Select alphabetic input a 2. Select the required letter group ABCDEF soft key 3. Enter the letter “A” A soft key (To delete a letter: c) 4.
Calibration/Adjustment “isoTEST” Purpose Calibration is the determination of the difference between the weight readout and the true weight (mass) of a sample. Calibration does not entail making any changes within the scale. Adjustment is the correction of this difference between the measured value displayed and the true weight (mass) of the sample, or the reduction of the difference to an allowable level within maximum permissible error limits.

Operating the Scale Internal Calibration/Adjustment Calibration and Adjustment Sequence First set either In the Setup menu, you can configure the scale so that: Internal cal./ adjustment or Selection mode (factory setting) in the Setup: Scale menu. Inside the scale housing is a built-in motorized calibration weight.
Selecting the Calibration/ Adjustment Parameter The setting Selection mode must be selected in the Setup menu (factory setting). After pressing the isoTST soft key, you can choose from among the following settings by pressing the Select soft key: – External calibration/adjustment with the preset calibration weight: Ext. cal./adj.; factory-def. wt. – Internal calibration/adjustment Internal cal.
Operating the Scale External Calibration/Adjustment* with a User-Defined Calibration Weight First set either Ext. cal./ adj.;user-defined wt. Selection mode (factory or setting) in the Setup: Scale menu. You can define a weight for calibration/adjustment. External calibration/adjustment must be performed with weights that are traceable to a national standard and that have error limits which are at least 1/3 of the required tolerance of the display accuracy.
isoCAL: Automatic Calibration and Adjustment First set either On and reset the application or On without resetting the app. (factory setting) in the Setup: Scale menu. The “isoCAL” display automatically begins flashing if the ambient temperature changes in relation to the temperature at the time of the last calibration/adjustment, or after a defined time interval has elapsed. The scale is telling you that it wants to adjust itself.
Operating the Scale Determination of the Reproducibility (reproTEST) Definition Reproducibility is the ability of the scale to display identical readouts when it is loaded several times with the same weight under constant ambient conditions. The standard deviation for a given number of measurements is used to quantify the reproducibility. Purpose Preparation The “reproTEST” function automatically determines the reproducibility of results (based on 6 individual measurements).

Operating the Scale Basic Settings Display Printout Configuration Keypad You can configure the display for your individual needs. Many of the application programs require values to be input for initialization. You can configure the scale to print all initialization values, or only the main values, automatically as soon as they are set. Auto print upon You can assign different functions to the c key for deleting input and applications.
Additional Functions (in the Scale menu) Password You can block access to parameter settings in the Setup menu and to the ID-code input function, as well as to the exact calibration weight, by assigning a password. Enter the password under Setup: Input. See “Configuring the Scale” for a detailed description.
Operating the Scale Combining Applications The following table summarizes the possibilities for combination of the application programs described here. Each line stands for one combination. The weighing function is generally available, and does not have to be combined with a calculating function.
Using Applications in Combination Example 1: Checkweighing with statistical evaluation You want to check a piece count, and have the results that lie within the tolerance range statistically evaluated and printed as a ISO/GMP-compliant record.
Operating the Scale 5. Initialize Checkweighing Toggle to Checkweighing D/[TOGGLE] 6. Enter target, minimum and maximum values (here: target: 10 pcs; minimum: 7 pcs; maximum: 12 pcs) Param. 7. Store input l soft key soft key 1 0, l soft key 7, l soft key 12 8. Determine first unknown quantity Place uncounted parts on the scale 9. Toggle to Statistics D/[TOGGLE] 10. Initialize automatic storage M+ 11.
Practical Example 2: Animal weighing with statistics Determine the weights of 7 mice; generate and print a statistical evaluation.
Operating the Scale Step Key (or instruction) The scale delays starting the subweighing operation until three successive subweights lie within the range defined for a “calm” animal When this criterion is met, the subweighing series begins Display/Output After 20 subweighing operations (n: number of current subweigh x-Net: arithm. average, net value) 7. Store result and activate autom. storage by pressing the M+ soft key (automatic storage is not active here*) M+ 8.
Practical Example 3: Calculation with statistics Statistically determine the average gsm weight of A4 paper and document the result with a printout of the results on 10 samples. The gsm weight is a product of the division of the weight by the surface area. One A4 sheet has a surface area of 0.210 m x 0.297 m = 0.06237 m2.
Operating the Scale 9. Enter no. of samples for Statistics (here: 10 samples) 10 10. Store number no. of samples nDef 11. Place one sheet of A 4 paper in the container Place load on scale 12. Store measured value M+ 13. Place the next sheet of paper in the container (value is stored automatically) Place load on scale soft key soft key 14.
Data Output Functions There are 3 options for data output: – Output to the display and 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 9 sections.
Operating the Scale Measured Value Line This line shows: 1250é 35 =W*18.3*0.9 – The current weight value (bordered values are invalid in legal metrology) – Calculated values (e.g., piece count) – User input (e.g., lot number, equation) Weight Unit Display This section shows: kg pcs – The current weight unit (e.g., kg) – Designation of other values (e.g.
Scale Information In the Setup menu, you can select Setup: information.
Operating the Scale Printing a Data Record Available Features Factory Settings Print manually/automatically: To print the information contained in the measured value line (weight readout, calculated value, numeric input, alphabetic input) Manual/auto print mode: Individual printout on request, or automatic printing dependent on stability: Manual with stability [6-1-2] Line format: You can configure a data ID code of up to 6 characters for each of the values printed; this data ID code is printed at the
Print Manually/Automatically Examples The printout contains the current value in the measured value display (weight readout with weight unit; calculated value; numeric/ alphabetic display) Setting: Setup: Menu: Print in weighing mode: Manual/auto print mode Line Format The current value displayed can be printed with a data ID code of up to 6 characters at the beginning of the line. You can use this data ID code, e.g.
Operating the Scale Auto Print You can have the weight readout printed automatically1. This printout can be generated after a certain number of display updates2; you can also configure whether or not the auto-print function is dependent on the stability parameter3. The display update frequency depends on both the model of the scale and the current operating status.
2nd Tare Memory/Identifier Printout shows either – Net value N1, – Tare weight T1, or – Manually entered tare value PT1 Up to 4 identifier lines can be included on the printout 63.48 g 138.73 g 150.00 g Batch no. 1234 Eisenmeier GmbH Screws: M4x6 Mr. Smith Net val. with data in 2nd tare memory Tare weight Manually entered tare weight Identifier 1 Identifier 2 Identifier 3 Identifier 4 -------------------17.01.97 16:12:12 SARTORIUS Mod.

Operating the Scale Interface Description Purpose Your Factory scale comes equipped with an interface port for connection to a computer or other peripheral device. You can use an on-line computer to change, start and/or monitor the functions of the scale and the application programs. The interface port also has four data output port lines for the over/under checkweighing program.
Line Format (Data Output Format) Output Format With 16 Characters You can output the values displayed in the measured value line and the weight unit with or without a data ID code Display segments that are not activated are output as spaces. Characters without a decimal point are output without a decimal point. Example: Without data ID code + 253 pcs Example: With data ID code Qnt + 253 pcs Configure this parameter in the Setup menu (Setup: Basic settings: Printout configuration: Line format).
Operating the Scale Data output example: + 1255.7 g Position 1 + Position Position Position Position Position Position Position 2 * 1: 2: 3–10: 11: 12–14: 15: 16: 3 * 4 * 5 1 6 2 7 5 8 5 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 .
Data Input Format You can connect a computer to your scale to send commands via the scale interface port to control scale functions and applications. The commands sent are control commands and may have different formats; e.g., control commands can have up to 26 characters. Each character must be transmitted according to the settings configured in the Setup menu for data transmission.
Operating the Scale Synchronization Handshake Transmitting Device: During data communication between the scale and an on-line device (computer), messages consisting of ASCII characters are transmitted via the interface. For error-free data communication, the parameters for baud rate, parity, handshake mode and character format must be the same for both units. The scale interface (Sartorius Scale Interface = SBI) has transmit and receive buffers.
