Alibi Memory - Sartorius Cubis MSU116P User Manual

Alibi Memory

The alibi memory contains (stores) weighing results with date, time, and process
number. This takes place every time a print job is requested [e. g., by pressing
P]. Tare and input values are also saved. The alibi memory can therefore
Print
be used as a replacement for a log printer.
The data memory has a ring buffer, meaning that the oldest data records can
be overwritten by new ones. The user can define a memory-time dependent
overwrite protection as well a storage period. Standard: 90 days, see Section
"Device Parameters." The alibi memory can contain approximately 450,000 data
records; storage capacity depends on the size of each data record.
The alibi memory is verifiable. When the balance is calibrated, you must check that
the alibi memory is correctly functioning by saving some values.
If the alibi memory is being used in legal metrology (according to Council Directive
2014/31/EU), the following must be observed:
– Make sure that there is sufficient storage capacity. Responsibility for this lies
with the operator.
– The weighing results should be stored together with a unique ID code (e. g.,
number or date and time). This makes it possible for every weighing opera-
tion or weighing result to be easily assigned and verified if necessary. These ID
codes must be indicated on any receipts generated on peripheral devices.
– All the required tare and net values will be saved during data output.
– It must be possible for the contractual partners involved to be able to check
and verify the stored weighing results.
– Any continuously output weighing results that have not previously been stored
and have no identification codes may only be used for applications that are not
used in legal metrology
(e. g., batching, controlling, or similar). It is not permissible to circulate any
results lacking identification codes for applications used in legal metrology.
– Receipts can be prepared by a peripheral device not subject to legal verifica-
tion in accordance with the preamble to Annex I of Directive 2014/31/EU and
Section 7b (3) 2 of the German Verification Act.
These receipts must contain the following information:
– ID code for every weighing result,
– if used in Germany, a note stating that the weighing results can be com-
pared with the legally stored weighing results using their identification
codes.
You must first install and activate the alibi memory in order to use it (see Device
Parameters > Alibi Memory Configuration).
