4.3   Selecting the Location and Leveling the Balance

Your balance is a precision instrument and will thank you for an optimum location with high accuracy and
dependability.

4.3.1   Selecting the Location

Select a stable, vibration-free position that is as horizontal as possible. The surface must be able to safely carry
the weight of a fully loaded balance.
Observe ambient conditions (see Technical Data).
Avoid the following:
● Vibrations
● Excessive temperature fluctuations
● Direct sunlight
● Powerful drafts (e.g. from fans or air conditioners)

4.3.2   Leveling the Balance

The balances have a level indicator and two or four adjustable leveling
feet to compensate for slight irregularities in the surface of the weighing
bench. The balance is exactly horizontal when the air bubble is in the
middle of the level glass.
Note: The balance should be leveled and adjusted each time it is
moved to a new location.

Balances with 2 leveling feet

– Adjust the two front leveling feet appropriately until the air bubble
comes to rest exactly in the middle of the glass:
C 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 counterclockwise
Air bubble at "9 o'clock" turn left foot counterclockwise,
right foot clockwise

16 Setting up the Balance

 Balances with 4 leveling feet
1 First turn the two rear leveling feet all the way in.
2 Adjust the two front leveling feet as previously described.
3 Turn the rear leveling feet down onto the surface for extra stabiliz­
ing safety, so the balance cannot tilt over under eccentric loads.

4.4   Power Supply
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.

4.4.1   AC Operation
Your balance is supplied with an country-specific AC 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 exact specifications, see
section "technical data").
First, check the local line voltage is in the range 100 - 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz and whether the
power plug fits your local power supply connection. If this is not the case, on no account
connect the balance or the AC adapter to the power supply, but contact the responsible
METTLER TOLEDO dealer.

Important:
● Before operating, check all cables for damage.
● Guide the cables so that they cannot become damaged or interfere with the weighing
process!
● Take care that the AC adapter cannot come into contact with liquids!
● The power plug must be always accessible.

Connect the AC adapter to the connection socket on the back of your

balance (see figure) and to the power line.

4.4.2   Battery Operation
The Balance can also operate with batteries. Under normal operation conditions, the balance works indepen­
dently of the AC power line for about 8 to 15 hours (using alkaline batteries). Immediately after the AC power
supply is interrupted e.g. by withdrawing the power plug or if there is a power failure, the balance switches
automatically to battery operation. Once the AC power supply is restored, the balance reverts automatically to
AC operation.
Note: It is also possible to use rechargeable batteries. Charging batteries inside the balance is not possible.

Setting up the Balance 17

 battery full When the balance is operating on its batteries, the battery symbol in
the display lights up. The number of segments that are lit is an indica­
tor of battery condition (3 = fully charged, 0 = discharged). When the
2/3 full batteries are almost completely discharged, the battery symbol flashes.

1/3 full

battery empty

Inserting / Replacing Batteries

The balance must be disconnected from the power supply when carrying out all setup and
mounting work.

● Make sure that the balance is off before removing or inserting batteries.
● Do not place the balance on the pan support location bolt.
● Battery Warnings: Read and follow all warnings and instructions supplied by the battery
manufacturer.
● Do not mix different types or brands of batteries. Performance of batteries can vary very
greatly depending on the manufacturer.
● If you don't operate the balance with batteries for an extended period, it is recommended
to remove the batteries from the balance.
● Batteries must be disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner. No attempt
must be made to incinerate or disassemble item.

Your balance uses 8 standard AA (LR6) batteries (alkaline batteries preferred)

1 Remove weighing pan, pan support and draft shield element or
draft shield "100 mm" if present.
2 Turn the balance carefully on its side.
3 Open and remove the battery-chamber cover.
4 Insert / replace the batteries with the correct polarity as shown in
the battery holder.
5 Insert and close the battery-chamber cover.
6 Turn the balance carefully to its normal position.
7 Reinstall all components in the reverse order.

4.5   General Requirements

4.5.1   Switching on 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 0.001 g (0.01 ct) to 0.1 g.
● 60 minutes on balances with a readability of 0.1 mg (0.001 ct) and better.

 See also
● Adjusting the Balance  (page 19)

4.5.2   Adjusting the Balance

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

To determine the density of solid bodies, we recommend you to work with the optional densi­
ty kit which contains all the attachments and aids needed for convenient and precise density
determination. To determine the density of liquids, you additionally need a sinker which you
can also obtain from your METTLER TOLEDO dealer.
Note for performing of density determinations:
● You can also use the hanger for weighing below the balance which belongs to your bal­
ance.
● We recommend you to consult the operating instructions enclosed with the density kit.
● If a METTLER TOLEDO printer is attached to your balance, the settings will be automatical­
ly recorded.

Requirement: The function "DENSITY" must be assigned to the «F» key (see advanced menu
topic "ASSIGN:F"). Density kit is installed.

 11   Cleaning and Service
Every now and then, clean the weighing pan, draft shield element, bottom plate, draft shield (depending on the
model) and housing of your balance. Your balance is made from high-quality, durable materials and can
therefore be cleaned using a damp cloth or with a standard, mild cleaning agent.
Please observe the following notes:
● The balance must be disconnected from the power supply
● Ensure that no liquid comes into contact with the balance or the AC adapter.
● Never open the balance or AC adapter – they contain no components, which can be
cleaned, repaired or replaced by the user.

● On no account use cleaning agents which contain solvents or abrasive ingredients, as

this can result in damage to the operation panel overlay.
● Do not use wet, but only damp cloth for cleaning.

Please contact your METTLER TOLEDO dealer for details of the available service options. Reg­
ular servicing by an authorized service engineer ensures constant accuracy for years to come
and prolongs the service life of your balance.

12.2   MT-SICS Interface Commands and Functions

Many of the instruments and balances used have to be capable of integration in a complex computer or data
acquisition system.
To enable you to integrate balances in your system in a simple manner and utilize their capabilities to the full,
most balance functions are also available as appropriate commands via the data interface.
All new METTLER TOLEDO balances launched on the market support the standardized command set "METTLER
TOLEDO Standard Interface Command Set" (MT-SICS). The commands available depending on the functionality
of the balance.
