1.3 Putting into operation

1.3.1 Selecting or changing the location

The correct location is crucial to the accuracy of the weighing results!

➜ Select a stable, vibration-free and if possible a horizontal location.

The ground must be able to safely bear the weight of the fully loaded scale.
Observe the following environmental conditions:
• No direct sunlight
• No strong drafts
• No excessive temperature fluctuations

Aligning the scale

Only scales that have been aligned precisely horizontally provide accurate weighing
results. The certified scales have a spirit level to simplify alignment.
➜ Turn the adjustable feet of the scale until the spirit level’s air bubble is inside the
inner circle.

Major geographical The manufacturer adjusts each scale to the local gravity conditions (GEO value). In
location changes the event of major geographical location changes, this setting must be adjusted by a
service technician. Certified scales must also be recertified observing the national cer-
tification regulations. These steps are not necessary for scales with an internal cali-
bration weight.

1.3.2 Connecting the power supply

CAUTION!
Before connecting the scale to the mains, check whether the voltage value printed on
the rating plate corresponds with the local mains voltage.
▲ Never connect the device if the voltage value printed on the rating plate is different
to the local mains voltage.
➜ Plug the mains plug into the socket.
After connection, the device performs a self-test. When the zero display appears,
the device is ready to weigh.
➜ Calibrate the device in order to obtain the greatest possible precision, see
Section 3.3.1.

User manual 22011381B 05/08 9

Introduction BBA422 / BBA425 / BBK422

Note Partially certified scales (scales with first-level certification) must be certified by an
authorized body or by the METTLER TOLEDO Service.
➜ Call METTLER TOLEDO Service.
Scales with a built-in battery can work independently from the mains for approxi-
mately 30 hours in normal operation. A prerequisite for this is that the background
lighting is switched off and that no peripheral devices are connected.
The device automatically switches to battery operation as soon as the mains supply
is interrupted. When the mains supply is restored, the device automatically switches
back to mains operation.
The battery symbol indicates the present charging level of the battery. 1 segment cor-
responds to approx. 25 % capacity. When the symbol flashes the battery must be
charged (min. 4 hours). The charging period is extended if work is continued during
charging. The battery is protected against overcharging.
The charging time of the storage battery amounts to approx. 6 hours. If the device
continues to be operated during the charging process, the charging time is extended.
The storage battery has a service life of approx. 1,000 charging/discharging cycles.

Note The storage battery is also suitable for permanent mains operation.
➜ In order to obtain the full nominal capacity we recommend that you discharge the
storage battery at regular intervals (approx. every 4 weeks) through normal
operation.

4 Interface description

4.1 SICS interface commands

The compact scales BBA422 / BBA425 / BBK422 support the command set MT-SICS
(METTLER TOLEDO Standard Interface Command Set). With SICS commands, it is
possible to configure, query and operate the scales from a PC. SICS commands are
divided up into various levels.

4.1.1 Available SICS commands

Command Meaning
LEVEL 0 @ Reset the scale
I0 Inquiry of all available SICS commands
I1 Inquiry of SICS level and SICS versions
I2 Inquiry of scale data
I3 Inquiry of scale software version
I4 Inquiry of serial number
I6 Inquiry of weighing parameters
S Send stable weight value
SI Send weight value immediately
SIR Send weight value repeatedly
Z Zero the scale
ZI Zero immediately
LEVEL 1 D Write text into display
DW Weight display
K Keyboard check
SR Send and repeat stable weight value
T Tare
TA Tare value
TAC Clear tare
TI Tare immediately

In the case of Levels 0 and 1, these are commands which, if implemented, will
function identically with all METTLER TOLEDO scales or weighing terminals.
In addition there are also further interface commands which apply either to the entire
product series or to the particular application level. This and further information on the
MT-SICS command set may be found in the MT-SICS Manual (Order Number 22 011
459 or at www.mt.com) or be obtained by request from your METTLER TOLEDO
customer service representative.

4.1.2 Requirements for communication between scale and PC

• The scale must be connected to the RS232, RS485, USB or Ethernet interface of a
PC with a suitable cable.
• The interface of the scale must be set to "Dialog" mode, see Section 3.6.1.
• A terminal progam must be available on the PC, e.g. HyperTerminal.
• The communication parameters baud rate and parity must be set in the terminal
program and on the scale to the same values, see Section 3.6.3.

4.1.3 Notes on network operation via the optional interface RS422/485

Up to 32 scales can be networked with the optional RS422/485 interface. In network
operation, the scales must be addressed from the computer before commands can be
sent and weighing results received.

7.1 Information for certified scales in EC countries

Weighing instruments verified at the place of manufacture bear the preceding mark on
M the packing label and green "M" sticker on the descriptive plate. They may be set to
work immediately.

Weighing instruments which are verified in two steps have no green "M" on the
M descriptive plate and bear the preceding identifaction mark on the packing label. The
second step of the verification must be carried out by the approved METTLER TOLEDO
Service or by the W&M authorities. Please contact METTLER TOLEDO Customer Serv-
ice.
The first calibration step of the verification has been carried out at the manufacturing
plant. It comprises all tests according to EN45501-8.2.2. Scales with analog connec-
tion to the weighing platform require an additional test according to EN45501-
3.5.3.3. However, this test is not mandatory if the terminal bears the same serial
number as the weighing platform.
If national regulations in individual countries limit the period of validity of the certifica-
tion, the operator of such a scale is himself responsible for its timely re-certification.

7.2 Safety checks

The compact scales of the series BBA422 / BBA425 / BBK422 have been checked by
accredited testing institutions. They have passed the safety checks listed below and
carry the relevant test symbols. Production is subject to production monitoring by the
inspection offices.
