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 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.

Conﬁ guring Weighing Platforms

Analog/Digital Converter (ADC)

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

weighing platform. After ADC conﬁ guration, the ADC in connection with the load sensor is deﬁ ned as a scale.

3

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

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

Setup Information – ADC conﬁ guration is only possible when the menu access switch is open.

Re-close the menu access switch after ADC conﬁ guration.

– Before ADC conﬁ guration, you must ﬁ rst set whether or not the weighing

platform will be used as a standard or veriﬁ able weighing platform.

– ADC conﬁ guration is carried out in the Service mode in the Setup menu under

“WP 1“ for the ﬁ rst weighing platform and “WP 2“ for the second.

– Entries made in ADC conﬁ guration will not be affected by a menu reset

(returning the setup parameters to their factory settings).

See also the overview in the “Setup Menu for A/D Converter Conﬁ guration“ section.

Setting Parameters for ADC Configuration

Standard or Verifiable Configurations In ADC conﬁ guration, you must ﬁ rst select whether the weighing platform should

be conﬁ gured as a standard or veriﬁ able (for use in legal metrology) weighing

platform. – Standard conﬁ guration “Standard“ – Veriﬁ able conﬁ guration “Veriﬁ able“

Select using the “Q“ or “q“ soft key. Press the “O“ soft key to conﬁ rm the setting

and open the Conﬁ guration menu. Accuracy Class This menu item is not shown when the Standard conﬁ guration is active. When

the Veriﬁ able conﬁ guration is active (for weighing platforms veriﬁ ed or veriﬁ able

for use in legal metrology), only Class l/m can be selected. Activate the

“Accuracy class“ menu item, select “Class III/IIII“ and

conﬁ rm your selection using the “l“ soft key. Ranges The capacity of the weighing platform can be divided into multiple ranges: – “ Single-range mode“:

The entire weighing range is divided into scale intervals on the basis of the lowest interval d and the maximum load.

– “ Multi-interval mode“:

The “Multi-interval mode” function divides the weighing capacity into as many as four ranges, each with a different readability. Corresponding changes take place automatically. Once the scale has been tared, the highest possible resolution is available even if the weighing platform is loaded with a higher weight. This is only permitted in the accuracy classes l/m for the veriﬁ able conﬁ guration.

– “ Multiple-range mode“:

Multiple-range mode has two or three weighing ranges. When the range limit is exceeded, the scale switches into the next highest weighing range (lower resolution) and remains there. The scale can be returned to the lower weighing range (higher resolution) only by pressing the ( key and then unloading the scale.

Operating Instructions Combics Complete Scales 25

Conﬁ guring Weighing Platforms

Select the desired conﬁ guration using the “Q“ or “q“ soft key. Conﬁ rm your

selection using the “O“ key. Make additional settings in the submenu: scale interval

d/veriﬁ cation scale interval e, minimum load (Veriﬁ able conﬁ guration only),

range limits (Multi-interval or Multiple range mode only) and maximum capacity.

Conﬁ rm using the “l“ soft key or cancel using “Esc.“ 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, etc.

When using veriﬁ able or veriﬁ ed weighing platforms, the scale interval d is the same

as the veriﬁ cation scale interval e. Verification Scale Interval e The veriﬁ cation scale interval e indicates the resolution of the weighing instrument

in legal metrology. The veriﬁ cation scale interval e can be entered only in

increments of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, etc. For weighing instruments of accuracy class l or

m, e = d. This is why the scale interval d does not need to be entered separately.

When “Standard conﬁ guration” is used, this menu item is not displayed.

Minimum Capacity (Min. Cap.) When “Standard conﬁ guration” is used, this menu item is not displayed. The

minimum load of the connected weighing platform is entered under this menu item.

The minimum load for scales of accuracy class l is 20 e and 10 e for class m.

Important Note: The function of the minimum load setting is to warn operators that below this

limit, the summation of tolerances might lead to signiﬁ cant measurement errors. In

Germany, for example, initial weights below the minimum load are not allowed. Maximum Capacity (Max. Cap.) The maximum capacity is the maximum load that may be placed on the weighing

instrument. When heavier weights are used the weighing instrument displays

overload “H.” The scale intervals of the weighing instrument are calculated using

the maximum load and the scale interval d (e.g. max. capacity = 15.000 kg, smallest

scale interval d = 0.005 kg yields 3000 scale intervals).

In legal metrology the total number of intervals must be no more than 3000 e, and

when using multi-interval scales there must not be more than 3000 e intervals per

range.

In standard operation, as opposed to legal metrology, you can deﬁ ne a “Super

Range” weighing instrument of over 3000 intervals. These parameters, however,

may be inﬂ uenced by physical restrictions. Range 1, Range 2, Range 3 The range limits are entered for the individual ranges. The accuracy changes when

these limits are exceeded. The following applies when entering limits: range 1

< range 2 < range 3 < maximum capacity.

This means that the weighing range can be divided into a maximum of 4 ranges.

The resolution changes at intervals of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 etc., where the lowest

resolution is the smallest scale interval entered. Set ranges that are not required for

use to zero. Available Units With this function, you can make particular weight units (weight unit x, x=1, 2)

inaccessible during weighing. Available units are indicated by a * on the display

(more than one can be selected).

To enable or disable a unit, select the unit by pressing the “

Q“ or “q“ soft key, and

then press the “l“ soft key (toggle function). Saving Parameters To save the ADC conﬁ guration, use the “

O“ soft key to select “Yes“ and conﬁ rm

with the “l“ soft key. The device software is reset, and the scale returns to the

normal weighing mode. To exit the menu without saving conﬁ guration changes,

press the “o“ soft key.

Once these parameters have been conﬁ gured, the A/D converter in conjunction with

the load cell(s) is deﬁ ned as a weighing instrument. The A/D converter, in conjunc-

tion with the weighing platform, can now be used like any standard weighing

platform. In addition, the weight unit must be deﬁ ned and the weighing platform

adjusted (calibration, adjustment and linearization must be performed). For a detailed

description of these procedures, see the “Adjustment in Service Mode“ section.

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 active, geographical data can be entered in the Setup

menu under “

WP 1“ for the ﬁ rst weighing platform and “WP 2“ for the

second. Settings are made in the “Calibration/adjustment:

Geographical data: Input parameters

“ menu.

– You can enter either the “latitude“ (geographical latitude in degrees)

and “altitude“ (elevation in m above sea level) or the value for gravitational acceleration “gravity.“

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.

h

Then make sure that the geographical data for the adjustment location has been

entered correctly. If no external adjustment is carried out, enter the data for the installation location. The data can be obtained from the relevant land registry or Ordnance Survey.

Adjustment Without Weights

Purpose

In the Service menu, adjustment without weights can be carried out by entering the characteristic data of the load cells.

3

Adjustment without weights may not be carried out on weighing equipment used

in legal metrology.

Setup information

– Adjustment without weights is only possible when the menu access switch is

open in the Service mode. – The “Nominal load“ parameter must be entered in the “kg“ unit. – The “Resolution“ parameter must be entered in the “kg“ unit and must

correspond to the scale interval “d“ entered for the ADC conﬁguration. – The “Sensitivity“ parameter is entered in “mV/V“ (see the data sheet for the

value).

h

These values are converted to internal quantities.

Once the ADC conﬁguration data have been stored (by selecting the “Save

parameters

“ menu item), these parameters can no longer be read.

Operation

Automatic Taring

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

Operating Menu Setting: “Application parameters: Autotare 1st

weight:Yes“

Minimum load for automatic taring and automatic printing

To tare container weights automatically, you need to set a minimum load in the Setup menu, under: “Application parameters:Min. load f. auto.

taring/printout:o 10 digits

“

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. Once the minimum load has been exceeded, the weighing platform is tared automatically and/or an automatic printout is generated.

Automatic Printing

The ﬁrst weight value that exceeds the minimum load is printed. If the menu item is also activated for automatic taring, it is only tared when the minimum load is exceeded. In this case, an automatic printout would only be generated when the second weight value exceeds the minimum load.

Setting in the Setup Menu: “Device parameters:Conﬁg. printout:Once at

stability:On

“

Scanning barcodes directly

You can directly scan a barcode using the barcode scanner.

Operating Menu Setting: “Device parameters:Bar code:oInput“

The barcode can contain the following codes: – “I“ for write identiﬁer – “T“ for save tare memory – “R“ for write reference weight – “A“ for activate product data memory

Examples: “I4Anton“ = write the character string to ID 4: Anton

“TC1“ = write 1 Kg to the preset tare memory. “C“ = unit: Kilograms “B“ = grams “D“ = carat, etc. “RC0.0023“ = write 0.0023 kg as the reference weight “A1“ = load product data memory 1

Calibration, 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

Conﬁguration 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 veriﬁed scale in legal metrology in the EU: The Type-Approval Certiﬁcate for veriﬁed 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 adjusted via the internal

adjustment equipment at the installation location: see chapter “Conﬁguring Weighing Platforms,“ section “Internal Adjustment.“

SQmin Function

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

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

System Requirements The scale must be set up by a service technician to be able to use the SQmin

function. The technician will determine the permitted minimum sample quantity and set this on your balance using your QA system‘s guidelines. He will document this setting via a “Weighing module test as per USP“ certiﬁcate in which the measurements and min. sample quantity are logged. The SQmin function ensures that the weighing results correspond to USP guidelines. These SQmin settings cannot be changed by the user.

Features – Displaying the minimum sample quality:

The value is displayed in the text line for 4 seconds after pressing the k key.

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

Setting the SBI Data Output

Data output settings can be made in the Setup menu under “Data

communications:SBI:Data output

or automatically at deﬁned intervals

– Output of a printout as conﬁgured in the “Device parameters:

Conﬁg. printout:Printer 1“ or “Printer 2

“ (see next

page).

You can deﬁne the printout content by specifying which blocks of information are to be included (see “Conﬁguring Printouts”). In general, the current display value is output (weight with unit, calculated value, alphanumeric display) unless you conﬁgure a user-deﬁnable data record. Generally, data is output only after the weighing instrument has stabilized (factory setting). Here you can deﬁne whether data is output on request or automatically, at stability or without stability check; and conﬁgure a user-deﬁned printout. The data output for “without stability“ must be set accordingly (SBI: Data output). If you select time-dependent automatic printout, you need to deﬁne the print interval (in display updates) as well. Each line of a printout can contain up to 20 characters. The ﬁrst 6 characters, called the “data header”, identify the subsequent value. Only 14 characters are available if you disable the header. This is carried out in the “Line format“ menu item (see also “Setup Overview“ in “Conﬁguration“).

Automatic Data Output (SBI) You can have the weight readout printed automatically1). This printout can be

generated after a certain number of display updates2). You can also conﬁgure whether or not the auto-print function is dependent on the stability of the scale3). The display update frequency depends on both the scale model and the operating status. Examples:
