in damage and/or injury. Any improper use or operation of the balance, i.e.,
that is not consistent with the instructions, will result in forfeiture of all claims
under the manufacturer's warranty.
– Personnel need to have read and understood these installation instructions,
including the safety instructions.
– In the event of use in systems and ambient conditions which have greater
safety requirements, you must observe the requirements and provisions
applicable in your country.
– Always keep the equipment and balance freely accessible.
Any installation work or balance usage that does not conform to the
instructions in this manual results in forfeiture of all claims under the
manufacturer’s warranty.
* = See “Specifications.”
Danger of explosion!

Choosing a Location
t Select the right setup location:
– Set up the device on a stable, even surface that is not exposed to vibrations
(e.g., weighing stone).
– Maintain free access to the device at all times.
Choose a location that is not subject to the following negative influences:
– Heat (heater or direct sunlight)
– Drafts from open windows, AC systems, and doors
– Vibrations during weighing
– Heavy traffic areas (personnel)
– Excessive moisture
– Electromagnetic fields
Acclimatization
Condensation from humidity can form on the surfaces of a cold device when it is
brought into a warmer area. To avoid the effects of condensation, condition the
balance for about two hours, leaving it unplugged from the power supply, before
plugging the balance back into the mains.

Removing/Replacing the AC Adaptor
t Unlock (1) the AC adaptor and then detach (2) it.
Power Connection/Safety Precautions
– Only use original Sartorius AC adaptors. The AC adaptor has an IP rating of
IP40 in accordance with EN 60529.
– Make sure that the voltage rating printed on the manufacturer's ID label is
identical to that of your local mains voltage.
– If the stated supply voltage or the plug design of the AC adaptor does not
comply with your country's standard, please inform the nearest Sartorius
representative.
– The power must be connected in accordance with the regulations applicable
inyour country.
t 1) First of all, plug the AC adaptor into the socket at the back of your balance.
t 2) Afterwards, plug the AC adaptor into an electrical outlet (mains power supply).
Warm-up Time
y To ensure accurate results are delivered, the balance must warm up for at least
30 minutes after initial connection to the power supply.
Only after this time will the device have reached the required operating
temperature.
When a verified balance of accuracy class k for use in legal metrology is
connected to the mains power, it must warm up for at least one hour before
operation.

Leveling
The balance must be level to ensure precise weighing results. Leveling the balance
compensates for slant or unevenness at the place of installation by twisting the
front leveling feet of the balance.
The balance needs to be re-leveled and adjusted each time its setup location is
changed.
The leveling function is different for the various balance models:
– Electronic level indicator (Secura
®
only)
– Conventional level indicator (Quintix® and Practum®)
Note: The balance needs to be re-leveled and then adjusted each time its location is
changed.
Leveling with Electronic Level Indicator (Secura®)
In Secura® models, the balance's position is checked with sensors. Instructions on
the display guide the user when leveling the balance.

The Quintix® and Practum® models are fitted with a conventional level indicator.
This is located to the left of the display. The position of the air bubble in the
indicator shows whether or not the balance is correctly leveled.
t Twist both of the front leveling feet of the balance to move the air bubble so
that it is centered in the circular marking.
The figure shows which leveling foot should be twisted in which direction.
Generally, both feet must be adjusted in order to position the air bubble exactly in
the center of the circular marking.
Examples:
– If the air bubble is too far to the lower right, twist the right leveling foot
counterclockwise (see figure).
– If the air bubble is too far to the upper right, twist the left leveling foot
clockwise.
– If the air bubble is too far to the left, twist the left leveling foot
counterclockwise and the right leveling foot clockwise.
t Check the level indicator after each adjustment and correct if necessary.
t Complete the leveling by calibrating the balance.

Below-balance Weighing
A port for a below-balance weighing hook is located on the bottom of the balance.
Install a draft protection shield.
t Lift cover plate out of the bottom of the balance.
When doing this, put the balance to one side and not on the weighing pan side.
Placing the balance on the weighing pan side may lead to measurement
inaccuracies and damage to the balance!
t Attach a wire (or similar) to the sample and hang it on the notched hook.
If the below-balance weighing port is no longer being used, close the opening with
the cover plate again, so that the weighing results are not adversely affected by
drafts.
The below-balance weighing port may not be opened or used on balances used for
legal metrology.

The menu provides the following applications for various weighing tasks:
Weighing (see page38)
This is the standard application that appears when the balance is first switched on.
Use this application to determine the weight of a sample within the device's specific
weighing range.
Mixing (Secura® and Quintix® only; see page43)
Use this application to weigh up to 99 components one after the other for a
mixture or formula in one container. The balance is automatically tared after each
component is weighed. The weight value of an individual component or the total
weight can be displayed as desired.
25
Using the Balance
User Manual for Secura, Quintix, Practum
Statistics (Secura® and Quintix® only; see page46)
Use this application to save weight and calculated values and statistically analyze
them. You can save up to 99 components.
Components (Secura® and Quintix® only; see page49)
Totalize weight values. You can save up to 99 components that are weighed in
various individual containers.
Each container can be tared before each component is weighed.
Density (see page52)
Use this application to determine the density of solid samples using a density set
based on the buoyancy method. The density is determined using Archimedes'
Principle. The upward buoyant force exerted on a body immersed in a fluid is equal
to the weight of the fluid the body displaces.
Percentage (see page56)
This application is used to determine the percentage share or the percentage
difference of the sample related to a reference weight.
Conversion (Secura® and Quintix® only; see page59)
Use this application to multiply the weight value by a user-defined factor.
The selected factor is saved to protected memory.
Unstable condition (see page61)
Use this application with moving samples (such as live animals) and for weighing in
unstable environments. A measurement cycle is automatically carried out with a
defined number of measurements for each object to be weighed. The individual
measurements are averaged, and this average is displayed as the result.
Checkweighing (see page63)
Use this application to check whether a weight value falls within the specified
tolerances. This application also makes it easy to fill sample materials to a specified
target weight.
Peak hold (see page65)
Use this application to calculate the maximum weight value of a sample (peak
value). The value remains on the display for five seconds after the sample has been
removed from the balance.
Example: Use for measuring release force during an experiment, or use when a load
is so big that the balance display is hidden from view during weighing.
Counting (see page67)
Use this application to determine the number of parts of approximately equal
weight. The weight of a counted reference sample is calculated and then the
objects with an unknown piece count are weighed. The balance displays the
number of parts and the piece weight.

This setting is used to compensate for load fluctuations on the display.
– Weighing: The display responds very quickly to fast load changes.
Thedisplay responds more slowly to small changes in weight (in the digit
range). This setting is suitable for normal weighing.

itfaster and more accurate for additional dosing and container filling
functions.
