Operating Design
The balances in the Master
pro
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 balance 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 Master
pro
balances follows a uniform “philosophy” which is described in this manual.
Where not expressly indicated otherwise, the uses described in this manual apply to verified and verifiable balance versions (indicated by the suffix “-0CE” in the model number), as well as the standard version.
Combination of Several Applications
You can combine the use of various application programs to meet your more complicated requirements.
To select application programs one after the other, press D (toggle function).
Safety Precautions
This balance has been constructed in accordance with the European Directives as well as international regulations and standards for operation of electrical equipment, electromagnetic compatibility, and stipulated safety requirements. Improper use or handling, however, can result in damage and/or injury.

Storage and Shipping Conditions
Allowable storage temperature: +0 °C ...+40 °C +32°F ...+104°F
The packaging has been designed to ensure that the balance will not be damaged even if it is dropped from a height of 80 centimeters (about 31 inches).
Unpacking the Balance
After unpacking the balance,
check it immediately for any visible damage as a result of rough handling during shipment.
$ If this is the case, proceed
as directed in the chapter entitled “Care and Maintenance,” under the section on “Safety Inspection.”
It is a good idea to save the box nd all parts of the packaging until you have successfully installed your
balance. Only the original
packaging
provides the best protection for shipment. Before packing your balance, unplug all connected cables to prevent damage. The strip of cardboard between the display and control unit and the weighing platform is important for protecting the equip­ment during shipment!
Important Note Concerning Verified Balances Approved for Use as Legal Measuring Instru­ments in the EU*:
Provided that an official seal is required for the verified balance, a control seal is affixed to the balance. This seal will be irreparably damaged if you attempt remove it. If the seal is broken, the validity of the verification will become void and you must have your balance re-verified.

Installation Instructions
The Sartorius Master
pro
balances are designed to provide reliable weighing results under normal ambient conditions in the laboratory and in industry. When choosing a location to set up your balance, observe the following so that you will be able to work with added speed and accuracy:
– Set up the balance on a stable,
even surface
– Avoid placing the balance in
close proximity to a heater or otherwise exposing the balance to heat or direct sunlight
– Protect the balance from drafts
hat come from open windows or doors
– Avoid exposing the balance
to extreme vibrations during weighing
– Protect the balance from
aggressive chemical vapors
– Do not expose the balance
to extreme moisture over long periods
Conditioning the Balance
Moisture in the air can condense on the surfaces of a cold balance whenever it is brought into a substantially warmer place. If you transfer the balance 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 balance connected to AC power, the continuous positive difference in temperature between the inside of the balance and the outside will practically rule out the effects of moisture condensation.
Monitoring Ambient Conditions When Using Verified Balances Approved for Use as Legal Measuring Instruments in the EU*:
$ For balances of accuracy class
k, a thermometer and baro-
meter are recommended for monitoring ambient conditions.

– with a user-defined weight
Ext. cal./adj.; user-defined wt.
The adjustment can be performed – automatically following
calibration: Cal., then
auto adjust. or

operation can be started manually after calibration: Cal., then
manual adjust
You can also configure whether the calibration mode – will be activated according
to the specific setting (external/ internal) or
– can be selected by the user after
pressing the Cal soft key:
Selection mode.
You can have the balance 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 balance to perform calibration and adjustment automatically (isoCAL) when the pre-set time and/or temperature limit is reached On
and reset application
and On without resetting
app.
You can have the calibration/ adjustment results documented in a ISO/GLP/GMP-compliant printout; see page 126.
Calibration, Adjustment, Linearization
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 balan­ce.
Adjustment is the correction of this dif­ference between the measured value displayed and the true weight (mass) of the sample, or the reduction of the difference to an allowable level wit­hin maximum permissible error limits.
Linearization is the procedure used to eliminate the deviation from weight readout plotted on the balance’s ideal characteristic calibration curve and the actual weight readout. In other words, linearization reduces the amo­unt of error of a weight displayed to its maximum permissible error limits. The ideal characteristic curve is a straight line plotted between zero load and maximum load.
Using Verified Balances as Legal Measuring Instruments in the EU*:
Before using your balance as a legal measuring instrument, you must perform “internal calibration” at the place of installation after the warmup period.

Balance menu. The “isoCAL” display automatically begins flashing if the ambient temperature changes in relation to the temperature at the time of the last calibration/adjustment, or after a defined time interval has elapsed. The balance is telling you that it wants to adjust itself. This automatic calibration prompt is triggered when: – The change in temperature or
the elapsed time interval is greater than that shown in the table at the right
The balance status does not corre-
spond to Setup configurations
– No number or letter input is active – The load has not been changed
within the last 2 minutes
The balance has not been operated within the last 2 minutes
– The load on the balance does
not exceed 2% of the maximum capacity
– When you turn on the balance
after it had been disconnected from power (only on verified balances with a readability of 0.1 mg)
When these requirements are met, C is displayed in the measured value line. If the balance is not operated and the load is not changed, internal calibration and adjustment starts after 15 seconds have elapsed.
Automatic Calibration and Adjustment at Set Times*
Select either On and reset
application or On without resetting app. (factory set-
ting) in the Setup menu. In the Setup: Input menu, you can
now enter up to three different times of day for automatic calibration/ adjustment. When one of these times is reached, the balance will display the flashing calibration prompt (“isoCAL”). Calibration/adjustment is not performed if the balance is
off or in the Setup mode at the time set for calibration.
If the balance is being operated at the time set for automatic calibration/ adjustment, the calibration/ adjustment sequence is prompted afterward.
Automatic calibration/ adjustment is prompted at set times when: – The set time is reached – The balance status does not
correspond to Setup configurations
– No alphanumeric input is active
(e.g., equation for calculation)
– The load has not been changed
within the last 2 minutes
– The balance has not been
operated within the last 2 minutes
– The load on the balance does
not exceed 2% of the maximum capacity
When these requirements are met, C is displayed in the measured value line.
If the balance is not operated and the load is not changed, internal calibration and adjustment starts after 15 seconds have elapsed.
In the Setup menu, you can configure the balance so that after calibration and adjustment
– the application program
is restarted On and reset
the application
– the application program remains
at its previous status
On without resetting the app.

Determination of the Repeatability (reproTEST)
Definition
Repeatability is the ability of the balance to display identical readouts when it is loaded several times with the same weight under constant ambient conditions. The standard deviation for a given number of measurements is used to quantify the repeatability.
Purpose
The “reproTEST” function auto­matically determines the reproducibility of results (based on 6 individual measurements). In this way, the balance determines one of the most important quantities in relation to the place of installation. The results are displayed with the balance’s accuracy.

Preparation
To calculate a piece count, the average weight of one piece must be known. This average piece weight can be entered into the Counting program in one of three ways:
– Enter the average piece weight using the numeric keys and store it;
– The last reference sample quantity entered is loaded and displayed when
you turn on the balance. Place the same number of parts on the balance and initialize the Counting program;
– With automatic initialization parameter on (Setup: App: Basic settings:
Auto start app when power is switched on: On), the balance goes into the “Counting” mode when you turn it on and loads the last average piece weight and corresponding reference sample quantity that were entered or calculated.
Reference Sample Updating
You can have the average piece weight updated during counting (with the piece count displayed) if “AWP update” is set to “manual” or “automatic” in the Setup menu. Manual updating can only be performed when the Update soft key is displayed. Reference sample updating must be completed before using an application program from Application 3.
The Update soft key is displayed when:
– the balance has reached stability (stability symbol displayed)
– the current piece count is less than double the original piece count
– the current piece count is less than 100
– the internally calculated piece count (e.g., 17.24) differs from the nearest
whole number (here: 17) by less than 0.3
Reference updating can be repeated several times with an approximately doubled piece count.
To perform reference updating: Press the Update soft key

Weighing in Percent B
Purpose
This application program allows you to obtain weight readouts in percent which are in proportion to a reference weight.
Alternatively, you can have the value displayed as a difference in percent between the weight on the balance and the reference weight, or as a special ratio1 or ratio2.
You can use the “Weighing in Percent” application in combination with a program chosen from Application 2 (checkweighing, time-controlled functions) and one from Application 3 (totalizing, formulation, statistics) as well as with the extra functions.
Available Features
– Reference percentage “pRef”
loaded from long-term memory when you turn on the balance
– Optional balance configuration in
Setup for automatically initializing this application and loading the most recent reference percentage “pRef” entered with reference weight “Wxx%” when you turn on the balance (Setup: App: Basic settings: Auto start app when power is switched on: On).
– Value displayed as:
– Residual quantity (portion) – Difference (deviation) – Ratio1 – Ratio2 depending on the selected Setup menu code.
– Reference percentage “pRef”
entered manually
– Store the current weight as the
reference percentage weight “Wxx%” for initializing the weighing-in-percent application program
– Reference weight “Wxx%”
entered manually
– Storage parameter (rounding-off
factor) for storing the reference weight “W100%” in percentage calculation can be configured
– Configuration of decimal places
displayed with a percentage
– Optional configuration for having
the reference weight “Wxx%” and reference percentage automatically output via the data interface port after initialization (print application parameters) (Select Setup: App: Basic settings: Printout configuration: Auto print upon initialization: On, all values)

Preparation
To calculate a value in percent, the reference percentage must be known. This value can be entered into the weighing-in-percent program in one of three ways:
– The last reference percentage entered is loaded and displayed when
you turn on the balance. Place the corresponding weight on the balance and initialize the weighing-in-percent program;
– With automatic initialization switched on (Setup: App: Basic settings: Auto
start app when power is switched on: On), the balance goes into the “weighing in percent” mode when you turn it on and loads the last refer­ence percentage entered as well as the corresponding reference weight;
– Enter the reference weight using the numeric keys and store it
(Wxx% soft key).

Purpose
Use this program to determine the weights of unstable samples (e.g., live animals) or to determine weights under unstable ambient conditions. In this program, the balance calculates the weight as the average of a defined number of individual weighing operations. These weighing operations are also known as “subweighing operations.”
You can use the “Animal Weighing” application in combination with a program chosen from Application 2 (checkweighing, time-controlled functions) and one from Application 3 (totalizing, formulation, statistics) as well as with the extra functions.

Recalculation
Purpose
With this application program you can compensate for over-poured components in formulation.
If a component is over-poured when weighing in the individual formulation components, the mixture already poured cannot be used in its current composition. To avoid having to discard the materials weighed, you can adjust the proportions of the formulation to compensate for the over-pour.
When you use this application, the recalculation procedure is mainly performed by the scale.
You can use the “Recalculation” application in combination with a program chosen from Application 2 (checkweighing, time-controlled functions) and one from Application 3 (totalizing, formulation, statistics) as well as with the extra functions.
Available Features
– Individual components (up to 99)
weighed in with a readout showing from “0” to the desired component weight
– Transaction counter shows the
next component expected
– Weighed components are stored,
followed by automatic printout and taring
– Additive weighing of components
with printout
– Toggle the display between
component weight and total formulation weight (additive mode) after first component is stored
– Stored component weight
displayed as true net weight for 2 seconds
– Enter a divisor before or during
component weighing. For example, if the formulation has a total weight of 100 g, enter the divisor 10 to weigh in a total formulation of 1,000 g.
– If a component is over-poured,
you can use the recalculation function to change the amount of this component indicated in the formulation by using plus or minus keys or numeric input. The balance calculates a factor by which all other component amounts will then be adjusted according to the desired component value.
– Recalculation factor displayed
in the text line, with a warning symbol if the factor is not equal to 1.
– All components displayed with
number and the amount (by weight) to be added in follow-on filling. Components displayed in sequence by the scale.
– Display of actual net weight
during follow-on filling
– After the amounts of the
components already weighed have been corrected, weighing continues according to the adjusted formulation amount. The readout is recalculated (updated) according to the divisor.
– You can repeat the over-pour
correction procedure as often as necessary, in case other components are over-poured.
– After follow-on (corrective) filling,
the total amount differs from that given for the formulation, but the proportion of components in relation to each other is the same.
– You can have the weight printed
after each measurement
– Individual component weights are
printed as “Compxx.”
– Press c to exit the application
program. The component memory is cleared and the sum of components printed as “S-Comp.”
– Toggle between the recalculation
program and other applications (e.g., checkweighing) by pressing D.

Equations Used to Determine Density:
Buoyancy: Rho = (Wa x (Rhofl – LA)) ÷ ((Wa – Wfl) x Corr) + LA
For the buoyancy method, a factor of 0.99983 (factory setting) is used to allow for the buoyancy caused by the bars of the sample holder of the YDK 01 (LP) Density Determination Kit. This factor is yielded by allowing for this equation:
buoyancy of bars = 2 x d2÷ D2(Wa – Wfl)
The equation takes the following variables into consideration: the number of wires or bars, the wire/bar diameter of the sample holder, and the inner diameter of the vessel used.
The factor 0.99983 is yielded by 1 – 2 x d2÷ D
2
where: 2 = number of wires/bars
d = wire/bar diameter (0.7 mm*) D = inner diameter of the vessel (76 mm*)
If you are using different vessels or other density kits, press the Param. soft key to enter any necessary changes in this calculation factor.
To determine the density of a solid according to the buoyancy method with our YDK 01 (LP) Density Determination Kit, make sure to use the beaker with a 76 mm diameter.
Displacement: Rho = (Wa x (Rhofl – LA)) ÷ (Wfl x Corr) + LA
For the displacement method, a factor of 1.00000 (factory setting) is used to allow for the buoyancy caused by a wire suspended in the liquid.
If you are using different vessels or other density kits, press the Param. soft key to enter any necessary changes in this calculation factor.
The equation takes the following variables into consideration: the number of wires or bars, the wire/bar diameter of the sample holder, and the inner diameter of the vessel used.
This factor is yielded by: Corr = 1 – χ x d2÷ D
2
where: χ = number of wires
d = wire diameter D = inner diameter of the vessel
with: Rhofl = density of the reference liquid
Wa = weight of sample in air Wfl = weight of the sample in liquid/buoyancy of sample Corr = correction for buoyancy produced by the immersed
wires or bars of the sample holder:
0.99983 for the buoyancy method 1 for the displacement method
LA = correction for air buoyancy = 0.0012 g/ccm
Pycnometer: Rho = (Wa x (Rhofl – LA)) ÷ (Wfl + Wa – Wr) + LA
where: Rhofl = density of the reference liquid
Wa = weight of the sample Wfl = weight of the reference liquid Wr = weight of sample + the reference liquid LA = correction for air buoyancy = 0.0012 g/ccm

Checkweighing H
Purpose
This program is used to check whether a sample corresponds to a pre-set target value or is within a specific tolerance range. In addition to the display in the measured value line, the results are shown on the bar graph and can also be routed through the interface port via control lines for further electronic processing.
You can use the Checkweighing application in combination with a program chosen from Application 1 (e.g., counting, weighing in percent) and one from Application 3 (totalizing, formulation, statistics).
Available Features
– Optional configuration in
the Setup menu for long-term storage of target value and tolerance limits
– Optional balance configuration
in Setup for automatically initializing this application and loading the values stored in long term memory for the target value and the upper and lower tolerance limits when you turn on the balance
You can perform checkweighing
without entering a target value,
but only upper and lower tolerance limits;
as differential checkweighing;with symmetric or asymmetric
limits which can be entered as percentages
– Enter target value and limits by
placing a load on the balance or using the numeric keys
– Control in entering target and
tolerance values, so that the upper limit the target the lower limit 1 display increment
– Accuracy of a weight readout or
keyboard input as target/tolerance values corresponds to the display accuracy
– Optional balance configuration in
the Setup menu for automatic output to the interface port (print application parameters) of target value and tolerance limits when initialization is completed
– Control range for the balances
data output port lines is 30% to 170% of the target value
– Optional configuration in the
Setup menu for activation of control lines dependent on weight value (weight value within control range, stability reached)
– Toggling the display between
weight readout and control (checkweighing) display by pressing the corresponding soft key. If the weight value exceeds tolerances, the measured value line shows the weight while the control display shows LL for
too low or HH for too high.
Press the Show soft key to display
target value and tolerance limits in the text line after initializing the application.
– Weight value in bar graph
displayed in relation to upper and lower limits and target value.
–“OK value counter displayed in
the text line (e.g., n = 4). This counter shows the number of measured values that lie within the tolerance range.
– Optional automatic printout of
weight value when it is within the control range at stability
After an automatic printout, the balance is blocked. Before you can generate the next printout, you must unblock the balance by unloading it (weight must be under 30% of the target) or by placing a load on the balance (bringing the weight up to at least 170% of the target).
– Press c to delete the
initialization parameters and end the Checkweighing program

79
Preparation
The checkweighing program often requires a target value for comparison with the current value. This target has a tolerance range, which is defined by absolute weight values. The tolerance range is defined as either an absolute value or a percentage with upper and lower limits. Percentage values can be symmetric or asymmetric to the target value. These values can be entered either by storing weights on the balance or by key input.
There are four control lines, called data output port lines, which are activated as follows: (see also the diagram at the right):
lighter
equal
heavier
set
The control range spans 30% to 170% of the target value. You can configure this parameter in the Setup menu (App: Application 2: Checkweighing: Activation of port lines:) to select whether the control lines are:
activated within the control range
always on
activated at stability within the
control range
– activated at stability
This makes it possible, for example, to connect a simple indicator for the weighing results (e.g., three different colors, one each for the weighing results: too light, O.K., too heavy).

Statistics N
Purpose
With this application program you can have weight values and calculated values totalized and statistically evaluated.
The values determined for the evaluation are:
– average – standard deviation – variation coefficient – sum of all values – lowest value (minimum) – highest value (maximum) – difference between the minimum
and the maximum
You can use the “Statistics” application in combination with a program chosen from Application 1 (e.g., counting, weighing in percent) and one from Application 2 (check­weighing, time-controlled functions) as well as with the extra functions.
Available Features
– Storage of weight values and
calculated values
– Simultaneous storage of net and
calculated values
– Optional configuration in the
Setup menu for loading weight values and calculated values either from Application 1 (e.g., counting, weighing in percent) or from Application 2 (checkweigh­ing, time-controlled functions)
– Totalization memory for up to
65535 values
– Simultaneous display in the text
line of transaction counter and, e.g., the current total
– Optional configuration in
the Setup menu for having the balance tare automatically after a value is stored in the totalization memory
– Manual input of the number of
individual weighing operations (target no. of operation nDef). Result printed and memory cleared after printout of nDef.
– Optional configuration in the
Setup menu to add the current weight, with display accuracy, to the current total by pressing the M+ soft key and generate a printout of the result
– Optional configuration in the
Setup menu for stability-dependent storage of the measured value: Balance functions: Stability
