Reset write-protect After working with the Sartorius Service Software, always make sure to conclude with the „Close“ function (returning the balance from BPI back to SBI mode), otherwise write-protect is not set, and the balance/scale remains in the BPI mode (see Page 25). If all else fails, reset the SBI mode by selecting menu reset (9-1°).

Activating the BPI Mode BPI-Button Anschluss Note: The BPI mode must be activated in the balance/scale before you can work with the service software. You need to use this software, for example, to adjust the linearity and/or span after adjusting the zero-point offset value, or after replacing a PCB.
Page 27
The equipment is now connected as follows: – The balance/scale has a 25-pin RS-232 interface for the service software – There is a power supply to the balance/scale (beside the battery, if one is installed) so that the BPI mode can be activated. –...
Calibrate/adjust the balance/scale on this place. Note: Testing must be carried out according to the following Sartorius Standard Operating Procedure for Testing WKD-037-02 and WKD-038-02. They are also equivalent to the given adjustment data as described in this service manual.
Checking and Adjustment Sequence Checking the Overload Stop Note: Overload stops must be checked only following replacement of the strain- gauge system. The overload stop must be reset after the strain-gauge load receptor has been damaged or replaced. Weight readouts greater than the balance/scale’s maximum capacity must be read off.
Checking the Overload Stop Note: Overload stops must be checked following replacement of the strain-gauge system. – Open the balance/scale (see page 48) and connect the balance/scale to power. - Balances/scales with rectangular weighing pan/load plate: see illustration on the left (model TE6101 shown in this example). –...
Zero-point Offset Value The zero-point offset value adjustment is necessary for adapting the bridge voltage of the strain-gauge load receptor to the operating range of the balance/scale electronics. This may be necessary: – after replacing the strain-gauge system – after replacing the main PCB –...
Repeatability (Standard Deviation) Checking the Repeatability (Standard deviation „S“) - Refer to the service specifications (see pages 53-54) for the required test weight. - Unload the weighing pan/load plate and press t to zero the balance/scale. - Center the test weight on the weighing pan/load plate. - Write down the displayed value.
Off-center Error Checking the Off-center Error – Center the test weight (see „Service Specifications,“ page 53-54) on the weighing pan/load plate (Pos. 1) and zero the balance/scale by pressing t. The readout shows 0.0g (depending on model and settings). – Place the test weight in Positions 2, 3, 4 and 5 in turn. –...
Page 36
Span Adjustment Note: There are two methods for adjusting the span: 1. Using the service software 2. As described in the following: – Select menu item 1 5 1, „Calibration/adjustment: Accessible“ in the operating menu (factory setting). Make sure the menu access switch is open (see page 19).
Page 37
Adjusting Linearity Checking the Linearity Note: The linearity must be checked according to the Standard Operating Procedure WKD-038. - Check the linearity of the balance/scale for the entire weighing range in 4-g steps. - Compare the values displayed with the tolerance ranges given in the „Table of Calibration/Adjustment Data“...

Page 39
Repeatability (Standard deviation) Checking the Repeatability (Standard deviation „S“) - Select the test weight from the „Adjustment Datasheet (see Page 53-54). - Unload the weighing pan and zero the balance/scale using the t key. - Center the test weight on the weighing pan. - Write down the weight displayed.
Page 40
Off-center Error Caution: Larger errors in the off-center loading error affect the repeatability of the weighing system! The OIML Guideline R76-1 describes the tests for off-center loading tolerances for square, round and even triangular weighing pans. Therefore, the test weight should be placed on every 1/4 of the weighing pan surface. The positions for placing test weights in triangular weighing pans are indicated in the figures to the left.
Checking the Off-Center Error Note: The data for the test weight and the tolerance are listed in the „Adjustment Datasheet (see Page 53-54). CP Balances/Scales with Draft Shields and Triangular Weighing Pans Models: TE64; TE124S; TE214S;TE313S; TE313S-DS; GD103; GD603; - Place the test weight on position 1 on the weighing pan and zero the balance/scale by pressing the t key.
Adjusting the Off-Center Error Note: Following adjustment of the off-center loading error, the span and linearity must be tested and, if necessary, adjusted. Procedure for Adjusting the Off-Center Loading Error (Double-Lever System with Adjustment Screws (P)) Use a 3-point measurement to determine the off-center loading error. The off-center loading error of the balance is indicated by the results of the 3-point measurement.
Page 43
3-point Measurement – Place the off-center load test weight in Position A on the weighing pan/ load plate and press t to tare. – Place the test weight in Positions B and C and record the value displayed at stability in each case. Press t –...
Page 44
Procedure for Adjusting the Off-Center Error (Double Lever System) Note: After calibration/adjustment of the off-center loading error, you must check the span and linearity and adjust as required. On models TE64;TE124S;TE214S;TE313S;TE313S-DS; GD103;GD603; (see upper illustration on the left) TE3102S (see lower illustration on the left) the off-center loading error should be adjusted by careful filing at appropriately thin places on the upper guide.

Replacing the PCB In the case of defects, do not attempt to make any repairs at the component level, but replace the entire subassembly. Note: Before replacing the main PCB, use the service software to read out and store the balance/scale’s data record, if possible. If this is not possible, order a pre-programmed PCB, indicating the balance/ scale model and serial number.
Page 50
– Then check the data output port for correct functioning. If possible, test the port with the following devices: – Sartorius printer, e.g., model YDP03-OCE – Service software (such as „SBI-Test“) – Data capture software for PCs and laptops, such as „Balance Reader“...
