Getting Started

Equipment Supplied

– Indicator – Weighing platform – Operating instructions (this manual) – Special accessories as listed on the bill

of delivery, if ordered

Installation Instructions

The scale is designed to provide reliable results under normal ambient conditions in the laboratory and in industry. When choosing a location to set up your scale, observe the following so that you will be able to work with added speed and accuracy:

– Avoid placing the scale in close

proximity to a heater or otherwise exposing it to heat or direct sunlight.

– Protect the scale from drafts that come

from open windows or doors

– Avoid exposing the scale to extreme

vibrations during weighing.

– Protect the scale from aggressive

chemical vapors.

– Do not expose the scale to extreme

moisture over long periods. Turn off the power if you do not need to use the scale with other equipment.

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Sartorius AG could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Conditioning the Scale Moisture in the air can condense on the surface of a cold scale whenever it is brought to a substantially warmer place. If you transfer the scale to a warmer area, make sure to condition it for about 2 hours at room temperature, leaving it unplugged from AC power. Afterwards, if you keep the scale connected to AC power, the constant positive difference in temperature between the inside of the scale and the outside will practically rule out the effects of moisture condensation.

Connecting the Combics to AC Power

§ Check the voltage rating and the plug design.

$ The scale is powered through the pre-installed power cord. The power supply is built in

to the scale, which can be operated with a supply voltage of 100V to 240V. Make sure that the voltage rating printed on the manufacturer’s ID label is identical to that of your local line voltage. If the voltage specified on the label or the plug design of the AC adapter do not match the rating or standard you use, please contact your Sartorius office or dealer. The power connection must be made in accordance with the regulations applicable in your country.

§ To power a protective class 1 device, plug the power cord into an electrical outlet (mains

supply) that is properly installed with a protective grounding conductor (protective earth = PE).

Safety Precautions

If you use an electrical outlet that does not have a protective grounding conductor (protective earth), make sure to have a certified electrician install equivalent protection according to the installation requirements valid in your country. Make sure the protective grounding effect is not neutralized by use of an extension cord that lacks a protective grounding conductor.

Connecting Electronic Peripheral Devices

§ Make absolutely sure to unplug the scale from AC power before you connect or

disconnect a peripheral device (printer or PC) to or from the interface port.

Warmup Time

To deliver exact results, the scale must warm up for at least 30 minutes after initial connection to AC power or after a relatively long power outage. Only after this time will the scale have reached the required operating temperature.

Using Equipment Verified as Legal Measuring Instruments in the EU*

$ Make sure to allow the equipment to warm up for at least 24 hours after initial

connection to AC power or after a relatively long power outage.

Shock Resistance

The weighing platform features a rugged construction, but you should not allow objects to fall onto the weighing pan. Also avoid bumps to the side of the unit and shocks. The weighing platform withstands the loads specified in standard DIN 1EC68, Part 2-27.

Important Note About Planning Structures for Attachment to the Weighing Platform

The weighing platform is suitable for installation in systems. The scale drawings should be used as the basis for selecting any necessary structures to be affixed to the platform. Use the YAS041S fastening set to secure the weighing platform.

Moving or rotating parts on the weighing pan must be designed so that they do not influence the weighing results. For example, rotating parts must be balanced. The weighing pan must have clearance on all sides to prevent any falling objects or dirt from creating a connection between the weighing platform and any permanent structures.

Cables and hoses between the weighing platform and other devices must not exert any force on the weighing platform. These cables must not touch the weighing pan. (For CW* models only): When setting up systems in hazardous areas (zone 2 or 22), be sure to observe and comply with the relevant regulations (e.g., EN60079-14). Pay special attention that electrostatic charges resulting from moving parts (e.g., conveyors) are avoided or discharged.

Preload Range (Zero-Point Range)

The weight of any structures that are permanently mounted on the weighing platform constitutes the “preload.” The preload is electronically compensated in the weighing platform so that the entire weighing range is available and so that the scale can be zeroed or calibrated (using external weights).

Larger preloads will lead to a reduction of the weighing range. The weight on the scale may not fall below the following weighing range values:

– At least 30 kg of the weighing range must remain for models CH3G-150 1G-H – At least 60 kg of the weighing range must remain for models CH3G-300 1G-H

!You must always set the preload prior to verifying the scale for legal metrology.

All structures must be mounted on the weighing platform before it is connected to AC power.

Page 12

With Combics 3 you can

– collect weight values from two

weighing platforms

– use application programs to calculate

and display results

– assign codes to identify the samples

Input Through a Bar Code Scanner or External Keyboard

You can use a bar code scanner or a keyboard to enter alphanumeric values in the Combics. Generally, you can use any bar code format that is compatible with the scanner connected. Like values entered through the keypad, barcode and keyboard input is handled as:

– Weight values for tare memory

– Reference weight values for the

Counting, Neutral Measurement and Weighing in Percent applications

– Numeric values

– Product identifiers

You can also configure your Combics 3 to activate a function when a particular bar code is scanned, or to display the value represented by the bar code without initializing any function. This feature is configured in the Setup program, under:

Device parameters Bar code

Select Reference, Tare or ID1 to use the value represented by the bar code as a reference, tare or ID1 value.

Bar code values can include a designator specifying that the value scanned is designated as a tare value, for example, or an ID4 value. If you select the menu setting

Input without

activating function

, the content of bar code is displayed but no function is activated, regardless of the designation. The next key pressed determines which function is to be activated (e.g., “Set tare value”).

If you select

Error Codes

– If a key is inactive, this is indicated as

follows: – The error code “-” and/or

“

No function” is displayed for

2 seconds. The display then returns to the previous screen content.

– An acoustic signal (double-beep)

is emitted.

– Temporary errors are indicated by

an error code, shown in the measured value/result line for 2 seconds (for example,

Inf 09).

– Fatal errors are indicated by an error

code displayed steadily in the measured value/result line (for example,

Err

101

), until you turn the Combics off

and then on again (reset).

This process is the same for all operating modes (weighing, application programs and Setup program). Error codes and messages are described in detail in the chapter entitled “Error Codes.”

Operating Design

Data Output

You can choose from four forms

of data output: – Printer – Digital input/output interface – COM port – LEDs

Printer

You can connect one or two strip

printers or one or two label printers

to the Combics. If you use a universal

printer or a model YDP02 or YDP03

printer, you can configure interface

parameters in the Setup program

(baud rate, stop bits, handshake

mode, data bits).

The printout can be formatted by the

user. The printout consists of two

user-definable header lines, up to four

lines identifying the weighing data,

one line for date and time, initialization

data (only when using applications),

serial number and results. For a strip

printer, universal printer or label printer,

you can also define whether a GMP

header and GMP footer (field for

operator signature) will be included

on the printout (GMP: Good

Manufacturing Practice).

These functions are described in detail

in the chapter entitled “Operating

the Combics”, under “Data Output

Functions.”

You can have printouts generated

at the press of a key, or automatically

(dependent on stability).

For the Totalizing and Net-total

applications, you can also configure

summarized printouts (results)

independent of individual or

component value printouts.

Press the p key to print the settings

of the current menu level on a strip

printer or a universal printer.

All submenus under the current menu

level are included on the printout.

Digital Input/Output Interface

The digital I/O interface is supported by the Checkweighing and Classification applications.

Checkweighing Four data outputs transfer the following information on the weight values: “less than”, “equal to”, “greater than” and “set” In the Setup menu, you can configure whether the outputs are: always on; activated when the scale has stabilized; active only within the checkweighing range; activated when the scale has stabilized only if the values are within the checkweighing range, or off.

Classification Four data outputs transfer information on the class of the load (Class 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5) and whether the minimum load is exceeded (Set). The user can define whether the output lines are always active, activated only at stability, or off. For the Checkweighing and Classification applications, you can use the “Set” output to indicate:

– The scale(s) and the Combics 3 indicator

are ready to operate, or – for Checkweighing: Set – for Classification: Minimum load

exceeded

For all other applications, the “Set”

output indicates when the Combics 3

indicator is ready to operate.

COM Port

The Combics scale is equipped

with an SBI interface for data transfer.

You can define certain parameters for

this interface (generate printout,

time-dependent autoprint, ID codes).

See “Data Output Functions” in

the chapter entitled “Operating the

Combics” for a detailed description

of data output options.

LEDs

The Combics 3 has an integrated

checkweighing display consisting

of three LEDs, for use with the

Checkweighing and Classification

applications. These LEDs show the

relationship of the current weight

value to the tolerance limits in

Checkweighing; with the Classification

application, they indicate how the

weight value is classified.

Saving Data

The parameters you select in the operating menu remain stored after you turn off the Combics.

The Combics also stores all application parameters (for example, reference values). These parameters are overwritten only when

– you turn the Combics off and then

back on again

– you return to the originally selected

application from a different one (for example, if you switch from Counting to Averaging, the values previously stored for the Counting application are restored)

You can restrict access to the Device parameters menu in the Setup program by assigning a password. The password is configured in the Setup program, under:

Device parameters Password

Page 17

Purpose

You can configure the Combics 3 to meet individual requirements by entering user data and setting menu parameters in the Setup program.

Automatic Taring

The first weight on the scale that exceeds the preset minimum load 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 is less than 50% of the minimum load.

Configure in Setup under:

Application: Weigh: Autotare 1st weight

Minimum Load

The minimum load required for automatic taring of the container weight on the platform (first weight), or for automatic printout of results, is configured in Setup under:

Application: Weigh: MinL. autotar

You can choose from the following 10 levels for this setting:

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 in 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.

Automatic Printing

The first weight value that exceeds the minimum load is printed out automatically. Configure in Setup under:

Device: Printout: Once at stability

Weighing with Two Weighing Platforms

Calibration and Adjustment

Purpose

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

Calibration technically means to determine the difference between the weighing instrument readout and the actual weight on the platform to determine the accuracy. This does not involve making any changes in the scale.

Adjustment means to bring a weighing instrument to the level of accuracy required for its use.

Interface Port

Purpose

The indicator is equipped with the

following data interfaces: – Standard COM1 and COM2 interfaces – optional: UniCOM universal data

interface (see “Accessories”).

Both interfaces can be configured in

the Setup program (see “Configuring

the Combics”) for different input/

output functions. For example, you

can connect a printer, Alibi memory,

PC, remote checkweighing display,

or second weighing platform to a COM

port, or configure the port for control

command input (e.g., for using a foot

switch). The optional UniCOM interface

can be used for Profibus-DP, RS-232,

RS-485 or RS-422 communication, or

as a voltage/current (analog) interface.

A bar code scanner or an external

rechargeable battery pack can be

connected to the female UniCOM port

(on CW3S models, use the

corresponding terminal screws).

Features

Built-in standard COM1 and COM2

ports, plus option for installing a

UniCOM universal data interface: – CW3P indicator (IP44 protection):

Connect via a 25-contact D-Sub

female connector.

If you wish to connect a second device

to an interface port, a T-connector is

required (see “Accessories”). – CW3S indicator (IP67 protection):

Route the connecting cable from the

peripheral device to the indicator via

a cable gland. Then connect the free

ends of the cable using the terminal

screws.

If you wish to connect a second

peripheral device to the same interface

port, use a separate cable gland to route

the connecting cable of this device into

the indicator and connect the free ends

of the cable using the terminal screws.

!Warning When Using Pre-wired

RS-232 Connecting Cables

RS-232 cables purchased from other

manufacturers often have incorrect

pin assignments for use with Sartorius

weighing systems. Be sure to check

the pin assignments against the chart

in this manual before connecting the

cable, and disconnect any lines

identified differently from those

specified by Sartorius. Failure to do so

may damage or even completely ruin

your indicator and/or peripheral device.

Page 49

Combics 3 enables connection of a second weighing platform, either to the COM1 port or to the UniCOM universal port.

The standard COM1 port is operated in the RS-232 mode. The second weighing platform can be operated

in any of the following modes: – SBI – xBPI-232 (factory setting) – ADC-232

The standard COM2 port and the

optional UniCOM universal interface

can be operated in either the RS-232

or RS-485 mode. The second weighing

platform can be operated in any of

the following modes: – SBI (RS-232 mode) – IS-232 (RS-232 mode) – ADC-232 (RS-232 mode) – IS485 (RS-485 mode, xBPI mode;

factory setting) – ADC-485 (RS-485 mode)

The standard COM1 and COM2 ports or

the optional universal UniCOM interface

can be used as a printer interface.

For operation as a COM port, you can

adapt data records to the following

operating modes: – SBI (factory setting) – xBPI-232 – xBPI-485 – M8 binary (COM1 port only) – SMA

In the SBI communication mode,

you can control a display unit and

a connected weighing platform by

sending ESC commands from a PC

to the communications port (COM1

or UniCOM). For details, see the

section entitled “Data Input Format”

in this chapter.

Generating SBI Data Output

In the Setup menu, under “Data Communications: SBI: Data output”, you can define which data is output when an output command is received:

– The displayed value, with or without

stability check

– Automatic output of the displayed

value, either with or without stability check, or automatically at defined intervals

– Output of a printout as configured

in the Setup program, under “Device parameters: Printout: Printer 1 (or 2)” (see next page). You can define the printout content by specifying which blocks of information are to be included. Please refer to the section entitled “Configuring Printouts” in this chapter for detailed instructions and sample 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, numeric or alphabetic ID).

The settings are configured under “Data Communications: SBI: Data output”: Here you can define whether data is output on request or automatically, at stability or without stability check; and configure a user-defined printout. If you select time-dependent automatic printout, you need to define the print interval (in display updates) as well.

Generally, data is output only after the weighing instrument has stabilized. If you wish to enable output without a stability check, configure the “Data communications” settings accordingly (under SBI: Data output)

Line Format Each line of a printout can contain up to 20 characters. The first 6 characters, called the “data header”, identify the subsequent value. Under “Data communications: SBI: Line format” you can disable header printing, in which case a printed line can contain up to 14 characters (factory setting: “For other apps. 22 characters”).

For more details, refer to the “Operating Menu Overview” in the chapter entitled “Configuring the Combics”.

Page 50

Printing

There are several actions that generate the command for outputting data to the printer port:

– Pressing the p key. If the Setup

program is active, the menu settings are printed (see “Configuring the Combics”).

– Sending 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. For details, refer to the “Basic Application Programs” manual for the Combics 3. See also “Configuring Printouts” below for sample printouts.

The

S and

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

Line Format Each line of a printout can contain up to 20 characters. The first 6 characters, called the “data header”, identify the subsequent value.

Configuring Printouts

To configure a printout, activate the Setup menu and navigate to the menu items shown in the diagram on the left. For details on menu navigation, see “Configuring the Combics”.

You can configure a different printout for each interface. Each printout contains your choice of the following information blocks; to enable or disable a block in the printout, select it or deselect it in the Setup menu:

– Headers: Line 1, Line 2 – Date, time – Dotted line and blank line (for the

Weighing application). This block cannot be deselected. It is printed to separate the next block (“Initialization data”, below) from the subsequent blocks.

– Initialization data (e.g., reference

sample quantity, reference piece weight), followed by a blank line.

This block is not included on the printout of results from the Totalizing

and Net-total Formulation applications. – Serial number of the load cell – Results: Gross, tare, and net values;

blank line and application-specific

result (e.g., piece count) followed by

a dotted line.

In the Setup menu, select the blocks

of information that you wish to include

(multiple selections possible; factory

settings: all blocks included). A blocked

that is not selected is omitted from the

printout.

Information Blocks

The individual information blocks

are shown below with detailed

explanations. Samples of complete

printouts are provided following the

end of this section.

Headers

You can define 2 headers, each with

20 characters per line (e.g., for printing

your company’s name).

The following characters are available:

“0” to “9”, “A” to “Z”, “-” and “ ”

(space).

When this block is enabled, the printout

appears as follows (example):

ACE HARDWARE

GOETTINGEN

In this example, the company name

is centered on the printout. This was

achieved by entering 3 blank spaces at

the beginning of the first line, and 4 at

the beginning of the second line.

ID Codes

ID1: Data ID code 1

ID2: Data ID code 2

ID3: Data ID code 3

The name (in this example, ID1) is left-

justified and the value is right-justified

on the printout. If name and value

together are too long for one line,

the remaining characters are printed

in subsequent lines.

When this block is enabled, the printout

includes up to four ID codes, which are

stored in the indicator. Example:

ID1 Batch no.1234

ID2 Steelmeyer Co.

ID3 Screws M4x6

ID4 Mr. Smith

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

Date/Time

When this block is enabled, the printout appears as follows (example):

21.01.2001 16:02

To achieve a standardized time stamp (e.g., for documentation in a fully automated system), you can disable the printout of the time in this information block, by selecting “Device parameters: Config. printout: Date/time: Date only” (factory setting: “Date with time”). With “Date only” selected, the time stamp can be inserted by a higher-level controller or central computer to maintain consistent time stamping. This setting is especially important for communication with a PC.

Separating Block: Dotted Line This block is automatically inserted before further information blocks are printed.

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

Application Initialization Data

Which data is included in this block depends on the active application. In the Weighing application, for example, this block is empty; in the Counting application, the reference sample quantity and the reference piece weight are printed. The block is terminated with a blank line. When this block is enabled, the printout appears as follows (example: Counting application):

nRef 10 pcs wRef + 0.035 kg

Scale ID (e.g., the serial number of the weighing platform)

When this block is enabled, the printout appears as follows (example):

Ser.no. 1234567890

Application Results

Which data is included in this block depends on the active application. If provided in the application, the gross, net and tare weights are usually printed, followed by a blank line. In the Counting application, the piece count is printed as the result. This block is terminated by a dotted line. When this block is enabled, the printout appears as follows (example: Counting application):

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

Qnt 34 pcs

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

Enabling GMP-compliant Printouts

Select “ISO/GLP/GMP printout” to add a GMP header and a footer bracketing the measured result on the printout. If the GMP-compliant printout is activated (factory setting: Off), the

T symbol is

displayed on the indicator until the printout is generated. You can choose from the following settings:

– GMP-compliant printout off (factory

setting) – GMP-compliant printout for 1 result – GMP-compliant printout for multiple

results

The GMP header is included from the

first printout generated subsequent to

the activation of the “GMP” menu item.

The GMP footer is printed either after

each measured result (“ISO/GLP/GMP:

For 1 application result”), or after the

last result in a series of measurements,

when you press and hold the p key

for more than 2 seconds (“ISO/GMP/

GLP: For several application results”).

In this case, the

T symbol remains

displayed until the GMP footer is

printed.

If you toggle to a different platform

while a GMP printout of several

measured results is being generated,

the GMP footer for the platform used

up to that point is generated when

you press n. The GMP header for

the other platform 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 GMP-

compliant printouts, you may find that

a single label is not long enough for the

data printed. If this is the case, activate

the “Form feed” setting to advance the

paper after each printout of a GMP

header and application results.

The following page shows three samples

of GMP headers and footers. Please

refer to the following section, “Sample

Printouts”, for samples of complete

printouts.

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

Checkweighing Application

The “Initialization data” block contains the nominal, minimum and maximum weights. The “Results” block always contains the gross, net and tare weights. The other results can be displayed in one of two ways:

– Result = Weight:

The deviation from the nominal weight is given both as a percentage and as an absolute (weight) value, whether the result lies within the “OK” range or not.

– Result = Threshold status:

If the result lies within the “OK” range, the printout shows the deviation from the nominal weight both as a percentage and as an absolute (weight) value, just as in the “Weight” printout mode described above. If the result is outside the “OK” range, the last line of the printout indicates the status as follows:

Page 53

Classification Application

The “Initialization data” block contains the upper limits of Classes 1 through 4. The “Results” block contains gross, net and tare weights, as well as the class that the sample belongs to (1 through 5, where Class 5 means that the upper limit of Class 4 was exceeded).

HEADER LINE 1 HEADER LINE 2

Class 1

)

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

) Classification is based on values

from 1 to 5. Any weight that exceeds the upper limit defined for Class 4 is designated as Class 5, if the application is configured for 5 classes rather than 3.

Animal Weighing Application

The “Initialization data” block contains the number of measured values that averaging is based on. The “Results” block contains the tare weight and the mean value.

Net-total Formulation Application

The “Initialization data” block is empty. Which data is contained in the “Results” block value depends on the program operating status at the time of printing. The following options are available:

– Total/results printout (press c) – Individual/components printout

(When M+ is pressed to save a component, or when p is pressed for an individual printout)

‘Total’ printout:

HEADER LINE 1 HEADER LINE 2

14.07.2002 09:43

-------------------n3 Tot.cp+ 3.400 kg Cont.T+ 0.200 kg

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

Individual/Component Printout

If you press O the header is printed only once. Each component is printed automatically when you press O to store it. If you are using a label printer, make sure a single label is large enough for the list of all components. For printer models YDP01IS and YDP04IS, you can configure manual form feed in the operating menu. With the YDP02IS printer, form feed is automatic after each print command (fixed setting).

If an automatic printout is generated when you store a component, the component weight is equal to the current net weight. This is why components rather than net weights are printed.

Component printout

Example with 3 components (the corresponding ‘Total’ printout is shown above):

HEADER LINE 1 HEADER LINE 2

Totalizing Application

The “Initialization data” block is empty.

If this block is enabled for the printout,

a blank line is output.

Which data is contained in the “Results”

block value depends on the program

operating status at the time of printing.

The following options are available: – ‘Results’ printout (press c):

Printout of values from gross totalizing

memory “*G”, net totalizing memory

“*N” and number transactions “n”. – Standard / component printout

automatic (when M+ is pressed

to save a value) – Standard / component printout

manual, by pressing p.

Whether an individual printout or a

printout of all components is generated

depends on the operating menu

settings.

When the components printout is

configured, the header is printed only

once, followed by all components.

If you are using a label printer, make sure a single label is large enough for the list of all components. For printer models YDP01IS and YDP04IS, you can configure manual form feed in the operating menu. If the corresponding setting is active, you can activate “form feed” manually. With the YDP02IS printer, form feed is automatic after each print command (fixed setting). When “manual” printing is configured (press p to print) the transaction counter value is not printed.

Data Input Format

You can connect a computer to your indicator to send commands controlling scale functions and applications via the interface port. All commands use the same 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“). To trigger this command, send the string: ”ESC P CR LF“.

Command Meaning K Weighing mode 1 L Weighing mode 2 M Weighing mode 3 N Weighing mode 4 O Block all keys P Output readout

The ASCII code for the “underline” character (“_”) is 95.

Format for entering printout header lines: ESC z x a ... a _ CR LF where x=(header line) 1 or 2; a...a= up to 20 characters of text, followed by the “underline” character, carriage return and line feed.

Synchronization

Data is communicated between the indicator and a computer in 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. Details on conditional data output are provided in the “Basic Application Programs” manual for the Combics 3.

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

Handshake

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

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

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.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning the Interior of the Weighing Platform Important note:

This does not apply to CH model platforms.

$ If dirt gets inside the weighing platform,

the load plate has to be removed to clean the weighing platform interior. Particular caution is advised when working with models 1000 + 1000 mm or larger.

$ Blow out the interior with pressurized

air or rinse with a weak water jet (max. 60°C). Make sure that no dirt builds up in the gap between the load receptor and the fastening plate to avoid compromising the overload protection.

Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces

Clean all stainless steel parts regularly. We recommend removing the stainless steel load plate and cleaning it separately, outside the hazardous area. Use a damp cloth or sponge to clean any stainless steel parts on the scale. You can use any commercially available household cleaning agent that is suitable for use on stainless steel. Clean stainless steel surfaces by wiping them down. Then clean the load plate thoroughly, making sure to remove all residues. Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down any stainless steel parts on the weighing platform again and allow the equipment to dry. If desired, you can apply oil to the cleaned surfaces as additional protection.

!Do not use stainless steel cleaning agents

that contain soda lye, ethanoic acid, hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid or citric acid. The use of scrubbing sponges made with steel wool is not permitted. Solvents are permitted for use only on stainless steel parts.

Corrosive Environment

$ Remove all traces of corrosive substances

from the weighing platform on a regular basis.

Replacing the Dust Cover

> Replace damaged dust covers.

§ Place the new dust cover on the

indicator and press down on the front and back along the edges until the cover is firmly seated.

Safety Inspection

Safe operation of the device is no longer ensured when:

– there is visible damage to the device

or power cord

– the built-in power supply no longer

functions properly

– the device has been stored for a

relatively long period under unfavorable conditions (e.g., extreme moisture)

– the equipment has been subjected to

rough handling during shipment. If there is any indication that safe operation of the device is no longer warranted:

§ Disconnect from AC power (unplug the

equipment from the wall outlet (mains supply))

> Lock the equipment in a secure place

to ensure that it cannot be used for the time being

§ Notify your nearest Sartorius Service

Center or the International Technical Support Unit based in Goettingen, Germany.

Maintenance and repair work may be performed only by authorized Sartorius service technicians who:

– have access to the required service and

maintenance manuals, and

– have attended the relevant service

training courses.

!The seals affixed to this equipment

indicate that the equipment may be opened only by authorized service technicians, to ensure safe and troublefree operation of the equipment and to maintain the conditions for warranty coverage. If the verification seals are damaged, the equipment must be reverified.

Service

Regular servicing by a Sartorius technician will extend the service life of your Combics scale and ensure its continued weighing accuracy. Sartorius can offer you service contracts, with your choice of regular maintenance intervals ranging from 1 month to 2 years.

The optimum length of the service interval depends on the operating conditions at the place of installation and on your requirements.

Cleaning

!Unplug the equipment from the AC

adapter or power supply before cleaning.

$ Observe your company’s internal

regulations as well as standard industry guidelines with regard to cleaning intervals and cleaning agents.

$ If the scale is located in a dry room,

wipe down the weighing platform with a damp cloth. You can use common household cleaning agents. Follow the cleaning agent manufacturer’s instructions.

!Never use concentrated acids, alkali

solutions, solvents or pure alcohol to clean the equipment.

$ If the scale is located in a wet room,

clean the weighing platform from above with a weak water jet (max. 60°C).

!Do not use high-pressure cleaning

equipment to clean the weighing platform.

> If the water that you use to clean the

weighing platform is too hot or too cold, the difference in temperature between the water and the weighing platform can cause condensation within the weighing platform. This condensation can lead to malfunctions in the equipment.

$ If the weighing platform is installed in a

pit, make sure that no dirt accumulates between the edge of the pit and the weighing platform. This will help prevent measuring errors.

$ Regularly remove all dirt from the floor

of the pit.

Declaration of Conformity

C Marking on Sartorius Equipment

In 1985, the Council of the European Community approved a resolution concerning a new approach to the technical harmonization and standardization of national regulations. The organization for monitoring compliance with the directives and standards concerning the C marking is governed in the individual EU Member States through the implementation of the EC Directives adopted by the respective national laws. As of December 1993, the scope of validity for all EC Directives has been extended to the Member States of the European Union and the Signatories of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Sartorius complies with the EC Directives and European Standards in order to supply its customers with weighing instruments and related equipment that feature the latest technology and provide many years of trouble-free service. The C marking may be affixed only to weighing instruments and associated equipment that comply with the following Directives:
