Operation
Notes on Analytical Weighing
with Weigh Cells
Handling of Samples and Containers
Samples should be acclimatized to the
temperature of the weigh cell.
This is the only way to avoid measurement
errors caused by air buoyancy and
fluctuations resulting from convection
currents across the surface of the sample.
These negative effects increase as the
volume and/or surface area of the sample
increases. For this reason, the size of the
tare container should be appropriate for
the sample.
Samples and containers should not be
touched by the operator‘s hands. This
is because the hygroscopic effect of
fingerprints and the effect of the hand’s
temperature can influence the measurement results.
Samples must be applied very carefully,
whether manually (using a forceps) or
automatically (by a robot or filling system).
When designing a draft shield device, steps
must be taken to keep the increase in
temperature within the weighing chamber
to a minimum (e.g., using a bypass).
Weighing Electrostatically Charged
Samples and Containers
Significant measuring errors can occur
when electrostatically charged objects
are weighed. This problem particularly
involves samples that have extremely poor
conductivity (glass, plastic, filters) since
they can discharge electrostatic – i.e.,
friction-induced – charges through the
weighing pan over a relatively long period
of time only.
The result is a force acting between the
charge on the sample and the permanently
installed parts of the weigh cell. This
causes the readout to fluctuate constantly.
Ionization can be applied to make the air
around the sample conductive. This allows
the charge to be compensated through
the air, or discharged through the ground
(grounded).
Aside from purely mechanical solutions
(e.g., using a special weighing pan to
shield the sample), bombarding the
sample with ions of opposing polarity to
neutralize the surface charge is one of the
most effective methods for eliminating
static electricity. Sartorius can provide
ionization devices for installation in
weighing systems.
The area around the weigh cell, like
plastic parts, can also contain charges that
negatively affect the accuracy of weighing
results. Appropriate steps (grounding)
taken in the design of a draft shield device
can counteract such effects.
The weigh cell base plate and the
electronics base plate should be
grounded via the screw connections.
Weighing Magnetic or
Magnetizable Samples
It is technically impossible to avoid
using magnetizable materials for
the production of weigh cells. This
is primarily because the operating
principle of high-resolution weigh cells
is based on compensation of the load
through magnetic forces.
When weighing magnetic or
magnetizable samples or containers,
interaction between the sample or
container and the above-mentioned
parts inside the weigh cell may have
a distorting effect on the weighing
results.
To keep such effects to a minimum,
we recommend increasing the distance
between the sample/container and
the weighing system using a nonmagnetic material. The force is reduced
quadratically with the increase in
distance.
Magnetizable or magnetized samples
and the weigh cell itself interact with
magnetic fields and magnetizable
or magnetized parts in the area
surrounding the weighing system.
The system can be shielded from
external magnetic fields to some
extent using (soft magnetic) plates.
Effects of Drafts
Depending on the size of the load
receptor and the sample, the effects of
drafts may occur.
To minimize this effect, install a draft
shield for protection.
Protect the weigh cell from drafts.
Calibration/Adjustment
Calibration/adjustment can be
performed as follows:
– Using control commands sent by the
CAS-Suite configuration software from
Sartorius, installed on a computer
(see page 22 for the commands)
or

Commands (Data Input Format Compatible with Current Weigh Cells)
The computer connected via the data port can send commands to the weigh cell for controlling functions. The commands sent are control
commands and may have different formats. Control commands consist of up to 13 characters. Each character must be transmitted according
to the settings configured in the operating menu for data transmission.
Formats for Control Commands
Format 1: Esc ! CR LF
Format 2: Esc ! # _ CR LF
Esc: Escape (optional) CR: Carriage return

Synchronization
During data communication between
the weigh cell and a connected device
(computer), messages consisting of
ASCII characters are transmitted via the
interface. For error-free data exchange,
parameters for baud rate, parity,
handshake mode and character format
must be identical for both units.
You can set these parameters in the
Setup menu so that they match those
of the connected device. You can also
define parameters in the balance/scale
to make data output dependent on
various conditions. These conditions are
described under each of the application
program descriptions.
No errors are generated just because
no peripheral device is connected to an
interface port (open data port).
Handshake
The weigh cell interface
(Sartorius Balance Interface = SBI)
has transmit and receive buffers.
You can define the different handshake
parameters in the Setup menu of your
The software handshake is controlled via
XON and XOFF. When a device is switched
on, XON must be transmitted to enable
any connected device to communicate.
Data Output by Print Command
The print command can be transmitted by
pressing r or by a software command
(Esc P).
Automatic Data Output
Activate the “Auto Print” operating mode
to have data output to the interface port
without a print command. You can have
synchronized data output automatically
at defined display update intervals, with
or without the stability parameter. The
length of a print interval depends on the
operating menu settings for Ambient
(ambient conditions, menu code 1. 1. 1.
x) and aut.cycl. (time-dependent autom.
printing, menu code 1. 6. 3. x).
If you activate the auto print setting,
data will be transmitted immediately the
moment you turn on the balance/scale.
In the operating menu, you can define
whether automatic printing can be stopped
and started by pressing the “Print” key or
using the interface.
Very stable (1.1.1.1) 20 20
Stable (1.1.1.2) 10 10
Unstable (1.1.1.3) 5 5
Very unstable (1.1.1.4) 2.5 2.5

Page 24
Data Interface:
Compatibility with Older Weigh Cells (Previous Models)
Once command »ESC s9_« has been
sent, data input and data output behave as in the earlier Sartorius WZ-/WZA
weigh cells (previous models).
Data Output Format
In operating mode »SBI«,
16 characters are printed out.
Example:
+ 253 pcs
Data Output Format with 16 Characters
Characters that are displayed blank are printed as spaces. Display values without a decimal
point are output without a decimal point.
The type of character that can be output depends on the character‘s position:
