Operating Instructions Sartorius Basiclite Sartorius Gemlite Electronic Precision Balances and Precious Metal Scales 98648-008-55
Practical Use The Basiclite Series and Gemlite Series from Sartorius offer precision balances/ scales with capacities ranging from 0.1 mg to 12 kg. These balances/scales meet the highest requirements on the accuracy and reliability of weighing results through the following features: – Efficient filtering-out of unfavorable ambient conditions such as vibrations, drafts, etc.
Getting Started Warranty Do not miss out on the benefits of our full warranty. Please contact your local Sartorius office or dealer for further information. Complete the warranty registration card, if available indicating the date of installation, and return the card to your Sartorius office or dealer. Storage and Shipping Conditions Do not expose the balance/scale to shocks, vibration, moisture or extreme temperatures.
– – – – – – 4 Installation Instructions Your balance/scale is designed to provide reliable weighing results under normal ambient conditions.
Setting up the Balance/Scale Balances/Scales with an Analytical Draft Shield Chamber: § Place the components listed below inside the chamber in the order given: – Shield plate – Shield ring – Pan support – Weighing pan – Gem tray (only with GC models) Balances/Scales with a Glass Draft Shield: § Place the components listed below inside the chamber in the order given: – Draft shield base – place it on the balance/scale so that the edge for fitting the glass draft shield faces upwards and turn it until it is
Connecting the Balance/Scale to AC Power/ Safety Precautions Use only original Sartorius AC adapters: – for Europe: 6971948 – for the RSA: 6971949 – for the U.S.: 6971947 – for Australia: 6971950 § Insert the right-angle plug into the jack § The AC adapter rated to Class 2 can be plugged into any wall outlet without requiring any additional safety precautions The ground is connected to the balance/scale housing, which can be additionally grounded for operation.
Selecting the Line Voltage (Mains Voltage) Use the following original AC adapters for selecting the line voltage: – AC adapter TNG8, order no. 6971951 (universal) or – AC adapter TNG8, order no. 6971952 (for the U.K.) ● Use the switch to toggle between 230 V and 115 V Leveling the Balance/Scale (only for models BL210S, BL120S, BL60S, BL150S, BL1500S, GC503, GC103, GM1502, GM2202, GM1202) Level the balance/scale any time you set it up in a new location.
Operating the Balance/Scale Basic Weighing Function Available Features – Taring the balance/scale You can tare the balance/scale within the entire weighing range.
Calibration/Adjustment* Always calibrate/adjust the balance/scale after setting it up in a new location. Available Features Calibration/adjustment can only be performed when – there is no load on the balance/scale, – the balance/scale is tared, – the internal signal is stable. If these conditions are not met, an error message is displayed. The weight required for calibration/adjustment is displayed (see “Accessories” for calibration weights; for model GC503 see “Equipment Supplied”).
Application Programs Counting Purpose With the Counting program you can determine the number of parts that each have approximately equal weight.
Example Determine an unknown piece count; weigh the preset reference sample quantity Settings (changes in the factory settings required for this example): Menu: Application program: Counting (menu code 2. 1. 4) Reference sample quantity: 20 pcs (menu code 3. 3. 3) Step 1 1. Turn on the balance/scale Key (or instruction) Display/Printout e 12. Tare the balance/scale t 13. Display the reference sample quantity (here: 20 pcs) v >2 sec. 14.
Weighing in Percent Purpose This application program allows you to obtain weight readouts in percent which are in proportion to a reference weight.
Example Determine an unknown percentage; store the weight on the balance/scale as a reference percentage Settings (changes in the factory settings required for this example): Menu: Application program: Weighing in percent (menu code 2. 1. 5) Menu: Reference percentage 100 % (menu code 3. 3. 5) Step Key (or instruction) Display/Printout 11. Turn on the balance/scale e 12. Tare the balance/scale t 13. Display the reference percentage v > 2 sec. 14.
Weigh Averaging Purpose Use this program to determine weights under unstable ambient conditions. In this program, the balance/scale calculates the weight as the average value from a defined number of individual weighing operations. These weighing operations are also known as “subweighing operations” or “subweighs.
Example Determine the weight of a sample in extremely unstable ambient conditions by calculating the average of 10 subweighing operations. Settings (changes in the factory settings required for this example): Menu: Application program: Weigh Averaging (menu code 2. 1.12) Step Key (or instruction) Display/Printout 1. Turn on the balance/scale e 2. Tare the balance/scale t 3. Display the number of subweighs (here: 10) v >2 sec. 4.
Net-Total Formulation/Second Tare Memory With this application program you can weigh in components for formulation of a mixture. Preparation Configure the Net-Total Formulation/Second Tare Memory application in the operating menu: See “Configuring the Balance/Scale” Menu code 2.1.3 Example Step Key (or instruction) Display/Printout 1. Turn on the balance/scale e 2. Place an empty container on the balance/scale 3. Tare the balance/scale + 120,5 g v 6. Add the next component 7.
Toggle Between Weight Units With this application program you can toggle the display of a weight value back and forth between two weight units. Configure the “Toggle Weight Units” application in the operating menu: See “Configuring the Balance/Scale,” menu code 2.1. 2 Toggle weight units (Factory setting on Gemlite models) Menu code 1. 7. 1 3. 1. 1 1. 7. 2 o 1. 7. 3 1) 1. 7. 4 2) 1. 7. 5 1. 7. 6 1. 7. 7 1. 7. 8 1. 7. 9 1. 7. 10 1. 7. 11 1. 7. 12 1. 7. 13 1. 7. 14 1. 7. 15 1. 7. 16 1. 7. 17 1. 7. 18 1. 7.
Configuring the Balance/Scale Setting the Parameters (Menu Codes) You can configure your Basiclite balance or Gemlite scale to meet individual requirements by selecting from the parameters available in the menu. Example: Adapt the balance/scale to unstable ambient conditions: Menu code 1 1 4 Step Key (or instruction) Display 1. Turn off the balance/scale e 2. Turn the balance/scale back on; while all segments are displayed: e t briefly 1.

Error Codes Error codes are shown on the main display for approx. 2 seconds, after which the program automatically returns to the weighing mode. Display No segments appear on the display Cause No AC power is available The AC adapter is not plugged in Battery is dead h The load exceeds the balance/scale capacity The weighing pan is not in place Something is touching the weighing pan Display capacity exceeded: Value to be output cannot be shown on the display Calibration parameter requirement not met; e.g.
Care and Maintenance Service Regular servicing by a Sartorius technician will extend the service life of your balance/scale and ensure its continued weighing accuracy. Sartorius can offer you service contracts, with your choice of regular maintenance intervals ranging from 1 month to 2 years. The frequency of the maintenance intervals depends on the user’s operating conditions and the tolerance limits. Repairs Repair work must be performed by trained service technicians.
Safety Inspection If there is any indication that safe operation of the balance/scale 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 the time being Safe operation of the balance/scale 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 rel
