Disconnect the balance from the wall outlet prior to moving the device.
Avoid condensation damage to the device. When the balance is turned on, condensation
build-up is not possible. If the device is moved from a cool environment to a warm environment, you must allow the device to acclimatize for approx. 2 hours before connecting to the
power supply.
Hazards at the Place of Installation and During Operation
3
Avoid generating static electricity and establish equipotential bonding.
A 10 kOhm ground is used when connecting the balance to the power supply. Disconnecting the ground conductor is not permitted.
3
Exercise caution to avoid glass breakage.
There is a danger of lacerations or cuts caused by sharp edges on glass or metal (contact
springs), particularly when removing or replacing the glass draft shield panels; during cleaning;
if a glass sample container breaks, or when modifying the balance hardware configuration.
3
Models with a separate electronics module (e. g. MSU6.6/3.6/2.7), MSU225S/P
and MSU125P:
Do not mix up the electronics module.
Interchanging with, e. g. models of the ME/SE series will damage the device.
3
Make sure all equipment operators have received proper instructions when working with
hazardous or toxic materials.
Failure to follow correct handling procedures can result in breakage of parts or spillage of
liquids or other substances. Make sure the necessary protective clothing or equipment is
worn, such as protective gloves, clothing, eyewear.
All safety regulations applicable in the laboratory must be observed.
3
Exercise caution to avoid squeezing or crushing fingers when
– Operating the electronic draft shield
– Removing or installing the panels
– Adjusting the display
Do not expose the device to aggressive chemical vapors or to unnecessarily extreme tem-
peratures, moisture, shocks, or vibration.
The device should be set up in areas away from equipment or devices that have strong mag-
netic properties. Extreme electromagnetic fields from electrical lines should also be avoided.

Leveling
h
Leveling the balance compensates for slant or unevenness at the
place of installation. The scale must be perfectly horizontal to ensure
consistent, reproducible weighing results. All models are equipped with
an electronic tilt angle detection feature. If the balance is not level, a
warning message appears on the display.
Push-button automatic leveling is available on models with motorized
leveling feet. For models with manual leveling feet, please follow the
instructions on the display.
Leveling the Balance Manually
y The scale is leveled using both front leveling feet.
t Screw in both back leveling feet (only for models with back leveling feet).
t Turn the front leveling feet as shown in the illustration until the air bubble is
centered within the circle of the level indicator.
y Normally, several leveling steps are required
t Turn both back leveling feet until they touch the setup surface (only for models
with back leveling feet).

Warm-up Time
y To deliver precise results as per the Specifications, the balance must warm up
for at least 30 minutes after initial connection to the power supply. Only then
will the device have reached the required operating temperature.
When a verified balance used in legal metrology (legal-for-trade
applications) is connected to the power, it must warm up for at least
two hours before operation.

Operating Design: Q-Guide
Cubis® precision and analytical balances are controlled by application software with
interactive operator guidance. Once you open a menu or select an application, brief
instructions appear on the display to guide you through the menu or application
step-by-step. At each step along the way, the display shows only those options that
are relevant to your process; this helps prevent unnecessary “detours” and enables
you to reach your goal more quickly.
This type of user guidance is mostly intuitive. Although operation of the balance
is also mostly intuitive, this manual includes a section with very detailed, step-bystep instructions where you can learn about all of the available options
(see “Creating User Profiles” in Section “User Management”).
Basic Operational Structure
The most basic functions, weighing and taring, can be carried out as soon
as the balance is switched on. The application software is divided into three general
areas in which individual settings can be configured:
In Task Management (TASK), task profiles with specific applications, weighing settings, and printout settings can be configured.
User Management (USER) lets you set up user profiles with specific configura-
tion settings and user rights. You can also set up password protection to meet your
security requirements. Your balance can also be used without User Management.

Leveling the Balance (Q-Level)
It is essential for exact weighing results that the balance is absolutely level.
The front leveling feet can be used to level out small tilts in the floor. Depending
on the model, the balance is equipped with either motorized or manually operated
leveling feet.
An integrated sensor detects the alignment of the balance and triggers a warning
message when leveling is required. You can configure this warning message and the
automatic leveling function (see System Settings > Balance Parameters).
When the isoCAL function is activated, the isoCal trigger is set after manual
leveling. Balances with motorized leveling feet are leveled automatically prior to
each new calibration/adjustment.

Alibi Memory
The alibi memory contains (stores) weighing results with date, time, and process
number. This takes place every time a print job is requested [e. g., by pressing
Print P]. Tare and input values are also saved. The alibi memory can therefore
be used as a replacement for a log printer.
The data memory has a ring buffer, meaning that the oldest data records can
be overwritten by new ones. The user can define a memory-time dependent
overwrite protection as well a storage period. Standard: 90 days, see Section
“Device Parameters.” The alibi memory can contain approximately 450,000 data
records; storage capacity depends on the size of each data record.
The alibi memory is verifiable. When the balance is calibrated, you must check that
the alibi memory is correctly functioning by saving some values.
If the alibi memory is being used in legal metrology (according to Council Directive
2014/31/EU), the following must be observed:
– Make sure that there is sufficient storage capacity. Responsibility for this lies
with the operator.
– The weighing results should be stored together with a unique ID code (e. g.,
number or date and time). This makes it possible for every weighing operation or weighing result to be easily assigned and verified if necessary. These ID
codes must be indicated on any receipts generated on peripheral devices.
– All the required tare and net values will be saved during data output.
– It must be possible for the contractual partners involved to be able to check
and verify the stored weighing results.
– Any continuously output weighing results that have not previously been stored
and have no identification codes may only be used for applications that are not
used in legal metrology
(e. g., batching, controlling, or similar). It is not permissible to circulate any
results lacking identification codes for applications used in legal metrology.
– Receipts can be prepared by a peripheral device not subject to legal verifica-
tion in accordance with the preamble to Annex I of Directive 2014/31/EU and
Section 7b (3) 2 of the German Verification Act.
These receipts must contain the following information:
– ID code for every weighing result,
– if used in Germany, a note stating that the weighing results can be com-
pared with the legally stored weighing results using their identification
codes.
You must first install and activate the alibi memory in order to use it (see Device
Parameters > Alibi Memory Configuration).

SQmin Minimum Weighing
SQmin Minimum Weighing
Purpose: This application is used to compare the measured weight value directly with the
defined minimum sample quantity (SQmin = sample quantity minimum). This
ensures that weighing results are within tolerances defined by your quality assur-
ance system. This fulfils the requirements of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP).
According to USP guidelines, the measurement uncertainty can be a max. of 0.1%
in terms of the initial weight when weighing substances for quantitative analyses.
Requirements: The balance 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.
Combination options: Mass unit conversion, second tare memory, individual identifiers (DKD measure-
ment uncertainty)

Density Determination
Calculation Basis for Density Determination
The density determination application is based on the equations:
Rho Density of sample (l)
lfl Density of buoyancy liquid
Wa Weight of sample in air
Wfl Weight of sample in liquid (when determining liquid density, buoyancy
and displacement)
Weight of fill medium (for pycnometer)
Wr Weight of sample and fill medium (for pycnometer)
LA Air buoyancy correction = 0.0012 g/ccm
Buoyancy: Rho = (Wa * (l
fl
- LA)) / ((Wa - Wfl) * corr) + LA
Displacement: Rho = (Wa * (l
fl
- LA)) / (Wfl * corr) + LA
When the displacement method is used to correct for buoyancy by means of a wire
(string) suspended in liquid, the factor 1.00000 is used in the calculation as
a factory-set default.
The correction factor Corr is calculated from: Corr = 1 - n * d2 / D
2
with:
n Number of wires
d Wire diameter (YKD01MS: 0.7 mm)
D Inner diameter of the vessel being used (YKD01MS: 76 mm)
When other vessels or other submersion assemblies are used, this factor can
be changed by modifying the parameters for the density kit.

Purpose: This application is used to calculate the weight value using an algebraic formula
that you define yourself. You can define a fixed formula or one that you can
change while carrying out the task.
For balances used in legal metrology, follow the directions in Section “Executing
Tasks.”
Combination options: Second tare (SQmin function, DKD measurement uncertainty)
Example: You want to determine the area of irregularly cut pieces of paper. The weight per
unit area of the respective paper type is known.
Configuring a Task: Calculation
D
t Select whether you want to use a fixed formula or a variable formula.
Enter fixed formula: All calculations are carried out with the formula that
you define for this task.
Formula can be changed during process: You can change the formula
before each calculation.
Example: The area of irregular paper samples must be determined.
The paper’s weight per unit area in g/cm2 is known. The equation for determining
the paper area in cm2 is:
Paper area = weight value W in g * 10000 / weight per unit area in g/cm2.
The formula to be entered for a weight per unit area of 80 g/cm2 is:
Wx10000/80
To analyze different paper types, the formula must be able to be changed before
each calculation (e.g., for paper with 80, 90, 100 g/cm2).
Additional formula examples are at the end of this section. Likewise, you can create
several tasks, one for each paper type.

Averaging
Averaging
Purpose: This application is used for moving samples (e. g., live animals) and for weighing
in unstable environments. A measurement cycle is automatically carried out with
a defined number of measurements for each object to be weighed. The individual
measurements are averaged, and this average is displayed as the result.
For balances used in legal metrology, follow the directions in Section “Executing
Tasks.”
Options: You can start the measurement manually or it can start automatically as soon as
the min. weight is reached. Depending on how strong the unsteadiness of the
sample is, you can vary the sensitivity for the measurement. The number of
measurements from which the average is taken can also be defined.
Combination options: Checkweighing, timer-controlled functions, totalizing, statistics, formulation,
SQmin function, DKD measurement uncertainty, second tare, individual identifiers
