Start-up Wizard
When the device is turned on for the first time, a wizard is
automatically called up. Follow the instructions on the interactive
display in order to make the following settings: Language, date, time,
date and time format.
If required, you can subsequently modify your selection in the
“Settings” menu.
Access the adjustment
function by touching

Quick Access to
Calibration and
Adjustment
You will need to perform the combined calibration
and adjustment procedure the first time you operate
the balance, each time after changing it to a different
location and at regular intervals during operation.
If you are using a Practum® series balance, you will
have to do this manually as described below. The
Secura® and Quintix® series perform this procedure
fully automatically.
For external
adjustment, touch
“CAL-Extern”.
Set the balance to zero
by touching A and
then w. Place the
displayed calibration
weight in the middle
of the weighing pan.
The balance adjusts
itself automatically and
then switches to the
operation mode.
Leveling
To ensure accurate measurement results, you need to
level the balance each time after you have moved to a
different location.
Secura

Quick Six-Step Guide to Applications
Counting
Mixing**
Components**
Familiarize yourself with the capabilities
of your Sartorius balance and start off by
counting identical parts. The balance will show
you the quantity and the total weight.
Say you have a formula and need to weigh
in various components quickly with 100%
traceability, without losing track of the total
weight.
Use the “Mixing” application.
Do you need to compound components
according to a formula, but don’t want to
mix them immediately? With the application
“Components” you can weigh the individual
components in different containers and query
the total weight at any time.
Touch the menu key to access the
selection mode for applications and
select “Counting”.
Touch the menu key to access the selection
mode for applications and select “Mixing”.
Touch the menu key to access the
selection mode for applications and
select “Components”.

additional samples. To display the values
which have been added up touch “Net”.
The sum of all components which
have been saved will be displayed.
Statistics**
Density
Unstable Conditions
Would you like to save statistics on an entire
group of different samples?
Your Sartorius balance will transfer the
readings to its statistics memory and generate
a report on the key statistical parameters.
Do you want to determine the density of a
solid, irregularly-shaped object precisely?
Use the application “Density” and the
Sartorius density determination kit to precisely
calculate, for example, the quality of parts
made of precious metals and plastics.
Do you have to weigh in an extremely unstable
environment or measure the weight of an
inquisitive little mouse that just won’t sit
still? With this application you can determine
the weight accurately and arrive at traceable
results.
Touch the menu key to access the
selection mode for applications and
select “Statistics”.
First, install the Sartorius density kit on your
balance with the help of the instructions.
Touch the menu key and select “Density”.
Touch the menu key to access the
selection mode for applications and
select “Unstable Cond.”.

Determination of the minimum sample quantity
according to USP, Setting up of the SQmin
function (only Secura®)
Sartorius can offer to set up the SQmin function for
your balance.
Sartorius Service will determine the permitted
minimum sample quantity on the basis of the
specifications of your quality assurance system and
will store this value in the balance. The configuration
of the SQmin function will be documented in a
certificate (“Balance Test According to USP”).
If you work with the SQmin function, the weight
value will be compared with the default minimum
sample quantity (SQmin = Sample Quantity
Minimum). In this way it is ensured that the
weighing results are above the default minimum
sample quantity.
Weighing results which are below the SQmin will
not be output via the printer or the computer,
depending upon the safety stage settings, and will
appear, clearly marked, in the display of the balance.
Using the SQmin function ensures that the weighing
results comply with the USP directives (USP = United
States Pharmacopeia).
