5 Equipment Supplied. Do not miss out on the benefits of our warranty. Please fill out the warranty card, indicating the date of installation, and return the card to your Sartorius dealer. Carefully unpack the scale and the accessory components. Save all packing material for future use. The equipment supplied comprises the components shown on the left: - Scale - Dust cover - AG adapter - Weighing pan lf you wish to send in your scale for repair work, please proceed as follows: - remove all splashes or spills of paint - include a description of the equipment failures/faults. This will save you time and unnecessary expense for servicing. Please replace the cardboard between the scale base and the weighing pan (1) to prevent damage to the weighing system during shipment. 5

6 Installation Instructions. Your Sartorius Scale provides exact readouts even under less than ideal conditions. However, exposure to extreme heat, vibrations or drafts may adversely affect the weighing accuracy and should be avoided whenever possible. The scale can be adapted to your particular requirements and to the specific ambient conditions simply by changing the menu code settings in the scale operating program. Please contact your dealer for assistance. After you have plugged your scale into the AC adapter and turned it on, allow for at least 30 minutes warmup. Once the scale has been warmed up, the STANDBY feature will enable you to skip the warmup procedure. Important Note Make sure to unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet before you connect or disconnect additional devices (printer or PC) to or from the interface connector (Option). Startup. Remove the white backing from the adhesive disks on the dust cover. Attach the dust cover to the scale base by slightly pressing down on the adhesive disks. Mount the weighing pan (1) on the scale. Double-check to be sure that the base dust cover does not come in contact with the weighing pan. Your scale is powered by an AC adapter. Check that the voltage rating printed on this unit is identical to your local line voltage. Plug the line cord of the adapter into the power receptacle of the scale. Now plug the AC adapter into an electrical or wall outlet. Whenever possible, avoid connecting your scale to overloaded networks (compressors or similar equipment). lf you have problems with your local line power supply, use a suitable voltage stabilizer or an emergency power supply unit (Option). Be sure to contact your dealer for technical information. 6

7 Operation. Press the ON/OFF key (10) to turn the scale on or off. The display will go out whenever you turn off the scale. All other circuits will remain energized (STAND-BY state). This means the scale is immediately ready to operate without requiring warmup the next time you switch it on. Important Note To use the STANDBY feature, the scale must have been plugged into the AC adapter for at least 30 minutes (initial warmup). After the scale is turned on, an automatic self-test of the scale's electronic circuitry is performed. This self-test ends with the readout 0.0 g. Any other readout indicates an error. In this case, please contact your dealer, describing exactly what the display reads 7

8 lf you wish to use a Container or if the weight display does not indicate 0.00 g (or the equivalent with the weight unit of your choice), press the tare control to zero the display. Important Note The small circle in the lower left-hand corner shows that the scale has been exactly tared so the display reads "0." Do not wait to replace worn dust covers. Make sure that paint spills over the sides of the housing do not harden, making the pan stick to the base. Frequent cleaning with solvents (such as paint thinner) will warp the dust cover which may then push against the pan, causing the readout to drift. 8

9 Examples for Paint Mixing. 1 st Example Mix paint components with hardener (35% of the total weight of the paint quantity) and 20% thinner. The 20% thinner is in proportion to the total weight of the paint components and hardener. Place an empty container on the scale and tare Weigh in the 1 st paint component according to your formula and then store it - press the key (4) weigh in the 2 nd paint component according to your formula and then store it - press the key (4) You can repeat this procedure as many times as the number of paint components you have available. 9

10 You can obtain a display of the total net weight of the paint components by pressing the key (9) To store the total net weight as 100 % press the key (5) The decimal place will automatically disappear once the total weight is stored as 100 % or "E" will be displayed if the paint components are too light for the particular shade of paint. If "E" is displayed, press the RECALL WEIGHT key and increase the minimum amount of the individual paint components. Add 35% hardener To display the momentary weight (paint components + hardener) press the key (11) To store the total weight- press the key (9) 10

11 Again, to store the total weight as 100 % press the key (5) Add 20% thinner Important Note: Make sure that the 20% thinner is in proportion to the total weight of the paint components and to the hardener. to display the update total weight (paint components + hardener + thinner) press the key (11) The key (9) deletes the stored factor for calculation the percentages.. 11

12 2 nd Example Mix paint components with 13.5% hardener and 6.5% thinner. These percentages are in proportion to the total weight of the paint quantity (1 st paint component + 2nd component = 100%). ^Place empty container on the scale and tare. To weigh in the paint components according to your formula and store them, see "1 st Example" on page 9. Display the total net weight of the paint components by pressing the key (9) 12

13 To store the total net weight as 100 % - press the key (5) The decimal place will automatically disappear once the total weight is stored as 100 % or "E" will be displayed if the paint components are too light for the particular shade of paint. lf "E" is displayed, press the RECALL WEIGHT key and increase the minimum amount of the individual paint components.. To store the amount as 100% press the - key (4) Add 13.5% hardener 13

14 To add and store the updated total weight, press the key (4) Add 6,5% thinner If you wish to weight in additional components, proceed as described for the hardener and the dinner. Display the total net weight in percent by pressing the key (9) To display the total net weight in the particular weight unit selected (in this case g ) press the key (11) The key (9) deletes the stored factor for calculating the percentages. 14

15 Calibration. Have your scale checked and recalibrated, if necessary, by your dealer on the basis of a regular maintenance schedule. lf you have an accurate calibration weight (5,000 g ± 0.03 g; see Sartorius "Accessories" on page 17), proceed as follows: Remove the protective cap located on the front right of your scale and slide the access switch (6) in the direction of the arrow. Turn off the scale, hold down the TINTER/ADDITIVE key (4) and briefly press the ON/OFF key (10). Upon the completion of the self-test release TINTER/ADDITIVE key when "C" is displayed. Unload the scale and tare. Press the TINTER/ADDITIVE key (4) when the display reads zero. "CAL" and the calibration weight readout will now be displayed. 15

16 Centre the calibration weight on the weighing pan. Now the weight unit symbol is displayed. lt indicates the end of the calibration procedure. Relock the calibration access function by sliding the access switch back to its original setting, and replace the protective cap. After calibration, use the ON/OFF key (10) to turn the scale off and then on again. Even if you do not calibrate your scale, this will not affect the accuracy of the mixing ratio so you will always obtain the correct shade of paint, provided you weigh in the components correctly. However, the overall amount of your paint formula may slightly vary. 16
