1 Introduction
1.1 Safety instructions
General
The ICS466x weighing terminal is approved for operation in Category 2 / DIV 1 hazardous areas.
If the ICS466x weighing terminal is used in hazardous areas, special care must be taken. The code of
practice is oriented to the "Safe Distribution" concept drawn up by METTLER TOLEDO.
Competence
• The weighing system may only be installed, maintained and repaired by authorized METTLER TOLEDO
service personnel.
• The mains supply may only be installed by a specialist authorized by the owner-operator.
Ex approval
• No modifications may be made to the terminal and no repair work may be performed on the modules.
Any weighing platform or system modules that are used must comply with the specifications contained
in this manual. Non-compliant equipment jeopardizes the intrinsic safety of the system, cancels the "Ex"
approval and renders any warranty or product liability claims null and void.
• The safety of the weighing system is only guaranteed when the weighing system is operated, installed
and maintained in accordance with the respective instructions.
• Also comply with the following:
– the instructions for the system modules,
– the regulations and standards in the respective country,
– the statutory requirement for electrical equipment installed in hazardous areas in the respective
country,
– all instructions related to safety issued by the owner.
• The explosion-protected weighing system must be checked to ensure compliance with the requirements
for safety before being put into service for the first time, following any service work and every 3 years, at
least.
Operation
• Prevent the build-up of static electricity.
– Always wear suitable working clothes when operating or performing service work in a hazardous
area.
– Only use the weighing terminal when electrostatic processes leading to propagating brush
discharges are impossible.
• Prevent the build-up of dust layers.
• Do not use protective coverings for the devices.
• Avoid damage to the system components.

Tolerance type Specifying which parameters have to be entered for Over/Under Check-
weighing
Off No tolerance type predefined. It can be set individually when entering
Over/Under Checkweighing parameters.
Absolute A low and a high weight value must be entered. These weights and all
weights within this range are treated as being within tolerance.
Relative The target weight has to be entered as an absolute weight, upper and
lower tolerances as deviations in weight from the target weight.
Percent The target weight has to be entered as an absolute weight, upper and
lower tolerances as deviations in percent from the target weight. This
setting is not available for counting.

Act. deft. values Activating/deactivating usage of default tolerance values.
Rel. weight Entering the default values for Tolerance – and Tolerance +.
Per. weight Entering the default percentages for Tolerance – and Tolerance +.
Rel. pcs Entering the default values for Tolerance – and Tolerance + in pieces.
Note When always using the same tolerances for Over/Under Checkweighing,
store these tolerances to avoid entering tolerances all the time.

Output Setting output options
Threshold as % of Tol– Threshold to determine at which weight the status of Tol– is indicated.
To avoid Tol– being active at zero or a very low weight, you can define
the "Threshold as % of Tol–".
When Threshold as % of Tol– is reached, the colored display will change
from the "Below threshold" color to the "Tolerance –" color.
This feature can be used to show the "Tolerance –" color close to the
target or as additional setpoint for I/O control.
This setpoint is available on the optional digital I/O interface as well.
Example: Target = 1000 g, Tol– = 100 g
Threshold = x % * (Target – (Tol–))
Threshold = 12 % * (1000 g – 100 g) = 12 % * 900 g = 108 g
In the example, the Tol– color is displayed for weights from 108 g up to
900 g.
