Animal Weighing - Sartorius la series Operating Instructions Manual

Animal Weighing

C
Purpose
Use this program to determine the
weights of unstable samples (e.g.,
live animals) or to determine weights
under unstable ambient conditions.
In this program, the balance
calculates the weight as the average
of a defined number of individual
weighing operations. These
weighing operations are also known
as "subweighing operations."
You can use the "Animal Weighing"
application in combination with a
program chosen from Application 2
(checkweighing, time-controlled
functions) and one from Application
3 (totalizing, formulation, statistics) as
well as with the extra functions.
Available Features
– Animal weighing started manually
or automatically
– Automatic start:
– when a defined threshold has
been exceeded (Minimum
load threshold: 10; 20; ...;
500; 1,000 display
increments)
– when three successive sub-
weights lie within a user-defined
tolerance range (calm; normal;
active; 0.1%; 0.2%; ...; 50%;
100% of the animal/object)
– Manual start:
– also possible when the load
is under the minimum load
threshold
– when three successive sub-
weights lie within a user-defined
tolerance range (calm; normal;
active; 0.1.%; 0.2%; ...; 50%;
100% of the animal/object)
– Optional balance configuration in
the Setup menu for automatically
initializing this application
when you turn on the balance
– Number of weighing operations
for calculation of an average
( ) can be entered before
mDef
the beginning of each animal
weighing operation
– The factor for calculation
of the result can be entered before
the beginning of each animal
weighing operation
– The number of subweighs
remaining to be performed is
indicated in the text display
during weighing
– Arithmetic average displayed as
a result in the pre-set weight unit
(identified by the a symbol).
– Optional multiplication of the
arithmetic average by a user-
defined factor .
Mul
A circle " " is displayed as
o
weight unit and
Mul = xxx
is shown in the text line
– Toggling between the animal
weight and the calculated value
by pressing the soft key
xNet
and the soft key
xRes
– Automatic output of results via the
interface port:
– Number of weighing
operations
mDef
– Multiplication factor
Mul
– Automatic output of results
(printout) via the interface port:
– Weighing result
xNet
– Calculated result
xRes
The following options have to be
selected: Setup: Basic settings:
Printout configuration: Auto print
upon initialization: On, all values
– The unload threshold hold is equal
to one-half the minimum balance
capacity
– Return to weighing mode
by unloading the balance; i.e.,
when the load is below the
unload threshold
