Applications

Formulation Mode (Calculation by a Factor)

This mode enables you to weigh in amounts that are smaller or larger than that of your
basic formula for a specific paint color (e�g� 250 ml of a 1 l formula)� You can select
various factors (amounts) by pressing the K factor key (6):
0�5 1�0 1�5 2�0 2�5 3�0 3�5 4�0 4�5 5�0 10�0 15�0 20�0 25�0�

By pressing the ‘Up’ (18) R key
or ‘Down’ (16) S key
you can change the value – in 1�0 increments, as a factor of 5�0
– in 0�1 increments, as a factor of 1�0
or – 0�01 increments, up to a factor of 1�0�

Note:

A flashing arrow

n on the display indicates that the weight value displayed is not valid

in legal metrology (i�e�, not legal for trade)�

Example:

As you pour the components of your formula, the weight is displayed in »g«�
Let’s suppose you want to weigh 3 kg for a basic formula that has a total of 1kg, and you
don’t want to have to manually recalculate the individual components of the formula�
The basic formula for 1 kg is:
250 g First component
+ 250 g Second component
+ 500 g Third component

Total: 1000 g

1� Place the empty paint can on the load

plate and tare the scale�

2� Press the K factor key (6) repeatedly to

set the factor to “3�0” for this example�

10

Weighing Using the Recalculation Mode

Let’s suppose that you poured in too much of one color component for a given formula (in
this example, a 4-component recipe)�
This example further assumes that you previously poured in all of the other amounts exactly
according to each of the values you entered and saved by pressing the L key [MEM] (9)�
To correct for the overpour, press the S key (16) to start the recalculation program; C flashes
on the display� Use the R key (18; up) or S key (16; down) to correct the value so that it
matches the amount called for in the formula� Then press L [MEM] (8) to have the scale
calculate the amount to be added for each of the components that were already poured�
The display shows the amounts required to correct the formula up to the point at which the
overpour occurred� After the correction has been completed, you can continue filling the
remaining components�

Note:

You can correct overpours as often as needed�
Keep in mind that the total quantity of paint at the conclusion of filling increases each time
you correct a component� Press the c key (7) to check how much the total quantity will be�
The C stands for “Correction factor�”

A flashing arrow

n on the display indicates that the weight value displayed is not valid in

legal metrology (i�e�, not legal for trade)�

3� »3.0« appears next to the weight readout�

4� Slowly pour in the first component until the

display shows »250 g«�

5� Pour in the second component until »500 g« is

displayed�

6� Pour in the last component until »1000 g« is

displayed�

This concludes the recalculation example�
According to the display, exactly 1000 g was poured
in, but the paint can actually contains 3 kg by weight
in accordance with the factor you selected (3)�
The procedure is the same for any other conversion
factor�

17. Press the c key (7) [REC]

to view the factor by which
the total weight will exceed
the original target defined in
the recipe� (C = “Correction;”
in this example, 1�03)�
(Total weight = original
target + correction factor)

18. Add fourth component

+1000�0 g

This concludes the
recalculation example�

These safety instructions apply to the installation, operation, maintenance and repair of the equipment

1) Install the equipment in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, ordinances and standards�
Inparticular, be sure to conform to the European Standards EN 60079-14 (Electrical apparatus for use in potentially
explosive gas atmospheres)�

2) Be sure to follow the installation, operating, maintenance and servicing instructions given in the manuals supplied�

3) The PMA35001-Y must be installed so that the IP protection rating (IP4x) is maintained� Reduce the risk of
mechanical damage to a minimum� Take measures to ensure that neither foreign objects (particles) nor direct
or indirect water spray can penetrate into the equipment� Connections not in use must be sealed by appropriate
sealingcaps (do not remove using pressure)� Exposure to UV radiation is not allowed!

4) The external connecting cables must be installed in a protective tube and secured to prevent damage and
stress caused by strain� The cable glands must be secured to prevent them from working loose�

5) Prior to opening the equipment, disconnect the power supply or make sure that there is no potentially explosive
atmosphere or any other explosion hazard in the surrounding area! Never connect or disconnect cables while the

power is on in a hazardous area!

6) If the equipment does not operate properly, unplug it immediately from line power (mains supply)!

7) All metal parts (housing, column, load plate, bench, etc�) must be electrically connected to the terminal for
theequipotential bonding conductor (PA)� The equipment operator is obligated to connect a lead with a gauge
of atleast 4 mm

2

(cross section) to the PA terminal located on the side of the housing� The low resistance of this
connection to the PA busbar must be checked when the system is installed at the intended place of use� The shielding
of the connecting cables may only be used for grounding if no impermissible difference in voltage is generated and
the shielding is able to conduct any equipotential current�

8) Avoid generating static electricity� Use only a damp cloth to wipe down the equipment� The equipment operator shall
be responsible for preventing any risks caused by static electricity�

9) Keep chemicals and other agents, which can corrode the housing seals and cable sheaths, away from the equipment�
These agents include oil, grease, benzene, acetone and ozone� If you are not sure about the safety of a certain
substance, please contact the manufacturer�

10) Use equipment only in the temperature ranges indicated� Avoid exposing the equipment to heat�

11) If you wish to use other category 3 equipment in a zone 2 hazardous area, be sure that it has the required group for
gases and temperature class� The outputs must have EEx nA electrical circuits�

12) The equipment operator is responsible for any non-Sartorius cables used�

13) Check the Ex approval marking (particularly the group for gases and temperature class) on all equipment in the
hazardous area before operation to ensure that this category 3 Ex approved equipment is permitted to be operated
in this area�

14) At reasonable intervals, have your equipment installation checked for proper functioning and safety by a trained and
certified technician�

15) If your equipment needs to be repaired, use only genuine replacement parts supplied by the manufacturer!

16) Any tampering with the equipment by anyone, other than repair work done by authorized Sartorius service
technicians, will result in the loss of Ex conformity for zones 2 and and in the forfeiture of all claims under the
manufacturer's warranty� Only authorized specialists may open the equipment�

17) Modifications, including those to be carried out by Sartorius employees, may be permitted only after the express
written authorization has been obtained from Sartorius�

18) The data cables connected to the equipment are considered non-igniting EEx nA circuits� These connections must be
secured to prevent accidental disconnection and may be plugged in or disconnected only if the power is completely
shut off� Unused outputs must be sealed so that the IP4x protection is maintained�
