* = see “Specifications”
Danger of Explosion!
Do not use this equipment in hazardous areas in which explosive materials are present.
Make sure that the voltage rating printed on the AC adaptor is identical to your local
mains voltage.
2.2 Installation Information
Do not operate the balance if its housing or AC adaptor is damaged. Immediately
disconnect the damaged device from the power by pulling the plug.
Do not expose the balance, its AC adaptor or the accessories supplied by Sartorius
to extreme temperatures, aggressive chemical vapors, moisture, shocks, vibrations or strong electromagnetic fields. Observe the conditions of operation described in the Specifications.
Note on Installation:
The operator shall be solely responsible for any modifications to the equipment and for connecting any cables or equipment not supplied by Sartorius. Information on operational quality is available upon request from Sartorius. You should only use peripherals supplied by Sartorius.
Note the IP protection class of the balance and its AC adaptor. Do not allow liquid penetration. The protection class specifies the suitability of equipment for various environmental conditions (moisture, foreign bodies).
Before cleaning the AC adaptor or the balance: Unplug from the mains power.

4.3 Choosing a Location
t Select the proper setup location:
– Set up the device on a stable, even surface that is not exposed to vibrations
(e.g., a weighing stone).
– Maintain free access to the balance 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 – Extreme vibrations during measurement – Heavy traffic areas (personnel) – Extreme humidity – Electromagnetic fields – Extremely dry air
Acclimatization
Condensation from humidity can form on the surfaces of a cold device when it is brought into a substantially warmer area. You should therefore let a device that has been disconnected from its power source acclimatize for approximately 2 hours before reconnecting it to the power.

Getting Started
Secura, Quintix User Manual
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 your nearest Sartorius representative.
– The power must be connected in accordance with the regulations applicable in
your country.
t 1) First, plug the AC adaptor into the socket at the back of your balance.
t 2) Then connect the AC adaptor to the wall outlet (mains voltage).
4.6 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 balance 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.

5.2 Leveling the Balance
The balance must be leveled in order to enable it to provide accurate weighing results. Leveling the balance compensates for slant or unevenness at the place of installation by twisting the front leveling feet of the balance.
Leveling is always required if the balance is set up at a different location or is moved at its original location.
The leveling function is different for the various balance models: – Electronic level indicator (Secura® only) – Conventional level indicator (Quintix®)
Note: The balance needs to be re-leveled and then adjusted each time its setup
location is changed.
5.2.1 Leveling with Electronic Level Indicator (Secura®)

5.2.2 Leveling with a Conventional Level Indicator (Quintix®)
The Quintix® 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.

5.3.6 List of Applications in the Menu
The menu provides the following applications for various weighing tasks:
Weighing (see page 40)
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 (see page 45)
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.

Statistics (see page 48)
Use this application to save weight and calculated values and statistically analyze them. You can save up to 99 components.
Components (see page 51)
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 54)
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 58)
This application is used to determine the percentage share or the percentage difference of the sample related to a reference weight.
Conversion (see page 61)
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 63)
This application is used for moving samples (e.g., 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 65)
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 67)
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 69)
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.
