Monitoring Functions and Security
isoCAL:
Reliability Guaranteed
Temperature fluctuations can distort the
accuracy of your weighing results. Quintix®
and Secura® rule out this risk right from
the start with their temperature- and
time-controlled calibration and adjustment
function, isoCAL. In addition, the internal
Cal Audit Trail function documents each
calibration and adjustment procedure,
generating a 100% traceable audit trail for
your quality assurance.
Menu Access Protection
Reliably protect the system settings of your
balance from any unintentional changes
by activating the tamper-proof supervisor
lock on Quintix®.

Secura
®
Password-Protected
Menu Settings
Secura® offers you customizable security:
Once entered, a password prevents any
changes to the menu settings that could
alter the metrological performance of the
balance. In this way, Secura® restricts
access to the menu to exclusively authorized
persons, ensuring fully controlled protection of your weighing procedures.
Secure Weighing Data at
All Times
Benefit from the different safety level
settings that you can select on Secura® for
controlled data transfer. You can optimally
adapt the automatic monitoring systems of
Secura® to your security needs. Whichever
level you opt for – high, standard or low –
you can be sure that with Secura®, you will
be processing only data that is correct.
SQmin: USP-Compliant
Weighing Results
Compliance with USP guidelines along with
absolute process reliability? This is guaranteed
by Secura®: the SQmin function checks that
your sample quantity is within the operating
range of your balance. Secura® will alert you
whenever your sample is below the minimum
net weight and will temporarily block
transfer of data to a printer or a computer.
Secura® ensures that only permissible
weighing data will be
further processed.

Correct Leveling
Level Status at a Glance
Quintix® makes it so simple for you to
check on your own whether your balance
is correctly level – just one quick glance at
the ergonomically positioned level indicator
is all it takes. Plus, the two large and easyto-adjust feet on the front enable you
to readily level Quintix®. Your weighing
results will always be “rock-steady” with
Quintix®.
Secura
®
Continuous Real-Time
Level Monitoring
The Secura® LevelControl function ensures
that your balance is perfectly level. It continuously monitors the level status in real
time, instantly detecting any tilt. In this
case, it will respond immediately to ensure
data integrity: You will be alerted, and
data transfer to a printer or computer will
be temporarily blocked. Secura® will then
reliably guide you in real time throughout the leveling procedure. With Secura®
LevelControl, you will have total peace of
mind knowing that your measurements are
fully accurate.

Weighing Pan and Pan Draft Shield Rings
Made of High-Grade Titanium
The Secura® micro balance really shines with its unique titanium
weighing pan and its two titanium pan draft shield rings supplied
as standard equipment. The raised rim of the pan draft shield ring
enables you to perform high-precision measurements successfully,
even when the balance is exposed to interfering air flow under
a laboratory fume hood. Non-magnetic and absolutely inert in
contact with aggressive substances, the titanium components of
the Secura® micro balance ensure 100% protected weighing.

Mixing
Components
Perform high-precision weight measurements fast and professionally.
Custom-configure the weight unit
and number of decimal places. Your
Quintix® or Secura® balance will do all
of the above in the Weighing app.
One formula. Several individual components. Objective: Weigh all into only
one container, while keeping an eye on
the total weight. Quintix® and Secura®
let you weigh in each component
sequentially with 100% traceability.
One formula. Several individual components. Objective: Weigh all components
independently of one another. At the
same time, check the entire amount
weighed in. Quintix® and Secura®
enable you to easily keep track of it
all for perfect weighing results.
Peak Hold
Does an oversized object on the balance
hide the display or is a reading displayed
only for a split second? The solution:
Quintix® and Secura® lock in the reading
so you can view it later, taking all the
time you need.
Checkweighing
Are your samples still within the allowable
tolerance range? Quintix® and Secura®
will give you the answer – on a straightforward color-coded bar graph. You will
know at a glance whether your samples
get the “green light” so you can proceed.
Counting
A bag with an unknown number of
identical small parts: Forget counting by
hand. Quintix® and Secura® will show
you the exact count along with the total
weight of all parts – two easy weighing
steps are all it takes.
Statistics
Conversion
Density
Generate statistics on a relatively large
sample size at the touch of a button?
Yes, you can! Quintix® and Secura® have
an internal statistics memory that saves
all weighing results so you can retrieve a
well-organized list of your key statistics.
No time for complicated conversions?
Quintix® and Secura® will save you from
doing all the number-crunching. Just
enter a conversion factor, weigh and
instantly read off the weight or value
along with the converted result.
