platforms You can use two weighing platforms simultaneously with the Counting application.
When using two platforms, you can choose from the following operating modes: – Counting with two platforms of the same type – Counting with one reference platform and one weighing platform
Counting with two platforms of the same type
Use this mode to count different types of sample material with different weights. For example, count the lighter-weight pieces on one platform and the heavier pieces on another. You can defi ne one of the two scales as the reference scale. The reference scale is the fi rst scale active when you switch on the device, regardless of the setting for automatic initialization of the Counting application.
Counting with one reference platform and one weighing platform
In this operating mode, the reference platform is a high-resolution weighing platform with a relatively low maximum capacity. The other platform is used for weighing heavier samples, and has a high capacity with a relatively low resolution. This allows you to both determine the reference sample weight with high resolution; i.e., very precisely, and to count large amounts of parts, without requiring an expensive high-resolution, high-capacity weighing platform.
Operation
The system can be confi gured to switch automatically to the reference platform for initialization (the measured value line shows Ref). Following initialization, you can switch to the counting platform. Setting: Applic./Applic.1/Count./REF.WP menu item 3.13.

Reference weight
In order to calculate the length, surface or volume of a given sample, the average weight of a reference quantity of the sample must be known (in the example below, the reference is 1 meter of electrical cable). There are different ways to enter the reference weight:
Calculating the reference weight
– Place the reference quantity (defi ned by the calculation factor) on the connected
weighing platform and calculate the reference sample weight by pressing the O key.
or – Place any amount of the sample material on the connected weighing platform,
enter the calculation factor through the keypad, and press the r key to calculated reference sample weight.
Operation
Operating Instructions Combics Indicators 57
How the reference weight is calculated depends on the application setting for resolution. The resolution settings are either display resolution, display resolution 10-fold or display resolution 100-fold.
Entering the reference weight
The reference weight (e.g., the weight of one meter of electrical cable) can be entered using the keypad and saved by pressing the O key.
Reading the reference piece weight
The reference weight can be read using a barcode scanner.

Operation
Minimum Load for Initialization You can set the minimum load here, i.e. the load that must be placed on the
weighing platform in order to carry out the application. If the load on the platform is too light, the following will occur: – Error code Inf 29 appears, – The weighing platform is not initialized, – The preset reference sample quantity is saved.
Setting: Applic./Applic.1/neutr.m/Min.init menu item 3.6.
The minimum load can be set in 10 steps from 1 to 1000 digits (see available parameters). The “digits” here refer to the scale intervals for the connected weighing platform. If the interval of the connected platform is 1 g, for example, and 1000 digits are required, you must place at least 1000 g (= 1000 intervals =1000 digits) on the weighing platform for initialization.
Resolution The resolution indicates the accuracy used to determine the reference weight.
The default setting is “display resolution.” The resolution is increased when “10-fold” or “100-fold” is selected. “10-fold” increases the resolution of the net value by one step (display resolution x 10), “100-fold” increases it two steps (display resolution x 100). Setting: Applic./Applic.1/neutr.m/RESOLUT menu item 3.9.
Decimal Places In neutral measurement, not only whole numbers but also decimal numbers
(for example, 1.25 o electrical cabling) can be displayed. The number of decimal places displayed can range from none up to 3 places. Setting: Applic./Applic.1/neutr.m/DEC.PLCS menu item 3.10.
Parameter for Saving Weight Values The weight on the platform is saved as a reference value as soon as the platform has
stabilized. “Stability” is defi ned as the point at which the fl uctuation of a measured value lies within a defi ned tolerance. The narrower the tolerance, the more stable the platform is at “stability”. The “increased stability” setting has a lower tolerance so that the average piece weight saves is more accurate and the results more reproducible; however, the measurement time can take longer. Setting: Applic./Applic.1/neutr.m/SAVE WT. menu item 3.11.

Minimum Load for Initialization You can set the minimum load here, i.e. the load that must be placed on the
weighing platform in order to carry out the application. If the load on the platform is too light, the following will occur: – Error code Inf 29 appears, – The weighing platform is not initialized, – The preset reference sample quantity is saved.
Setting: Applic./Applic.1/ANIM.WG/Min.init menu item 3.6.
The minimum load can be set in 10 steps from 1 to 1000 digits (see available parameters). The “digits” here refer to the scale intervals for the connected weighing platform. If the interval of the connected platform is 1 g, for example, and 1000 digits are required, you must place at least 1000 g (= 1000 intervals =1000 digits) on the weighing platform for initialization.
Starting the Measurements The averaging routine does not begin until the fl uctuation in weight value remains
below a defi ned threshold over three consecutive measurements. The tolerance limit is defi ned as a percentage of the animal or object weight (for example, 0.1%, 0.2%, ..., 50%, 100%), confi gured in Setup under: Activity menu item 3.19. If the “Averaging” parameter is set to 2%, for example, and the animal or object weighs 10 kg, measurement does not begin until the fl uctuation in weight value remains below 200 g during three consecutive measurements.

Weighing in Percent with You can use two weighing platforms simultaneously with the Weighing in Percent Two Weighing Platforms application. When using two platforms, you can choose from the following
operating modes: – Weighing in percent with two platforms of the same type – Weighing in percent with one reference platform and one weighing platform
Weighing in percent with two platforms of the same type
Use this mode to measure different types of sample material with different weights. For example, measure the lighter-weight samples on one platform and the heavier samples on another. You can defi ne one of the two scales as the reference scale. The reference scale is the fi rst scale active when you switch on the device, regardless of the setting for automatic initialization of the Neutral Measurement application.
Weighing in percent with one reference platform and one weighing platform
In this operating mode, the reference platform is a high-resolution weighing platform with a relatively low maximum capacity. The other platform is used for weighing heavier samples, and has a high capacity with a relatively low resolution. This allows you to both determine the reference piece weight with high resolution; i.e., very precisely, and to measure large samples, without requiring an expensive high-resolution, high-capacity weighing platform. The system can be confi gured to switch automatically to the reference platform for initialization (the measured value line shows Ref). Following initialization, you can switch to the counting platform.

Target Checkweighing entails comparing the current weight value to a defi ned target. You
can enter the value for this target using the keypad, or by saving the weight value indicated. You can also defi ne upper and lower tolerance limits based on this target. You can do this by: – Entering absolute values using the keypad or placing the desired amount of
weight on the platform and saving the value or – by entering each value as a percentage deviation of the target weight or – by entering each value as an asymmetrical percentage deviation of the target
weight that is selected via the keypad or using the r key or – by entering a relative weight deviation from the target weight via the keypad.
The value remains valid until deleted by pressing the c key or until overwritten by a new value. It remains saved after the scale is switched off.

Limits To use the Classifi cation application, you need to enter the delimiters that separate
one class from another. Limits between the individual weigh classes are required for the classifi cation. The lower limit of Class 1 is defi ned by the preset minimum load. The other classes are confi gured by defi ning their upper limits. There are two ways to enter the delimiters for classes 1 through 3 (or 5): By saving the weight value indicated: Each upper limit value, with the exception of the highest class, 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 defi ned by entering a percentage of deviation from the upper limit of Class 1, using the keypad.
Operation
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 - 100 g Class 2: > 100 g – 115 g Class 3: > 115 g - maximum load When working with 5 classes, this yields the following weight classes: 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 load

The minimum load can be set in 10 steps from 1 to 1000 digits (see available parameters). The “digits” here refer to the scale intervals for the connected weighing platform. If the interval of the connected platform is 1 g, for example, and 1000 digits are required, you must place at least 1000 g (= 1000 intervals = 1000 digits) on the weighing platform for autotaring (only with the “Autotare first weight” option selected).
Net Total Formulation with This mode is used for weighing large and small components at the same time. Two Weighing Platforms This makes it possible to toggle from the small-component platform to the large-
component platform during measurement. Once you toggle to the large-component platform, the ( and ) keys are available until a component is value is saved. For example, you can tare a partially-fi lled container taken from the small- component platform on the large component platform.
The value in component memory on the small-component platform is transferred to the large-component platform and the weight unit is converted, if necessary. The Component and Additive display modes are both available on the large­component platform.
The value read by the active platform is saved in component memory. The displayed result is accurately calculated in the active weight unit.
When you press c to stop a measurement series the tare memories for both platforms are cleared, unless the large-component platform is an SBI instrument, in which case the platform is only tared.
Example: Three components of a formula should be weighed.
