With this Sartorius balance, you have acquired
a high-quality electronic weighing instrument that will
ease your daily workload.

Please read through these installation and
operating instructions carefully before operating
your new balance.

In the first part of these installation and operating
instructions, it is assumed that you are using the factory­set menu codes.

Warranty

Do not miss out on the benefits of our full warranty.
Please complete the warranty registration card,
indicating the date of installation, and return the card
to your Sartorius office or dealer.

Storage and Shipping Conditions

Allowable storage temperature:
+5°C ... +40 °C
+41°F ...+104°F

The packaging has been designed to ensure that
the balance will not get damaged even if it is dropped
from a height of 80 cm max. (about 32 inches).

Carefully unpack the balance and check the
equipment immediately for any visible damage
as a result of rough handling during shipment.
If this is the case, proceed as directed in the section
entitled “Safety Inspection.”

1–6

Save the box and all parts of the packaging in case
you need to ship your balance. For shipping your
balance, disconnect all cables before packing. Use
only the complete original standard packaging to
prevent damage to the equipment during shipment.

Do not expose the balance unnecessarily to extreme
temperatures, moisture, shocks, blows or vibrations.

Installation Instructions

Ambient Conditions

Your Sartorius balance will provide accurate readouts
even when it is exposed to unfavorable conditions.

Please choose a suitable place to set up your balance.
It should not be exposed to the following:

– extreme heat radiation
– drafts
– extreme vibrations
– aggressive chemical atmospheres

The balance may not be used in hazardous
areas/locations where there is danger of explosion.

Do not expose the balance to extreme moisture
over long periods. Moisture in the air can condense
on the surfaces of a cold balance whenever it is
brought to 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. 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.

You can adapt the balance to your requirements
simply by changing the code settings in the balance
operating menu. For more information, please see
Part 2, “Balance Operating Menu.”

1–7

Using Verified Balances as Legal Measuring
Instruments in the EU*
You must calibrate the balance at the place
of installation before using it as a legal measuring
instrument (see the section entitled “Adjustment/

Calibration” starting on page 1–19).
This balance is not allowed to be used for weighing

goods intended for direct sale to the public. The
type-approval certificate for verification applies only
to non-automatic weighing instruments; for
automatic operation with or without auxiliary
measuring devices, you must comply with the
regulations of your country applicable to the place
of installation of your balance. A suitable
thermometer and barometer are recommended for
monitoring ambient conditions.

For balances of accuracy class k, a thermometer
and barometer are recommended for monitoring
ambient conditions. The temperature range
indicated on the verification ID label must not be
exceeded during operation.

The balance must warm up for at least 24 hours

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

1–8

Sartorius complies with EC Directive No. 90/384/
EEC for non-automatic weighing instruments,
which has been in effect since January 1, 1993,
within the Single European Market, as well as
the accreditation of the Quality Management
System of Sartorius AG by Lower Saxony’s
Regional Administrative Department of Legal
Metrology (Niedersächsische Landesverwaltungs­amt – Eichwesen) from February 15, 1993.

Getting Started

Important Note Concerning All 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. Unauthorized attempts to remove this
seal will irreversibly damage it. If you break
the seal, the validity of the verification will become
void, and you must have your balance re-verified.

Preparing the AC Series Balance

In the following order, install the draft shield base
plate (4), the shield plate (3), the protective ring (2)
and the weighing pan (1) one at a time in the
weighing chamber.

Remove the white backing from the adhesive strips on
the dust cover. Attach the dust cover to the base of the
balance by gently pressing down on the adhesive strips.

Place the pan draft shield (28) (depending on the
model) and the weighing pan (1) on the balance.

Important Note:

Double check to make sure that the base dust cover
does not touch the weighing pan.

Preparing an LC Series Balance
with a Capacity Greater Than 12 kg

Place the weighing pan (1) on the balance.

Connecting the Balance to AC Power

The balance is powered by an AC adapter.
Make sure that the voltage rating printed on this unit
is identical to that of your local voltage.
If the voltage specified on the label or the plug design
of the AC adapter does not match the rating or
standard you use, please contact your Sartorius office
or dealer.
Use only original Sartorius AC adapters. Use of
AC adapters from other manufacturers, even if these
units have an approval identification marking from
a national testing laboratory, requires the consent of
a certified Sartorius service technician.

1–10

Plug the cord of the AC adapter into the balance.

230 V~ 115 V~

Then insert the plug of the AC adapter in a wall outlet.

Follow this procedure for the following balances:

AC and LC series balances with a capacity
less than12 kg

LC series balances with a capacity greater
than 12 kg:
Insert the right-angle plug in the power
receptacle (19) as shown, then tighten the slotted
screw with a screwdriver.

Now plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet.
Voltage Selection

(does not apply to balances with a capacity greater
than 12 kg)
You can select the voltage only if you use our portable
power supply (6971172) that has a European-type
plug (rounded prongs).

Connecting Electronic Devices (Peripherals)

Make sure to unplug the AC adapter from the wall
outlet before you connect or disconnect a peripheral
device (printer or PC) to or from the interface port
of the balance.

Safety Precautions

The AC adapter, rated to Class 2 (double insulation),
can be plugged into a wall outlet without taking
any additional safety precautions. The pole of the
output voltage is connected to the balance housing,
which can be grounded for operation.
The interface is also electrically connected to the
balance housing (ground).

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
interference to radio communications. It has been
tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
A computing device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15
of FCC rules, which are designed to provide
reasonable protection against such interference, when
operated in a commercial environment. Operation
of this equipment in a residential area is likely
to cause interference, in which case the user, at his
own expense, will be required to take whatever
measures may be required to correct the interference.

Adjusting the Display Unit of an LC Series Balance
with a Capacity Greater Than 12 kg

Tilt the display unit to adjust it to the position
you desire.

1–12

Information on Weighing Electrostatically Charged Samples

Problems with static electricity can occur in
environments with low humidity. To avoid these
problems when you use your balance in such
an area, wipe down the entire draft shield on both
the inside and outside with a commercially
available antistatic agent.

If you need to use electrostatically charged glass or
plastic containers that have a relatively large diameter
with balances that have a readability of 0.1mg,
you should utilize our antistatic pan (155 mm Ø –
see “Accessories” in Part 6) instead of the standard
weighing pan.

Leveling the Balance Using the Level Indicator

At the point of use, level the balance using the

leveling feet (21) as follows so that the air bubble is

centered within the circle of the level indicator (17):
Screw in the auxiliary foot (22) located on the front

right-hand side of the balance.

To level the balance using the level indicator
as a guide:

Extend the leveling feet (turn clockwise) to lift
the balance.
Retract the feet (turn counterclockwise) to lower
the balance.

Afterwards, extend the auxiliary foot (22) until it
touches

the surface on which the balance is resting.

1–13

Operating the Balance

Warmup Time

After initially connecting the balance to AC power
(or after a relatively long power outage), the balance
will need to warm up for at least 30 minutes.

Turning the Display On and Off (Standby Mode) Press the e key (14) to turn the display on and off.

Self-Test

After the balance has been turned on, an automatic

self-test of theelectronic circuitry will be performed.

The self-test ends with a zero readout; the balance is
then ready to operate.

1–14

Important Note Concerning Verified
Balances/Scales Approved for Use as Legal
Measuring Instruments in the EU:

For verified balances that have a verification scale
interval “e” which is greater than the scale interval
“d,” the last digit on the display is bordered.

The weight display shows the following special codes
for your information:

OFF

The balance was disconnected from AC power
(i.e., power failure or outage; the balance
was disconntected, then reconnected to AC power).

O (STANDBY)

The display has been turned off using the e key (14),

and the balance is now in the ready-to-operate mode
and does not require warmup.

b (BUSY)

Once you have turned on the balance, the b symbol
will remain displayed until you press a key. During
operation, this symbol indicates that the balance
processor is still busy processing a given function and
will not accept another command to perform any
other function at this time.

R1 or R2

The number in the R code identifies the particular
weighing range you have selected.

W

Symbol for the selected application (in this case, the
weighing mode).

CAL I

The balance has an internal calibration weight.

1–15

Taring

A weight can be accurately measured only from

a defined zero point. Press one of the two t keys (10)

to zero the display. You can tare the display within
the entire weighing range.

Important Note Concerning Verified
Balances/Scales Approved for Use as Legal
Measuring Instruments in the EU:

The small circle on the left in the weight display
shows that the balance/scale has been exactly
tared to “0” (±0.25 of a scale interval).

Weighing

Place your sample on the weighing pan (1) to

determine the weight. Read off the weight indicated
in the display (6) only once the weight unit/stability
symbol (“g”, “kg” or a different unit as selected – see
Part 2, “Balance Operating Menu”) is indicated.

Important Note Concerning Verified
Balances/Scales of Accuracy Class k

To avoid measuring errors, the respective air density
must be allowed for. The following formula is used to
calculate the mass of the sample:

Weighing Range Structure
SuperRange

(identified by S in the model designation AC/LC.....S)

“Single wide-range balance”

SuperRange models have an extraordinarily high
resolution; i.e., the weighing range has a resolution
ranging from100,000 to a few million digits. There is
one level of fine readability for the entire weighing
range (for example: 0.01g).

DualRange

(identified by D in the model designation LC.....D)

2 weighing ranges: a fine range and a standard range

1000g 0.01g

4800g

3000g

0.00g

1600g

800g

0.1 g

0.05g

0.02g

0.01g

The balance automatically switches from the fine range
which is10 times more accurate (e.g.1,000 g
capacity – 0.01g readability) to the standard range
(e.g., a 3,200 g capacity – 0.1 g readability)
when the balance is loaded beyond the fine range
limit (>1,000 g).
The weight readout is displayed with the lower
readability of the standard range until you tare in the
fine range (<1,000 g).

PolyRange

(identified by P in the model designation AC/LC.....P)

PolyRange models have a wide weighing range
with multiple levels of accuracy that change as the
load increases or decreases.

The PolyRange function divides the weighing range
into as many as 4 ranges, each with a different
readability. In the various ranges, the readability will
adjust so that the last numeral of a weight readout
is displayed with a resolution of 1, 2, 5 or 10 digits
(10 = only the next to the last numeral displayed
changes; the last numeral is blanked).
After you press the tare key (10), you will obtain
the highest possible resolution, even when the balance
is loaded.

1–17

Weighing in the IQ-Mode*

(Load-Dependent Readability)

In the IQ-mode, weighing is done with a load­dependent readability of 0.1% (for different settings,
see part 2, “Balance Operating Menu”) throughout
the entire weighing range of the balance. The display
resolution of the last digit changes in increments of 1,2,
5,10, 20, etc., in proportion to the weight of a sample.

Oftentimes, a display accuracy of 2 grams
is sufficient for a load of approx. 2 kg. In this case, it
makes sense to select weighing range R 2 with an
accuracy of 0.1% by pressing the w key (8). While
you are filling up to a target weight, it is certainly
easier to work with a target of 2220 g than with an
absolutely accurate readout of 2219.92 g.

1–18

By selecting the IQ-mode for automatic adaption
of the display accuracy, you will obtain stable weight
readouts even faster.
In daily laboratory routines, analyses must often be
performed with a certain accuracy. The IQ-mode
meets this requirement – on an analytical balance, it
gives you the full accuracy of all 4 decimal places for
initial sample weights below1g, whereas for heavier
samples (of100 g or more), it provides a lower
readability, which is sufficient:

Initial sample weight Readout
Below 1 g → 0.9876 g

Above 100 g → 123.4 g
For other readabilities (0.01% – 1%) see page 2–11

of the “Balance Operating Menu.”

* = not applicable to verified balances approved for

use as legal measuring instruments in Europe; on
GC 1201G scales, menu code 3 2 9 must be set

Adjustment/Calibration

During calibration1), the balance is adapted to
changes in ambient conditions.
You should recalibrate your balance each time you
set it up in a different area or when the ambient
conditions (such as the temperature or the barometric
pressure) have changed.

Independent of such changes, you should calibrate
balances acceptable for legal metrological
verification at least once a day (i.e., even when
the ambient conditions remain constant). To meet the
highest requirements for accurate weighing, we
recommend that you calibrate the balance before
each weighing series.

The balance offers you various calibration functions.
The function you select is indicated in the display
by one of the following codes:

“CAL” : calibration function is activated
“C– I” : internal calibration
“C– E” : external calibration
“C– t” : sensitivity test
“CAL I”: the balance has an internal

calibration weight

You can use the c key (13) to interrupt any
calibration process.

1

) “Calibration” technically means to determine

the difference between the balance readout and
the actual weight on the pan to determine the
accuracy. Adjustment means to bring a balance
into the state of accuracy required for its use.
Therefore, “calibration,” as used in this manual,
actually means “adjustment.”

1–19

The balance may or may not have an internal
calibration weight:
– On standard balances, it depends on the model

(see Part 6, “Specifications”)

– Verified balances generally have an internal

calibration weight

Using Verified Balances/Scales as Legal
Measuring Instruments in the EU:

Before using your balance as a legal measuring
instrument, you must carry out an “Internal
Calibration” operation at the place of installation
after the warmup period.

1–20

INTERNAL CALIBRATION
Quick-CAL Function Using the f Key:

Unload the pan and tare.
Once the display indicates a zero readout, press
the f key (7).
“C” will now be displayed. The built-in calibration
weight is internally applied by servomotor and
removed at the end of calibration.
If external interference affects the calibration
procedure, you may obtain a brief display of the error
message “Err 02.”
In this case, tare the display; then press the f key
again once a zero readout is indicated.
An acoustic signal indicates the end of calibration.

Internal Calibration Using the Tare Key:

2 sec.

Calibrate the balance using the tare control if an
application program (such as “tare memory”) is
assigned to the f key by menu code in the balance
operating menu (see parts 2 and 4).
Press the tare key (10) for at least 2 seconds until “C–I”
and “CAL” are displayed (next to the f key).

Unload the pan and tare.
Once the display indicates a zero readout, press
the f key (7).
“C” will now be displayed. The built-in calibration
weight is internally applied by servomotor and
removed at the end of calibration.
If external interference affects the calibration
procedure, you may obtain a brief display of the error
message “Err 02.”
In this case, tare the display; then press the f key
again once a zero readout is indicated.
An acoustic signal will indicate the end of the
calibration process.

!

Important Note:

The weighing pan must be left unloaded when using
the internal calibration function.

1–21

EXTERNAL CALIBRATION*

Use only calibration weights with the same
or better accuracy than that of the readability of your
particular balance.

Unlocking the Access Switch on Verified Balances/
Scales of Accuracy Class k:

– on balances with a capacity less than 12 kg,

remove the protective cap (5) on the front, right-hand
side of the unit

– on balances with a capacity greater than12 kg,

remove the large screw (5) located on the left-hand
side of the rear panel

– move the switch (5) in the direction of the arrow

2 sec.

Press the tare key (10) for at least 2 seconds until
“C– E” or “C– I” (only for balances with an internal
calibration weight) and “CAL” are displayed

SENSITIVITY TEST (special function for balances
with a built-in calibration weight)*

Rather substantial changes in barometric pressure
and temperature may affect the display response
of these highly accurate balances. To ensure that you
obtain the full accuracy of these balances, even
when you use the entire weighing range, we have
implemented a sensitivity test function. It will help
you decide quickly whether or not you need to
recalibrate your balance (for example, to maintain the
same accuracy during long-term weighing series).

“C– t” stands for “calibration sensitivity test.”
Once the display indicates a zero readout, press the

f key (7). The built-in calibration weight will now
be internally applied by servomotor. Then the
deviation of the current readout from the target weight
(displayed in grams only) will be indicated.

If external interference affects the calibration test,
you may obtain a brief display of the error message
“Err 02.”
In this case, tare the display; then press the f key

Data Interface

If you wish to record your weighing results using
a Sartorius Data Printer, plug the printer connector into
the interface port (20) of the balance.You do not
need to adjust any settings.

Important Note for Balance/Scale Models Verified
for Use as Legal Measuring Instruments:

When using the balance/scale as a legal
measuring instrument (legal for trade), you are
allowed to connect to it only peripherals authorized
by law. However, if you are not using the
balance/scale as a legal measuring instrument, you
may connect to it any peripherals you wish, e.g.,
additional displays, personal computer, etc. Such
peripherals must be marked to indicate that they are
not allowed to be used when the balance/scale is
being used as a legal measuring instrument.

Remove the protective cap from the data
interface port.

Caution:

Make sure to unplug the AC adapter from the wall
outlet before you connect or disconnect any
peripherals (printer or PC) to or from the interface port
of the balance.

To print data on hard copy or have them output on­screen on an on-line computer, press the p key (11).

For information on special data output parameters,
see “Utilities” in Part 2.

For details on the data interface (such as the
data output or input formats, pin assignment, etc.)
or on interfacing a remote display, see Part 5,
“Interface Description.”

1–25

Interfacing Devices with the Balance

Please note that the interface port is electrically
connected to the protective grounding conductor
of the balance housing. The interface cables supplied
as standard equipment are shielded, and both ends
of each cable are electrically connected to the
connector cases. This connection may result in inter­ference caused by ground loops or by transient
currents if you have grounded the housing or
connected the protective grounding conductor
for line power. If necessary, connect an equipotential
bonding conductor to the balance.

1–26

Below-Balance Weighing

A port for a below-balance weighing hanger is
located on the bottom of the balance (for LC balances
with a capacity greater than 12 kg, see “Accessories”
in Part 6).

To fasten the hanger, open the below-balance port by
turning the cover plate.

Now you can attach a sample to the hook using a
suspension wire, for example. Common applications
for below-balance weighing include density
determination or immersing a sample in a special
atmosphere (medium for reaction).

When you use such below-balance weighing
hangers, you must install a draft shield (especially
on analytical balances).

Important Note for Verified Balances/Scales
Approved for Use as Legal Measuring Instruments
in the EU:

When a verified balance/scale is being used
as a legal measuring instrument, the below-balance
weighing port may not be opened.

Fastening an Antitheft Locking Device

To fasten an antitheft locking device, use the lug (18)
on the level indicator case of the balance.

Set up your balance at the point of use, and secure it
using a chain or lock.

Care and Maintenance

Servicing

Regular servicing by a Sartorius service technician
will extend the service life of your balance and insure
its continued weighing accuracy. Sartorius can
offer you service contracts with your choice of regular
maintenance intervals ranging from1month to 2 years.

Cleaning

Before cleaning the balance, unplug the AC adapter
from the wall outlet (mains supply).

Please do not use any aggressive cleaning agents
(solvents or similaragents). Instead, use a piece of cloth
which has been wet with a mild detergent (soap).

If your balance has a round glass draft shield,
avoid generating static electricity by wiping and
rubbing the glass. After cleaning, decharge the round
glass draft shield to eliminate static electricity, for
example, by wiping off all surfaces with a damp and
grounded piece of cloth.
Make sure that no liquid enters the balance housing.
After cleaning, wipe down the balance with a soft,
dry piece of cloth.

1–30

Changing the Dust Cover for LC Series Balances

If the dust cover is dirty, change it as follows:

– for round weighing pans (with or without a

round glass draft shield)

Remove the following parts from the balance:
– Draft shield lid (24)
– Glass cylinder (25)
– Weighing pan (1)
– Pan support disk (26)
Turn the centering disk (27) or the draft shield base
plate (4) until it snaps out of place and lift it off.
Then exchange the old dust cover for the new one.
Place the centering disk or the draft shield base plate
on the balance. Turn the disk or plate clockwise
until it snaps into place.

– forrectangular weighing pans with a capacity <12kg

Remove the following parts from the balance:
– Weighing pan (1)
– Pan draft shield (28) (depending on the model)
Detach the dust cover by peeling it off at the adhesive
strips. Remove all traces of adhesive.
Then remove the white backing from the adhesive
strips on the new dust cover. Attach the dust cover by

gently pressing down on the adhesive strips.

Safety Inspection

If there is any indication that safe operation of the
balance with the AC adapter is no longer warranted,
turn offthe power and disconnect the equipment from
AC power immediately. Lock the equipment in a secure
place to ensure that it cannot be used for the time being.

Safe operation of the balance with the AC adapter
is no longer ensured when
– there is visible damage to the AC adapter
– the AC adapter no longer functions properly
– the AC adapter has been stored for relatively

long periods under unfavorable conditions.

In this case, notify your nearest Sartorius Service
Center or the International Technical Support
Department based in Goettingen, Germany. Only
service technicians who are authorized by Sartorius
and have access to the required maintenance manuals
are allowed to perform maintenance and repairwork
on the equipment.
We recommend that the AC adapter be regularly
inspected by a qualified Sartorius service technician
according to the following checklist:
– Insulation resistance >7 megohms measured

with a constant voltage of at least 500 V
at a 500 kohm load

– Equivalent leakage current <0.05 mA measured by

a properly calibrated multimeter

Balance Operating Menu

This Sartorius balance can do much more than “just weigh.”
It can “think” in various units of measure, adapt to unfavorable conditions and
process weight data for a variety of applications.

In the operating menu, you can define how your balance will adapt to ambient
conditions, and also how it will work to meet your special requirements.

For your convenience, the menu codes have been factory-set so that you normally
do not have to make any changes. If you have special operating conditions,
adjust the balance to your individual requirements by setting the menu codes of
your choice.

The factory-set menu codes are identified by an “*.” You can select the functions not
identified by an “*” by setting the respective menu code.

Don’t worry!
Even if you’ve selected the “wildest” codes and totally thrown off all the code

settings you need, all you have to do is press a key to set things straight again.
Your balance will work just like it did when it left the factory – with the original
factory-set menu codes.

Important Note for Verified Balances/Scales Approved for Use as Legal
Measuring Instruments in the EU:

The balance/scale operating menu can also be changed when the balance/
scale is being used as a legal measuring instrument (legal for trade). As a rule,

Changing a Menu Code Setting

To select specific functions, you will need to set the
respective menu code.

There are three steps to changing a code setting:

– Accessing the menu
– Setting a code
– Confirming and storing the code

The keys have special functions for setting a menu
code. To set a code, use the four keys which are
defined on the display as arrow points to indicate
the direction:

– While all segments are displayed, briefly press the

tare key* (10)

– If -L- is displayed, unlock the menu as follows:
– on balances with a weighing range less than 12 kg,

remove the protective cap on the front, right-hand
side of the unit

– on balances with a weighing range greater than

12 kg, remove the large screw located on the

left-hand side of the rear panel to expose the menu
access switch (5)

– Move the switch (5) in the direction of the arrow.

– Press the p key to move to the middle number

– Now move from “1” to the right-hand number

(When you move to the right-hand number,
the previously set numeric code will be indicated).

– Press the f key to change the right-hand number

to “3”

– Press “TARE” to confirm the code setting

Important Note:
You must press the tare key in order to confirm
the code you have just set. This is indicated by the “o”

after the code.

– Press c to store the new menu code setting

The current code setting in the balance operating
menu is identified by a small “o” after the last number.
When you access the operating menu, the previously
set numeric code will be displayed after selecting
the left-hand and middle numbers, which means the
entire menu code setting is displayed. This makes
it easy for you to check the previously set menu codes.

If you would like to change several menu code
settings, you do not have to press c after each
change to leave the balance operating menu.

Important Note for Standard Balances:

Please do not forget to relock the balance operating
menu. The “-L-” indicates that it is currently locked:

You can lock the menu anytime you wish once you
have accessed it. However, it is best if you wait until
you have changed the last code setting.
To use the locking function, make sure code 8 1 2 is
set in the balance operating menu.
If code 8 1 1 is set, the menu access switch will
not lock.
In this case, “-C-“ will be displayed whenever you
access the menu:

Undoing All Menu Code Changes: Reset Function

Unstable conditions 1 1 3
Very unstable conditions 1 1 4

Standard Weighing Mode – Manual Filling Mode

You can optimally adapt your balance to meet either of these requirements.
In the manual filling mode, the display compensates for fluctuations of the load
on the balance so that you obtain a steadier readout.

Code

Weight Units

The “initial weight unit” is the unit in which your balance will weigh the moment you
turn it on. This unit is defined in the 1st range.
You can select a different unit for each weighing range by setting the appropriate
menu code.
Choose any weight unit you’d like, well almost any that’s reasonable for the
balance model you are using. For example, if you set the menu code for “kg”
on a 0.1 mg balance, you’ll obtain a readout sure enough, but the display
resolution might be slightly off.

Display Modes on Standard Balances

You can select the display mode that best meets your individual requirements.
The factory-set menu code is defined for the highest possible accuracy in the
1st weighing range. The menu code settings for all weighing ranges are listed
on the next page.

Final Readout Mode

If you are interested in the final readout only, you can select this mode by setting
code 2 5 1. A special symbol, “– –,” will be displayed in any weighing range until
the final stable readout is indicated. For the standard readout mode, set code
2 5 2 (all readouts).

Special readout mode “– –” Code
Special symbol “– –” for unstable readings when load changes 2 5 1
Standard digital readout mode * 2 5 2

Last Numeral Blanked When the Load Changes

As the load on your balance changes, the display resolution is reduced by a factor
of 10 so that you will obtain a faster and more stable readout.
In the process, the last numeral is blanked until the load stabilizes. Once the load
has stabilized, the readout is indicated again with the full display accuracy, which
means the last numeral is displayed.

Round-Off Function

You can define the level of accuracy by changing the display increments, also
called “scale intervals” (of the last numeral). The display increments possible are
as follows: 1, 2, 5,10, 20, 50, etc.
Starting with the basic increments of a weight unit, the display accuracy can
be reduced by as many as three levels so that you will obtain a faster readout with
a reduced display accuracy. Display accuracy is reduced in relation to the
selected basic increment of the weight unit. Example: weight unit “ct” for carats
(5 increments) with code setting 1 8 3 →10 increments.

To make this concept easier to understand, the three levels are designated as
“rounding factors” in the tables summarizing the various menu code settings.

IQ-Mode

(Load-Dependent Readability)
In the IQ-mode, weighing is done with a menu-definable, load-dependent

readability throughout the entire weighing range of your balance. In the process,
the display resolution of the last digit of the weight value changes in increments
of 1, 2, 5,10, 20, etc., in proportion to the weight of the sample.

* = factory setting

2–10

This mode for adapting the display accuracy enables you to weigh with a constant
relative accuracy between 1% and 0.01% over the entire weighing range
of your balance. Select the load-dependent display accuracy independently for
each of the three weighing ranges. The accuracy selected is shown in the top
right-hand corner of the application display field.

PolyRange Function (application for single-range balances) The PolyRange function divides a single weighing range into as many as

4 ranges, each with a different readability. In the various ranges, the readability
will adjust so that the last numeral of a weight readout is displayed with
a resolution of 1, 2, 5 or10 digits (10 digits = only the next to the last numeral
of the readout will change; the last numeral is blanked).
The PolyRange function makes filling easier because the readability becomes
slightly coarser as the load increases and you will not immediately lose an entire
place of readability.
Press the tare control at any range level to restore the full resolution of the first range,
even when the balance is loaded.

Display Modes on Verified Balances

You can select the display mode that best meets your individual requirements.

Final Readout Mode

If you are interested in the final readout only, you can select this mode by setting
code 2 5 1. A special symbol, “– –”, will be displayed in any weighing range
until the final stable readout is indicated. For the standard readout mode, set
code 2 5 2 (all readouts).

Special readout mode “– –” Code
Special symbol “– –” for unstable readings when load changes 2 5 1
Standard digital readout mode * 2 5 2

Last Numeral Blanked When the Load Changes

As the load on your balance changes, the display resolution is reduced by
a factor of 10 so you will obtain a faster and more stable readout.
In the process, the last numeral is blanked until the load stabilizes. Once the load
has stabilized, the readout is shown again with the full display accuracy, which
means the last numeral is displayed.

Display mode 1st range 2nd range
Highest possible accuracy * 1 8 1 * 3 2 1
Last numeral blanked when load changes 1 8 2 3 2 2

Calibration Functions on Standard Balances

Select the appropriate menu code to define the access status for each of
the following calibration functions, which are activated by holding down the tare
key for a few seconds:

– External calibration C-E

– Internal calibration C-I
– Sensitivity test C-t

If the menu access switch is unlocked (“accessible” status indicated by -C- after
you have accessed the balance operating menu), the “external calibration”
function will be accessible even though you have set the menu code 1 9 2 for
“access denied.”

External calibration Code

Quick CAL Using f

If your balance has a built-in calibration weight, you can select the “internal
calibration” function at any time by a touch of the f key (factory setting:
accessible). That’s why we call it “Quick CAL” for short.
You can also set a different menu code to change the function of the f key from
“internal calibration” to “sensitivity test.”
Both functions are accessible even if you select code 1 10 2 or 111 2, respectively.

Function of the f key Code
No function * 2 2 1
Internal calibration (“CAL I”) * 2 2 5

Calibration Functions on Verified Balances/Scales

Select the appropriate menu code to define the access status for each of
the following calibration functions, which are activated by holding down the tare
control for a few seconds:

– External calibration C-E
– Internal calibration C-I
– Sensitivity test C-t

External Calibration

Use the access switch to block or release the external calibration function.

On verified precision balances of accuracy class K, the “external calibration”
function is blocked by the access switch (adjusted to the left and secured against
alteration of the switch setting) after verification.

Quick CAL Using f

You can select the “internal calibration” function at any time by a touch of the f
key (factory setting: accessible). That’s why we call it “Quick CAL” for short.
On AC balances, you can also set a different menu code to change the function
of the f key from “internal calibration” to “sensitivity test.”

Utilities for Printouts or Data Transfer

Sartorius balances come standard with an interface. You can plug a Sartorius
printer or a computer into this interface port to print data on hard copy or have
them transferred to your computer. Moreover, you can choose to output data from
your balance to this on-line device either automatically or by pressing the print
key on the balance.
The balance operating menu lets you define the various parameters for data output.
For information on the data formats and for interfacing a computer or other
peripherals, see Part 5, “Interface Description.”

Data Output Parameter

This parameter is coupled with the stability parameter =
stable readout or
no motion is detected
Print on request = data is output only when the print key is pressed or a software
command is received
Auto print = continuous, automatic data output

Code
Print on request regardless of stability 6 1 1
Print on request after stability with storage of the function * 6 1 2
Print on request at stability without storage of the function 6 1 3
Auto print regardless of stability 6 1 4
Auto print at stability 6 1 5

Automatic Data Output

You can stop and start automatic data output by pressing the print key.
To avoid operating errors or to ensure that data will be output continuously in the
automatic mode, you can block this function.

Code
Start/stop auto print using the p key 6 2 1
Auto print not stoppable * 6 2 2

* = factory setting

2–15

Data Output at Defined Intervals

You can reduce the volume of data in the “auto print” mode by defining the interval
at which data will be output automatically. This auto print interval is based on the
number of display updates.

Auto print interval Code

1 display update * 6 3 1
2 display updates 6 3 2

5 display updates 6 3 3
10 display updates 6 3 4
20 display updates 6 3 5
50 display updates 6 3 6

100 display updates 6 3 7

Automatic Taring after Data Output

This convenient setting lets you checkweigh a series of samples or products
without having to unload the balance after each weighing procedure. This means
less work for you:
– the sample remains on the pan after the weight readout has been printed or

transferred to an on-line computer

– the balance is tared automatically after the weight readout has been printed or

transferred to an on-line computer

– you simply load the next sample or part

Code
Data output without automatic taring * 6 4 1
Data output with automatic taring 6 4 2

* = factory setting

2–16

Data ID Codes

To help you identify weights, piece counts, percentages, etc., a code letter is
printed or displayed in front of these values. For example, an “N” printed or
displayed in front of a weight value identifies it as a net weight. If you set the code
for “without data ID code,” only net weights, results in percent and counting
results will be output. You will find the data ID codes of a particular application
program listed in the corresponding description. The ID code increases the data
output format for each weight readout from16 to 22 characters.

Additional Functions

A number of additional menu codes enable you to assign or deny access to various
functions.

Menu Access Function on Standard Balances

You can define the function of the menu access switch on standard balances
by setting the code for the balance operating menu to “accessible.”

Access to the balance operating menu with standard balances Code
Accessible 8 1 1
Depends on the setting of the menu access switch * 8 1 2

Menu Access Switch Function on Verified Balances of Accuracy Class K

The balance operating menu can also be changed when the balance is being
used as a legal measuring instrument. Codes that are not permitted for operation
of the balance as a legal measuring instrument are blocked and cannot be
selected. The balance operating menu on verified balances approved for use as
legal measuring instruments cannot be locked with the menu access switch (“–”
not displayed). For balances of accuracy class K, the menu access switch is
adjusted to lock the “External Calibration” function after verification. To do this, the
switch must be moved to the left. A control seal is affixed to the balance to lock
the menu access switch. Unauthorized attempts to remove this seal will irreversibly
damage it. If you break the seal, the validity of the verification will become void,
and you must have your balance re-verified.

Beep Tone (Acoustic Signal)

If you wish, you can turn off the beep tone (i.e., acoustic signal)

Acoustic signal Code
On * 8 2 1
Off 8 2 2

Blocking the Keys

You can block all keys on the balance (except for e) by setting the respective code.

Analog Display: Bar Graph/Marker

In the factory setting, the analog display works as a bar graph. By changing
the menu code, you can turn the analog display completely off or have it appear
as a marker. When the marker is selected, two individual segments will move
within the display scale range to indicate the loading status of your balance.

Analog display Code
Off 8 5 1
Bar graph * 8 5 2
Marker 8 5 3

Power-On Mode

Depending on the operating mode, line current, battery operation or continuous
operation, you can change the power-on mode of your balance.
The factory setting is: (power) off –> on <–> standby.

In the setting “toggle between on and (power) off,” the balance remains off after
a power failure has occurred or after the balance has been disconnected from
AC power. After the balance has been turned off, power for the “standby” mode
is not available. In this setting, the balance can be turned on and off using
the e key.

* = factory setting

2–19

In the setting “toggle between on and standby,” the balance power will turn back
on automatically after a power failure has occurred or after you have disconnected
your balance temporarily from AC power.

In the setting “automatic power-on,” the balance will turn back on automatically
after a power failure has occurred; after the balance has been disconnected, then
reconnected to AC power; or after the e key has been pressed. In this setting,
the balance can no longer be turned off using the e key.

Power-on mode Code

Automatic Shutoff (Battery Saver) for Use with Code 8 6 2 or the
Rechargeable Battery Option**

If you are using the rechargeable battery option, turn the automatic shutoff function
on to increase the hours of battery operation so that you do not need to recharge
the batteries that often. Here is how the battery saver function works: If there has
not been a change in a weight readout for at least 2 minutes or you have not
pressed any keys during this time, “b” will be displayed. After another 2 minutes,
the balance will shut off if it has not been used in the meantime.

“isoCAL” Self-Calibrating Function*
on AC/LC…-00MS/-0CEMS Models

Range of Performance Features

The AC/LC…-00MS/-0CEMS models have
standard features which are not offered by other
balances and scales of the product line:
– Built-in servomotor for application of the internal

calibration weight(s)
– Self-calibrating function – “isoCAL”
– ISO/GLP-compliant printout/record
– Integrated Applications Computer “IAC” for the

application programs:

tare memory; formulation;

statistics; weighing in percent; counting; clock and

timer for time-controlled measurements/weighing;

calculation of weight values; totalling of weights;

averaging/animal weighing; density determination;

over/under checkweighing; ID number for

identification of data

Important Note for Verified Balances/Scales
(…-0CEMS):

These models are allowed to be used in the extended
ambient temperature range of 0°C to +40°C as
long as not otherwise indicated on the verification ID
label.

* = Balances of the product line cannot

be upgraded with this function

“isoCAL” Self-Calibrating Function

A balance of the Master Series can self-calibrate.

The self-calibrating function is activated based on the following parameters:

Model When the tempera- After a calibration

ture changes interval of

AC 211S-00MS, AC 211P-00MS,
AC 121 S-00MS 1.5 kelvin 4 h
LC 3201 D-00MS, LC 1201 S-00MS 1.5 kelvin 4 h
LC 621 S-00MS, LC 621P-00MS,
LC 6201 S-00MS, LC 4201S-00MS,
LC 4801 P-00MS 2 kelvin 6 h
LC 221 S-00MS, LC 2201S-00MS,
LC 2201 P-00MS, LC 34000 P-00MS 4 kelvin 12 h
LC 821-00MS, LC 421-00MS,
LC 16000 S-00MS, LC 12001 S-00MS,
LC 6201-00MS, LC 4201-00MS,
LC 34-00MS 4 kelvin 24 h

These parameters are the same for the corresponding balance/scale models

that have been verified or are acceptable for legal metrological verification (models

AC/LC…-0CEMS).
In addition, the self-calibrating function is activated after an hour has passed
since the balance was connected to AC power (power on) and after an hour has
passed since the time was set.
If the balance self-calibrates due to a change in temperature, the timer for the
calibration interval is set back to zero. The timer for the calibration interval is also

active when the balance is in the standby mode. After the balance has been

turned on, a check is run to see if a calibration time was exceeded while the
balance was in the standby mode.

Flashing W Symbol

If the “W” symbol flashes, the balance wants to self-calibrate. You do not need to
interrupt your weighing series, because the balance will wait until you have
unloaded the weighing pan (at least to approx. 2% of maximum capacity) and
have not used the balance for two minutes. Then the balance will self-calibrate.
The W symbol flashes until the balance begins self-calibration or until you activate
the calibration function manually (see also “Calibration” in Part 1).
You can interrupt the calibration process at any time by pressing the c key.
If any external disturbance affects self-calibration, the error code “Err 03”
will be displayed, and the procedure will be interrupted by two beep tones.
After two minutes, the self-calibrating function will restart.

3–2

Important Note for Verified Balances/Scales Approved as Legal Measuring
Instruments (…-0CEMS):

If “C” is indicated in the display or “STAT C”
is output via the interface, the balance/scale must not
be loaded.

The balance/scale initiates self-calibration 15 seconds after “C” is indicated
in the display. Changing loads during these15 seconds will interrupt the internal
preparation cycle for calibration.

You can select the following menu codes:

Self-calibrating function – “isoCAL” Code

3

) Reference values for the application programs have to be stored once again

after self-calibration has been performed (e.g., for counting or weighing in
percent). Measured values calculated for statistics or totalling will be deleted
after the calibration process has been performed.

Activating Internal Calibration Manually

The “Quick-CAL” key functions and “Internal Calibration Using the Tare Key”
are described Part 1.

*= factory setting

3–3

Automated Processes

Delays in production may occur when the “isoCAL” function is used in automated
processes. You can avoid such delays by setting menu code 1 15 2 “Calibration
symbol “W” in the display only.” In this case, you have to press the key to
activate calibration.

Printout or Record of Calibration Processes

The balance, interfaced with a data printer or a computer, creates a document
that records the date, time, serial number and model number which makes it

possible to clearly trace data to the balance that generated it. For more information,

see the section entitled “ISO/GLP-compliant Printout or Record” in the IAC
instruction manual.

Calibrating Balances When Using YDK 01, YWP 01, YWP 01U
or YWP 02 Accessories

When you use the YDK 01density determination kit or one of the special weighing
pans, YWP 01, YWP 01U or YWP 02, the balance cannot self-calibrate.
If the “W” symbol flashes, place the standard weighing pan on the balance and
activate the calibration function manually.

Self-Calibration with the MC1-MP8 Interface (Binary Converter)

EC-approved balance/scale models (…-0CEMS) can self-calibrate also when
menu code 9 2 3 for the MC1-MP8 interface (binary converter) has been set.

On all other models, if you select the MC1-MP8 interface, the balance cannot self­calibrate. If this is the case, activate the calibration functions manually.

Application Programs for Balances of the

Product Line

In addition to the functions implemented strictly for weighing, Sartorius balances
of the MC1 product line offer you a variety of application programs to handle
tough daily routine work in the laboratory as well as in industrial plants. If you have
not yet experienced how fast and accurately a Sartorius balance can count parts
or convert weights into percentages, now is a good opportunity to try it out.

In this description, you’ll find a few simple examples for the following applications:

Tare memory

Weighing in percent

Over/under checkweighing

Counting

You can also use “tare memory” and “over/under checkweighing” in combination
with “weighing in percent” or “counting.”

If your balance has a numeric keypad, please use the instructions entitled “IAC”
or “Backweigher” supplied with the balance.

4–1

To select an application program or a specific function, set the appropriate code
in the menu. Part 2 describes in detail how to set menu codes.

Additional settings for running the particular program and displaying or printing the
data on hard copy are listed in a table of codes.

One thing you should do when you want to set the code for a different program,
or when someone else has already operated the balance is:
Select the reset function – code 9 – –1o– to change all menu codes back to the
original factory settings.

Using Verified Balances/Scales as Legal Measuring Instruments in the EU:

All application programs can be selected on balances used as legal measuring
instruments. Non-metric values are indicated as follows:

Percent = %
Piece count (counting) = pcs
Computed value = o

Functions Common to All Programs

The f, F and w keys are assigned different functions by the individual

programs. In each case, the functions currently assigned to the f and F keys
are always identified in the display next to each key.

c Key

c clears the program function and resets the program.

Information and Printouts or Data Transfer

The info key (i) has two functions:

– one brief press: displays information and prints/transfers stored data
– one long press: recalls the reference percentage or reference sample

quantity for weighing in percent or counting (for more
information, see the descriptions of these programs)

Briefly press the i key to select the information
function: an “i” will appear in the display.

If you press f or F now, the data stored in
the memory will be retrieved and displayed. What is
displayed depends on the program selected.

Example: Counting

Over/Under Checkweighing

This program is used to check whether products are within a specific tolerance
range, to sort and classify items, and to fill and batch products. Symbols are
displayed above the bar graph as visual aids for this type of program: the equal
sign indicates the target weight; the minus sign, the underweight limit; and the plus
sign, the overweight limit. Within the tolerance range, the response sensitivity of the
bar graph is increased. You can define the tolerance limits between 0.1% and 10%
as required. To find these setting options, see the chart on page 4–12. The factory
setting is for tolerance limits of +/–1.0%.

For checkweighing, you can choose between two programs:

– checking net weights (code 2 2 3)
– checking variations in weight (code 2 2 4)

These programs enable you to checkweigh in any range that can be selected using
the toggle key labeled w. Instead of weights, you can use piece counts or
percentages for checkweighing if you have selected the corresponding application
program by menu code. Both programs provide four control lines via the balance
interface, which are called data output port lines. This means you can interface
a remote display unit that has color-coded indicators, which are activated by the
lines depending on the target weight and the tolerance limits selected.
For more information, see the “Interface Description” in Part 5.

You can use the Sartorius Three-Segment
Checkweighing Display Unit, model YRD10Z,
as a visual aid during checkweighing.

Checking Net Weights – Weight Readout – Code 2 2 3

To store a weight readout as the target weight, press f.

The target weight is indicated in the analog display as a bar graph. The last segment
of this bar graph ends exactlybelow the equal sign of the checkweighing indication.

If the weight of a product is “acceptable,” the last segment of the bar graph will
be within the tolerance range of the checkweighing indication. You can also read
the actual weight in digits.

Counting . . .

A weight readout is stored as a reference sample quantity (factory setting: 10 pcs).
To change this value, see the description on page 4–14. (The reference sample
quantity is displayed as long as the reference sample weight has not yet been
stored for counting.) While counting (piece count readout), you can press F to
update the reference sample for optimizing the accuracy (approx. double the
reference sample quantity). In the process, the reference weight is recalculated
based on the total reference sample weight and the piece count displayed.

quantity will be displayed above the unit symbol after you press c.

To select the change function: Hold down i for more than 2 seconds

To change the setting: Use f identified by – ^–

If you enter a wrong number, press c to clear it.

To store the ref. quantity: – temporarily until you turn off the power: briefly

Reference Sample Updating

While counting (piece count readout), you can press F to update the reference
sample for optimizing the accuracy (identified by – OPT – in the display next to the
key). In the process, the reference weight is recalculated based on the total
reference sample weight and the piece count displayed. It makes sense to use the
reference sample updating function when the weight of a reference sample quantity
is lighter than 100 digits. In this case, you should about double the reference
sample quantity. You can repeat reference sample updating several times.

Interface Description

This description has been written for users who wish to connect their Sartorius
balance of the MC1 Series to a computer or other peripheral device using
a V24/V28-RS-232C(-S)*)/423 interface.
By using an on-line computer, you can change, activate and monitor the functions
of the balance and the application programs.
This data interface also provides data output port lines for controlling a remote
display unit for over/under checkweighing. In addition, a universal switch
for remote control of various functions can be connected to the data interface port.

If you interface an original Sartorius accessory, such as a Sartorius Data Printer
or a similar unit, with a balance that has the factory-set menu codes, you do not
need to change any settings.

Data Output Formats

Depending on the menu code setting: 7 2 1 = without data ID code

or 7 2 2 = with data ID code

data will be output with either 16 (menu code setting 7 2 1) or 22 (menu code
setting 7 2 2) characters.

For a data output of 22 characters, a 6-character ID, as defined in the
application program selected, precedes the 16 characters reserved for the weight
or other value.

Data Output Format with 16 Characters

Display segments that are not activated (“+” or “–” sign, stability symbol
or numerals) are output as spaces.

The following data block format is output according to what is indicated
in the display:

If the weighing system has not stabilized (stability symbol is not displayed),
no unit symbol will be output.

For the display format parameter “last numeral off or only at stability”
(blank last numeral by a rounding factor of 10 or display last numeral when the
readout is stable), the 10th character in the string is a space. The reason:
the last numeral without a decimal point is not blanked. Instead, it is given a
definite zero; otherwise, the display would go completely blank when the balance
is unloaded. In this case, you will obtain the standard display format.

Data Input Formats

Commands can be input via the balance interface port to control balance and
application program functions.

Control commands are distinguished according to those with upper-case letters
or special characters and those with lower-case letters.

Format for Control Commands

Control commands can include up to 13 characters.
Each character must be transmitted with a start bit, a 7-bit ASCII-coded character,

a parity bit and one or two stop bits.
You can define the parity, baud rate and handshake mode, including

the number of stop bits, by programming the respective codes in the balance
operating menu (see page 5–13).

ESC K CR LF

ESC f X

ESC K X X X X X X X X

ESC = Escape
K, f = Control letters (see the following pages)

Synchronization and Data Output Parameters

Definition

During data communication between the balance and an on-line device
(computer), “telegram-style” information consisting of ASCII characters is transmitted
by the interface.

For error-free data communication, the interface parameters including
the baud rate, parity and handshake mode, as well as the character format,
must be the same for both units.

You can change these parameters in the balance operating menu so that they
match those of the on-line device.
In addition to these parameter settings, you can define the data output
parameter of the balance so that data are transmitted depending on various
conditions – for more information, see “Utilities” in Part 2.

If you do not plug a peripheral into the interface port on the balance, this will not
generate an error message. In this case, data will be output but not received.

Handshake

The balance interface (Sartorius Balance Interface = SBI) has a 23-byte transmit
buffer and a 40-byte receive buffer.

You can access the balance operating menu to define various handshake
parameters:

Software handshake: controlled by “XOFF” and “XON”
Hardware handshake: – send 2 characters after “CTS”

– send 1 character after “CTS”

What happens when you define a software handshake?

Receiving device:
“XOFF” will not be transmitted until the receive buffer has stored the 26th character.

The enable command “XON” is given after the buffer has transmitted all characters
up to the 14th character.

5–10

If the device addressed does not understand the control command, the SBI
receiving device continues to operate additionally with a hardware handshake
after it has received another 6 characters.

For data communication with a software handshake, “XON” must be sent
by a device when it is turned on in order to enable another on-line device to
exchange data.

Sequence:
Transmitting device Receiving device
– – – – – byte – – – –

– – – – – byte – – – –
– – – – – byte – – – –

– –←– – – <XOFF> – – – – –

: :

– –←– – – <XON> – – – – – –

– – – – – byte – – – –
– – – – – byte – – – –

Transmitting device:
The importance of such handshake control for data transmission becomes

especially apparent
– when the continuous automatic data output parameter is defined
– when data output is controlled by application programs.

→
→
→

→

(Once <XOFF> has been transmitted, a maximum of

→

14 bytes can still be received.)

→
→

Once <XOFF> has been received, it prevents further transmission of characters.
When <XON> is received, it re-enables the transmitting device to send data.
The transmitting device is always enabled for sending data after it has been
switched on.

If data transmission is interrupted by the control line (CTS) or the command
<XOFF> while a data block is being output from an application program (only for
printing a section of text with several lines of data), the readout will be locked
into the display at the same time.
Data output will be blocked until the interface receives an enabling signal.

5–11

Activating a Data Output Process

You can define the data output parameter so that output is activated when
a print command is received, or is activated automatically. You have two options
for the automatic mode: data output can be either synchronous with the
balance display update or activated at defined intervals (to select the parameter,
see “Utilities” in Part 2).

Data Output by Print Command

The print command can be transmitted by a software command or by pressing
the print key.

You can connect an external universal switch for remote control to the balance
interface port (for the print function, see Part 2) in addition to an interface cable for
a different device. For the switch, use pins 8 and15 of this port and a cable up
to 1.5 m or 5 ft long.

If data output is requested by a software command (see the section on
“Data Input Formats”), you can install a 15 m (50 ft) cable for the RS-232C or
a 300 m (984 ft) cable for the RS-423.

Automatic Data Output

In the “auto print” operating mode, the data are output to the interface port
without requiring a print command. You can choose to have data output
automatically at defined print intervals with or without the stability parameter.
Whichever parameter you choose, the data will be output as the readouts
are indicated in the balance display.

If you select the auto print setting, data will be transmitted immediately the moment
you turn on the balance. Automatic data output can be stopped and restarted
either when you press the print key, or when an external print command is received,
if you have set menu code 6 2 1.

These data output functions are described in Part 2, “Utilities.”

Control Lines

For classification or filling in the “over/under checkweighing” application
program, you can use the voltage levels of four data output port lines to control an
external on-line display or control instrument.

The voltage levels of the data output ports will change according to various patterns,
depending on the reference weight and on the lower and upper weight limits.

RS-232 cables purchased from other manufacturers often have incorrect
pin assignments for use with Sartorius balances. Be sure to check the
pin assignment against the chart below before connecting the
cable, and disconnect any lines marked “Internally Connected” (e.g.,
pin 6). Failure to do so may damage or even completely ruin your
balance and/or peripheral device.
