Standard you use, please contact your Sartorius dealer. Important Note Only use original Sartorius power supplies identified by the Sar- torius label. Use of power supplies made by other manufactur- ers, even if these power supplies have a registered approval rating from a national testing laboratory, requires the consent of a certified Sartorius technician.
Voltage Selection You can select the voltage only if you use our portable power supply (69 70903) that has a European-type plug (rounded prongs). Safety Precautions The power supply rated to Class 2 (double insulated) can be plugged into a wall outlet without taking any additional safety precautions.
How to Operate the Balance General Directions for Working with the Balance Before you start weighing, please observe the following: After plugging your balance into a wall outlet using the power supply, make sure to allow for at least 2 hours' warmup. Working with a microbalance requires a steady hand and a smooth, uninterrupted technique.
Weight Display The weight display shows the following special messages for your information: BUSY The balance processor is still busy processing a function and will not accept any other commands to perform functions at this time. STANDBY The display has been turned off with the ON/OFF key (8) and the balance is now in the ready-to-operate mode so that it does not require warmup.
Weighing Filters on the M3P-000V001 The M3P-000V001 filter microbalance comes with Standard fil- ter weighing pans with an effective diameter of 73 and 105 mm (2.9" and 4.1"), respectively, which can be used as loading space.
Taring If you wish to use a Container or if the weight display does not indicate 0.000 mg, press the tare control to zero the display. Weighing with a Tare Container* The balance has built-in motorized Substitution weights (tare weights) for application of about 750 mg or 1,500 mg (accuracy approx.
Important Note The electronic weighing range is 1,500 mg. Press the key labeled again to return to the normal weigh- ing range from the one expanded by tare weight compensation. Both LEDs next to the symbols " ~ 750 mg" and " ~ 1500 mg"...
Calibration Unload the pan and dose the weighing chamber. lf necessary, re level the balance using the level indicator as a guide. Internal Calibration: The internal calibration weight conforms to accuracy class E the International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML). Select the weighing range of 0 to 1500 mg (both LEDs next to the Symbols "...
External Calibration: Unload the weighing pan. Select the 0 to 1500 mg weighing range (both LEDs next to the Symbols " ~ 750 mg" and " ~ 1500 mg" go out). As soon as you obtain a zero readout, press the tare control (12) for at least 3 seconds until the calibration weight readout appears in the weight display (14).
Balance Operating Program The balance operating program lets you adapt your balance to various ambient conditions and application requirements. At the factory, we have set the codes for a Standard program which is protected by a locking function to prevent accidental changes.

After you have accessed the menu of the operating program, the display will show a continuous sequence of numbers from 0- 5 for the "page" or first digit of the code, in addition to the Status code letter "L' or "C". When the first digit of the code you wish to check or change ap- pears, press the fare control (12).

Transporting the Balance To transport the balance, the weighing system must be arrested as described in the following. Transport Arrestment Before you unplug the balance from the power supply, turn off the balance using the ON/OFF key (8). The LEDs next to the symbols "...
Lock the equipment in a secure place to ensure that it cannot be used for the time being. In this case, notify the Sartorius Technical Services Dept. or Di- vision. Only certified Sartorius service technicians who have the proper manuals are allowed to perform maintenance and repair work on the balance.
Interface See the "Interface Description for Sartorius Balances and Scales" enclosed. Interfacing Devices with the Balance (RS Interface) Make sure that the interface port is electrically connected to the protective grounding conductor of the balance housing. The ca- bling supplied as accessory components is shielded and electri- cally connected on both ends to the cases of the connectors.
