Operating Limits - Sartorius IS...-X Series Operating Instructions Manual

Operating Limits

Overload Capacity
Thanks to the rugged construction of
Sartorius Intec weighing platforms, the
weighing system will not be damaged
if the maximum weighing capacity is
occasionally exceeded.
The table below lists the maximum
overload capacity of each weighing
platform model:
IS06BBE-SX.. IS2CCE-SX.. IS6CCE-SX..
IS6CCE-HX..
3 kg 12 kg 25 kg
IS16EDE-HX IS150IGG-HX,
IS34EDE-HX IS300IGG-HX
IS64EDE-SX
130 kg 600 kg
Shock Resistance
Even though Sartorius Intec weighing
platforms feature highly rugged
construction, there are some limits.
Avoid exposing the system to falling
objects, side impact, or shocks. The
weighing platform meets the mechanical
requirements of IEC 68 Part 2-27.
Notes on Integration into Conveyor
Systems
The weighing platform is suitable for
installation in conveyor systems. Make
sure to observe the following notes as
well as the equipment dimensions when
choosing components to be mounted
on your weighing platform
(see „Dimensions (Scale Drawings)" in
this manual).
Any moving or rotating parts intended
to be permanently attached to the load
plate must be designed so that they
cannot affect the weighing results. For
example, rotating mechanisms must be
properly balanced.
The load plate must be clear on all
sides so that any parts or any dirt
that falls will not create a connection
between the weighing platform and
any permanently mounted preload
components.
Any cables or tubing between the
weighing platform and other equipment
must not apply any force to the
weighing platform. Make sure that
cables do not touch the load plate.
Special care must be taken to prevent
the build-up of static electricity
caused by moving parts (such as roller
conveyors).
Preload Range (Zero-setting Range)
The weight of components permanently
attached to the weighing platform is
known as the „preload." The preload
is electronically compensated up
to a defined value. Thus the entire
weighing capacity is available, and it
is possible to zero or calibrate/adjust
the weighing system (with external
weights). A preload heavier than the
defined value may result in a reduction
of the weighing capacity.
The maximum preload that can
be compensated depends on the
specification block configured (refer
to the tables of specifications below).
Components attached to the weighing
platform must be installed before the
weighing platform is connected to
power.
Configuring the Weighing Platform
The weighing platform can be
configured to meet individual
requirements, such as weighing in
international units, weighing in
unfavorable ambient conditions,
or external electronic processing
of weight values. This means the
final configuration of a unit can be
performed by the weighing equipment
dealer or the end user.
The weighing platform is adapted
for individual requirements using the
configuration menu in the connected
display and control unit or indicator.
The weighing platform can also be
configured using a connected
computer running the Sartorius Intec
configuration program
(see „Accessories").
Options Available for
Weighing Range Configuration
SuperRange
This range divides the weighing
capacity of the platform into 50.000
intervals, an exceptionally high
resolution. The readability is identical
over the entire weighing range
(for example, 1 g).
Operating Limits
SingleRange
The weighing range is divided into up
to 50.000 intervals. The readability is
identical over the entire weighing range
( for example, 10 g).
Multi-interval/DualRange
Intervals with adjusted
accuracy. These functions divide the
weighing capacity into as many 3
weighing ranges, each with a different
readability.
The weight readout is shown with
different levels of accuracy in each
range. The platform changes from one
range to another automatically when
the load on the platform is changed
(the readability in each range is listed in
the tables of specifications below).
Once the platform has been tared, the
highest possible resolution is available
even if the weighing platform is loaded.
The configuration options available
for each weighing platform are listed
below, in the section entitled „Tables of
Specifications."
