Taring

A weight can be determined accurately only from a defined zero point. Press one of the t keys (6)to zero the weight display. You can tare within theentire weighing range of the balance.

Simple Weighing (Weight Determination)

Place your sample on the weighing pan (1) todetermine the weight. Read off the weight indicatedon the display only after the weight unit “g” or a different unit selected appears as the stabilitysymbol. You can find more information on the weightunits on page 33 under “Weight Units.”

* = including the Signatories of the Agreement on theEuropean Economic Area

Important Note Concerning Verified Balances of Accuracy Class kTo avoid measuring errors, the respective air densitymust be allowed for. The following formula is used tocalculate the mass of the sample:

1– ρL/8000 kg m–3

m = nw 1– ρL/ρ

m = mass of the samplenw = weight readoutρL = air density during weighingρ = density of the sample

Important Note Concerning Verified BalancesApproved for Use as Legal Measuring Instruments in the EU*:The symbol n in the weight display (on the left)shows that the balance is exactly tared to “Zero”(±0.25 of a scale interval).

21

Page 22: BP SARTORIUS.pdf

Calibration/Adjustment

During calibration1), the span of the balance is adjusted to the changes in ambient conditions.

You must adjust or calibrate your new balance at the place of installation after each warmup period and before the first measurement. You must also re-adjust or recalibrate your balance each time you set it up in a different area or whenambient conditions change (especially the temperature). Verified balancesapproved for use as legal measuring instruments must be adjusted/calibrated at least once a day.

The balance offers you various adjustment and calibration functions. You canselect these functions by setting the appropriate menu codes. For more information,refer to “Balance Operating Menu.”

You can interrupt any adjustment or calibration function by pressing c (10).

Internal Calibration for Balances with a Built-inCalibration Weight

Menu code selection: 1 9 3**

When the display shows a zero readout, press theq key (9) to activate the calibration function.

1) “Calibration” technically means to determine the difference between the balance readout andthe actual weight on the pan to determine theaccuracy. Adjustment means to bring a balanceinto the state of accuracy required for its use.Therefore, “calibration,” as used in this manual,actually means “adjustment.”

** = including the Signatories of the Agreement onthe European Economic Area

** = factory setting for standard balances with a readability of ≤ 0.1mg and for verifiedbalances approved for use as legal measuringinstruments in Europe.

Using Verified Balances as Legal Measuring Instruments in the EU*:Before using your balance as a legal measuring instrument, you must carry out an “Internal Calibration” operation at the place of installation after thewarmup period.

22

Page 23: BP SARTORIUS.pdf

The built-in calibration weight is internally applied by servomotor and removed at the end of adjustmentor calibration.

If any interference affects the calibration procedure, you may obtain a brief display of the error code“Err 02.”In this case, tare and press the q key again.

Important Note! During calibration, the weighing pan must be unloaded.

External Calibration**

Menu code selection – for standard balances: 1 9 1*– for verified balances: 1 9 7

Use only calibration weights with nominal mass valuesand tolerances equal to or better than the accuracyclass specified for your balance. You can find an overview of the calibration weight sets under“Accessories.”

Unlocking the Access Switch on Verified Balances of Accuracy Class k:– Remove the protective cap from the menu

access switch (4) on the rear panel of the computingdevice.

– Move the menu access switch (4) in the direction of the arrow.

When a zero readout is displayed, press the qkey (9). This starts calibration. The calibration weightin grams is then displayed.

Errors or interference at the start of the calibrationroutine are indicated by the error code “Err 02.” If thisis the case, tare and press the q key again when a zero readout appears.

Care and Maintenance

Servicing

Regular servicing of your balance by a Sartoriustechnician will ensure its continued weighingaccuracy. Sartorius can offer you service contractswith your choice of regular maintenance intervalsranging from1month to 2 years.

Cleaning

Before cleaning the balance, unplug the AC adapterfrom the wall outlet (mains supply).

Please do not use any aggressive cleaning agents(solvents or similar agents). Instead, use a piece ofcloth which has been wet with a mild detergent (soap). Make sure that no liquid enters the balance housing.After cleaning, wipe down the balance with a soft, dry piece of cloth.

Carefully remove any sample residue/spilled powderby using a brush or a hand-held vacuum cleaner.Make sure that no liquid or dust enters the crevicesurrounding the pan adapter.

Safety Inspection

If there is any indication that safe operation of thebalance with the AC adapter is no longer warranted,turn off the power and disconnect the equipment from AC power immediately. Lock the equipment in a secure place to ensure that it cannot be used for thetime being.

Safe operation of the balance with the AC adapter is no longer ensured when– there is visible damage to the AC adapter– the AC adapter no longer functions properly– the AC adapter has been stored for a relatively long

period under unfavorable conditions

In this case, notify your nearest Sartorius ServiceCenter Unit. Only service technicians who areauthorized by Sartorius and who have access to therequired maintenance manuals are allowed to performmaintenance and repairwork on the equipment.

Display Modes

You can select the display mode that best meets your individual accuracyrequirements (last numeral). The display increments possible are as follows: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, etc.Starting with the basic increments of a weight unit, the display accuracy can be reduced by as many as three levels so that you will obtain a faster readout witha reduced display accuracy. The display accuracy is reduced proportionally to the selected basic increment of a weight unit. To make this concept easier to understand, the three levels are designated as “rounding factors” in the tablessummarizing the various menu code settings.

Automatic Taring after Data Output (Print on Request)

This convenient setting lets you checkweigh a series of samples or products without having to unload the balance after each weighing operation. – the sample remains on the pan after the weight readout has been printed

or transferred to an on-line computer– the balance is tared automatically after the weight readout has been printed

or transferred to an on-line computer– you simply load the next sample or part

CodeData output without automatic taring 6 4 1*Data output with automatic taring 6 4 2

Automatic Output of the Application Parameters

After completing an application started by pressing the v key, you can have theapplication parameters and results printed out or transferred to an on-line computer.

CodeOff 7 1 1*On 7 1 2

Data ID Codes

To help you identify weights, piece counts, percentages, etc., a code letter isprinted or displayed in front of these values. For example, an “N” printed or displayed in front of a weight value identifies it as a net weight. If you set thecode for “without data ID code,” only net weights, results in percent and counting results will be output. You will find the data ID codes for a particularapplication program listed in the corresponding description.The ID code increases the data output format for each weight readout from 16 to 22 characters.

CodeLast net value (individual value N1) 7 3 1*Tare memory data (total T1) 7 3 2

Additional FunctionsMenu Access Switch Function on Standard Balances

You can define the function of the menu access switch by setting the code for thebalance operating menu to “accessible.” The balance operating menu will then beaccessible at all times, which means that you can change the menu codes at anytime regardless of the setting of the menu access switch.

Access to the balance operating menu CodeAccessible 8 1 1Depends on the setting of the menu access switch 8 1 2*

Menu Access Switch Function on Verified Balances

The balance operating menu can also be changed when the balance is beingused as a legal measuring instrument. Codes that are not permitted for operation of the balance as a legal measuring instrument are blocked and cannot beselected. For balances of accuracy class K, the menu access switch is adjustedto lock the “External Calibration” function after verification. To do this, the switchmust be moved to the left. A control seal is affixed to the balance to lock the menu access switch. Unauthorized attempts to remove this seal will irreversiblydamage it. If you break the seal, the validity of the verification will become void, and you must have your balance re-verified.

Blocking the Keys

You can block all keys on the balance (except for e).

Power-On Mode

Depending on your requirements, you can change the power-on mode of your balance.

The factory setting is: (power) off –> on <–> standby.In this default setting, when you press the e key (11) to turn off the display, thebalance will remain in the standby mode. This means that it will be ready to operate without requiring any warmup when you turn the display back on.

In the setting “Toggle between on and standby,” the balance will automatically turn on again after it has been temporarily disconnected from AC power or a power failure has occurred.

In the setting “Automatic power-on,” the balance will automatically turn on againafter it has been temporarily disconnected from AC power, the e key has been pressed, or after a power failure has occurred. In this setting, you cannotuse the e key to turn off the balance. If your balance is connected to a centralpower supply that is switched off overnight, the balance will turn on automaticallythe next day as soon as the power supply is switched on again.

Animal Weighing/Averaging

Animal Weighing/Averaging Code 2 1 7

Symbol displayed: m

Use this program to determine the weights of live animals or weights under unstable ambient conditions. In this program, the balance calculates the weight asthe average of a selectable number of individual weighing operations.

During averaging, the number of remaining individual subweighing operations is shown on the application display in a “countdown” mode.Once all subweighing operations have been performed, the calculated meanvalue is indicated as a stable readout on the weight display.

Manual or Automatic Start Mode

Depending on the menu code you select, animal weighing will be startedautomatically or manually by pressing a key.If you select the “automatic mode,” you will have to press v to start the programfor averaging the first weight. You can press c to interrupt a weightmeasurement in progress at any time. In the “automatic mode,” the symbol“AUTO” will be displayed during weight measurement. The result is locked into the display. The ”m” symbol or “AUTO” flashes during this time. The readout willstop flashing after you have unloaded the balance, and the next weight will be displayed.

Animal weighing/averaging will start by CodeManual mode 3 8 1Automatic mode 3 8 2*

Once averaging has been completed, the program will stop until the balance isunloaded to half the value (50 display increments) of the storage threshold.

* = factory setting

47

Page 48: BP SARTORIUS.pdf

Delayed Start Mode

A rule of thumb to go by for selecting the right setting to weigh animals is: the more active an animal is, the greater the difference must be between twosuccessive subweights measured.Depending on individual requirements, starting the averaging operation can bedelayed either in the automatic or manual mode until the animal you are weighinghas calmed down to a certain degree.In this case, the start criterion is defined by the difference between two successivesubweights measured. If the animal moves, the start criterion is not met; therefore,averaging will not start. Once the animal has calmed down, the program checks whether two measured subweights are within the previously selected range.If so, the actual averaging operation will be started.

Delay start until… Codedifference is slight 3 7 1difference is average 3 7 2*difference is considerable 3 7 3

During averaging, the number of subweighing operations left to perform is shownon the weight display (countdown mode).

Changing the Number of Subweighing Operations

You can change the number of subweighing operations used to average a weight. Change this number in cycles. You can choose from the followingsettings: 5,10, 20, 50 and 100.

To activate the Hold down v (8) for more than 2 seconds until change function: “rEF 10” appears on the displayTo change the setting: Briefly press v

If you enter a wrong number, press c to clear itTo store the number: Hold down v for more than 2 seconds to store

this number permanently (in the non-volatile memory)after you turn off the power

This setting is not canceled by the reset code 9 – – 1°!

* = factory setting

Page 49: BP SARTORIUS.pdf

Storage Threshold for the Automatic Start Mode

To obtain an added measure of reliability in the automatic mode, in order to avoid an “incorrect start,” a weight value must correspond to a minimum load of 100 display increments.

Practical Example: Animal Weighing in the Automatic Start Mode

Menu code settings used in the example:

ISO/GLP-compliant Printout or Record

Application: Use of the balance as a test and measuring instrument in quality assurance systems in compliance with the requirements of ISO, GLP, GMP and EN (EuropeanStandards) in which proof of the balance’s accurate performance is required.The balance can record all completed calibration or adjustment operations andprint out data in compliance with the requirements of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP). The balance, interfaced with a data printer or a computer, creates a document that records the date, time, serial number and model number, making it possible to clearly trace data to the balance that generated it and thetime at which it was generated.

Select the ISO/GLP-compliant printout or record mode by setting the respectivecode in the balance operating menu:

ISO/GLP-compliant printout/record mode CodeOff 8 10 1*Only for adjustment/calibration and linearization functions 8 10 2Always on (e.g., for adjustment/calibration and linearization functions, application programs, weight readouts) 8 10 3

The following menu code setting must be selected in order to obtain an ISO/GLP-compliant printout/record:

With data ID code 7 2 2

Interface Description

General Information

This description has been written for users who wish to connect their Sartorius balance, which has a built-inV24/V28-RS-232C(-S)*)/423 interface port as a standard feature, to a computer or a differentperipheral device.

By using an on-line computer, you can change,activate and monitor the functions of the balance.

In addition, an external universal switch for remotecontrol of various functions can be connected to thedata interface port on the balance.

If you interface an original Sartorius accessorydevice, such as a Sartorius Data Printer or a similarunit, with a balance that has the factory-set menucodes, you do not need to change any settings.

Interfacing Devices with the Balance

Please note that the interface port is electricallyconnected to the protective grounding conductor(protective earth = PE) of the balance housing. The cabling supplied as accessory components isshielded and electrically connected on both ends to the cases of the connectors. This electricalconnection may result in interference caused byground loops or by transient currents if you havegrounded the housing or connected the protectivegrounding conductor for AC power. If necessary,connect an equipotential bonding conductor to the balance.

Data Input Formats

Commands can be input via the balance interface port to control the balance functions.Control commands are distinguished according to those with upper-case letters, or special characters, and those with lower-case letters.

Format for Control Commands

Control commands can include up to 13 characters.Each character must be transmitted with a start bit, a 7-bit ASCII-coded character, a parity bit and one or two stop bits.

You can define the parity, baud rate, handshake mode and the number of stop bits by programming the respective codes in the balance operating menu (see page 35).

Formats:

ESC = Escape (ASCII 27)K, f = Command characters (see following pages)X = Number_ = Underline (ASCII 95)CR = Carriage return (ASCII 13)LF = Line feed (ASCII 10)

The characters CR and LF do not have to be transmitted in the data string.

ESC f X _ CR LF

ESC K CR LF

60

Control Commands with Upper-Case Letters or Special Characters

p (print; activate/block auto print)

The “P,” “T” and “Z” commands do not affect the menu code settings of the balance to reinitialize (turns the scale off and back on again). The “S” commandcauses the processor to reintialize (turns the scale off and back on again).

The balance will operate according to the commands available up until the processor is reinitialized. Once the balance has been turned on, the processor willalways recognize the codes entered by the user in the balance operating menu.

Synchronization and Data Output Parameters

Definition

During data communication between the balance and an on-line device (computer), “telegram-style” information consisting of ASCII characters is transmittedby the interface.

For error-free data communication, the interface parameters, including the baudrate, parity and handshake mode as well as the character format, must be the samefor both units.

You can change these parameters in the balance operating menu so that theymatch those of the on-line device.In addition to these parameter settings, you can define the data output parameter of the balance so that data are transmitted depending on various conditions – see “Utilities...” on page 36.

If you do not plug a peripheral device into the interface port on the balance, thiswill not generate an error code. In this case, data will be output but not received.

Handshake

The balance interface (Sartorius Balance Interface = SBI) has a 23-byte transmitbuffer and a 40-byte receive buffer.

You can access the balance operating menu to define various handshakeparameters:

Software handshake: – controlled by “XOFF” and “XON”Hardware handshake: – after “CTS” send 2 characters

– after “CTS” send 1 character

What happens when you define a software handshake?

Receiving device:

“XOFF” will not be transmitted until the receive buffer has stored the 26th character. The enable command “XON” is given after the buffer has transmitted all charactersup to the 14th character.

If the device addressed does not understand the control command, the receivingdevice continues to operate additionally with a hardware handshake after it hasreceived another 6 characters.

63

Page 64: BP SARTORIUS.pdf

For data communication with a software handshake, “XON” must be sent by a device when it is turned on in order to enable another on-line device toexchange data.

Sequence:

Balance Receiving device

– – – – – byte – – – – →– – – – – byte – – – – →– – – – – byte – – – – →– – ← – – – <XOFF> – – – – –– – – – – byte – – – – → (Once <XOFF> has been transmitted, a maximum– – – – – byte – – – – → of 14 bytes can still be received.)

: :: Pause :: :: :

– – ← – – – <XON> – – – – – –– – – – – byte – – – – →– – – – – byte – – – – →

Transmitting device:

The importance of handshake control for data transmission becomes especially apparent– when the continuous automatic data output parameter is defined – when data output is controlled by application programs

Once <XOFF> has been received, it prevents further transmission of characters.When <XON> is received, it re-enables the transmitting device to send data. The transmitting device is always enabled for sending data after it has beenswitched on.

If data transmission is interrupted by the control line (CTS) or the command <XOFF> while a data block is being output from an application program (only forprinting a section of text with several lines of data), the readout will be locked into the display at the same time.Data output will be blocked until the interface receives an enabling signal.

64

Page 65: BP SARTORIUS.pdf

Activating a Data Output Process

You can define the data output parameter so that output is activated eitherautomatically or when a print command is received. You have two options for theautomatic mode: data output can be either synchronous with the balance displayor activated at defined intervals (to select the parameter, see the section entitled“Utilities for Printouts or Data Transfer”).

Data Output by Print Command

The print command can be transmitted by a software command or by pressing p.

In addition to an interface cable for a different device, you can connect an external universal switch for remote control to the balance interface port (for theprint function, see page 35). For the switch, use pins 8 and 15 of this port and a cable up to 1.5 m or 5 ft. long (RS-232C).

If data output is requested by a software command (see the section on “Data InputFormats”), you can install a 15-m (50-ft.) cable for RS-232C.

Automatic Data Output

In the “auto print” operating mode, the data are output to the interface port withoutrequiring a print command. You can choose to have data output automatically atdefined print intervals with or without the stability parameter. Whichever parameteryou select, the data will be output as the readouts appear on the balance display.If you select the auto print setting, data will be transmitted immediately the momentyou turn on the balance. This data output function is described under “Utilities...”on page 36.

Higher Data Output Rates

If you require an output rate higher than 10 Hz, ask Sartorius for this information.
