4.4 Connecting instrument
WARNING
Risk of electric shock
a) To connect the balance, only use the supplied three-core power cable with
equipment grounding conductor.
b) Only connect the balance to a three-pin power socket with earthing con­
tact.
c) Only standardized extension cable with equipment grounding conductor
must be used for operation of the balance.
d) Intentional disconnection of the equipment grounding conductor is forbid­
den.

Your balance is supplied with an country-specific AC/DC adapter or with a country-specific power
cable. The power supply is suitable for all line voltages in the range: 100 - 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. For
detailed specifications, see Technical Data.
Attention:
Allow your balance to warm up for 30 minutes (0.1 mg models 60 minutes) to enable it to adapt
itself to the ambient conditions.

Connect the AC/DC adapter to the connection socket on the back of your
balance (see figure) and to the power line.

Attention
● Check if your local power supply falls within this range. If this is not the case, under no circum­
stances connect the AC/DC adapter to the power supply, but contact a METTLER TOLEDO repre­
sentative.
● The power plug must be accessible at all times.
● Prior to use, check the power cable for damage.
● Route the cable in such a way that it cannot be damaged or cause a hindrance when working.
● Ensure that no liquid comes into contact with the AC/DC adapter.

Installation and Putting into Operation 19

 4.5 Leveling the balance
Exact horizontal positioning and stable installation are prerequisites for repeatable and accurate
results.

Note
To compensate for small irregularities or inclinations (±2 %) at the location, the instrument must be
leveled and adjusted each time it is moved to a new location.
The balance can be levelled with the leveling assistant and/or with the level indicator on top of termi­
nal. There are two adjustable leveling feet to compensate for slight irregularities in the surface of the
wieghing bench.

4.5.1 Levelling the balance with the level indicator

Every balance has a level indicator with an air bubble to level the balance manually.

Leveling balances with readability of 0.1 mg and 1 mg

– Adjust the two leveling feet appropriately until the air
bubble comes to rest exactly in the middle of the glass:
Air bubble at "12 o'clock" turn both feet clockwise.
Air bubble at "3 o'clock" turn left foot clockwise, right
foot counterclockwise.
Air bubble at "6 o'clock" turn both feet counterclock­
wise.
Air bubble at "9 o'clock" turn left foot counterclock­
wise, right foot clockwise.

4.8 General requirements

4.8.1 Warming up the balance

Before working with the balance, it must be warmed up in order to obtain accurate weighing results.
To reach operating temperature, the balance must be connected to the power supply for at least:
● 30 minutes on balances with a readability of 1 mg (0.01 ct) to 5 g.
● 60 minutes on balances with a readability of 0.1 mg (0.001 ct) and better.

4.8.2 Adjusting the balance

To obtain accurate weighing results, the balance must be adjusted to match the gravitational accelera­
tion at its location and depending on the ambient conditions. After reaching the operation temperature,
adjusting is necessary.
● before the balance is used for the first time.
● when the balance (readability of 0.1 mg) was disconnected from the power or in case of power
failure.
● after a change of the location and after the warming-up phase.
● at regular intervals during weighing service.

Depending on the application, the content of the selectable options can differ. Every application is
based on this concept.

Weighing made simple 25

 5.4 Navigation on the touch screen
To interact with the balance, use the screen and the operating keys at the bottom of the screen. The
navigation on the screen is similar to the navigation of a smart phone or a tablet.

5.4.1 Opening an application

To open settings or applications, tap with your finger on the symbol of the application (e.g. [ ]
Weighing).

5.4.2 Scrolling
When the options are too numerous to be shown on one screen, a blue bar on the right side appears.
That means you can scroll up and down. For scrolling, put your finger somewhere in the list and drag
it up or down.

26 Weighing made simple

5.4.3 Using shortcuts
To simplify the navigation on the capacitive color TFT touch screen, there are a few shortcuts that
allow quick access to the most important areas of the balance. The weighing value field on the appli­
cation home screen for example works as shortcut (see picture below), so does the weighing unit next
to the weighing value field. Depending on the activity, there are other shortcuts, that can be used.

Note
Every setting that can be changed directly via shortcut, can also be changed in the contextual settings
of the current activity.

5.5 Performing a simple Weighing

When you switch on the balance for the first time, the application home screen of Weighing opens
automatically. When the balance was switched on already, the last used application before the bal­
ance was switched off opens. If another activity is running, end this activity and restart Weighing.
Navigation: [ ] > Activities – Weighing and other applications > [ ] Weighing
1 Tap on [ ] to zero the balance or [ ] to tare the balance.
The initial screen looks like follows:

 5.11 Working with IDs
Identifications (IDs) must be defined in the contextual settings of an application. How the ID is used
and which parameters of the ID can be defined differs depending on the application in which the ID is
used.
Navigation: > Open an application (e. g. Weighing) > Open the contextual settings of the applica­
tion > [ ] Identifications
ID

Define an ID
1 Activate the function with the switch in the title bar.
2 Tap on [ID 1]
The input dialog ID 1 opens.
3 Activate the dialog with the switch in the title bar.
The title bar shows ID - Label.
Define ID - Label.

The Identifications window opens showing the defined ID.
7 Tap on [ ] to accept the defined IDs.

Note
The maximal length of an ID is 16 characters.

5.11.1 Autoincrement
Autoincrement specifies some part of the ID that is being incremented with each use of that ID. There
are two basic functions depending on how the ID is defined:
● If there is no counter in the ID, the system automatically adds a counter to the ID starting by -1
(e.g. the ID Process will be Process-1 in the next use).
● If a counter is part of the ID, the system automatically increments the ID starting at that counter
(e.g. the ID Process 1 will be Process 2 in the next use).
Note

32 Weighing made simple

● The counter must be set at the end of the ID, otherwise the system doesn't recognize the number
as a counter (e.g. in 567Apple the system doesn't recognize 567 as a counter).
● If the ID has no counter and a maximal length of 16 characters, the last few characters will be
overwritten by the counter.

Weighing made simple 33

Performing Check Weighing
After defining the target weight and the tolerance limits, Check Weighing can be performed. The
weighing-in aid at the top bar visualizes, if the weight sample is within the defined tolerances.
In this example, the defined target weight is 100.000 g, the tolerance limit is ±2.5 %. The sample
weight is 97.0000 g.
– Put the target weight on the weighing pan.
The weight is stable and the unstability detector symbol disappears.
The value is out of tolerance, the weighing-in aid bar and the weighing value field are red.

In this example, the defined target weight is still 100.000 g and the tolerance limit is ±2.5 %. The
sample weight is 99.0000 g.
– Place the sample weight on the weighing pan.
The weight is stable and the unstability detector symbol disappears.
