– Shield disk; turn counter-clockwise until it stops and is secured
– Pan support
– Weighing pan
– Glass draft shield cylinder
– Draft shield cover

– Pan draft shield (depending on the model)
– Weighing pan
Preparing Balances with a Rectangular Weighing Pan

and a Weighing Capacity ≥16 kg
● Place the weighing pan on the balance

Getting Started
Separate Operation of the Display Unit

● Turn the balance upside down and lay it on a padded surface
to avoid damage to the weighing system.
● Use a screwdriver to remove the 2 screws from the display unit retainer
● Remove the display unit
> Cable lengths
– LP balances with a weighing capacity ≤ 12 kg: 55 cm
– LP balances with a weighing capacity ≥ 16 kg: 80 cm
k See the chapter entitled “Accessories” for information on longer cables
k If you wish to use a longer cable, it must be installed by an authorized
Sartorius service technician
Options for Mounting the Display Unit for a Balance with

a Weighing Capacity ≥ 16 kg
The display unit can be mounted as follows:
– on the short side of the weighing cell (factory mounting)
– on the back (long side) of the of the weighing cell
● Turn the weighing cell over
● Remove the fastening screws from the display unit retainer
● Remove the fastening screws from the plate that covers the cable raceway
(channel) and remove the plate
● Fasten the display unit retainer onto the back of the weighing
cell with the 2 Allen screws
● Thread the cable through the raceway and replace the cover plate

Connecting the Balance to AC Power
● Check the voltage rating and the plug design
– If they do not match the rating or standard you use,
contact your Sartorius office or dealer
Use only
– Original Sartorius AC adapters
– AC adapters with a registered approval rating from
a national testing laboratory
k To use a main feeder cable from the ceiling or to mount a CEE plug,
you will have to make arrangements inside your facilities to have this
equipment installed
k See the “Accessories” for information on using an IP65-protected
industrial AC adapter or an external rechargeable battery pack with
your balance
● Insert the right-angle plug into the jack and tighten the screws
● Then plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet (mains)
Safety Precautions
The AC adapter rated to Class 2 can be plugged into any wall outlet
without requiring any additional safety precautions. The ground or
earth terminal is connected to the balance housing, which can be additionally
grounded, if required. The data interface is also electrically connected
to the balance housing (ground).
Information on Radio Frequency Interference
Warning!
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
interference to radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class A computing device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15
of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against
such interference, when operated in a commercial environment. Operation of
this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference, in which
case the user, at his own expense, will be required to take whatever measures
may be required to correct the interference.
Connecting Electronic Peripheral Devices

● Make absolutely sure to unplug the balance from AC power
before you connect or disconnect a peripheral device (printer or PC)
to or from the interface port.
Warmup Time
To deliver exact results, the balance must warm up for at least 30 minutes
after initial connection to AC power or after a relatively long power outage.
Only after this time will the balance have reached the required operating
temperature.
Using Verified Balances as Legal Measuring Instruments in the EU*
The balance must warm up for at least 24 hours after initial connection
to AC power.

Getting Started
Fastening an Antitheft Locking Device:

Balances with a Weighing Capacity of 12 kg
To fasten an antitheft locking device, use the lug located
on the rear panel of the balance.
● Secure the balance at the place of installation, e.g.,
with a chain or a lock.
Leveling the Balance

Purpose:
– To compensate for unevenness at the place of installation
– To achieve perfectly horizontal positioning of the balance
for consistent reproducibility
Always level the balance again any time after it has been moved.
Leveling Balances with a Weighing Capacity ≤12 kg
Only the 2 front feet are used for leveling.
● Retract the 2 rear feet
● Turn the 2 front feet as shown in the diagram until the air bubble
is centered within the circle of the level indicator
> Several leveling steps are usually required.
● For weighing heavy samples:
Extend the 2 rear feet until they touch the surface on which the
balance rests
Leveling Balances with a Weighing Capacity ≥16 kg

● Adjust the four leveling feet until the air bubble is centered
within the circle of the level indicator

Data Output Functions
There are 3 options for data output:
– Output to the display/control unit
– Output to a printer (generate a printout)
– Output to a peripheral device (e.g., computer) via the interface port
Output to the Display and Control Unit

The display is divided into 6 sections:
– Line for metrological data
– Bar graph
– Measured value line
– Weight unit display
– Symbol display
– Text line
Line for Metrological Data (when used as a legal measuring instrument)

This line shows:
Max 4200 g – Maximum balance capacity (e.g., 4,200 g)
Min 0.5 g – Minimum balance capacity; the weight must not go below this limit when
the balance is used in legal metrology
e= 0.1 g – Verification scale interval of the balance; irrelevant if the balance
is not used in legal metrology (e.g., 0.1 g)
d= 0.01 g – Readability: Indicates the actual scale interval
(display increment of the balance) (e.g., 0.01 g)
Bar Graph
In the bar graph, weighing results are displayed either
– as a percentage of the maximum
balance capacity, or
– in relation to a target value,
with tolerance limits indicated.
Measured Value Line

This line displays:
1234.56 – The current weight readout
(digits bordered with a broken line are invalid in use for legal metrology)
01-30-13 – Information on the balance and display and control unit
(e.g., version numbers)
-96-Abc1 – Data entered by the user (e.g., lot number)
56

Weight Unit Display

This line shows:
kg – Current weight unit (e.g., kg)
pcs – Designation of other units of measure (e.g., piece count)
NET P – Operating status (e.g., net weight; printing)
o – Identification of currently selected menu item
Symbol Display
This line shows:
isoCAL – Indicators and warnings (e.g., isoCAL)
LZVOR – Symbol of application program selected
Text Line
This line contains:
reprotest – Explanatory text for value displayed in measured value line
info menu input – Designation of current function of the soft keys (below the arrows)
n n n – Arrows indicating the soft keys designated above
Display of “Longer” Values

You can enter values up to 20 characters in length
(e.g., identification numbers). These are displayed in the measured value
line; this line, however, can only show up to 8 characters at a time.
When a 20-character value is displayed, for example, the last 8 characters
(13 through 20) are displayed first (in this example, the ID number is:
“Shelf 5, carton 4020”).
The text line displays the name of the value (“ID”) and an arrow indicating

Activating Data Output

You can define the data output
parameter so that output is activated
either when a print command
is received or automatically and
synchronous with the balance
display or at defined intervals
(see application program
descriptions and auto print settings).
Data Output by Print Command

The print command can be
transmitted by pressing p or by
a software command (Esc P).
Automatic Data Output

In the “auto print” operating mode,
data are output to the interface
port without a print command. You
can choose to have data output
automatically at defined print
intervals with or without the stability
parameter. Whichever parameter
you select, the data will be output
as the readouts appear on the
balance display. The display update
frequency depends on both the
model of the balance and the current
operating state.
If you select the auto print setting,
data will be transmitted immediately
the moment you turn on the balance.
In the Setup menu, you can
configure whether this automatic
output can be stopped and started
by pressing p.
