Overview
General Information
Service Concept
Prerequisites for performing maintenance and repair work on Sartorius Midrics
scales requires considerable experience with both indicators and weighing platforms.
In case of defects, repairs are performed on site. Generally, the equipment is not
replaced.
– Do not connect or disconnect cables to or from the equipment; always
disconnect the power cable from the wall socket (mains supply) first!
Information
– To ensure safety, an isolating transformer must be installed between the
indicator and the power supply before performing work that entails opening
the Midrics indicator housing.
On complete Midrics scales, check and adjust as necessary:
– Repeatability (standard deviation)
– Off-center load
– Span
– Linearity
(The procedure is the same as for all scale and weighing platform models.)

5
Overview of the Models
The hardware configuration consists of either a Midrics 1 or 2 indicator and
Sartorius weighing platform(s), or a Midrics 1 or 2 indicator and weighing
platform(s) (strain-gauge load cells) from another manufacturer.
Important: Mechanical and electrical service or repair work on the complete Midrics scale
requires considerable experience, and for this reason should be performed only
by Sartorius technicians trained at the factory. Any attempt to perform repair
work can result in damage to the equipment.
Auxiliary Service Tools and Equipment
In addition to standard tools, you will need the following special tools to work on
the complete Midrics scale:

Description of the Equipment
The complete Midrics scales from Sartorius are primarily used in industry. Because there are a number of hardware
configurations to choose from, Midrics models are constructed according to customer requirements.
The complete Midrics scale consists of:
– A choice of weighing platforms with capacities from 3 kg to 3000 kg (in stainless steel or steel) and indicators
The Midrics 1 / 2 indicators consist of:
– Front panel with keypad and
digital display (Midrics 2 has
additional keys)
– Midrics indicators
are equipped with either cable
glands or D-Sub 25 connectors.
Note: Additional electronic subassemblies are optional.

Function of the Switches
This switch must be open to work with the service software or to configure the A/D
converter (e. g., “Trade” configuration). If the menu access switch is closed, the
error message “ACCESS SWITCH LOCKED” is displayed in the service program and
the indicator shows “L” (underload) or “H” (overload). In this case, the A/D
converter cannot be configured. If adjustment is necessary (span, linearity), the
“± 2%” window is active.

Repairing the Midrics Indicator
Indicator
Important:
An isolating transformer must be installed between the indicator
and mains before performing work that entails opening the Midrics
indicator housing.
To open the Midrics indicator, remove the four nuts as shown in the illustration on
the left.
Note: After completing maintenance or repair work, check the seal between the
front panel and the housing body for damage and replace if necessary. If
the Midrics indicator in question has an IP65 protection rating,
a special test procedure is used to check the IP65 protection after the
housing has been closed.

Replacing the Front Panel
In the case of a defective key, keypad
overlay, or display, the entire front panel
must be replaced.
There are two front panel variants, Midrics 1
and Midrics 2. The only difference between
the two is the range of operating keys.
If the indicator housing seal is defective, it
must be replaced. When installing a new
seal, make sure it rests entirely within the
housing and is not caught between the
upper and lower housing parts when you
close the indicator.

Blank Display
If the display is blank (dark), disconnect the equipment from mains, open the
housing and disconnect all cables and wires from the subassemblies.
Then connect the equipment to power again through an isolating transformer and
connect all subassemblies again, measuring the supply voltage in each case.
– The voltage at the power supply output (connector A; see page 12) is
15V ± 0.3 V direct current.
– The output voltages of the DC/DC converter are listed on page 13.
Replacing the Power Cable
– Disconnect the cable from the power source.
– Open the housing.
– Replace the cable
Note:
After replacing the power cable, use
a torque wrench to tighten the cable
gland to
3 Nm3 Nm
3 Nm3 Nm
3 Nm.

Replacing the Power PCB
– Disconnect the cable from the power source.
– Pry the protective cap from the power PCB.
To do this, insert the end of a slotted-head screwdriver into each of the four
openings on the protective cap and carefully push the retainer clips, located
further down, to one side.
– Remove the protective cap and disconnect the two wires (blue/brown).
– Unplug connector A, remove the 2 screws and replace the power supply. After
replaceing the PCB, make sure to return the protective cap to its original
position.

Points of Measurement
Note:
Use a digital voltmeter
(DC setting) to measure voltages
against ground (earth). No
particular points of measurement
are defined for this procedure; for
this reason, use a thin test pin and
exercise extreme caution to avoid
short-circuiting the equipment.
The various supply voltages
delivered by the DC/DC converter
can be measured at the following
points.
M 1: 15 V ± 5% Input voltage for the DC/DC converter.
M 2: –9.2 V ± 5% Supply voltage for the A/D converter
M 3: +9.2 V ± 5% Supply voltage for the A/D converter
M 4: 5 V ± 5% Supply voltage for the digital PCB
M 5: 3.3 V ± 5% Supply voltage

Replacing the Main PCB
– Before replacing the main PCB, try to read out the data from the main PCB
controller using the service software; if this is successful, you can load the
adjustment data in the controller of the new main PCB once it is installed. In
many cases, this precludes the need to adjust the weighing system.

1. Connect the strain-gauge simulator and turn the switch to simulate different
input signals. The weight readout should be stable.
Replacing the Main PCB
Note: If communcation problems occur during communication with connected
devices (such as a printer), check the cable connections and the data
transfer parameters first; if the error source is not found, start the
internal test program.
– Switch off the indicator.
– Press and hold the k key while switching the indicator on again.
All segments are displayed.
– In case of defect, replace the main PCB.
– After replacing the main PCB, use the
PpLoadWH8.exePpLoadWH8.exe
PpLoadWH8.exePpLoadWH8.exe
PpLoadWH8.exe program to load the
software.
Note: To load the software, COM PCB model YDO01M-232 or YDO01M-232CLK
is required.
Following installation and commissioning of the new main PCB, the
display backlighting should blink on and off.
