5.2 Methods
A weighing method is an application for carrying out specific weighing tasks. The balance offers the method
"General Weighing" with default parameters. You have the possibility to create a maximum of 50 methods and
edit the methods. You can use these methods for your weighing task or edit them according to your
requirements. Methods can also be deleted or cloned.
To support you while configuring new methods, a configuration wizard leads you through the whole process.

5.2.1 Methods overview

The section Methods list provides an overview of all methods already created on the balance. In this section,
new methods can be defined and existing methods can be edited, cloned or deleted. It is also the starting point
for using any method in a weighing procedure.

The following methods are available:
General weighing (see [Method "General weighing" Page 33])
Simple formulation (see [Method "Simple formulation" Page 35])
Piece Counting (see [Method "Piece Counting" Page 37])
Titration (see [Method "Titration" Page 38])
Density determination (see [Method "Density determination" Page 39])

5.2.2 Method "General weighing"

The method General weighing offers the basic weighing functions (zeroing, taring, weighing). The method is
used for simple weighing tasks or to perform a series of check weighing or dosing.
The settings of the weighing item, e.g., target weight and tolerances, can be specified for one or multiple
weighing items. Two different methods exist:
General weighing:
Select this method if you want to work with a single set of parameters.
General weighing (itemized):

Analytical Balances Operation​​ 33

 Select this method if you want to define the parameters for multiple weighing items. A method with
multiple weighing items is particularly useful when the weighing task consists of a series of weighings,
each with its own individual parameters, such as target weight, tolerances, etc. For further information,
see [Using methods with multiple weighing items (itemized) Page 42].

5.2.6 Method "Density determination"

The method Density determination is used for determining the density of solids and liquids. Density determi-
nation is carried out based on Archimedes' principle according to which a body immersed in a fluid
undergoes an apparent loss in weight that is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. On the other hand, the
Density determination method also supports the pycnometer method, which does not rely on Archimedes'
principle. The method Density determination includes three method types:
Solid: Determines the density of a solid with the help of a density kit.
Liquid (sinker): Determines the density of a liquid with the help of a density kit and a sinker.

5.2.10 Using methods with multiple weighing items (itemized)

Working with itemized methods can simplify the workflow, especially when several weighings with different
predefined target weights have to be carried out one after the other. Information such as a target weight and
tolerances can be defined for each weighing item within a single task. This may save time and increase quality
of weighing processes consisting of multiple steps.
Before multiple weighing items can be used in the weighing process, they must be defined. The two ways of
creating a weighing method that includes several weighing items are:
Directly define the multiple weighing items during the method creating process.
Use the Results list of a running method to define a new method with multiple weighing items.
The following methods use multiple weighing items:
General weighing (itemized)
Simple formulation (itemized)

5.2.10.1 Creating a new method with multiple weighing items (itemized)

This example describes how to define multiple weighing items for the method General weighing (itemized).

appear.

5.3 Test weights

5.3.1 Defining an individual test weight

The user should enter data related to each test weight based on the corresponding certificate. This enables each
external test weight to be clearly assigned to a specific certificate. Up to 12 external test weights can be
configured. These test weights can be used to carry out external tests and adjustments.
Navigation: Methods > Tests > Test weights
Note
An external test weight for an external adjustment has to weigh at least 10% of the balance capacity. External
test weights under 10% of the balance capacity are not displayed on the balance.
The dialog Test weights is open.
1 Tap Test weight.
2 Define the test weight settings and confirm with Finish.
The test weight is defined and will be available later in the test procedure.

5.3.2 Defining a combined test weight

The user can combine test weights to achieve a test weight capacity that is not available as a single standard
weight. For example, a weight of 10 g and a weight of 20 g can be combined and used as a test weight of
30 g. Each combined test weight can include two or three test weights. The class of a specific combined weight
can only be as good as the worst class of the individual test weights it contains. As for any other test weight,
combined test weight can be used to carry out external tests and adjustments.
Navigation: Methods > Tests > Test weights
The dialog Test weights is open.
At least two individual test weights are defined.
1 Tap Combined weight.
2 Enter a Test weight name.
3 Select the Minimum weight class for the combined weight.
4 Tap Weights.
The individual weights of at least Minimum weight class are shown.
5 Select the weights to include in the combined weight.
6 Tap OK.
The Nominal weight is calculated as the sum of the selected individual weights.
7 Tap Save.
The combined test weight is defined and will be available later in the test procedure.

5.4 Tests
Routine tests can be performed to ensure accurate weighing results according to GWP® or other QM systems.
Therefore the tests should be performed in fixed, regular intervals depending on your QM system and the results
should be documented in a traceable way.

Analytical Balances Operation​​ 43

 Navigation: Methods > Tests

5.4.1 Overview routine tests

METTLER TOLEDO can help you to define the routine tests to be performed based on your process requirements.
Please contact your local METTLER TOLEDO representative for additional information.

5.4.1.1 Eccentricity
The purpose of the eccentricity test is to check if every
eccentric load deviation (corner load deviation) is within
the user SOP tolerances. The corner load is the deviation of
the measurement value through off-center (eccentric)
loading. The corner load increases with the weight of the
3
load and its distance from the center of the weighing pan
support (1). If the display remains consistent, even when
the same load is placed on different parts of the weighing 2 1 4
pan, the balance does not have corner load deviation.
The result corresponds to the highest of the four 5
determined eccentric load deviations (2 to 5).

5.4.1.2 Repeatability test

The repeatability test calculates the standard deviation of a series of measurements with a single test weight in
order to determine the repeatability of the balance.
Repeatability is a measure of the ability of a balance to supply the same result in repetitive weighings with one
and the same load under the same measurement conditions. During the test, a load is placed and measured at
the same location on the weighing pan several times. Afterwards, the difference between the measured weight
values is calculated. The spread of the measured results leads to the repeatability.
Repeatability is highly affected by the ambient conditions (drafts, temperature fluctuations and vibrations) and
also by the skill of the person performing the weighing. Therefore, the series of measurements must be carried
out by the same operator, in the same location, under constant ambient conditions and without interruption.
The following test types are available:
Repeatab. - 1 TP: To test the repeatability of the balance at one test point, without tare weight.
Repeatab. - Tare - 1 TP: To test the repeatability of the balance at one test point, with a tare weight.

5.4.1.3 Sensitivity test

The sensitivity of the balance defines the deviation between the balance reading and the actual load. The sensi-
tivity test allows you to measure the sensitivity using one or two test points.
The following test types are available:
Sensitivity - 1 TP: To test the sensitivity of the balance at one test point, without tare weight.
Sensitivity - 2 TP: To test the sensitivity of the balance at two test points, without tare weight.
Sensitivity - Tare - 1 TP: To test the sensitivity of the balance at one test point, with a tare weight.
Sensitivity - Tare - 2 TP: To test the sensitivity of the balance at two test points, with a tare weight.

5.4.2 Creating a new test

Before a test can be performed, the test settings have to be defined. A test wizard is leading you step-by-step
through the process.
1 Open the Methods section.
2 Tap Tests.
3 Tap New.
The wizard Create new test starts.

5.6 Peripheral devices

5.6.1 Printer
Printers can help document your processes and results. Two types of printers can be connected to the balance:
strip printer: to print on strip paper, for example, for the documentation of weighing result
label printer: to print on label stickers, for example, for the identification of samples
Each weighing method offers the possibility to trigger the printing process manually on a label or on strip paper
when completing a task. The settings of the method can also be edited such that the results are automatically
printed when a result is added to the result list or when the task is complete, for example. When using a label
printer, the template of the printed label is defined individually for each method.
The following sections show typical use cases of installing and using a printer with the balance. They cover two
combinations of settings amongst: manual and automatic printing, strip and label printing, task results and
weighing item results printing, as well as USB and Bluetooth connections. Other combinations of settings can
be achieved similarly.

NOTICE
Damage to the device due to inappropriate use
Consult the User Manual of the device before using it.

Divisive: The factor is divided by the net weight.
The formula can be used, for example, to simultaneously take
into account a known error factor while weighing.

84 Software Description​​ Analytical Balances

 Factor Defines the factor with which the effective weighing result (net Numeric
weight) is calculated via the previously selected Formula.
Display Defines the formatting for the weighing result. Numeric
readability Example: A setting of "0.05" defines two places after the decimal
point with rounding to 5. A determined result of 123.4777 is
consequently displayed as 123.50.
This function can only be used to reduce the resolution of the
weighing result. No value must therefore be entered that exceeds
the maximum balance resolution. Values that are too small are
automatically rounded off.

 9.2 Explanatory notes for the METTLER TOLEDO AC/DC adapter
The certified external AC/DC adapter complies to the requirements for Class II double insulated equipment. It is
not provided with a protective earth connection but with a functional earth connection for EMC purposes. This
earth connection is not a safety feature. Further information about the compliance of our products can be found
in the "Declaration of Conformity" delivered with every product.
In case of testing with regard to the European Directive 2001/95/EC, the AC/DC adapter and the instrument
have to be handled as Class II double insulated equipment.
Consequently, a grounding test is not required. It is Plastic housing

 12 Appendix
12.1 Approved balances

12.1.1 Definitions
Approved balances
Approved balances are balances that are subject to the local, legal requirements of "non-automatic weighing
instruments", as defined in OIML R76. For approved balances, the net weighing results must comply with a
higher level of control. Approved balances are used, for example, for legal metrology, for weight-based trading,
or for determination of mass for the application of laws. The term "approved balance" includes legal-for-trade
(LFT) balances, certified balances, and registered balances.
The restrictions and special behaviors of these balances are described in the present section as well as in
specific balance settings throughout the manual.
To identify approved balances, the characters /M or /A are appended to the model names.
Actual scale interval, d
The value d represents the "actual scale interval". According to OIML R76-1 [T.3.2.2], it represents the
difference between two consecutive indicated values. In some countries, the value d is defined as the "scale
division" or the "scale division interval". In practice, it is often referred to as the "readability".
Verification scale interval, e
The value e represents the "verification scale interval" [OIML R76-1: T.3.2.3]. This value is used for the classi-
fication and verification of an instrument. It represents the absolute accuracy of the instrument and is relevant in
the context of market surveillance.
The minimum value of the verification scale interval is 1 mg. [OIML R76-1: 3.2]

12.1.2 Descriptive markings

The descriptive markings of the instrument are on the model label, according to OIML R76-1 [7.1.4]:
Min: minimum capacity
Max: maximum capacity (referred to as "capacity" in this document)
e: verification scale interval
d: actual scale interval
The type label also contains those descriptive markings, as well as other metrological characteristics and limits
of the instrument.

12.1.3 Restrictions on zeroing and taring

Zeroing the balance
When switching on the balance, an initial zero is performed. If the load is more than 20% of the balance
capacity during the initial zero, the zeroing is not possible and no weighing value is displayed. [OIML
R76-1: T.2.7.2.4 and 4.5.1]
During operation, the range for which a zero can be performed is ± 2% of the balance capacity. [OIML
R76-1: 4.5.1]
Taring the balance
It is not possible to tare the balance if the gross weight is negative. [OIML R76-1: 4.6.4]

12.1.4 Factory method: General Weighing

All balances are delivered with a factory method named General Weighing. For approved balances:
The factory method cannot be deleted.
The unit of the factory method General Weighing is set to g and cannot be edited.

162 Appendix​​ Analytical Balances

 When switching on the balance, the factory method is shown on the weighing screen, regardless of which
method was running when the balance was switched off.
For the tolerance profile used by the factory method, the setting Display readability is set to 1d and cannot
be edited.

12.1.5 Representation of weighing results

The representation of weighing results from approved balances follows rules with respect to the weighing units,
the weight value, and the indicator of the type of weight. These rules are described in the following paragraphs.
Unit
A reduced set of units is available for selection.
Units defined by the user (Custom unit) are restricted to characters that cannot be confused with other
standard units. The following values are not allowed (uppercase and lowercase letters):
all common units, abbreviation or full name, for example, g, gram, kg, ct, oz, etc.
c, ca, car, cm, crt, cart, kt, gr, mgr, ugr, kgr, gra, mgra, ugra, kgra, grm, mgrm, ugrm, kgrm, mgram,
ugram, kgram, k, kilo, to, tn, sh, tael, dram, dr, lboz, gramme, tonne, livre, once, lbt, cwt, dwt
all common units starting with the letter "o", where the "o" is replaced by the number "0", for example,
0z, 0zt, etc.
all common units where the letter "s" is added at the end
Weighing result
If the actual scale interval is smaller than the verification scale interval (d < e), the digits that are smaller than
e, are called non-verified digits. For balances showing up to four digits (d ≥ 0.1 mg), the non-verified digits
are marked. For example, a weight of 100 mg placed on a balance with e = 1 mg and d = 0.1 mg would be
printed as 100.[0] mg. [OIML R76-1: 3.4.1, 3.4.2]
primary weight value on the main weighing screen: the non-verified digits are grayed out
secondary weight value (Info weight) on the main weighing screen: the non-verified digits are grayed out
Results list, detailed view: the non-verified digits are in brackets
Alibi memory: the non-verified digits are in brackets
Printout: the non-verified digits are in brackets
Data export: no special marking
If custom units are used, the non-verified digits are not marked.
The depiction of the weight values does not affect the accuracy of the weighing results. That is consistent with
legal metrology requirements.
Indicator for weighing result
The type of weighing result, such as Net weight, Tare weight, or Gross weight, is marked according to OIML
R76-1 [T.5.2, T.5.3, 4.6.5, 4.6.11, 4.7].
Indicator Main weighing screen Results list Printout
Net weight Net Net weight N
Tare weight – Tare weight T
Preset tare weight – Preset tare weight PT
Gross weight – Gross weight G1
Calculated weight * *
Unstable weight D D
1
If only the gross weight is included on the printout, the indicator G is omitted.

Analytical Balances Appendix​​ 163

 Printout examples
The following examples refer to a balance with e = 1 mg and d = 0.1 mg. The tare or preset tare value is
200 mg, the gross weight is 743.2 mg and the net weight is 543.2 mg.
with manual tare: with preset tare:
N 543.[2] mg N * 543.[2] mg
T 200.[0] mg PT 200.0 mg
G 743.[2] mg G 743.[2] mg

12.1.6 MT-SICS
The following commands are not available for approved balances:
C0
It is not possible to change the adjustment type.
TI
It is not possible to do an immediate tare. [OIML R76-1: 4.6.8]
ZI
It is not possible to do an immediate zero. [OIML R76-1: 4.5.6]
