About the Product (Warranty)
With this Sartorius Scale you have acquired a high-quality
electronic weighing Instrument that will ease your daily
workload.
Please read these installation and operating instructions
carefully before operating your new scale.
Pursuant to the German Directive for the
Implementation of Regulations for Prevention of
Accidents "Elektrische Anlagen und
Betriebsmittel (VBG 4)" [Electrical Installations
and Equipment] of April 1986, it is hereby
certified that the equipment delivered, "Electronic
Over/Under Scale, model TS 6100B or TS 12," is
manufactured and tested in compliance with the
following DIN/VDE regulations:
DIN IEC 348/VDE 0411
Safety requirements for electronic measuring
apparatus
DIN IEC 380/VDE 0806
Safety of electrically energized Office machines
DIN IEC 601/VDE 0750
Safety of medical electrical equipment
and with Article 10 of the Low Voltage Directive
73/23/EEC issued on February 19, 1973, by the
European Community.
When you use electrical equipment in
installations and under ambient conditions
requiring higher safety Standards, you must
comply with the provisions as specified in the
applicable regulations for installation in your
country.

Do not miss out on the benefits of our full warranty.
Please complete the warranty registration card,
indicating the date of installation, and return the
card to your Sartorius dealer.
Storage and Shipping Conditions
Storage temperature: -40°C... +70°C
-40°F... 158°F
After unpacking the scale, please check it immediately for
any visible damage as a result of rough handling during
shipment.
lf this is the case, proceed as directed in the section
entitled "Safety Inspection."
Save all parts of the packaging and the box because
you may need to ship your scale.
Before you pack your scale to ship it, unplug all
connected cables to prevent damage.
Do not expose the scale unnecessarily to extreme temperatures, moisture, shocks, blows or vibrations.

Equipment Supplied
The equipment supplied includes the following components:
— Scale
— Weighing platform
— Power supply
— Key
— Set of brief instructions
— Instruction manual entitled "Installation and Oper-
ating Instructions"
Installations Instructions
Your Sartorius Scale will provide accurate readouts even
when it is exposed to unfavorable conditions.
However, exposure to intensive heat radiation, vibrations
and drafts may affect the weighing accuracy and should
be avoided äs much as possible.
You can adapt the scale to your requirements simply
by changing the menu code settings in the scale
operating program.
For more information, see pages 23 through 29.

7
Startup
Place the weighing platform
(5)
on the scale.
Connecting the Scale to AC Power
The scale is energized by an external power supply.
Make sure that the voltage rating printed on this unit is
identical to your local voltage rating.
lf the voltage specified on the label or the plug design of
the power supply does not match the rating or Standard
you use, please contact your Sartorius Office or dealer.
Insert the right-angle plug of the power supply in the AC
jack as shown in the picture on the left. Tighten the screw
by hand.
The IP 65 protection rating is guaranteed only if a
rubber gasket is instalied and the plug is securely
connected to form a leak-tight seal.
Then plug the power supply into a wall outlet.
Important Note:
Only use original Sartorius Power Supplies identified by
the Sartorius label. Use of power supplies from other
manufacturers, even if these units have a registered
approval rating from a national testing laboratory, requires
the consent of a certified Sartorius service technician.

8
Connecting Electronic Devices (Peripherals)
Make sure to unplug the power supply from the wall outlet
or from the scale before you connect or disconnect a
peripheral device (printer or PC) to or from the interface
port (Option).
Safety Precautions
The power supply rated to Class 2 (double insulation) can
be plugged into a wall outlet without taking any additional
safety precautions. The pole (ground) of the Output
voltage is connected to the scale housing (metallic parts),
which can be grounded for Operation.
The interface (see "Interfacing Devices" on page 33 in
addition) is also electrically connected to the scale housing (ground).

How to Operate the Scale
After initially connecting the scale to line power, allow
for at least 30 minutes' warmup.
Turning the Display On and Off
Press the ON/OFF key
(8)
to turn the display on or off.
Self-Test
After the scale is turned on, an automatic self-test of the
scale's electronic circuitry is performed. During this test,
all segments briefly appear in the display (full-segment
display test).
lt ends with the readout of all set parameters.
Taring
lf you wish to use a Container of if the weight display does
not indicate "
0.0 g/0 g
" (or the equivalent with the weight
unit of your choice), press the tare key before weighing.

10
The zero symbol (with arrows)
->0<-
in the weight display
shows that the scale has been exactly tared so the display
reads
"0"
.
Weighing
Place your sample on the weighing platform
(5)
to determine the weight.
Read off the weight indicated in the display
(7)
as soon as
the motion detection symbol "~" above the plus/minus
sign disappears.
In addition to grams, this scale gives you a variety of
other menu-definable weight unit options.
Select the weight unit you desire from the fable on
page 26 and change the code in the scale operating
program (for this purpose, see pages 23 through 29).
Auto Zero
This scale has an automatic zero tracking function, known
as "Auto Zero" (can be turned off by menu code - see
"Scale Operating Program").
Any changes off zero <± 0.5 digit per second will be set to
zero automatically.

11
Over/Under Checkweighing
Over/under checkweighing allows you to sort and classify
products according to preset limits.
"Classification" means sorting samples based on their
weight into classes with defined weight ranges.
RED/GREEN/YELLOW Indicators
The RED/GREEN/YELLOW indicators are convenient
visual aids.
When you weigh the object to be checked, one of these
color-coded indicators will light up to indicate the Status of
the sample as follows:
RED
= the sample is underweight
GREEN
= the sample is o.k. and within the
preselected tolerance range
Yellow
= the sample is overweight
Wide Range Analog Indicator (Bar Graph)
At the same time, the wide range analog indicator, a bar
graph, gives you additional information on your sample.
The digital readout shows you the difference of the weight
of your sample from the target weight (depending on the
menu code set in the scale operating program) and the
bar graph helps you weigh-in accurately.
In addition, you can define the mode of this wide band
analog indicator to best meet your requirements.

12
For example, for a target weight of 100 g, you can choose
between
— a continuous bar graph that travels from the left to the
right (for determination of a sample weight)
— a bar graph with a zero point = target weight
(for determination of the difference in weight)
— and a "traveling marker."
The bar graph mentioned above can be shown in the
following user-selectable application modes for the weight
display. Depending on your choice of the display mode,
set the appropriate menu code in the scale operating
program (see pages 23 through 29).
