Touch-free Draft Shield Operation

The motorized draft shield can be opened

a simple movement of your hand over the
infrared sensor YHS01MS is all it takes.
This provides additional safety, especially
for applications involving toxic substances.
In addition, the IR sensor can also be used
to trigger other functions, such as printing,
isoCAL or ionizer, etc.

Q-Grid Pan
This gridded weighing pan, Q-Grid (accessory option
YWP03MS), is available for all Cubis® models with a
readability of 10 mg and 100 mg, except for model 5202S.
Q-Grid lets you easily operate a balance with a large
pan under laminar flow in safety weighing cabinets,
workbenches or even in fume hoods, without restricting
its performance. This saves considerable effort in busy
pharmaceutical laboratories.

Communication 15

Q-Com for Unlimited

Communication

Web Communication
Cubis® MSA features a Web Services commu­nication
­platform as an option. This standardized communication
technology permits external software systems, such as
LIMS, ELN, etc. to display and use information, input fields,
menus or complex operations on the touch screen of the
balance. Bidirectional data transfer is enabled without
complicated driver software. This eliminates the need to
install computers, laptops or ­terminals in the direct vicinity
of your balance.

SD Card as a Storage Medium

You can use an SD card to download all data, such as user
master data or tasks, easily and securely from one Cubis® to
another (no SD card port on the MSE display and control
unit). Moreover, you can use this SD card as a storage
medium for your measurement data.

Communication Protocols
Cubis® is standard-equipped to support ASCII and SICS
communication protocols. You can therefore have your
balance communicate with other manufacturers’ software.
Used with the MSA display and control unit, Cubis® can
optionally communicate over XML.

Interfaces
All Cubis® balances have three standard-equipped interface
ports (USB, RS232C, Ethernet [not on MSE]) and three
optional ports (Bluetooth®, PS/2, RS232C), enabling nearly
any type of bidirectional communication. Now that’s
what we call maximum connectivity!

Configurable Printout
The scope and content of the information to be printed is
freely selectable. Via the Sartorius YDP30 printer, it is even
possible to print out barcodes and QR codes.

Repeatability is the standard deviation “s”; it is calculated from 5 ABA cycles under the following conditions:
1)
Optimal conditions: automatic measurement without operator influence measured in a laboratory under E1 conditions, on a decoupled weighing stone,
no drafts from above.
2)
Standard conditions E: measurement performed manually in a laboratory under E1 conditions, on a decoupled weighing stone, no drafts from above
3)
Standard conditions F: measurement performed manually in a laboratory under at least F1 conditions, on a non-decoupled weighing stone,
air conditioning and minimal drafts from above
