Applications
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). Press the
K factor key to select the desired factor (quantity):
By pressing the R key: up
or S key: down
the value can
be modified – in 0.1 increments for factors of 1.0 to 6.0
or – in 0.01 increments for a factor of up to 1.0.
Note:
A flashing n arrow 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 in the components of your formula, the weight is displayed in “g.”
Let'ssuppose you want to weigh out 3 kg of a 1kg basic formula, 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 1st component
+ 250 g 2nd component
+ 500 g 3rd component
Total: 1000 g
1. Place the empty container on the load plate and tare the scale.
2. Press the F factor key repeatedly to set the factor to “3.0" for this example.
Operating Instructions PMA 35001-X 13
Applications
3. A “3.0" appears next to the weight readout.
4. Slowly pour in the first “250 g" of component until the display shows “250 g.”
5. Pour in the second “250 g" component until “500 g" is displayed.
6. Pour in the last “500 g" component until “1000 g" is displayed.
This concludes the recalculation example. According to the display, exactly
1000 g was poured in, but the paint in the container weighs 3 kg in accordance
with the factor you selected.
The procedure is the same for any other conversion factor.
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]. Press the S key to start the recalculation program; “C" flashes
on the display. Press the S key to correct the value so that it matches the amount
specified in the formula. Press the L key [MEM]; the scale returns to component 1
and automatically calculates 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. The same factor is used.
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 to check how much the
correction factor for the total quantity will be. “C" stands for “Correction factor."

Safety Instructions
1)The equipment must be installed, operated, maintained and repaired by a qualified technician in compliance
with applicable laws, rules and regulations, ordinances and standards. In particular, be sure to conform to the
European Standards EN 60079-14 (Explosive atmospheres – Part 14: Electrical installations design, selection
and erection). For more information see „Verification of Intrinsic Safety“ 36953-761-60 (ATEX) and „Control
Drawing“ 36953-761-07 (for use in the USA and in Canada).
Installation, maintenance, cleaning and repair work may only take place with all power disconnected from the
equipment. Do not plug in or disconnect the cable in potentially explosive atmospheres.
2)Be sure to follow the installation, operating, maintenance and servicing instructions given in the manuals
supplied.
3)The equipment shall be installed in such a way that it is protected against the entry of solid foreign objects or
water capable of impairing the safety of the apparatus. Reduce the risk of mechanical damage to a minimum.
4)The equipment must be powered by a suitable certified/approved power supply/battery pack with intrinsically
safe circuits as described in the certificate of this equipment.
5)Exposure to UV radiation is not allowed! Avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
6)The connecting cables of the display unit must be protected against damage and stress caused by strain.
7)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!
8)The data cables connected to the equipment are considered as intrinsically safe circuits. The connection is
secured against accidental disconnection and may only be plugged in or disconnected when the power is
switched completely off. Check the correct function of the data transfer before you use the equipment in a
hazardous location.
9)If the equipment is not operating properly, unplug it immediately from the line power (mains supply) and
secure it against any further use!
10)All metal parts must be electrically connected to the terminal for the equipotential bonding conductor (PA).
The equipment operator must to connect a lead with a gauge of at least 4 mm² (cross section) to the PA
terminal located on the side of the housing (indicated by the ground symbol). The low resistance of this
connection to the PA busbar must be checked when the system is installed at the intended place of use. Ensure
that the connection cannot be unplugged by pulling on the grounding cable. The shielding of the connecting
cables may only be used for grounding when no impermissible difference in voltage is generated and the
shielding is able to conduct the equipotential current.
11)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.
12)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.
13)Use equipment only in the temperature ranges indicated. Avoid exposing the equipment to inadmissible
sources of heat or cold. Avoid heat build-up and ensure that the equipment has sufficient ventilation.
14)The equipment operator is responsible for any non-Sartorius cables used.
15)Check the EX approval marking (particularly the group for gases and temperature code) on all equipment in
the hazardous area before operation to ensure that the equipment is permitted to be operated in this area.
16)At reasonable intervals, have your equipment installation checked for proper functioning and safety by a
trained and certified technician.
17)If your equipment needs to be repaired, use only original spare parts supplied by the manufacturer!
18)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 and in the forfeiture of all claims under the manufacturer's
warranty. Only authorized specialists may open the equipment.
19)Modifications, including those to be carried out by Sartorius employees, may be permitted only after express
written authorization has been obtained from Sartorius.
