Installation

Ambient Conditions

Sartorius QC scales are designed to provide reliable weighing and counting results under normal ambient conditions encountered in industrial environments.

When choosing a location to set up your scale, observe the following so that you will be able to work with added speed and accuracy:

–

Set up the scale on an even, stable surface (table or floor)

– Avoid extreme heat radiation from heaters

or direct sunlight

– Protect the scale from drafts that come through open

doors and windows

– Avoid areas that may subject the scale to extreme

vibrations during weighing

– Protect the scale from aggressive chemical vapors The scale may not be used in hazardous

areas/locations where there is danger of explosion. Do not expose the scale to extreme moisture over long

periods of time. Moisture in the air can condense on the surfaces of a cold scale whenever it is brought to a substantially warmer place. If you transfer the scale 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 scale connected to AC power, the constant positive difference in temperature between the inside of the scale and the outside will practically rule out moisture condensation.

Note for QC Models Verifiable for Use in Legal Metrology:

The scale can be adapted to your individual requirements through simple changes to code settings in the scale operating menu. For more information, see the section entitled “Scale Operating Menu.”

Preparing the Scale for Verification as a Legal Measuring Instrument in the EU*: After initially connecting the scale to the power supply (or after a relatively long power outage), allow the scale to warm up for at least 24 hours.

Using the Scale in Legal Metrology

(QC-...0CE Models)

* = Pursuant to Directive No. 90/384/EEC on non-automatic weighing instruments

Approved Auxiliary Measuring Devices

When using the load plate as a legal measuring instrument in the EU, you may connect to it only auxiliary measuring devices that have been approved for legal metrology. Metrologically relevant auxiliary devices, such as printers, additional display units, etc., must be type-approved for this purpose and marked by a green metrology sticker imprinted with a black “M.” The auxiliary device must be verified in conjunction with the weighing instrument. If the auxiliary device is connected at a later date to a weighing instrument that has already been used in legal metrology, the responsible weights and measures office must be informed of the addition of the auxiliary device. The auxiliary device can be used in legal metrology, however, as soon as it has been properly connected if it has the green metrology sticker with a black “M.”

Since the type-approval certificate for verification applies to non-automatic weighing instruments only, you must comply with your country’s national regulations that apply to the place of installation of your weighing instrument for automatic operation with or without auxiliary devices installed.

To Be Filled Out by the Service Representative Authorized to Perform the Initial Verification*:

Verified on (date): The verification is valid for the following scale location: Company/Name: Serial no.: Address: City/Post code: Country: or Zone:

As a weighing instrument, the QC is not allowed to be used for weighing goods intended for direct sale to the public, nor may it be used as a legal measuring instrument until it has been initially verified by Sartorius. If the scale is moved, it must be verified again at its new location. In this case, the scale must be verified and stamp-approved at the new location by your local weights and measures office.

1–23

Connecting the Scale to AC Power

The scale is powered by an AC adapter supplied with the scale. Make sure that the voltage rating printed on this unit is identical to that of your local line voltage.

If the voltage specified on the label or the plug design of the AC adapter do not match the rating or standard you use, please contact your Sartorius office or dealer.

When you use the scale and associated equipment, you must comply with the national electrical code and applicable safety regulations of your country.

If you use the QC scale in a Zone 2/Class I, Div. 2 hazardous area/location, make sure to comply with the valid standards and regulations of your country, applicable to the installation of equipment in a Zone 2/Class I, Div. 2 hazardous area/location, e.g. in Germany with ElexV from 27.02.1980 (BGBI. I, P.214). Only authorized technicians are allowed to install the equipment in a Zone 2/Class I, Div. 2 hazardous area/location.

The female plug of the power cable must be securely fastened to the male socket on the QC display unit. On the other end of the power cable, – either an explosion-proof plug-and-socket connection must be installed – or the plug must be detached from the power cable and the power cable

securely connected to a suitable junction box.

When the scale is switched on, an automatic self-test of the scale’s electronic circuitry is performed. At the end of the self-test, a zero readout is displayed. This means that the scale is ready for use. If an error is found during the self-test, the display reads: “Err xx”.

Note:

If the “Err xx” error code is displayed, see the “Troubleshooting Guide” in this manual. For verified scales QC 7CCE-S0CE and QC 64EDE-S0CE, which have a verification scale interval “e” that is greater than the scale interval “d,” the last digit on the display is bordered.

The display shows the following special codes for your information:

OFF*

displayed in the upper right corner indicates that the scale was disconnected from AC power (scale reconnected to AC power or power outage longer than 3 seconds).

O* displayed in the lower left corner means Stand-by The display has been turned off by pressing e/o (18), or the scale shut itself off automatically (see Scale Operating Menu). The scale is now in the ready-tooperate mode and does not need to warm up.

b means Busy

Once you turn on the scale, the b symbol is displayed until you press a key. During operation, this symbol indicates that the scale is still busy processing a function and will not accept another command to perform any other functions at this time.

Important Note Concerning Scales Verifiable for Use as Legal Measuring Instruments:

A weight readout can be displayed in grams “g” or kilograms “kg” (depends on model).

In addition to grams and kilograms, you can also weigh in other international weight units on all standard scales. See the “Scale Operating Menu” in Part 2 of this manual.

For verified scales QC 7CCE-S0CE and QC 64EDE-S0CE, which have a verification scale interval “e” that is greater than the scale interval “d”, the last digit on the display is bordered.

Taring

A weight can be determined with accuracy only from a defined zero point. Press the =/z key (14) to zero the weight display. You can tare within the

▼

entire weighing range of the scale.

1–36

Simple Weighing

Place your sample on the load plate (3) to determine the weight. Read off the weight indicated on the display only after the weight unit “g” or “kg” appears as the stability symbol.

Calibration/Adjustment

“Calibration” technically means to determine the difference between the scale readout and the actual weight on the platform to determine the accuracy. Adjustment means to bring a scale to the level of accuracy required for its use.

Note:

For 0CE-series scales, the calibration function is sealed and locked after verification.

You must adjust or calibrate your new scale at the place of installation after each warmup period and before the first measurement. You must also re-adjust or recalibrate your scale each time you set it up in a different area or when the ambient conditions change (especially the temperature).

Menu code: 1 9 1* Use only calibration weights with an accuracy equal

to or better than the readability of your scale. You can find an overview of the calibration weight sets available in the section entitled “Accessories (Options).” You need an exact calibration weight.

When a zero readout is displayed, press the =/z key (14). This starts calibration. The

▼

calibration weight is displayed in grams. Errors or interference at the start of the calibration

routine are indicated by the error code “Err 02.” If this is the case, tare and press the =/z key again when a zero readout appears.

Center the calibration weight on the load plate. The scale then calibrates automatically. At the end of calibration, the calibration weight readout and the stability symbol “g” or “kg” are displayed.

Blocking the Calibration Functions

You can block the calibration functions by setting code 1 9 7.

1–38

Data Interface

If you wish to record weighing data using a Sartorius Data Printer, plug the YCC01-0016M3 data cable into the interface port (28) of the scale. You do not need to adjust any settings!

Connecting Electronic Peripheral Devices

Make absolutely sure to unplug the scale from AC power before you connect or disconnect a peripheral device (printer or PC) to or from the interface port. The IP 65 protection rating is ensured only if the square rubber gasket is installed and the plug is connected securely to form a leakproof seal.

Unscrew the protective cap (28) that covers the data interface port.

Note:

Keep the protective cap in a safe place where it will not get lost!

– Plug the connector into the interface port – Secure the connector with the screw ring

1–39

Note:

Press the p/p key (11) to output data. For information on data output parameters and data

ID codes, see the section entitled “Utilities for Printouts or Data Transfer.” For details on the data interface (such as the data output or input format, pin assignment, etc.), see Part 4, “General Description of the Data Interface.”

Interfacing Devices with the Scale

Please note that the interface port is electrically connected to the protective grounding conductor of the scale 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 scale.

Care and Maintenance

Service

Regular servicing by a Sartorius service technician will extend the service life of your scale and ensure its continued weighing accuracy. Sartorius can offer you service contracts, with your choice of regular maintenance intervals ranging from 1 month to 2 years.

Cleaning

Before cleaning the scale, unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet.

Please do not use any aggressive cleaning agents (solvents or similar agents). Instead, use a piece of cloth which has been wet with a mild detergent (soap). Make sure that no liquid enters the scale housing. After cleaning, wipe the scale down with a soft, dry piece of cloth.

1–42

Note:

If the water that you use to clean the scale is too hot or cold, the difference in temperature between the water and the scale can cause condensation within the scale (according to EN 60529 on IP65 protection). This condensation may cause the scale to malfunction!

Safety Inspection

If there is any indication that safe operation of the scale with the AC adapter is no longer warranted, turn off the 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 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 a relatively

long period under unfavorable conditions.

Instructions for Recycling the Packaging

To ensure safe shipment, your scale has been packaged using environmentally friendly materials. After successful installation of the equipment, you should return this packaging for recycling.

For information on recycling old weighing equipment, consult your communal or municipal waste disposal center or local recycling depot.

Scale Operating Menu

Changing Settings in the Scale Operating Menu

In the operating menu, you can define how your scale will adapt to ambient conditions and also how it will work to meet your special requirements. The factory settings of the scale operating menu are identified by an “*”. You can select the functions not identified by an “*” by setting the respective menu codes. You can find the codes in the section entitled “Scale Operating Parameters” which starts on page 2 - 4. If you need to change any of the factory settings, we recommend that you enter these changes along with the date in the column headed by “Changes.”

The keys have special functions for setting menu codes:

u/w (12) = Increases a number by one with

each press (the numbers change in cycles)

=/z (14) = Confirms a code setting; stores a

code setting and exits the menu

p/p (11) = Moves to the next of the three

numbers of a code (1st – 2nd –3rd – 1st – etc.)

Now try changing a code to adapt your scale to a special power-on mode. The code for “Automatic power-on” is 8 5 4.

Changing Menu Code Settings

To select specific functions, you will need to change the respective menu code. There are three steps to changing a code:

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

2–1

Accessing the Menu

– Press e/o (18) to turn off the scale.

Turn the scale back on.

– While all segments are displayed, briefly hold

down the =/z key (14).

▼

– Release when “1” (“–C–”) is displayed. Note:

If you use the scale as a legal measuring instrument, the “external calibration” function is blocked. Only menu items that are permitted for scale

▼

operation in legal metrology can be read and changed by the user!

– Press u/w (12) until “8” appears.

▼

– Press p/p until the 2nd number of the

code appears.

▼

– Press u/w until “5” appears

– Press p/p until the 3rd number appears

(when you move to this number, the previously set menu code will appear).

▼

– Press u/w to select “4.”

– Confirming Code Changes

Press =/z (14 ) to confirm the code you have just set (this is indicated by the “o” after the code).

Note:

▼

– To store the new menu code setting, press

=/z (14) for more than two seconds until the self-test function starts.

2–2

Important Note:

Changes to the code settings are not stored if you turn off the scale by pressing e/o while selecting the code numbers or before saving a setting.

The current menu setting in the scale operating menu is identified by a small, superscript “o” after the last number. When you access the operating menu, the previously set code will be displayed after you have selected the right-hand number, which means the entire menu code setting is displayed. This makes it easy for you to check the previously set codes.

If you want to change several menu code settings, you do not have to press =/z (14) after each change to exit the scale operating menu. You can also confirm individual settings.

Undoing All Menu Code Changes – Reset Function

The reset function lets you undo all menu code changes, which means you will obtain the original factory-set menu codes identified here by an “*”. To use this function, select code 9 – – 1°. For information on confirming and storing menu code settings see the previous page.

Application Programs

In addition to the weighing functions, your scale offers a variety of application programs for use in the rough world of everyday industrial tasks. The description of the application programs is divided into several parts. To aid you in making optimal use of these programs, your scale’s display will show helpful symbols and abbreviations.

This manual contains simple working examples for each of the basic application program modes. The settings required to run the program and to generate documentation are given in a code table at the beginning of each example. Your Sartorius scale can help you in counting parts, totalizing values, checking or storing the weight of parts or of a piece count. With these functions, your Sartorius QC counting scale can help to ease your daily workload. The scale is set at the factory so that as a rule you do not need to make any changes. If you have special requirements, or if you wish to use the additional functions available in the application programs, you can change the appropriate settings in the scale operating menu accordingly.

The procedure for setting codes is described in detail in Part 2.

Additional settings for running a particular program and displaying or printing the data on hardcopy are listed in a table of codes before each practical example. For your convenience, we have indicated the factory-set codes with an “*“.

One thing you should do when you want to set codes for a different program, or when someone else has already operated the scale, is:

Select the reset function (code 9 – – 1°) to change all menu codes back to the original factory settings.

Note: When using verified scales as legal measuring instruments, the external

calibration function is blocked by menu code!

Changing the Reference Sample Quantity “nRef”

You can change the reference sample quantity in cycles by pressing g/W key. Use the number keys 0–9 and the u/w key to enter piece counts. Choose from the following settings for the reference sample quantity: 5,10, 20, 50,100 and a user-definable number (factory setting: 999).

To change the ref. sample aty: press the g/W key (13) repeatedly and

select the desired reference sample quantity, or enter directly using the numeric keys 0–9.

After the reference sample quantity “100 pieces,” 999 (or another number) is displayed. You can overwrite this number directly using the numeric keys 0–9 (saved in non-volatile memory). Note: This setting is not canceled by the reset code 9 – –1°!

If the scale is not loaded with the corresponding number of pieces, the “Err 22” error code is displayed.

Make sure you enter the number for “reference sample quantity ‘nRef’” without the decimal point (. key)!

A number entered manually without a decimal point is always a piece count!

You can exit this application at any time by pressing c/c + u/w or g/W, and proceed with a new counting task.

Input of Reference Weight “wRef”

If you know the weight of a part, you can enter it directly as the reference weight “wRef” using the numeric keys 0–9.

Make sure you enter the number with the decimal point (. key)! A number entered manually with a decimal point is always a weight value!

You can enter a number of up to 7 digits manually.

Simple Counting

The QC counting program is set at the factory so that you can begin counting without changing any settings.

If you want to change the factory-set reference sample quantity, press g/W (13) to select one of the settings (5, 10, 20, 50,100 or user-definable quantity –- this latter setting has been factory-set to 999*.

Place a container on the scale, press the =/z key (14) to tare or use the “tare memory” application. Start the automatic container taring function by pressing the S/a key (see the section on “Tare Memory”).

Count the corresponding number (e.g.,10 parts) into the container. Press the u/w key (12) to start counting. If you add any number of parts to the

container, the current piece count in pcs will be displayed.

Important Note:

If –UPD–- is displayed, the scale will automatically recalculate the average piece weight, used as a reference, from the piece count and weight on the scale and you will hear a beep.

With the menu setting 7 1 2, the average piece weight (reference weight) and the reference sample quantity are output to an on-line printer after the last positions in the weight display have stabilized. If the reference weight has not been entered manually, the data output is generated after the reference weight has been calculated with up to 3 additional digits after the decimal point, depending on the scale type. If the reference weight was entered manually, the data output generated has the same number of digits as the value entered.

* = user-definable piece count

Storage of Reference Weight

To determine and optimize the reference weight “wRef” you can choose whether the weight calculated is stored according to the display accuracy, or with full accuracy according to the internal resolution. If you select the higher internal resolution you can choose whether the internal resolution is10-fold or 100-fold that of the display accuracy. Weight values for 5,10, 20, 50,100 or xxx pieces is stored:

Value stored e.g. with the Code Changes

Minimum Load

In order to store a reference weight, the scale has to have the minimum load to ensure the counting accuracy. The weight required consists of 10 display increments:

QC7 0.1 g QC7CCE-L0CE 2 g QC7CCE-S0CE 0.1 g QC34 0.5 g QC34EDE-L0CE 10 g QC34EDE-S0CE 5 g QC64 1.0 g QC64EDE-L0CE 20 g QC64EDE-S0CE 1 g

Criterion for Storage of Sample Weights and Tare Values

(Only necessary with very low piece weights) To ensure that the calculation of the reference weights is as accurate and thus as

reproducible as possible, you can set the scale for “increased stability.” This means that the weight stored is even more precisely calculated, which means the reference weight is also more precise. Select the code 3 11 2 to extend the response time that elapses before the weight is stored and the average piece weight calculated, or before a tare weight is stored.

Storage criterion Code Changes At stability 3 11 1 * With “increased” stability 3 11 2

Accuracy Test

(For very low piece weights) You can select the limit parameter for storing the weighed value when

determining the piece weight. The calculation of the reference weight begins only when you have placed enough pieces on the scale, and the limit – in display increments – has been exceeded.

After you start the “Counting” application by pressing u/w key the symbol: P is displayed. If the accuracy limit you selected has not been reached, the P symbol flashes, and the scale automatically switches to a special weighing mode.

* = factory setting

3–8

There are 3 different ways you can then re-start the counting process:

1. Press u/w again. The weighed value for calculation of the reference

weight will now be stored with a longer weighing time and “increased stability.”

2. Empty the container and place it on the scale again. Press =/z

or o/t. The tare value is now stored with a longer weighing time and “increased stability.” Place the pieces back in the container and press u/w. The weighed value for calculation of the reference weight will now be stored with a longer weighing time and “increased stability.”

3. Continue filling pieces into the container (increase the load). Press g/W

and increase the reference sample quantity to the new number of pieces, or enter the number of pieces manually using the 0 –9 numeric keys. Press u/w to start the counting function. The weighed value for calculation of the reference weight will now be stored with a longer weighing time and “increased stability.”

Once the weighed value has been stored, the P symbol remains displayed and the scale returns to the fast weighing mode.

Reference Sample Updating

After pressing u/w to start the counting application, you can change the reference sample quantity as desired. You either can update the reference sample quantity manually, by pressing u/w, or have it updated automatically during the counting process. Automatic reference sample updating is practical as long as the reference sample quantity is lower than 100 pieces. With this function, the reference weight is re-calculated after stability has been reached and after accuracy testing; the updated sample quantity is calculated from the total weight and the displayed number of pieces. The abbreviation –UPD– is displayed to indicate that the reference sample quantity is being automatically or manually updated. You should update the reference sample quantity when either half or twice the number of pieces is placed on the scale. Updating with approximately double the number of pieces can be repeated several times.

You can choose whether to enter a value as a piece count or a weight value – see the table on the preceding page. When you enter values using the 0 – 9 numeric keys, the scale sets the value in the weight/piece count checking application as a variation value; if a value is entered by adding or removing sample to or from the scale, this is set as an absolute value. When the check limits are entered as weight values while a piece count is displayed, the checkweighing function is not active. The same applies vice versa, i.e. if piece count values are entered when a weight value is displayed.
