1 Introduction
Thank you for choosing a METTLER TOLEDO balance. The balance combines high performance with ease of
use.
This document is based on the software version V 2.0.301.
Disclaimer for comparators
In this document, the term "balance" is used to describe both balances and comparators.
Comparators are characterized by their higher resolution compared to balances and are mainly used for differ-
ential weighing application, such as the calibration of standard weights. Beside standard balance tests,
comparators have also been tested with differential repeatability (ABA repeatability) during production.

5.2 Methods
A weighing method is an application for carrying out specific weighing tasks. The balance offers the method
"General Weighing" with default parameters. You have the possibility to create a maximum of 50 methods and
edit the methods. You can use these methods for your weighing task or edit them according to your
requirements. Methods can also be deleted or cloned.
To support you while configuring new methods, a configuration wizard leads you through the whole process.
The changes performed to a method are recorded in the change history (if activated).
5.2.1 Methods overview

The section Methods list provides an overview of all methods already created on the balance. In this section,
new methods can be defined and existing methods can be edited, cloned or deleted. It is also the starting point
for using any method in a weighing procedure.
Navigation: Methods > Methods list
The following methods are available:
• General weighing (see [Method "General weighing" } Page 39])
• Interval weighing (see [Method "Interval weighing" } Page 43])
• Piece Counting (see [Method "Piece counting" } Page 51])
• Simple formulation (see [Method "Simple formulation" } Page 41])
• Titration (see [Method "Titration" } Page 44])
• Density determination (see [Method "Density determination" } Page 45])
5.2.2 Method "General weighing"

The method General weighing offers the basic weighing functions (zeroing, taring, weighing). The method is
used for simple weighing tasks or to perform a series of check weighing or dosing.
The parameters of the weighing item, e.g., sample ID and target weight, can either be entered manually or by
using a template. Therefore two different methods exist:
• General weighing: Select this method if you want to work without pre-defined templates.
• General weighing with templates: Select this method if you want to use a template to define the
parameters individually for each single weighing item. Templates are particularly useful when the weighing
task consists of a series of weighings, each with its own individual parameters, such as target weight,
tolerances, etc. For further information, see [Using method templates } Page 54].

ically.
5.2.3 Method "Simple formulation"

With the method Simple formulation the concentration of a substance can automatically be calculated.
The parameters of the weighing item, e.g., sample ID and target weight, can either be entered manually or by
using a template. Therefore two different methods exist:
• Simple formulation: Select this method if you want to weigh a single component in a volumetric flask and
have the concentration calculated automatically.
• Simple formulation with templates: Select this method if you want to follow a predefined solution recipe of
one or several components. Templates are particularly useful when the weighing task consists of a series of
weighings, each with its own individual parameters, such as target weight, tolerances, etc. For further infor-
mation, see [Using method templates } Page 54].

5.2.6 Method "Density determination"

The method Density determination is used for determining the density of solids and liquids. Density determi-
nation is carried out based on Archimedes' principle according to which a body immersed in a fluid
undergoes an apparent loss in weight that is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. Furthermore the
density method also supports the pycnometer method, which does not rely on Archimedes' principle. The
method Density determination includes three method types:
Solid: determines the density of a solid with the help of a density kit

Liquid (sinker): determines the density of a liquid with the help of a density kit and a sinker
Liquid (pycnometer): determines the density of a liquid in a glass vessel, e.g. pycnometer

5.2.13 Using method templates

Working with templates can simplify the workflow, especially when several weighings with different predefined
target weights have to be carried out one after the other. Characteristic information such as a target weight and
tolerances can be defined in a template and must not be defined for every single weighing task. This may save
time, especially when the weighing process consists of multiple steps.
The methods General weighing with templates and Simple formulation with templates use templates.
Before a template can be used in the weighing process, it must be defined. There are two ways to define
templates:
• The templates can be defined directly in the method creating process.
• The templates can be defined during the execution of a task within a method of the same type, without
templates.
5.2.13.1 Defining a template during the method-defining process

This example describes how to define a template for the method General weighing with templates.

5.3 Test weights
5.3.1 Defining an individual test weight

The user should enter data related to each test weight based on the corresponding certificate. This enables each
external test weight to be clearly assigned to a specific certificate. Up to 12 external test weights can be
configured. These test weights can be used to carry out external tests and adjustments.
Navigation: Methods > Tests > Test weights
Note
An external test weight for an external adjustment has to weigh at least 10% of the balance capacity. External
test weights under 10% of the balance capacity are not displayed on the balance.
§ The dialog Test weights is open.
1 Tap Test weight.
2 Define the test weight settings and confirm with Finish.
ð The test weight is defined and will be available later in the test procedure.
5.3.2 Defining a combined test weight

The user can combine test weights to achieve a test weight capacity that is not available as a single standard
weight. For example, a weight of 10 g and a weight of 20 g can be combined and used as a test weight of
30 g. Each combined test weight can include two or three test weights. The class of a specific combined weight
can only be as good as the worst class of the individual test weights it contains. As for any other test weight,
combined test weight can be used to carry out external tests and adjustments.
Navigation: Methods > Tests > Test weights
§ The dialog Test weights is open.
§ At least two individual test weights are defined.
1 Tap Combined weight.
2 Enter a Test weight name.
3 Select the Minimal weight class for the combined weight.

5.4 Tests
Routine tests can be performed to ensure accurate weighing results according to GWP® or other QM systems.
Therefore the tests should be performed in fixed, regular intervals depending on your QM system and the results
should be documented in a traceable way.
Navigation: Methods > Tests
5.4.1 Overview routine tests

METTLER TOLEDO can help you to define the routine tests to be performed based on your process requirements.
Please contact your local METTLER TOLEDO representative for additional information.
5.4.1.1 Eccentricity test

The purpose of the eccentricity test is to check if every eccentric
load deviation (corner load deviation) is within the user SOP
tolerances. The corner load is the deviation of the measurement
value through off-center (eccentric) loading. The corner load
3
increases with the weight of the load and its distance from the
center of the weighing pan support. If the display remains
2 1 4
consistent, even when the same load is placed on different parts
of the weighing pan, the balance does not have corner load
5
deviation.
The result corresponds to the highest of the four determined
eccentric load deviations (2 to 5).
5.4.1.2 Repeatability test

The repeatability test calculates the standard deviation of a series of measurements with a single test weight in
order to determine the repeatability of the balance.
Repeatability is a measure of the ability of a balance to supply the same result in repetitive weighings with one
and the same load under the same measurement conditions. During the test, the same load is placed and
measured in different parts of the weighing pan. Afterwards, the difference between the measured weight values
is calculated. The spread of the measured results leads to the repeatability.
Repeatability is highly affected by the ambient conditions (drafts, temperature fluctuations and vibrations) and
also by the skill of the person performing the weighing. Therefore, the series of measurements must be carried
out by the same operator, in the same location, under constant ambient conditions and without interruption.
The following test types are available:
• Repeatab. - 1 TP: To test repeatability of the balance without tare weight.
• Repeatab. - Tare - 1 TP: To test repeatability of the balance with tare weight. The first test weight (tare
weight) is used to simulate a tare container.
5.4.1.3 Sensitivity test

The sensitivity of the balance defines the deviation between the balance reading and the actual load. The sensi-
tivity test allows you to measure the sensitivity using one or two test points.
The following test types are available:
• Sensitivity - 1 TP: To test sensitivity of the balance with one test weight.
• Sensitivity - 2 TP: To test sensitivity of the balance with two test weights.
• Sensitivity - Tare - 1 TP: To test sensitivity of the balance with two test weights. The first test weight (tare
• Sensitivity - Tare - 2 TP: To test sensitivity of the balance with three test weights. The first test weight (tare

6.1.2.3 Alibi memory

The alibi memory is a tamper-proof data storage device on which weighing data subject to legal control is
automatically stored and accessible for a period of time. An alibi memory device operates according to the
principle of a "ring" memory: when the capacity limit of the data records and the retention period are reached,
the oldest data record in the memory is automatically overwritten by the new data record.
As soon as a result is generated by the balance, it will be stored in the alibi memory of the balance, if the
feature is activated. Access to the alibi memory on the balance is provided in stand-alone mode only.
The combination of Alibi record ID and Bridge serial number ensures the uniqueness of an alibi memory
entry. The balance also defines a retention period describing the minimum amount of time during which the
results must be stored in the alibi memory. As soon as the retention period for specific alibi entries is exceeded,
the balance can reuse these memory slots for new entries.
The alibi memory is only available for specific balance models and needs to be activated by a service
technician. Contact your METTLER TOLEDO representative for more details.
When the alibi memory is activated, an alibi record is generated for each result added to the Protocol. Each
alibi record contains the following information:
• Bridge serial number
• Alibi record ID
• Date/time
• Net weight
• Tare weight
• Tare weight status
• Verification
Note
When the Capture mode is set to Immediate, alibi records are only created for stable results.
Navigation: Balance menu > History > Alibi memory
A maximum of 500'000 entries can be stored in the alibi memory. When the maximum number of entries is
reached and no entries are older than the retention period, no new result can be added to the Protocol. This
can be fixed in service mode, where alibi records can be deleted or the retention period can be shortened.
Filter Tap to Filter the alibi memory by a defined date range or by a record ID
range.

GWP Approved Good Weighing Practice (GWP®) is a program started by Active | Inactive*
mode METTLER TOLEDO to help customers operate their weighing
equipment in a safe and efficient way. It covers every relevant
step in the life cycle of the instrument and provides clear guidance
on how to specify, calibrate and operate weighing instruments.
The GWP Approved mode observes if the following conditions are
given:
• Use of an appropriate tolerance profile.
• The internal adjustment was successful.
• Required tests were successful.
• Setting up of enforced leveling.
• No MinWeigh violation.
If all conditions are given, the balance adds the GWP Approved
sign behind every weighing result.
The GWP Approved mode can only be enabled by a METTLER
TOLEDO service technician.

9.2 Explanatory notes for the METTLER TOLEDO AC/DC adapter
The certified external AC/DC adapter complies to the requirements for Class II double insulated equipment. It 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 the compliance of our products can be found
in the "Declaration of Conformity" delivered with every product.
In case of testing with regard to the European Directive 2001/95/EC, the AC/DC adapter and the instrument
have to be handled as Class II double insulated equipment.
Consequently, a grounding test is not required. It is Plastic housing
