Weighing (see page38)

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 page43)

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.

Using the Balance

User Manual for Secura, Quintix, Practum

Statistics (Secura® and Quintix® only; see page46)

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 page49)

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 page52)

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 page56)

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 page59)

Use this application to multiply the weight value by a user-defined factor. The selected factor is saved to protected memory.

Unstable condition (see page61)

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 page63)

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 page65)

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 page67)

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.

If Unstable is selected, adverse ambient conditions (drafts, vibrations) are

filtered by changing the measurement time for the weight values.

Application menu option:

t Choose whether the balance will be used for Weighing or Dosing.

This setting is used to compensate for load fluctuations on the display.

– Weighing: The display responds very quickly to fast load changes.

Thedisplay responds more slowly to small changes in weight (in the digit range). This setting is suitable for normal weighing.

– Dosing: The display responds quickly to small changes in weight, making

itfaster and more accurate for additional dosing and container filling functions.

Stability signal menu option:

t Choose whether stability is shown with High accuracy, Medium accuracy,

orFast on the display.

The balance stability is displayed as soon as the weighing result is constant

within a defined range. Until stability is reached, the measured values is shown

in gray on the display and only turns black once the balance is deemed stable.

Zero / Tare menu option:

t Define settings for zeroing and taring.

– Zero/Tare function: Choose whether the balance is zeroed and tared

With stability or Without stability. If Without stability is selected, the

balance will automatically be tared when A or D is selected. If With stability is selected, the balance is tared the next time stability is reached after A or D is selected.

– Automatic zero (zero tracking function): When this option is active,

changes of a set fraction of scale intervals per second from the display zero point are zeroed automatically.

– Zero/Tare at power on: When this option is active, the balance is

automatically zeroed or tared when switched on.

SQmin Minimum Weighing (Secura® only)

Purpose: This function is used to compare the weight value with the defined minimum

sample quantity (SQmin = sample quantity minimum). This ensures that weighing results are above the specified minimum weight defined by your quality assurance system. This function is used to observe the minimum weight in order to meet the criteria of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP), for example.

SQmin is not the same as the minimum capacity Min in legal metrology.

Prerequisites: The balance must be set up by a service technician to be able to use the SQmin

function. The technician will determine the permitted minimum sample quantity and load this to your balance using the guidelines of your QA system. He will document this setting via a “Weighing module test as per USP” certificate in which the measurements and min. sample quantity are logged. The SQmin function ensures that the weighing results correspond to USP guidelines.

Switching SQmin On/Off

If the SQmin function is set up on the balance, go to the Settings menu, Weighing – SQmin to switch it on/off.

Density

User Manual for Secura, Quintix, Practum

Density

Purpose: The density of solids can be determined using 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.

Calculation Basis for Density Determination

Density determination using the buoyancy method is based on the following formula:

l Density of sample (rho) lfl Density of buoyancy liquid

Wa Weight of sample in air Wfl Weight of sample in liquid

Buoyancy: l = (Wa / (Wa - Wfl)) * lfl

Prerequisites: A Sartorius density determination kit is required for this function:

– for analytical balances YDK03 – for precision balances YDK04.

Mount the density determination kit on the balance and prepare it as described in

the kit instructions.

Conversion (Secura® and Quintix® only)

Purpose: Use this application to multiply the weight value by a user-defined factor. Division

is also possible if a factor of less than one is selected. The selected factor is saved to protected memory.

Example: You want to calculate the weight per unit of a sheet of paper (DINA4).

To do so, proceed as follows: – The weight per unit (e.g., 80g/m2) can be determined by dividing the weight

by the surface.

– The surface of a sheet of DINA4 paper is:

0.210 + 0.297 = 0.06237 m2.

– Division by 0.06237 is equal to multiplication by reciprocal value 1/0.06237,

i.e., 16.03335.

Counting

User Manual for Secura, Quintix, Practum

Counting

Purpose: 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. Minimize counting errors: – Ensure that the weight of individual parts is evenly distributed. – Larger reference piece counts lead to a higher degree of accuracy. – Switch on Auto Reference Updating.

t Select the Menu key in any application.

t Select the Counting symbol in the menu.

Calibration and Adjustment

User Manual for Secura, Quintix, Practum

Calibration and Adjustment

Background During calibration, a calibration weight is used to determine how much the

displayed value deviates from the actual measurement value. This deviation is compared to a specified desired value. Adjustment eliminates this deviation or reduces the permissible error limits. For Secura®, Quintix®, and Practum® models, calibration and adjustment are combined as one process. The balance is automatically adjusted after each calibration.

Before using a verified balance for legal metrology, calibration/adjustment must

always be carried out at the balance placement station. This can be performed automatically or manually. Practum® models with accuracy class (I) can be calibrated using an external weight.

When and How Often To achieve the highest accuracy possible, regularly calibrate and adjust the balance:

– daily after switching on the balance, – each time the balance is leveled, – each time ambient conditions have changed (temperature, humidity, or air

pressure),

– each time the balance is set up at a new placement station or moved on its

current station.

The following describes in detail the available options for calibrating and adjusting the balance: – Calibration/adjustment using an internal calibration weight (Secura® and

Quintix® only) – Calibration/adjustment using an external calibration weight – Automatic calibration/adjustment with isoCAL

Calibration and Adjustment

Automatic Calibration/Adjustment with isoCAL

Fully automatic calibration/adjustment ensures that the balance is automatically calibrated and adjusted when predefined time intervals or temperature values are exceeded.

This function varies in different models: – Secura®: isoCAL is automatically carried out based on time or temperature,

andeach time the balance is leveled. This function can be switched off via the system settings (see “Calibration/Adjustment” on page28).

– Quintix®: isoCAL is automatically carried out based on time or temperature.

Thisfunction is always active and cannot be switched off.

In Secura® models, every adjustment process, including the identified deviations, isdocumented and saved on the balance. The saved reports can be viewed via the system settings and printed out on a PC or Sartorius lab printer (see “Calibration/ Adjustment” on page28).

Care and Maintenance

Service

To ensure the continued accuracy of your balance, we recommend scheduling regular servicing at least once a year. Sartorius Service offers different service contracts with maintenance intervals that are tailored to your needs (see www.sartorius.com/service). A calibration certificate should be issued as part ofevery maintenance session. Have a qualified electrician inspect the technical safety of the AC adaptor and its connections at appropriate intervals (e.g., every two years).

Repairs

Repair work must only be carried out by trained service technicians. Never attempt to repair the equipment when the power is turned on! Unplug the AC adaptor from the electrical outlet (mains supply) beforehand. Repairs performed by untrained persons will invalidate the warranty, and may result in considerable hazards for the user and cause the balance to produce inaccurate results. Contact Sartorius Service or a Sartorius dealer for the proper repair of your balance.

The device must be unplugged during repair work. Unplug the power cord. Repairwork must only be performed by trained technicians.
