Operating Design
Operating Design
The scales in the Factory Series
consist of a weighing cell and a
display and control unit.
In addition to the choice of power
supply (via AC adapter or external
rechargeable battery pack), your
scale also has an interface port for
connecting a printer, computer
or universal remote control switch.
The display and control unit and the
weighing cell can be set up
separately. Operation of Factory
balances follows a uniform
“philosophy” which is described in
this manual.
Unless otherwise specified, the
information also refers to scale
versions verified or verifiable for use
in legal metrology (identified by the
suffix: 0CE).
Keys
The functions used most often
are assigned to their own specific
keys. There are additional
keys for assignment of other (multiple)
functions, in some cases
dependent on the current operating
status (so-called “soft keys”).
Each key is described in detail in
the chapter entitled “Overview.”

Installation Instructions
Sartorius Factory Series Scales
are designed to provide reliable
weighing results under normal
operating conditions. 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:
– Set up the scale on a stable,
even surface
– Avoid placing the scale in close
proximity to a heater or otherwise
exposing the scale to heat or
direct sunlight
– Protect the scale from direct
exposure to drafts that come from
open windows or doors
– Avoid exposing the scale to
extreme vibration during weighing
– Protect the scale from aggressive
chemical vapors
– Do not expose the scale to
extreme moisture
Conditioning the Scale
Moisture in the air can condense
on the surfaces of a cold scale whenever it is moved 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 continuous positive
difference in temperature between
the inside of the scale and the
outside will practically rule out the
effects of moisture condensation.
Seal on Scales Verified for Use in
Legal Metrology in the EU*:
EU legislation requires that a control
seal be affixed to the verified scale.
The control seal consists of a sticker
with the “Sartorius” logo. This seal
will be irreparably damaged if you
attempt to remove it. If the seal is
broken, the validity of the verification
will become void, and you must
have your scale re-verified.

External Calibration for Scales
Verified for Legal Metrology
in the EU*
– External calibration is blocked
when the scale is used in legal
metrology
> External calibration is possible
only after you have removed
the verification control seal, in
which case the validity of the
verification becomes void and the
scale must be re-verified
– External calibration can now
be performed
Factory Settings
Calibration/adjustment mode:
Internal calibration/adjustment
(1 9 4)
Calibration/adjustment sequence:
Calibration; adjustment, if necessary
(isoCAL function): (1 10 2)
Automatic initiation of calibration/
adjustment (isoCAL function):
Off (1 15 1)
ISO/GMP printout: off (8 10 1)
Available Features
Your scale can be calibrated
externally (menu item 1 9 1 or1 9 3)
or internally (1 9 4).
External calibration can
be performed
– with the pre-set weight value
(1 9 1), or
– with a user-defined weight value
(1 9 3)
Adjustment can be performed
– automatically following calibration
(1 10 1); or
– if desired, the adjustment
operation can be started manually after calibration (1 10 2)
You can also configure whether
the calibration mode
– will be activated according
to the specific setting (by setting
1 9 1, 1 9 3 or 1 9 4), or
– can be selected by the user after
pressing the [ISOTEST]/[TEST]
key (1 9 12).
You can have the scale automatically
display an adjustment prompt after
a certain time interval has elapsed
since the last calibration/adjustment
or when the ambient temperature
changes by a defined amount.
You can also configure the scale
to perform calibration and
adjustment automatically (isoCAL)
when the pre-set time and/or
temperature limit is reached
(1 15 3 and 1 15 5).
You can have the calibration/
adjustment results documented in
an ISO/GMP-compliant printout.
> For the maximum values required
to start calibration/adjustment
when you use a preload or a
conveyor system, refer to the
section “Overview –
Specifications”.
Calibration/Adjustment
“isoTEST”
Purpose
Calibration is the determination
of the difference between the
weight readout and the true weight
(mass) of a sample. Calibration
does not entail making any changes
within the scale.
Adjustment is the correction of this
difference between the measured
value displayed and the true
weight (mass) of the sample, or the
reduction the difference to an
allowable level within the maximum
permissible error limits.
Using Verified Scales as Legal
Measuring Instruments in the EU*:
Before using your scale as
a legal measuring instrument, you
must perform “internal calibration”
at the place of installation after
the warmup period.

Inside the scale housing is a built-in,
motorized calibration weight.
The internal calibration/adjustment
sequence is as follows:
● Select the calibration function:
Press [ISOTEST]/[TEST]
> The internal calibration weight
is applied automatically
> The scale is calibrated
> If the setting for “Calibration
automatically followed by
adjustment” (1 10 1) has been
selected in the Setup menu, the
scale will now be automatically
adjusted
> The internal calibration weight
is removed
Calibration and Adjustment Sequence
In the Setup menu, you can configure
the scale so that:
– calibration is always followed
automatically by adjustment
(cal. -> auto adjust, 1 10 1), or
– you have the choice of ending
the sequence or starting adjustment after calibration
(cal. -> man. adjust, 1 10 2).
If no deviation is determined during
calibration, or the deviation is within
the tolerance limits dictated by the
degree of accuracy you require,
it is not necessary to adjust the scale.
In this case, you can end the
calibration/adjustment sequence
after calibration. There are 2 soft
keys active at this point:
– ext. adjust or int. adjust
to start adjustment
– end to end the sequence
