4.6 Setting up the balance
4.6.1 Weighing for the first time

After commissioning the new balance, the first weighing can be carried out. This will also familiarize you with
the operation of the balance.
If the balance is not exactly level, a warning text is generated after switching on the balance with the request to
level the balance.
4.6.1.1 Switching on the balance

Balance is connected to the power supply.
Terminal and balance are interconnected.
– To switch on, press [ ].
Display appears.
Balance is ready to use.
4.6.1.2 Leveling the balance

The balance has a built-in level sensor which permanently monitors correct horizontal alignment.
If the level sensor detects incorrect leveling, the status light at the
terminal shows red. A warning text is displayed and an audible
warning generated. A status icon also appears in the top right
corner of the display.
1 To start the leveling assistant, tap [LevelGuide] in the warn
ing message.
Window with level indicator is displayed in real-time.
2 Observe the level indicator on the screen.

A message recommending adjustment of the balance is
displayed.
5 Tap [Adjust.int] to adjust the balance.
4.6.1.3 Performing a simple weighing

To perform a simple weighing, only the keys in the lower part of the terminal are required. The balance has sep
arate keys for zeroing [ ] and taring [ ].

Zeroing
– Press [ ].
Zeroing
After zeroing, all weights also the tare weight apply to this new zero point and the following apply: tare weight =
0, net weight = gross weight = 0.
Taring
Note
A negative weight is not permitted. An error message is generated. When the stability detector icon extinguishes
(small ring left of the weight display), the indication is stable. The weight is displayed.
If a weighing container is used, the balance must first be set
to zero.
1 Place the container on the balance.
2 Press [ ].
The balance is tared.
The weight of the container is set as the new tare weight and
the previous tare (if available) is overwritten.
The Net display signals that all indicated weights are net
weights.
Congratulations!
The first weighing is now complete. The following sections contain further information about the extensive func
tions and applications of this balance.
4.6.2 Handle for operation of the side draft shield doors

The draft shield of the balance can be adjusted to the ambient conditions, weighing method and material to be
weighed.
The position of the handles determines which draft shield doors (left, right or both) are opened.
Try out different combinations by moving the handles up or down. We recommend setting the glass draft shield
so that only the door required for loading is opened. The balance then operates faster due to less disturbing air
flows than with a fully open glass draft shield.
Note
It is recommended to make connections when the draft shield is closed.
1 Move the side door handle downwards.
2 Move the doors fully back.

4.6.3 Setting the reading angle and positioning the terminal
4.6.3.1 Changing the reading angle

Attention
Before mounting an ErgoClip, the balance must be switched off with the [ ] key.
Important note!
If the balance is not switched off before mounting, the ProFACT function will not be activated.
Reason
The mounted ErgoClip causes the dead load tolerance range of the balance to be exceeded. As a result, the bal
ance does not activate ProFACT so as not to interrupt an assumed weighing process.
When the status icon is displayed, this means that: "The balance needs to activate ProFACT", but cannot.

2 Remove the SmartGrid from the balance.
3 Snap the ErgoClip on to the SmartGrid.
4 Place the SmartGrid with mounted ErgoClip on the balance.
An optional "Flask" or "Tube" ErgoClip can be used.

5.1 Adjustment/Test
Introduction for adjustment and tests

This section applies to the configuration of the balance for carrying out adjustments and tests.
The balance is assembled and installed as stated in the operating instructions.
The balance is leveled.
1 Connect the printer to printout settings or reports.
2 Activate the printer as an output device in the peripheral device settings.
Principles for carrying out adjustments and tests
Balances play a decisive role in research, development, quality assurance and production. Weighing errors
cost time and money and non-compliance with legal requirements can be detrimental to health. Good Weigh
ing Practice™ (GWP®) is the science based global weighing standard for the efficient life cycle management of
weighing systems. The risk-based approach allows you to improve control of your whole measuring process,
which in turn helps to avoid costly out of specification results. Our Feasible Cost Savings Optimized routine test
ing based on your risk management ensures consistently good quality in critical applications. Additionally, a
sound testing scheme saves costs by eliminating unnecessary tests in lower risk processes.
Test Manager was specially developed, as part of our balance firmware, to simplify routine tests. In combina
tion with GWP® Verification, efficient balance testing is ensured and specific audit requirements can be ful
filled more easily.
u www.mt.com/GWPVerification
Test Manager
Test Manager is a collection of security functions for the balance. These individually programmable functions
help to maintain measuring accuracy via e.g. routine testing of the balance with external test weights. By pro
viding active support with respect to test requests and predefined guided sequences will ensure that outstanding
tests are not forgotten and complex tasks such as repeatability tests can be carried out easily.
40 System Settings
Additional functions were developed to prevent measuring errors. These are, e.g. temperature sensors that can
register possible temperature changes in the measuring cell and initiate adjustment by using internal weights
which facilitate and maintain consistent accuracy.
The flexibility and customization of the test manager results in user guidance and appropriate messages, while
performing specific operations, followed by complete records and documentation via printout or in conjunction
with PC software.
The configuration process
In order to prepare the balance for a routine test and adjustment, a straightforward 3-stage process is required:
1 Register the test weights.
Information relating to all test weights is stored in a balance database.
2 Define the test sequence.
Describes the type of test (method) and the test weight and tolerance to be carried out.
3 Carry out the test sequence.
The task defines when and how the test sequence must be started and carried out.
Documentation and storage

To ensure the traceability of adjustments and tests, it is important to print the settings and periodically the
results of the test history.
The results are stored in the test history up to a maximum of 120 entries. When this limit is reached, the oldest
results are overwritten.
Each time the test sequence is changed, the version number is increased and displayed in the right top corner
of the display. It is recommended to print and file each new version in a folder.
A complete list of individual settings can be printed by pressing the [ ] key while the respective menu is open.

5.1.2.1.1 EC - eccentric load test
Navigation: [ ] > [System] > [Adjust/Test] > Test Sequences > Test Sequence 1 > Method > [EC]
44 System Settings
The purpose of the EC method (eccentric load test) is to ensure that every eccentric load deviation is within the
necessary user SOP tolerances.
The method uses two test tolerances (method tolerances), s T1 and s T2, which are applied to the test
sequence result. They work exactly the same as the weight tolerances T1 and T2.

5.1.2.1.2 RP1 - repeatability test
Navigation: [ ] > [System] > [Adjust/Test] > Test Sequences > Test Sequence 1 > Method > [RP1]
The RP1 method calculates the mean and standard deviation (Symbol s) of a series of measurements with a
single test weight in order to determine the repeatability of the balance.
The method uses two result tolerances (method tolerances), s T1 and s T2, which are applied to the test
sequence result. They function similar to T1 and T2.

5.1.2.1.6 SERVICE - reminder

Navigation: [ ] > [System] > [Adjust/Test] > Test Sequences > Test Sequence 1 > Method > [SERVICE]
The SERVICE method is more a reminder than a method. It is normally set to perform regular checks of various
data (dates) in the background. It is used e.g. as a reminder for the next service date or MinWeigh date. The
date is checked on a regular basis and a message appears when the defined task is due. The SERVICE method
can also be used as early pre-warning.
The SERVICE method can also only be used for the display of Preparation Instructions. For example, the user
is requested to level the balance on a daily basis. In this special case, the Preparation Instructions must be
set in the test sequence setting to Standard. Ensure that no elements are selected in the method status.
Note
To enable this test sequence to be ended without user actions, Preparation Instructions must be set in the test
sequence to None.
Status Defines the reminder target. This is either an event (Battery Battery Change | Ser
Change, Service...) or a defined task. vice | MinWeigh |
Values can be (deactivated) or (activated). Weight Cal. | Task 1
… Task 12
Early Warning Defines the pre-warning time. 1 … 365 days
Alert Note (7 days)*
With one SERVICE reminder, several dates can be checked
simultaneously. The same pre-warning time applies to all dates
however. If different pre-warning times are necessary, several
SERVICE methods must be defined.

DHCP Activates/deactivates the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. Off* | On
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is used to automatical
ly assign to the client PC a currently unused IP address from an
address pool. Other information such as the domain name, stan
dard gateway and specific DNS server can also be transferred to
the client.
IP-Address Defines the IP address in the format "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" Any
(X = 0 … 255).
The IP address must be distinctive within a corporate network
and conform to the conventions for IP addresses.
Subnet Mask Defines the subnet in the format "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" Any
(X = 0 … 255).
The subnet mask is used to inform the routers within a network
which bits in the four quads in the IP address are significant for
routing in the search for the addressed computer within a specific
network.
Standard Gate Defines the Standard Gateway Address in the format Any
way "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" (X = 0 … 255).
This may be necessary if the network is connected to another net
work via a router.
A gateway denotes the transition between two networks. A gate
way computer is a special computer connected to both networks.
Different protocols are converted in certain circumstances. A gate
way can also be a transition from a logical (often also purely
organizational) network to another, whereby both used the same
protocol.
Domain Name Defines the Domain Name Server Address in the format Any
Server "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX" (X = 0 … 255).
If domain names for calling network users are supported in the
TCP/IP network, the domain name server address must be
entered here.
Hostname Defines the computer or server. not available
General computer or server (on which specific user services are
normally provided). Often used for the computer to which a data
link has been established.

6.2 Working with the weighing application

This section describes the use of various functions of the Weighing application in practice.
6.2.1 Changing the weighing result resolution

The balance is set by default so that the weighing result is displayed with the maximum resolution, depending
on the particular model (corresponding to 1d). The weighing result resolution can be changed at any time.
Note
These function keys are inactive when the MinWeigh function is active or a free weighing unit is used.
Function keys are activated.
– Tap the respective function key.
When the respective function key is tapped again, the balance displays the result with normal resolution
again.
1/2d Displays the last decimal place in increments of 2.
1/5d Displays the last decimal place in increments of 5.
1/10d Displays the result in a 10x lower resolution.
6.2.2 Taring options

The tare weight is normally determined by placing the weighing container on the balance and subsequently
pressing the [ ] key. The balance offers further taring options, which facilitate daily working procedures.
Manual entry of the tare weight (subtraction of tare weight or PreTare)
If the same weighing container is used over an extended period, the weight can be entered manually. This
saves taring when placing the weighing container on the balance. The tare weight is displayed as a negative
value when the weighing container is removed. When the container is placed on the balance again, the display
shows zero and the balance is immediately ready to use.
PreTare Function key is activated.
1 Tap [PreTare].
2 Enter the required tare weight.
Check the weighing unit, which is displayed to the right of the tare weight
(free weighing units are not available for manual entry of the tare
weight).
A selection of available units can be displayed by tapping the weighing
unit.
Note
Instead of entering the weight, place the tare container on the weighing
pan and subsequently tap the button with the balance symbol. Wait until
the displayed weight is stable before taking over with [OK]!
3 Confirm with [OK] to activate subtraction of the tare weight.
The value for subtraction of the tare weight remains stored until a new
value is entered, the [ ] or [ ] key is pressed or the balance is
switched off.
Using the automatic taring function

The balance can be configured to always automatically interpret the first applied weight as the tare weight.
AutoTare function is activated.
1 Press [ ] (otherwise the automatic acceptance of the tare weight will not function).
2 Place an empty container on the weighing pan.
When the weight is stable, this is taken over as the tare weight.
The weight display is set to zero and Net symbol is displayed.
3 Start weighing.
When the full container is removed, the Net symbol extinguishes and the stored tare weight is deleted.
Working with the tare memories

If different tare containers are used, their weights can be stored and displayed by pressing a button at any time
whilst weighing. Up to 10 tare memories can be defined.
Note
The memory designations correspond to those defined in the menu, e.g. [Tare1].
Tare Store Function key is activated.
Tare memories are defined and activated.
1 Tap [Tare Store].
2 Tap the required memory.
The associated tare weight is loaded.
The tare weight remains active until a new tare memory is selected, the
[ ] or [ ] button is pressed, the application is changed, a differ
ent user profile is selected or the balance is switched off.
6.2.3 Working with the lot counter

The lot counter places a number in front of each weight during protocol printing, which is automatically incre
mented by 1 with each printout.
Note
When working with the lot counter, it is recommended to also activate the associated information field. This
allows the current lot counter reading to be displayed at any time.
Each time a printout is started with the [ ] button, the weights are preceded by a lot counter, which is incre
mented by 1 with each new printout. When the lot counter reaches the maximum value of 999, the numbering
starts at 1 again.
Note
The lot counter also functions with automatic protocol printout.
See Specifications for automatic protocol printout (page 77).
Example: Printout
1 N 135.87 g
2 N 184.24 g
3 N 117.96 g
Lotcounter Function key is activated.

1 Tap [Lotcounter].
2 Enter the start value for the lot counter (1 … 999).
The value 0 is preset by default, i.e. the lot counter is deactivated.
3 Confirm with [OK] to activate the lot counter.
6.2.4 Working with identifications

Identifications are descriptive texts for individual weighing processes that allow perfect assignment of weighing
objects to specific customer orders. The identifications are also printed on the protocols (or transferred to a con
nected computer).
The 4 identifications are designated by default with [ID1], [ID2], [ID3] and [ID4]. These designations can be
replaced with other titles to suit the particular application (max. 20 characters). The selected designations (e.g.
customer for the [ID1], order for the [ID2], lot for the [ID3] and batch for the [ID4]) are subsequently avail
able under the [ID] function key.
Note
If the IDs are deactivated, the function key is grayed and cannot be actuated. In this case, the IDs must first be
activated before they can be used.
See Definition of identifications and protocol headers (page 84).
When working with identifications, it is recommended to also activate the respective information fields. The
information fields show the designations entered for the identifications.

is displayed.
6.2.6 Working with the "MinWeigh" function

The MinWeigh function ensures that the weighing results are within defined tolerances appropriate to the
requirements of your quality assurance system. This function must be activated and programmed by a service
engineer.
It also recommended to activate the three information fields MinWeigh, RefTare and Tare.
Note
If several reference tare weights (and the associated minimum weights) were programmed by the service engi
neer, the required minimum weight automatically changes appropriate to the applied tare weight.
The weighing result can be printed with the [ ] key. The example printout shows part of a sample protocol
containing specifications for the MinWeigh function (method, reference tare weight and required minimum
weight) as well as the current weights. The asterisk to the left of the net weight indicates that the minimum
weight in the example was not reached and the value does not satisfy the quality assurance requirements.
Example: Printout
MW-Method USP
Ref. Tare 120.00 g
MinWeigh 20.00 g
*N 17.03 g
T 46.85 g
G 63.88 g
MinWeigh function is activated.
1 Activate the MinWeigh, RefTare and Tare information fields.
The values and references are displayed in the information field.
In the display to the left of the weighing result is a small weight icon with the character "<".
2 Press [G].
Sets the display to zero.
3 Place the tare weight (weighing container) on the weighing pan and press [H] to tare the
balance.
The balance determines the tare weight and displays it in the Tare information field.
The Net symbol (net weight) is displayed next to the weight display.
4 Place the weighing object on the balance, e.g. 20 g.
During the weighing operation, the weight is initially displayed in a light color to indicate
that the minimum weight has not yet been reached.
When the required minimum weight is reached, the weight is displayed in dark digits and the
small weight icon extinguishes.
Note
If the status icon (small weight icon with clock) appears at the top right of the display (below the
date and time), the next test for the MinWeigh function is due. Contact the relevant customer ser
vice department. A service engineer will perform the MinWeigh test as quickly as possible.
Example
When working according to GMP, the permissible tolerance is 1%, 2 s. When working according to USP, this
is 0.1 %, 2 s.
6.3 Balance adjustment and testing

Like any precision instrument, the balance must be adjusted at regular intervals. The balance offers extensive
options for adjustment and testing.
Deviations must be able to be identified at an early stage and process tolerances checked. The risk can be min
imized by regular testing.
The adjustment is intended for adjusting the sensitivity of the balance. For this purpose, at least one reference
weight is placed on the weighing pan either manually or motorized. This is weighed and the indicated weight is
stored. The sensitivity of the balance is subsequently corrected by the required amount.
The test is intended for testing the sensitivity of the balance.
See Settings for adjustments and tests (page 41).
The balance is set to full automatic adjustment with ProFACT at the factory. ProFACT adjusts the balance fully
automatically based on predefined criteria. Manual adjustments and/or tests can be carried out as required with
the internal or an external weight.
If a printer is connected to the balance, the adjustments can be printed out according to user-specific settings.
See Protocol – Definition of adjustment and test reports (page 55).
The following descriptions assume that the [Adjust.int], [Adjust.ext], [Test int] and [Test ext] function keys
are activated for adjustment and tests.
6.3.1 Adjustment
6.3.1.1 Adjustment with internal weight/ProFACT

ProFACT adjusts the balance fully automatically based on predefined criteria.

6.4 Working with the test sequence function

Define test sequences, test (method) and weight to be used. The user is guided through the test with the display
of clear instructions. The test should be carried out according to GWP® or other QM systems.
All parameters and values for the test sequence have been defined and the test sequence assigned to a task.
Define tasks - when and how the test sequence will be carried out. If standard is selected under the [Prepara
tion Instructions] menu item, preparatory instructions are displayed in the test sequence. These correspond to
the typical SOP standard. These instructions must be followed and confirmed with [OK] before the rest of the
test sequence can be continued.
Note
The extensiveness of the test depends on the settings selected (e.g. Preparation Instructions, Action if Failure,
AutoZero).
See Test sequences (page 42) subsequence "Configuration of test sequence parameters".
On completion of the test, the measurements are printed together with the results.
A method describes the type of test to be carried out and defines the main purpose of a test sequence. There are
8 different methods available.
6.4.1 Starting a task

A task can be started either automatically or manually depending on the particular settings.

When a specific day or time is reached, the small GWP icon appears at the top right of the display
(below the date and time). This is an indication that the balance requires a task to be performed.
An instruction window is simultaneously displayed, which guides the user through the test. These
instructions must be followed.
Test sequence is defined and assigned to a task.
1 Follow the instructions and confirm with [OK].
2 Remove all weights and confirm with [OK].
3 Level the balance and confirm with [OK].

7.1.6 Define plausibility limits

Navigation: [ ] > [Statistics] > [ ] > PlausibilityCheck
Plausibility checking is a security precaution. It prevents the entry of incorrect values in the statistics. Here you
can define the limit value (as percentage) for the plausibility of the weighing results.
Example
With a plausibility limit of 30%, all weight values that are within ±30% of the nominal or average value are
regarded as plausible and are entered in the statistics. All other weight values are ignored and excluded from
the statistics.
Note
When you have defined a nominal weight value and tolerance limits, make sure that the plausibility limit for the
weight is greater than the selected tolerance limits. Otherwise values that are actually within tolerance may not
be entered in the statistics.
See Weighing out to a nominal value (page 113).

7.2 Working with the Statistics application

Navigation: [ ] > [Statistics]
This section describes how to use the Statistics application. Among other things, you can determine a tare
weight, change the resolution of the weighing result or use identifiers.
You are probably already familiar with these options from the Weighing application. They are therefore not
described again here.
7.2.1 Capturing statistics from a weighing series

For optimal use of the statistical functions, you should have a printer connected to your balance. Otherwise we
recommend that you enable the four statistical data fields that are the most important for your application (e.g.
n, x, s and Sum).
Initial settings
To use statistics, you must enable at least the following three function keys:

M+ – Enable function keys.
Result
CL Result
We also recommend enabling the following two function keys: They allow you to delete incorrect values [CL
Last] and to define the number of samples to be included in a series of weighings [Max n].
CL Last – Enable additional function keys.
Max n
Procedure
Series weighing
If the number of samples to be weighed out for a series is specified, tap the [Max n] function key and enter the
number of samples (1 to 999). The series is terminated automatically after the last sample has been weighed
out. The result window is opened and the result log is printed. This function key is only active when no mea
surement data is present in the statistics. If you enter 0 (zero) for [Max n], the series does not have a defined
limit and you can weigh out a maximum of 999 samples.
When working with a weighing container, place the container on the balance and press the [ ] key to tare
the balance.
Alternatively you can use the tare memory or the automatic taring function. These functions are described in the
instructions for the Weighing application.
Note
If you start a weighing series with a user-defined weighing unit, the unit cannot be changed until the series of
measurements is finished.
See Defining free weighing units (page 78).
The balance is tared [ ].
1 Tap [Max n].
2 Enter the number and confirm with [OK].
3 Load the first sample and tap the [M+] function key.
When the weight is stable (the dashes disappear), it is entered in the statistics.
The protocol header and the result (single value) of the current weighing are printed.
4 Remove the first sample.
If the additive mode is activated, the sample can remain on the weighing pan. The balance is automatically
tared after each weight is entered in the statistics.
5 Load further samples in succession. Confirm each weight with the [M+] function key (unnecessary if auto
matic weight entry is activated).
6 Remove the sample and tare the balance (unnecessary if additive mode is activated).
Each value is automatically recorded after being entered in the statistics.
After the last sample is weighed, the result window is automatically opened and printed.

The result window contains the results of a series of weighings. The information selected for result
recording is displayed.
If the result window consists of several screen pages, paging between the individual pages can take
place with the two arrow keys.
7 Tap [CL Result] to end measurement and clear the memory for the next series.
A confirmation window is displayed.
8 To delete the statistics, confirm with [OK].
The statistics are deleted.
The function key is inactive and grayed.
Sample weighing
1 Load the sample and tap the [M+] function key.
When the weight is stable (the dashes disappear), it is entered in the statistics.
2 Remove the sample.
3 Tap [Result].
The result window is displayed.
4 Press [ ] to print the result protocol.
5 Tap [OK] to exit the result window.
6 Tap [CL Result] to end measurement and clear the memory for the next series.
Note
An error message is displayed if you tap the [M+] function key but no weight change has occurred. This pre
vents you from accidentally acquiring the sample twice.
If you have mistakenly weighed out an incorrect amount and stored the weighing result, you can use the [CL
Last] function key to cancel the last value. It is only available if values are already present in the memory; oth
erwise the key is grayed out and cannot be actuated. The key is disabled after a value is deleted and is not
enabled again until the next value has been entered in the statistics.
If a weight value is outside the plausibility limit, a corresponding error message is displayed after the [M+] key
is tapped. The value cannot be entered in the statistics. No error message is displayed if automatic weight entry
is activated. However, the value is not entered in the statistics and it does not appear in the statistics protocol.
7.2.2 Weighing out to a nominal value

The Statistics application provides additional functions that simplify weighing out samples to a defined nomi
nal value. You can use these functions for individual weighings or for series weighings with statistics.

Initial settings
To enter the nominal weight and the associated tolerance range, enable the function keys listed below. Also
enable the data fields with the same names so that the defined values will be displayed.
Nominal – Enable function keys.
+Tolerance
-Tolerance
Procedure
Important
Ensure that the plausibility limit is greater than the defined tolerance values. Weights that are within the toler
ance range but greater than the plausibility limit cannot be entered in the statistics. If necessary, change the
plausibility limit for the weight values.
See Define plausibility limits (page 110).
Note
The function keys for entering the nominal weight and the tolerance range are disabled if values are already
present in the statistics. In this case, you must clear the statistics with the [CL Last] function key before you
can define the nominal weight and the tolerance range.
Statistics are deleted.
1 Tap the [Nominal] function key.
Note

7.2.3 Example log with statistical values
The detail of a protocol depends on the selected protocol settings. Only application-specific information is
shown in the example printout.
Important information for the interpretation of recorded results
The x and s values are calculated results that are shown with higher resolution than the individual measured
values. The significance of the last decimal place cannot be assured with a relatively small measurement series
(fewer than 10 or so measured values) with small weight differences.

7.2.4 Formulas used for the calculation of statistical values

Calculation of mean value and standard deviation
Notation
= Individual measured value of a series of measured values i = 1...n
= Mean value and standard deviation of these measured values
The mean value is given by:
1 n (1)
x= ∑ xi
n i =1
The commonly used formula for the calculation of the standard deviation
1 (2)
s=
n −1
(
∑ xi − x )
2

(2) not suitable for numerical calculation, since in measurements where deviations between single values are
very small, the square of the difference (between the single value and mean value) can lead to cancellation. In
addition, when using this formula, each single measured value must be stored before the standard deviation
can be finally determined.
The following formula is mathematically equivalent, but much more stable numerically. It can be derived by
appropriate transformation from (1) and (2):
2
1  n 2 1  n  
s= ∑ xi −  ∑ xi  
n − 1  i =1 n  i =1  
For the calculation of the mean value and standard deviation, only , ∑ and ∑ need to be stored for the use of
xi xi
2
this formula.
Standard deviation
The numerical stability can be further improved by measured value scaling.
With ∆x = x − X whereby X (depending on the application) is either the first measured value of a series of mea
i i 0 0
surements or the nominal value of a series of measurements, the following is obtained:

2
1  n 1 n  
s= ∑ i (∆x )2
−  ∑ i  
∆x 
n − 1  i =1 n  i =1 
Mean value
The mean value is calculated accordingly:
1 n
x = X0 + ∑ ∆xi
n i =1
Relative standard deviation

The relative standard deviation can be calculated using the formula:
s percent
srel = 100
x
Number of digits in the results

The mean and standard deviation are always displayed and printed with one decimal place more than the cor
responding single measured values. To be noted for interpretation of the results is that this additional decimal
place has no significance for small series of measurements (less than about 10 measured values).
This applies similarly to percentages (e.g. relative standard deviation), which always has two decimal places
(e.g. 13.45 percent). The significance of the decimal places depends similarly on the magnitude of the original
values!

8 Formulation Application
Navigation: [ ] > [Formulation]
The Formulation application can be used for weighing in components that are to be combined in a
specific ratio. Databases are available for permanently storing all relevant parameters for formulae
and components. The selected formula is processed automatically in the formulation operation and
the balance weighs in all components step by step. Naturally, it is also possible to "free formulate"
without using formulae from the database. The result can be printed in detail at the end of a formu
lation.
The component and formulation databases are independent of the user profile; there is only one database for all
users.

2 Tap [Formulation].
Some of the specific formulation function keys and information fields are activated by default (factory
defaults).
Both [Result] and [CL Result] function keys are inactive and therefore grayed out as no formulation is

based on the total weight (final weight) of the formulation. For Comp.Weight
formulation, the required final weight must be entered first. The
nominal weights of the individual components are additionally
automatically calculated in percent.
Note
For formulations with nominal percentages based on the total
weight. The balance does not check whether the total percentage
of all components is 100%. If this value is above or below
100%, the calculated percentages or the nominal weights to be
weighed are automatically adjusted during the weighing opera
tion, as illustrated in the following example:
Formulation data: nominal weight of first component: 80%,
nominal weight of second component: 40%, final weight: 100 g.
Automatic calculation of the nominal weights to be weighed:
First component: 80%/120% • 100 g = 66.67 g
Second component: 40%/120% • 100 g = 33.33 g
1. Comp.Weight = for formulation, the nominal weight of the first

component must be entered. This weight corresponds to the per
centage defined in the formulation definition. The nominal
weights of the further components are subsequently calculated
automatically in relation to the first component.
Example of a formulation with two components
75% is defined for the first component. 40% is defined for the
second component. For formulation, a nominal weight of 100 g
is defined for the first component. The balance now calculates for
the second component a nominal weight of 53.33 g (100
g/75% • 40% = 53.33 g).

This section describes the procedure for working with the application Formulation and recording the results.
8.4.1 Initial settings

A printer must be connected to the balance for recording formulations.

The most important information fields for the application must also be activated (e.g. Recipe Name, Comp.
Name, Nominal and Comp. ID for the automatic processing of formulations.
Depending on the type of formulation, further function keys must be activated.
For each formulation, at least the three following functions keys must be activated.

For free formulation without using formulations from the database, the following function keys must also be
activated. The respective values can be entered via these keys.
+Tolerance
-Tolerance
For free formulation, the ID function key must be activated. This allows specific designations to be assigned to
the formulations and components. The activation of this function key can also be useful for automatic formula
tion processing for the assignment of one or two specific IDs to components in addition to those already prede

8.4.3 Automatic formulation processing with "fixed components" (absolute nominal weights)
It is assumed that the relevant formulation has been defined and the required function keys and information
fields are activated.
If the formulation definition requires that each component is weighed in its own container, a request is made
prior to weighing the second component to place the new weighing container on the balance and press the
[ ] key. If the formulation definition requires that all components are weighed in the same container, taring
does not need to repeated. If automatic zeroing is activated, the display is automatically set to zero when the
tare container is removed.

Note
The user is responsible for ensuring that the weights are within the defined tolerances as the balance does not
check this automatically. If an incorrect weight is taken over with the [M+] function key, the formulation result
will also be incorrect.

8.5 Information on changing existing components and formulations

Stored formulation and component definitions can be changed. The following rules apply.
● While a formulation is being processed, neither stored formulations nor components can be changed.
● If a component which is part of a formulation is changed, the error message This component cannot be
changed. It is used by is displayed. However, if components need to be changed, these must first be deac
tivated in all respective formulations. If components are to be included again in respective formulations after
being changed, the components must be explicitly selected from the component database. Activate the
components in the formulation and re-enter the nominal weights and tolerances. Subsequently change the
formulation name and ID. This avoids confusion with previous formulations with the old definition.
● Components can be removed from the database by deleting their name or ID. However, this is only possible
if the component is not part of a formulation.
● Formulations cannot be deleted from the database. Formulations that are no longer required must be deacti
vated. If a formulation is no longer required, it can only be removed from the database by overwriting it with
a new formulation.

9 Piece Counting Application

9.2 Working with the Piece Counting application

Navigation: [ ] > [Piececounting]
This section describes how to work with the Piececounting application. Among other things, you can determine
a tare weight, change the resolution of the weighing result or work with identifiers.
9.2.1 Simple piece counting

Initial settings
To carry out a simple piece counting, you must activate at least the following three function keys:
FixPcs – Activate function keys.
VarPcs
PcsWgt

Also activate the data fields PcsWgt (Reference unit weight) and RefPcs (Reference unit quantity) so that the
defined values will be displayed.
Determining the reference
Place the desired number of reference units on the weighing pan. Using these reference units, the balance mea
sures the average piece weight. This serves as a basis for the piece counting.
If the number of reference units placed on the balance corresponds exactly to the number that is programmed
for the function key [FixPcs], tap it. As soon as the weighing result is stable, the measured average piece
weight is accepted as a reference. The average weight of the reference units (the number of decimal points
depends on the model) and the reference unit quantity appears in the data fields.
If a different number of reference units is placed on the balance, and it does not correspond to the function key
[FixPcs], e.g. 32 pieces, tap the function key [VarPcs] (variable unit quantity). It appears in the input field in
which the number of pieces is typed. After confirming the unit quantity, the balance determines the reference.
The average weight of the reference units and the reference unit quantity appear in the data fields.
If the piece weight is known, this can be entered directly. To do this, tap the function key [PcsWgt]. A data field
appears in which the piece weight is typed in the desired unit. Since the balance does not have to determine a
reference for this method, after confirming the piece weight, the result of the piece counting is displayed imme
diately (number of pieces currently placed on the balance). The entered reference unit weight and the reference
unit quantity "1" (since you have entered the weight of an individual part) appear in the data fields.
Performing the piece counting
The measured single value can be printed out with the [ ] key.
Note
If the weight of the piece on the balance is displayed instead of the unit quantity, tap the [PCS] unit. Tap the
desired weighing unit from the selection window.
1 Load the reference units on the weighing pan.
2 Tap, e.g. [FixPcs].
The measured average piece weight is saved as the reference.
3 Place the pieces to be counted on the balance and tap the [M+] function key.
When the result is stable (the dashes disappear), it is entered in the statistics.
4 Tap [Result].
7 Tap [CL Result] to end the counting series and delete the memory for the next series.

9.2.2 Totalizing and acquiring statistics from piece counts
Initial settings
In order for you to totalize and acquire statistics, you must activate at least the following three function keys:
Result
CL Result
We also recommend activating the following two function keys. They allow you to delete incorrect values [CL
Last] and to define the number of piece counts to be included in a series [Max n].
For optimal use of the statistics functions, a printer should be connected to the balance. If a printer is not con
nected, the four most important statistics information fields for your application should be activated (e.g. n, x,
Min and Max).
Procedure
If the number of piece counts for a series is specified, press the [Max n] function key and enter the number of
counts (1 to 999). The series is terminated automatically after the last count has been completed. The result
window is opened and the result protocol is printed. This function key is only active when no value is present in
the statistics. If you enter 0 (zero) for [Max n], the series does not have a defined limit and you can statistically
record a maximum of 999 piece counts.
the balance.
Alternatively you can use the tare memory or the automatic taring function. These functions are described in the
instructions for the Weighing application.
Determine the reference with the desired method. Fixed reference unit quantity, variable reference unit quantity or
entry of a known piece weight.
2 Tap, e.g. [VarPcs].
3 Enter the number of reference units and confirm with [OK].
4 Place the pieces to be counted on the balance and tap the [M+] function key.
When the result is stable (the dashes disappear), it is entered in the statistics.
5 Remove the pieces from the first count.
6 Place the pieces for the second count on the balance and tap the [M+] function key.
7 Tap [Result].

Note
An error message is displayed if you tap the [M+] function key but no weight change has occurred. This pre
vents you from accidentally acquiring the same result twice.
If the automatic weight entry function is activated, the [M+] key does not need to be pressed for the result to be
acquired. The value is automatically entered in the statistics.
If you have mistakenly saved an incorrect piece count result, you can use the [CL Last] function key to delete it.
It is only available if values are already present in the memory; otherwise the key is grayed out and cannot be
actuated. The key is deactivated after a result is deleted and is not activated again until the next result has been
entered in the statistics.
9.2.3 Counting to a nominal value

The Piececounting application provides additional functions that simplify counting to a defined nominal value.
You can use these functions for individual counts or for series counts with statistics. It is assumed that the refer
ence for the piece count has already been determined.
Initial settings
To enter the nominal value and the associated tolerance range, activate the function keys listed below. Also
activate the data fields with the same names so that the defined values will be displayed.
+Tolerance
-Tolerance
We also recommend activating the Abs/Diff function key. This allows the results display to be switched at any
time, between the amount already weighed and the remaining amount still to be weighed until the nominal val
ue is reached.
Abs/Diff – Function key activation.
Procedure
Note
The function keys for entering the nominal value and the tolerance range are deactivated if values are already
present in the statistics. In this case, you must clear the statistics with the [CL Last] function key before you
can define the nominal value and the tolerance range.
The [PCS] unit is only available if a reference unit weight has already been determined.

A selection of available units, including [PCS] (pieces) can be displayed by tapping the weighing unit.
Note

any unit, e.g. [PCS].
Note
Piece counts outside the tolerance range are specifically marked with >T+ or <T- when single values are
recorded.
is displayed.
9.2.4 Reference optimization

Reference optimization leads to more precise results for piece counting. With each reference optimization, the
average piece weight (reference) is recalculated. Since the newly placed parts enlarge the basis for the calcula
tion, the reference and the result of the piece count will be more precise.
Determine the reference with the desired method (fixed or variable reference unit quantity). Reference optimiza
tion can be carried out any number of times. The reference and the counting result will be more precise after
each optimization.
Note
Reference optimization is only possible if:
● The number of placed parts is greater than the reference unit quantity.
● The number of placed parts is not greater than twice the last saved reference unit quantity.
● Fixed reference unit quantity or variable reference unit quantity are used as a method for determining the
reference. Reference optimization is not possible when entering a known reference unit weight (function key
[PcsWgt]).
In the case of a series of piece counts, reference optimization is only possible before the result of the first count
is saved with the [M+] function key. The [RefOpt] function key is then grayed out and can no longer be
pressed, since changing the calculation basis (Reference unit weight) is not permitted during an ongoing
series.
To use reference optimization, activate the following function key.
RefOpt – Activate function key.

2 Tap, e.g. [FixPcs].
The measured average piece weight is saved as the reference.
3 Place the pieces to be counted on the balance and tap the [RefOpt] function key.
When the weight is stable (dashes disappear), the weighed quantity is used as the new reference quan
tity. The reference unit weight is recalculated on this basis.
After reference optimization, the [RefOpt] function key remains inactive until further pieces are placed on
the balance.
4 Place further pieces on the balance, tap the [RefOpt] function key.
The weighed quantity is used as the new reference quantity.
5 Tap [M+] to enter the result in the statistics.
6 Tap [Result].
9.2.5 Example protocol of a piece count with statistical values

Note
The values for x, s, Min, Max, Diff. and Sum are displayed in the current display unit; this does not necessari
ly have to be PCS (pieces).
Important information for the interpretation of recorded results
The x and s values are calculated results that are shown with higher resolution than the individual measured
values. The significance of the last decimal place cannot be assured with a relatively small measurement series
(fewer than 10 or so measured values) with small weight differences.

11 Density Application
Navigation: [ ] > [Density]
The Density application is used for determining the density of solids and liquids as well as pasty
substances. Each sample can be assigned an identification and the integrated statistics function
can be used for statistical evaluation of measurements. Density determination is carried out based
on Archimedes' principle according to which a body immersed in a fluid undergoes an apparent
loss in weight which is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.
The hanger opening in the balance can be used for density determination. The optional density kit should be
used for determining the density of solids. This includes all necessary accessories and aids for convenient and
precise density determination. The density kit is supplied with separate instructions with a description of instal
lation and use. A sinker is additionally required for determining the density of liquids and is available from a
METTLER TOLEDO representative.
Alternatively, the Density application can also be used for determining the density of liquids using a pycnome
ter. Pycnometers are available from companies specializing in lab supplies.
A gamma sphere is required for determining the density of pasty substances. The names of suppliers can be
obtained from an authorized representative.
Note
Refer to the separate instructions supplied with the accessories. These contain useful information for working
with these aids and their maintenance and use.

12 Differential Weighing Application
Navigation: [ ] > [Differential weighing]
For Differential weighing, one or several samples are checked for weight variations. The first step
consists of determining the initial weight of the sample (initial weighing). Certain sample compo
nents are subsequently removed or added. Processes, e.g. drying, centrifuging, filtering, incinera
tion, evaporation and coating are also possible options. After processing, the sample is weighed
again (residual weighing). The balance subsequently determines the difference between the two
values.
Important
The specific data for differential weighing (definition and designation of, e.g. series and samples) and the
results are stored in a database.
Up to 99 series can be defined. Each series can consist of several samples (the balance can manage up to
500 samples in total). Each sample can be tared, initially weighed and residually weighed up to 3 times.
An automatic or manual procedure can also be defined for each series. With the automatic procedure, the user
is guided through all steps of differential weighing for all samples (taring, initial weighing, residual weighing).
With the manual procedure, the sample processing sequence can be selected by the user. Irrespective of the
selected procedure, the balance continuously stores the current status for each sample. This prevents processes
from being repeated by mistake. It is not possible to initially weigh the same sample twice for example.

12.3 Working with the differential weighing application

Navigation: [ ] > [Differential weighing]
This section describes the procedure for working with the Differential weighing application and recording the
results.
12.3.1 The various differential weighing methods

There are three different working methods for differential weighing which are supported by the Differential
weighing application. These three working methods are described below.
Method 1 (with taring and initial weighing in a single cycle)
This is the simplest method as the tare weight of the sample container and the initial weight (net weight) of the
sample are determined in a single operation.
For this method, activate the [T & wgh. in] and [Residual wgh] function keys.

Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4
Taring and Treat sample Residual Print results

Sample 2
Sample n
(n = 1..500)
Method 2 (with separate taring and initial weighing)

With this method, the sample container weight (tare weight) and the initial weight (net weight) of the sample
are determined in separate operations. With this method, all weighing containers can initially be tared before all
weighings are performed in a second operation.
For this method, activate the [Tare], [Initial weighing] and [Residual wgh function keys].
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5

Method 3 (free working)

Whereas methods 1 and 2 progress from one sample to the next, method 3 allows free working. Taring, initial
weighing and residual weighing can be performed as single steps for each sample. Not all 3 steps need to be
performed for a specific sample before the next sample is processed. The following diagram is a free working
example:

12.3.3 Differential weighing with automatic procedure

In this description, it is assumed that the automatic procedure has been selected for the series to be processed.
The automatic procedure guides the user through methods 1 or 2. The automatic procedure can be left at any
time and a change to a manual procedure made. A change from a manual to an automatic procedure is also
possible at any time.
Preparatory work
The currently active series is displayed in the Series ID information field. Another series can be processed by
tapping the [Series] function key and selecting the required series. To avoid operating errors, only those func
tion keys are active that are available for the next working step. The other keys are grayed and not accessible.
A standard sample designation can be changed by tapping the Sample ID function key if the change has not
already been made in the definition of the series. The required designation must be entered for each sample of
a series. The selected designations are also shown in the protocols.
The current differential weighing result can be printed with the [ ] key. Depending on the settings, either the
selected sample or complete series is recorded. A selection window is displayed prior to printing. Select the
sample for which values are to be recorded.
Taring and initial weighing of samples
Taring and initial weighing can be carried out in a single operation with the [T & wgh. in] function key. Taring
and initial weighing can be separated by defining a specific [Tare] and [Initial weighing] function key.
The arrow keys can be used to page between the previous and next sample.
Note
Taring or initial weighing can be interrupted at any time; the previously determined weights remained stored.
When the [T & wgh. in] function key is pressed again, the balance automatically displays the first sample for
which no tare or initial weight is available.
The automatic procedure is activated.
1 Tap [T & wgh. in].
The balance displays the first sample of the series for which no tare and initial weight is available.
The balance requests that the weighing container (tare weight) for the first sample is placed on the bal
ance.
3 Place the sample on the balance and confirm with [OK].
The balance determines the weight.
The balance requests initial weighing.
4 Place the sample in the weighing container and confirm with [OK].
The balance requests that the sample is removed.

5 Remove the sample container with the sample and confirm with [OK].
Initial weighing of the first sample of the series is complete.
The balance subsequently automatically starts the above described taring and initial weighing of all fur
ther samples of the series.
The balance displays the next sample of the series for which no tare and initial weight are available.
The balance requests that the weighing container (tare weight) for the sample is placed on the balance.
The balance confirms that taring and initial weighing has been carried out for all samples of the series.
The balance is ready for residual weighing.
Residual weighing of samples

Each sample can be residually weighed up to 3 times (e.g. for samples where components are removed or
added in several working steps). A window is displayed where residual weighing can be selected. Since no
residual weighing has been carried out in the following example, only the first residual weighing is currently
available.
The balance displays the first sample of the series for which no corresponding residual weight is available.
Another sample can be residually weighed by tapping one of the arrow keys. Paging can take place between
the previous and next sample.
A further residual weighing can be carried out by tapping the [Residual wgh] function key. The required residu
al weighing can be selected from the displayed list. A maximum of 3 residual weighings per sample can be
made.
Note
Each residual weighing can be interrupted at any time; the previously determined weights remain stored. The
balance automatically displays the first sample for which no residual weight is available when the [Residual
wgh] function key is subsequently tapped again.
The automatic procedure is activated.
1 Tap [Residual wgh].
2 Tap the [1.Residual wgh] button.
The balance displays the first residual weighing for which no residual weight is available.
The balance requests that the residual weight for the first sample is placed on the balance.
4 Place the residual weight on the balance and confirm with [OK].
The balance determines the residual weight.
5 Remove the sample and confirm with [OK].
Residual weighing of the first sample of the series is complete.

The balance subsequently automatically starts the above described operation for residual weighing of all
further samples of the series.
The balance displays the next sample of the series for which no residual weight is available.
The balance requests that the residual weight for the sample is placed on the balance.
The balance confirms that residual weighing has been carried out for all samples of the series.
Differential weighing is complete.
Displaying differential weighing results

The differential weighing results can be displayed at any time with the [Info] function key. The results for the
first sample are displayed. The results and further samples can be displayed at the bottom right of the window
by tapping one of the arrow keys. If the results of a sample include several windows, selection can be made
between the individual result windows with the scroll keys at the bottom left corner of the window.
Note
If several residual weighings have been carried out, these are displayed as NR 2 or NR 3. The results are also
displayed with the corresponding numbers, e.g. Diff. 1.
Values Explanation
T Reports the tare weight of the sample.
NE Reports the initial weight.
NR 1 Reports the net weight of the first residual weighing.
Diff. 1 Reports the absolute difference in weight between initial weighing and the first resid
ual weighing of the sample.
Diff. % 1 Reports the difference between initial weighing and residual weighing as a percent
Abs. % 1 Reports the residual weight as a percentage of the initial weight.
Atro AM 1 Reports the moisture content of the sample as a percentage of the dry weight.
Atro AD 1 Reports the wet weight of the sample as a percentage of the dry weight.
12.3.4 Differential weighing with manual sequence

Differential weighing with a manual sequence differs from the automatic sequence in that the sample process
ing sequence can be defined by the user.
When differential weighing is started with the [T & wgh. in] function key, a selection window is initially dis
played. Select the sample for taring and weighing.
In contrast to the automatic sequence, the application does not automatically return to the first sample, the val
ue of which is not yet available. The sample to be processed must be selected by the user. The sequence after
taring and initial weighing of the first sample is ended and not automatically restarted. Further samples can
now either be tared and initially weighed or residual weighing carried out for the first sample with the [Residual
wgh] function key. The sample selection window is also displayed for residual weighing.

Note
The sample selection window only displays the samples for which the appropriate operation has not yet been
carried out.
Preparatory work
The currently active series is displayed in the Series ID information field. Another series can be processed by
tapping the [Series] function key and selecting the required series. To avoid operating errors, only those func
tion keys are active that are available for the next working step. The other keys are grayed and not accessible.
A standard sample designation can be changed by tapping the Sample ID function key if the change has not
already been made in the definition of the series. The required designation must be entered for each sample of
a series. The selected designations are also shown in the protocols.
Taring and initial weighing of samples
Taring and initial weighing can be carried out in a single operation with the [T & wgh. in] function key. Taring
and initial weighing can be separated by defining a specific [Tare] and [Initial weighing] function key.
The arrow keys can be used to page between the previous and next sample.
2 Tap the sample to be processed.
The balance requests that the weighing container (tare weight) for the first sample is placed on the bal
ance.
Initial weighing of the first sample of the series is complete.
The balance requests that the weighing container (tare weight) for the sample is placed on the balance.

Taring and initial weighing is complete.

Residual weighing of samples

Each sample can be residually weighed up to 3 times (e.g. for samples where components are removed or
added in several working steps). A window is displayed where residual weighing can be selected. Since no
residual weighing has been carried out in the following example, only the first residual weighing is currently
available.
The balance displays the first sample of the series for which no corresponding residual weight is available.
Another sample can be residually weighed by tapping one of the arrow keys. Paging can take place between
the previous and next sample.
A further residual weighing can be carried out by tapping the [Residual wgh] function key. The required residu
al weighing can be selected from the displayed list. A maximum of 3 residual weighings per sample can be
made.
The balance requests that the residual weight for the first sample is placed on the balance.

12.3.6 Further options

Further options for the Differential weighing application are described in this section.
Clearing a single value
If an error is noticed after determining a weight (tare, initial weighing, residual weighing), the last determined
value can be cleared with the [CL Value] function key. However, this is only possible if no menu has been
selected and the application has not been left. After changing a sample or series, the last determined value can
no longer be cleared.

A confirmation window Are you sure you want to clear this entry? is displayed.
2 To clear the value, tap [Yes].
The value is cleared.

Entry cleared window is displayed.
The value is cleared.
Clearing all values of a sample

If an error is made during differential weighing, all measured values of a single sample can be cleared. To clear
the values of a sample, the [CL sample] function key must be activated.
Attention
All series and samples are stored in a single database available to all users. The series and samples defined
by other users can be cleared. Series and samples must be cleared with due care and other application users
consulted if necessary.
1 Tap the [CL sample] function key.
2 Tap on the sample to be cleared.
A confirmation window Are you sure you want to clear all entries of this sample? is displayed.
3 To clear values, tap [Yes].

Copy tare
The tare weight of the first sample can be copied for all further samples of the series for which no tare weight is
available with the [Copy tare] function key (existing tare weights are retained!). This can save time if the same
tare container is used for all samples.
Note
The function key is inactive as long as no tare weight has been determined for the first sample or if samples of
the series already have a tare weight.
Tare weight for sample is copied.
1 Tap the [Copy tare] function key.
A confirmation window Are you sure you want to copy the first tare weight to all free samples? is
displayed.
2 To copy the tare weight, tap [Yes].

Tare weight is copied.
Differential weighing without tare

For specific applications where no tare containers are used (e.g. filter weighings), the tare can be suppressed
for the complete series. This saves time. To process a series without tare, the [No tare] function key must be
activated.

If tare is suppressed, this applies to all samples of the series for which no tare weight is available. Existing tare
weights are retained. All not yet available tare weights are set to zero. If a tare weight is nonetheless determined
for a specific sample of this series, all measured values of the respective sample must initially be cleared.
1 Tap the [No tare] function key.
A confirmation window Are you sure you do not need a tare for this series? is displayed.
2 Confirm with [Yes].
Tare weight is cleared.
No tare function done window is displayed.

13 Pipette Check Application
Navigation: [ ] > [Pipette Check]
This application requires the use of the optional accessory EasyScan™.
Note
RAININ pipette with embedded RFID chip can automatically use the application.
Terms
Since pipette checks are subject to inaccuracy, Sys. error E and Random Error s can occur time and again.
Sys. error E is a deviation between the nominal and mean value of measured test values.
Random Error sis a measure for the variation of determined volume values, i.e. denotes the relative standard
deviation.
Random errors can be small if measured values are close together, however systematic errors can be large if
the calculated mean value is far from the nominal value. This can also be the reverse. Ideally both measure
ment errors should be as small as possible.
Options
The pipette check application offers various options:
Pipette check
When a configured pipette is held in front of EasyScan™, the application checks the calibration and Quick-
Check dates and displays the result.
Quick-Check
Quality management systems conforming to standards such as ISO 9000, GLP or GMP require regular testing
of volumetric measuring devices. Quick-Check checks the accuracy of pipettes.
Quick-Check allows the accuracy of pipettes of any manufacturer with a Mettler-Toledo RFID tag to be checked.

With this option, pipetting can be practiced or a system test performed. Before attempting to pipette with sensi
tive or expensive liquids, it may be necessary to check whether the required accuracy with a specific pipette can
be achieved on a specific balance. How to perform a system test. The training option can also be used for per
forming such "system tests".
Training can be performed with pipettes of any manufacturer. An RFID tag is not required as it is not supported
by the balance using the training option.
Pipette configuration
Before using the RFID tag for the first time, the configuration data must be entered. It may also be necessary to
adapt data to an already configured pipette (if, e.g. the pipette was calibrated, but the provider had not entered
the next calibration date).
Other functions
The pipette check application offers no pipette calibration functions. If calibration is required after checking, con
tact the pipette manufacturer.
For the Quick-Check and Training options, we recommend the use of a precision thermometer, barometer,
hygrometer and evaporation trap.

13.3 Calculations for Quick-Check

Formulae
For the calculation of volume, Z-factor and measurement uncertainty, formulae according to ISO 8655-6 and
ISO/TR 20461 are used.
Rounding of values
● Values are rounded according to conventional rules (≥ 5 -> rounded).
● Entered values, e.g. water temperature, air pressure, etc., are rounded to one decimal place.
● Conv. factor Z is rounded after calculation to 6 decimal places. This is used for conversion of weight to vol
ume.
● The calculated volume is rounded to the resolution of the balance and shown in the protocol.
• 6-place balance: Microliters with 3 decimal places
• 5-place balance: Microliters with 2 decimal places
• 4-place balance: Microliters with 1 decimal place

14 Titration Application

14.1.2 Specific identifications for titration

Navigation: [ ] > [Titration] > [ ] > Identification
The titration application provides (as with the Weighingapplication) 4 identifications. The available identifica
tions have been adapted to the specific titration requirements.
Identifications can be configured here, i.e. named and activated/deactivated.
ID1 Name Defines a designation (max. 20 characters). Any
This field is prepared for use as a sample identifier (details (ID 1)*
below).
In contrast to the other identifications, identification 1 cannot be
deactivated (identification is essential for interaction with the titra
tor).
ID2 Name Activates/deactivates identification 2. Defines the designation Off | On*
(max. 20 characters). (ID 2)*
ID3 Name Activates/deactivates the correction factor. Defines the designa Off | On*
tion (max. 20 characters). (Corr. f.)*
This numeric field is intended for entry of the correction factor to
be used for titration.
ID4 Name Activates/deactivates the density. Defines the designation (max. Off | On*
20 characters). (Density)*
This numeric field is intended for entry of the density to be used
for titration.
* Factory setting
Identification management
Once the identifications have been configured, they can be assigned a content. The field content can be edited
with the [Edit Data] function key. When this function key is tapped, a window is displayed in which the values
of the activated identifications can be edited (the name allocated in the configuration is displayed as a parame
ter).

The activated identifications are written to the RFID tag together with the determined sample weight, when the
[Write RFID] function key is tapped.
The following rules apply to data entry:
Parameters Values
ID 1 Max. 20 alphanumeric characters
ID 2 Max. 20 alphanumeric characters
Corr. f. Numerical value, 0 … 1000000.0000
(1.0)*
Density Numerical value, 0 … 100.0000
(1.0)*
* Factory setting
To automate the use of ID 1 as a sample ID, the Auto increment ID 1 option can be activated. If this option is
selected, the field content of ID 1 is incremented by 1 after each completed weighing (if the last character is not
numerical, a digit is added).
See Specific RFID option settings (page 203).
The values of Corr. f. and Density are reset to the initial value 1.0 after each completed weighing. This pre
vents a once entered value from being unintentionally used for further samples.
If a larger number of samples are to be provided with the same correction factor and/or density, it is better and
safer to enter this data in the respective titrator method.
Display as information fields
It is recommended to display (activated) identifications as information fields.

17.2 Explanatory notes for the METTLER TOLEDO AC adapter

The certified external power supply which conforms to the requirements for Class II double insulated equipment
is not provided with a protective earth connection but with a functional earth connection for EMC purposes. This
earth connection IS NOT a safety feature. Further information about conformance of our products can be found
in the brochure "Declaration of Conformity" which is coming with each product.
In case of testing with regard to the European Directive 2001/95/EC the power supply and the balance have to
be handled as Class II double insulated equipment.
Consequently an earth bonding test is not required. Similarly it is not necessary to carry out an earth bonding
test between the supply earth conductor and any exposed metalwork on the balance.
Because the balance are sensitive to static charges a leakage resistor, typically 10 kΩ, is connected between
the earth connector and the power supply output terminals. The arrangement is shown in the equivalent circuit
diagram. This resistor is not part of the electrical safety arrangement and does not require testing at regular
intervals.

acquisition system.
To enable you to integrate balances in your system in a simple manner and utilize their capabilities to the full,
most balance functions are also available as appropriate commands via the data interface.
All new METTLER TOLEDO balances launched on the market support the standardized command set "METTLER
TOLEDO Standard Interface Command Set" (MT-SICS). The commands available depending on the functionality
of the balance.
For further information please refer to the Reference Manual MT-SICS downloadable from the Internet under
u www.mt.com/xse-analytical
19.2 Procedure for certified balances

Preface
Certified balances are subject to the national, legal requirements of "non-automatic balances".
Switching on the balance
● Switching on
• Immediately after being switched on, the balance displays 0.000.. g.
• The balance is always started up with the "Factory setting" unit.
● Switch-on range
• At maximum 20% of the type load, otherwise overload is displayed (OIML R76 4.5.1).
● Stored value as switch-on zero point

• It is not permissible to use a stored value as a switch-on zero point; the MT-SICS M35 command is not
available (OIML R76 T.5.2).
Display
● Display of the weight value
• The "e" certification value is always shown in the display and is specified at the model designation plate
(OIML R76 T.3.2.3 and 7.1.4).
• If the display increment is lower than the "e" certification value, this is variably displayed for the net, gross
and weighed tare. (Graying of the digits or certification brackets) (OIML R76 T.2.5.4 and 3.4.1).
● In accordance with guidelines, the tested display increment (certification value) is never lower than 1 mg
(OIML R76 T.3.4.2).
● At balances with d = 0.1 mg, the digits below 1 mg are displayed in gray. These digits in brackets are
printed. In accordance with legal metrology requirements, this illustration does not affect the accuracy of the
weighing results.
● Units of measurement
• The display and info unit are firmly set to g or mg (depending on the model).
• The following applies for the "Custom unit":
– No certification brackets.
– The following names are blocked, this applies to upper and lower case letters.
– All official units (g, kg, ct etc.).
– c, ca, car, cm, crt, cart, kt, gr, gra, gram, grm, k, kilo, to, ton.
– All names with "o" which can be replaced by a zero (0z, 0zt etc.).
Appendix 233
● Identification of the weight display
• Gross, net, tare and other weight values are accordingly marked (OIML R76 4.6.5).
– Net for net when a tare value has been used.
– B or G for gross.
– T for the weighed tare.
– PT for the specified tare.
– * or diff for the difference between the net or gross.
● Info field
• The info weight value is handled metrologically in the same way as the weight value in the main display.
Printout (OIML R76 4.6.11)

● If a tare value is entered manually (PreTare), the PreTare value is always printed along with the net value
(PT 123.45 g).
● The printed weight values are identified in the same way as the weight value on the display.
I.e. N, B or G, T, PT, diff or *, with differentiation.
Example:
Single-range balance.
N 123.4[5] g
PT 10.00 g ➔ for PreTare
G 133.4[5] g
DR balance with 100.00 g fine range.
N 80.4[0] g
T 22.5[6] g ➔ for weighed tare
G 102.9[ ] g
Balance functions
● Reset to zero
• The zero range is limited to a maximum of ± 2% of the full load (OIML R76 4.5.1).
● Tare
• No negative tare values are permitted.
• Tare immediate (TI) is not permitted, the MT-SICS TI command is not available (OIML R76 4.6.4).
● 1/xd
• e=d
The 1/xd switchover is not permitted (OIML R76 3.1.2).
• e = 10d
This is only permitted in the case of the 1/10d switchover.
• e = 100d
Only the 1/10d and 1/100d switchover are permitted.

Glossary
Actual value
Weight from the weight certificate of a test weight.
Actual weight
The actual recorded weight of an external test weight. Irrespective of balance model.
Adjustment
Adjusts the balance sensitivity. For this purpose, at least one reference weight is placed on the weighing pan
either manually or motorized. This is weighed and the indicated weight is stored. The sensitivity of the balance
is subsequently corrected by the required amount.
Adjustment weight
External test weight for adjustment.
Calibration
Verification of the test weight with the issuance of a certificate.
Control limit
Tolerance of a process with respect to its set value. Exceeding the tolerance is a violation of quality require
ments and therefore requires a correction of the process.
Eccentric load deviation

carry out the test sequence. Before a task can be defined, the test sequence must already be defined.
Test
Collective term for testing a single function or an entire device.
Test history
Record of test results saved in a special fail-safe memory. The options in the test history allow the selection of
results for documentation or printing.
Test sequence
Describes the type of test (method) and the weight with which this test must be carried out. It also defines the
