With this Sartorius balance, you have acquired a high-quality electronic weighing instrument that will ease your daily workload. Please read through these installation and operating instructions carefully before operating your new balance. In the first part of these installation and operating instructions, it is assumed that you are using the factoryset menu codes. Warranty Do not miss out on the benefits of our full warranty.
Installation Instructions Ambient Conditions Your Sartorius balance will provide accurate readouts even when it is exposed to unfavorable conditions. Please choose a suitable place to set up your balance. It should not be exposed to the following: – extreme heat radiation – drafts – extreme vibrations – aggressive chemical atmospheres The balance may not be used in hazardous areas/locations where there is danger of explosion. Do not expose the balance to extreme moisture over long periods.
Using Verified Balances as Legal Measuring Instruments in the EU* You must calibrate the balance at the place of installation before using it as a legal measuring instrument (see the section entitled “Adjustment/ Calibration” starting on page 1–19). This balance is not allowed to be used for weighing goods intended for direct sale to the public.
Getting Started Important Note Concerning All Verified Balances Approved for Use as Legal Measuring Instruments in the EU Provided that an official seal is required for the verified balance, a control seal is affixed to the balance. Unauthorized attempts to remove this seal will irreversibly damage it. If you break the seal, the validity of the verification will become void, and you must have your balance re-verified.
Preparing the LC Series Balance with a Rectangular Pan and a Capacity Less Than 12 kg Remove the white backing from the adhesive strips on the dust cover. Attach the dust cover to the base of the balance by gently pressing down on the adhesive strips. Place the pan draft shield (28) (depending on the model) and the weighing pan (1) on the balance. Important Note: Double check to make sure that the base dust cover does not touch the weighing pan.
Plug the cord of the AC adapter into the balance. Then insert the plug of the AC adapter in a wall outlet. Follow this procedure for the following balances: AC and LC series balances with a capacity less than 12 kg LC series balances with a capacity greater than 12 kg: Insert the right-angle plug in the power receptacle (19) as shown, then tighten the slotted screw with a screwdriver. Now plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet.
Information on Radio Frequency Interference ! Warning! This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause interference to radio communications. It has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference, when operated in a commercial environment.
Leveling the Balance Using the Level Indicator At the point of use, level the balance using the leveling feet (21) as follows so that the air bubble is centered within the circle of the level indicator (17): Screw in the auxiliary foot (22) located on the front right-hand side of the balance. To level the balance using the level indicator as a guide: Extend the leveling feet (turn clockwise) to lift the balance. Retract the feet (turn counterclockwise) to lower the balance.
Operating the Balance Warmup Time After initially connecting the balance to AC power (or after a relatively long power outage), the balance will need to warm up for at least 30 minutes. Turning the Display On and Off (Standby Mode) Press the e key (14) to turn the display on and off. Self-Test After the balance has been turned on, an automatic self-test of the electronic circuitry will be performed. The self-test ends with a zero readout; the balance is then ready to operate.
The weight display shows the following special codes for your information: OFF The balance was disconnected from AC power (i.e., power failure or outage; the balance was disconntected, then reconnected to AC power). O (STANDBY) The display has been turned off using the e key (14), and the balance is now in the ready-to-operate mode and does not require warmup. b (BUSY) Once you have turned on the balance, the b symbol will remain displayed until you press a key.
Taring A weight can be accurately measured only from a defined zero point. Press one of the two t keys (10) to zero the display. You can tare the display within the entire weighing range. Important Note Concerning Verified Balances/Scales Approved for Use as Legal Measuring Instruments in the EU: The small circle on the left in the weight display shows that the balance/scale has been exactly tared to “0” (±0.25 of a scale interval). Weighing Place your sample on the weighing pan (1) to determine the weight.
Weighing Range Structure 6200g 0.01g SuperRange (identified by S in the model designation AC/LC.....S) “Single wide-range balance” SuperRange models have an extraordinarily high resolution; i.e., the weighing range has a resolution ranging from 100,000 to a few million digits. There is one level of fine readability for the entire weighing range (for example: 0.01 g). 3200g 0.1g DualRange (identified by D in the model designation LC.....D) 2 weighing ranges: a fine range and a standard range 1000g 0.
Weighing in the IQ-Mode* (Load-Dependent Readability) In the IQ-mode, weighing is done with a loaddependent readability of 0.1% (for different settings, see part 2, “Balance Operating Menu”) throughout the entire weighing range of the balance. The display resolution of the last digit changes in increments of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, etc., in proportion to the weight of a sample. Oftentimes, a display accuracy of 2 grams is sufficient for a load of approx. 2 kg.
Adjustment/Calibration During calibration1), the balance is adapted to changes in ambient conditions. You should recalibrate your balance each time you set it up in a different area or when the ambient conditions (such as the temperature or the barometric pressure) have changed. Independent of such changes, you should calibrate balances acceptable for legal metrological verification at least once a day (i.e., even when the ambient conditions remain constant).
The balance may or may not have an internal calibration weight: – On standard balances, it depends on the model (see Part 6, “Specifications”) – Verified balances generally have an internal calibration weight Using Verified Balances/Scales 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 the warmup period.
INTERNAL CALIBRATION Quick-CAL Function Using the f Key: Unload the pan and tare. Once the display indicates a zero readout, press the f key (7). “C” will now be displayed. The built-in calibration weight is internally applied by servomotor and removed at the end of calibration. If external interference affects the calibration procedure, you may obtain a brief display of the error message “Err 02.” In this case, tare the display; then press the f key again once a zero readout is indicated.
EXTERNAL CALIBRATION* Use only calibration weights with the same or better accuracy than that of the readability of your particular balance.
Center the calibration weight on the weighing pan. An acoustic signal will indicate the end of the calibration process. Important Note for Accuracy Class K Verified Balances/Scales Approved for Use as Legal Measuring Instruments in the EU: After verification, the “external calibration” function is blocked by the access switch (5) (adjusted to the left and secured against alteration of the switch setting).
Unload the balance and tare. “C– t” stands for “calibration sensitivity test.” Once the display indicates a zero readout, press the f key (7). The built-in calibration weight will now be internally applied by servomotor. Then the deviation of the current readout from the target weight (displayed in grams only) will be indicated. If external interference affects the calibration test, you may obtain a brief display of the error message “Err 02.
Data Interface If you wish to record your weighing results using a Sartorius Data Printer, plug the printer connector into the interface port (20) of the balance. You do not need to adjust any settings. Important Note for Balance/Scale Models Verified for Use as Legal Measuring Instruments: When using the balance/scale as a legal measuring instrument (legal for trade), you are allowed to connect to it only peripherals authorized by law.
Interfacing Devices with the Balance Please note that the interface port is electrically connected to the protective grounding conductor of the balance housing. The interface cables supplied as standard equipment are shielded, and both ends of each cable are electrically connected to the connector cases. This connection may result in interference caused by ground loops or by transient currents if you have grounded the housing or connected the protective grounding conductor for line power.
Below-Balance Weighing A port for a below-balance weighing hanger is located on the bottom of the balance (for LC balances with a capacity greater than 12 kg, see “Accessories” in Part 6). To fasten the hanger, open the below-balance port by turning the cover plate. Now you can attach a sample to the hook using a suspension wire, for example. Common applications for below-balance weighing include density determination or immersing a sample in a special atmosphere (medium for reaction).

Care and Maintenance Servicing Regular servicing by a Sartorius service technician will extend the service life of your balance and insure its continued weighing accuracy. Sartorius can offer you service contracts with your choice of regular maintenance intervals ranging from 1 month to 2 years. Cleaning Before cleaning the balance, unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet (mains supply). Please do not use any aggressive cleaning agents (solvents or similar agents).
– for rectangular weighing pans with a capacity <12 kg Remove the following parts from the balance: – Weighing pan (1) – Pan draft shield (28) (depending on the model) Detach the dust cover by peeling it off at the adhesive strips. Remove all traces of adhesive. Then remove the white backing from the adhesive strips on the new dust cover. Attach the dust cover by gently pressing down on the adhesive strips.

Balance Operating Menu This Sartorius balance can do much more than “just weigh.” It can “think” in various units of measure, adapt to unfavorable conditions and process weight data for a variety of applications. In the operating menu, you can define how your balance will adapt to ambient conditions, and also how it will work to meet your special requirements. For your convenience, the menu codes have been factory-set so that you normally do not have to make any changes.
Changing a Menu Code Setting To select specific functions, you will need to set the respective menu code. There are three steps to changing a code setting: – Accessing the menu – Setting a code – Confirming and storing the code The keys have special functions for setting a menu code.
Press the f key to change the left-hand number to “3” – Press the p key to move to the middle number – Now move from “1” to the right-hand number (When you move to the right-hand number, the previously set numeric code will be indicated). – Press the f key to change the right-hand number to “3” – Press “TARE” to confirm the code setting Important Note: You must press the tare key in order to confirm the code you have just set. This is indicated by the “o” after the code.
Important Note for Standard Balances: Please do not forget to relock the balance operating menu. The “-L-” indicates that it is currently locked: You can lock the menu anytime you wish once you have accessed it. However, it is best if you wait until you have changed the last code setting. To use the locking function, make sure code 8 1 2 is set in the balance operating menu. If code 8 1 1 is set, the menu access switch will not lock.
Balance Operating Parameters Adapting the Balance to Ambient Conditions To adapt your balance to ambient conditions, you may need to change the response time (see “Product Data Sheets”). Very stable conditions Stable conditions Unstable conditions Very unstable conditions Code * 1 1 * 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 3 4 Standard Weighing Mode – Manual Filling Mode You can optimally adapt your balance to meet either of these requirements.
Stability Symbol Delay This setting allows your balance to compensate for individual interfering factors which slowly subside, such as turbulent air currents generated within the weighing chamber of an analytical balance. You can therefore choose to have the stability symbol displayed later.
Weighing in Three Ranges on Standard Balances The toggle key, labeled w, lets you switch back and forth between two weighing ranges, R1 and R2, provided you are using the factory-set menu code. When the menu code for “three ranges” is set, press the w key each time to select a different range.

Display Modes on Standard Balances You can select the display mode that best meets your individual requirements. The factory-set menu code is defined for the highest possible accuracy in the 1st weighing range. The menu code settings for all weighing ranges are listed on the next page. Final Readout Mode If you are interested in the final readout only, you can select this mode by setting code 2 5 1.
This mode for adapting the display accuracy enables you to weigh with a constant relative accuracy between 1% and 0.01% over the entire weighing range of your balance. Select the load-dependent display accuracy independently for each of the three weighing ranges. The accuracy selected is shown in the top right-hand corner of the application display field.
Display Modes on Verified Balances You can select the display mode that best meets your individual requirements. Final Readout Mode If you are interested in the final readout only, you can select this mode by setting code 2 5 1. A special symbol, “– –”, will be displayed in any weighing range until the final stable readout is indicated. For the standard readout mode, set code 2 5 2 (all readouts).
Calibration Functions on Standard Balances Select the appropriate menu code to define the access status for each of the following calibration functions, which are activated by holding down the tare key for a few seconds: – External calibration – Internal calibration – Sensitivity test C-E C-I C-t If the menu access switch is unlocked (“accessible” status indicated by -C- after you have accessed the balance operating menu), the “external calibration” function will be accessible even though you have set th
Calibration Functions on Verified Balances/Scales Select the appropriate menu code to define the access status for each of the following calibration functions, which are activated by holding down the tare control for a few seconds: – External calibration – Internal calibration – Sensitivity test C-E C-I C-t External Calibration Use the access switch to block or release the external calibration function.
Utilities for Printouts or Data Transfer Sartorius balances come standard with an interface. You can plug a Sartorius printer or a computer into this interface port to print data on hard copy or have them transferred to your computer. Moreover, you can choose to output data from your balance to this on-line device either automatically or by pressing the print key on the balance. The balance operating menu lets you define the various parameters for data output.
Data Output at Defined Intervals You can reduce the volume of data in the “auto print” mode by defining the interval at which data will be output automatically. This auto print interval is based on the number of display updates.
Data ID Codes To help you identify weights, piece counts, percentages, etc., a code letter is printed 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 the code for “without data ID code,” only net weights, results in percent and counting results will be output. You will find the data ID codes of a particular application program listed in the corresponding description.
Additional Functions A number of additional menu codes enable you to assign or deny access to various functions. Menu Access Function on Standard Balances You can define the function of the menu access switch on standard balances by setting the code for the balance operating menu to “accessible.
Universal Switch for Remote Control You can connect an external universal switch to the interface of your balance for remote control of certain functions (listed below). Set the appropriate menu code to define the function of this switch. Functions Print Tare f key F key Code * 8 4 8 4 8 4 8 4 1 2 3 4 Analog Display: Bar Graph/Marker In the factory setting, the analog display works as a bar graph. By changing the menu code, you can turn the analog display completely off or have it appear as a marker.
In the setting “toggle between on and standby,” the balance power will turn back on automatically after a power failure has occurred or after you have disconnected your balance temporarily from AC power. In the setting “automatic power-on,” the balance will turn back on automatically after a power failure has occurred; after the balance has been disconnected, then reconnected to AC power; or after the e key has been pressed. In this setting, the balance can no longer be turned off using the e key.
“isoCAL” Self-Calibrating Function* on AC/LC…-00MS/-0CEMS Models Range of Performance Features The AC/LC…-00MS/-0CEMS models have standard features which are not offered by other balances and scales of the product line: – Built-in servomotor for application of the internal calibration weight(s) – Self-calibrating function – “isoCAL” – ISO/GLP-compliant printout/record – Integrated Applications Computer “IAC” for the application programs: tare memory; formulation; statistics; weighing in percent; counting; c
“isoCAL” Self-Calibrating Function A balance of the Master Series can self-calibrate.
Important Note for Verified Balances/Scales Approved as Legal Measuring Instruments (…-0CEMS): If “C” is indicated in the display or “STAT C” is output via the interface, the balance/scale must not be loaded. The balance/scale initiates self-calibration 15 seconds after “C” is indicated in the display. Changing loads during these 15 seconds will interrupt the internal preparation cycle for calibration.
Automated Processes Delays in production may occur when the “isoCAL” function is used in automated processes. You can avoid such delays by setting menu code 1 15 2 “Calibration symbol “W” in the display only.” In this case, you have to press the key to activate calibration.
Application Programs for Balances of the Product Line In addition to the functions implemented strictly for weighing, Sartorius balances of the MC1 product line offer you a variety of application programs to handle tough daily routine work in the laboratory as well as in industrial plants. If you have not yet experienced how fast and accurately a Sartorius balance can count parts or convert weights into percentages, now is a good opportunity to try it out.
To select an application program or a specific function, set the appropriate code in the menu. Part 2 describes in detail how to set menu codes. Additional settings for running the particular program and displaying or printing the data on hard copy are listed in a table of codes.
Information and Printouts or Data Transfer The info key (i) has two functions: – one brief press: – one long press: displays information and prints/transfers stored data recalls the reference percentage or reference sample quantity for weighing in percent or counting (for more information, see the descriptions of these programs) Briefly press the i key to select the information function: an “i” will appear in the display.
Tare Memory Press the f key (identified by “TAR” in the display) to store the tare weight. Symbol displayed when a value is stored: Net The balance will be tared automatically so you can weigh again starting with a zero readout.
Net Total Code 2 2 2 Press f (identified by “TAR” in the display) to store each component that you weigh-in. The balance is tared automatically each time you store a weight. Therefore, you can weigh-in the components one after the other starting with a zero readout.
Weighing in Percent % This application program enables you to obtain weight readouts in percent, which are based on a reference weight. The reference weight readout is stored as a menu-defined percentage (factory setting: 100%). To change this percentage, see the description on page 4–8. (The reference percentage will be displayed as long as the reference sample weight has not yet been stored.

Weighing in Percent with Additional Requirements Changing the Reference Percentage You can change the reference percentage to meet your individual requirements. The reference percentage setting will be displayed above the unit symbol after you press c. To select the change function: Hold down i for more than 2 seconds To change the setting: Use f identified by – ^ – If you enter a wrong number, press c to clear it.
Over/Under Checkweighing This program is used to check whether products are within a specific tolerance range, to sort and classify items, and to fill and batch products. Symbols are displayed above the bar graph as visual aids for this type of program: the equal sign indicates the target weight; the minus sign, the underweight limit; and the plus sign, the overweight limit. Within the tolerance range, the response sensitivity of the bar graph is increased. You can define the tolerance limits between 0.
Checking Net Weights – Weight Readout – Code 2 2 3 To store a weight readout as the target weight, press f. The target weight is indicated in the analog display as a bar graph. The last segment of this bar graph ends exactly below the equal sign of the checkweighing indication. If the weight of a product is “acceptable,” the last segment of the bar graph will be within the tolerance range of the checkweighing indication. You can also read the actual weight in digits.
Checking Variations in Weight – Readout in Percent – Code 2 2 4 and Code 2 1 5 To store a readout – displayed as a weight or a percent – as the target value, press f. The target value is indicated in the analog display as a bar graph. The last segment of this bar graph ends exactly below the equal sign of the checkweighing indication. If the weight of a product is “acceptable,” the last segment of the bar graph will be within the tolerance range of the checkweighing indication.
Over/Under Checkweighing with Additional Requirements Changing the Tolerance Limits You can change the over/under tolerances between 0.1% and 10%. Tolerance limits 0.1% over/under deviation from the target 0.2% over/under deviation from the target 0.5% over/under deviation from the target 1.0% over/under deviation from the target 1.5% over/under deviation from the target 2.0% over/under deviation from the target 2.5% over/under deviation from the target 3.0% over/under deviation from the target 5.
... Counting ... A weight readout is stored as a reference sample quantity (factory setting: 10 pcs). To change this value, see the description on page 4–14. (The reference sample quantity is displayed as long as the reference sample weight has not yet been stored for counting.) While counting (piece count readout), you can press F to update the reference sample for optimizing the accuracy (approx. double the reference sample quantity).
Counting with Additional Requirements Changing the Reference Sample Quantity You can change the reference sample quantity as required. The reference sample quantity will be displayed above the unit symbol after you press c. To select the change function: Hold down i for more than 2 seconds To change the setting: Use f identified by – ^ – If you enter a wrong number, press c to clear it. To store the ref.

The S command causes the processor to reinitialize (turns the balance off and back on again). The balance will operate according to the commands available up until the processor is reinitialized.
Control Commands with Lower-Case Letters All functions of the application programs that can be selected by pressing the respective keys on the balance can also be activated by commands.
Numeric Input (only on balances with a built-in IAC): ESC t x x . x . x . x . x . x . x _ CR LF x = Any number which may include a plus or minus sign; can have anywhere from 1 to 7 places . = Decimal point: “.” or “,” _ = Underline (ASCII = 95) The numeric value may not have more than 7 digits (excluding the decimal point). Each control command with the lower-case letters f, s, t and x must be terminated by an underline (ASCII = 95).
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 transmitted by the interface. For error-free data communication, the interface parameters including the baud rate, parity and handshake mode, as well as the character format, must be the same for both units.
If the device addressed does not understand the control command, the SBI receiving device continues to operate additionally with a hardware handshake after it has received another 6 characters. 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 to exchange data.
Activating a Data Output Process You can define the data output parameter so that output is activated when a print command is received, or is activated automatically. You have two options for the automatic mode: data output can be either synchronous with the balance display update or activated at defined intervals (to select the parameter, see “Utilities” in Part 2). Data Output by Print Command The print command can be transmitted by a software command or by pressing the print key.
Settings for the Interface Parameters Baud rate 150 baud 300 baud 600 baud 1,200 baud 2,400 baud 4,800 baud 9,600 baud 19,200 baud Code Changes 5 1 1 5 1 2 5 1 3 5 1 4 * 5 1 5 5 1 6 5 1 7 5 1 8 Parity Mark Space Odd Even Code 5 2 1 5 2 2 5 2 3 5 2 4 No.
Control Lines For classification or filling in the “over/under checkweighing” application program, you can use the voltage levels of four data output port lines to control an external on-line display or control instrument. The voltage levels of the data output ports will change according to various patterns, depending on the reference weight and on the lower and upper weight limits.
