Service Switches The Master balances are equipped with a service mode; in this mode, both the SETUP functions and the calibration/adjustment functions are expanded. Note: Open the access switch (B) to calibrate/adjust the balance in the service mode (with the PSION Server or SARTOCAS Service Program for PCs). Access Switch The access switch (B) and the BPI switch (A) are located under the cap on the raer panel of the balance, under a protective cap on the right side.
SARTORIUS Master Activating the Service Mode The LP balances are equipped with a service mode that enables expanded calibration/adjustment functions. With these expanded functions, you do not need to use the PSION Server or SARTOCAS Service Program for PCs to cali- brate/adjust the balance.
External Linearization There are two ways to perform external linearization: 1. with the Sartorius service software (PSION Server or SARTOCAS Service ± Software for PCs) - if the adjustment error is greater than 2%, or 2. as described in this manual, with the balance in the service mode.
SARTORIUS Master Performing External Linearization After defining the linearization weights, the linearization procedure can be started. Note: If linearization weights of sufficient accuracy are available (at least one digit greater than the display accuracy), it is not necessary to define the lineariza- tion weights (in the INPUT mode).
There are two ways to perform external span adjustment: Max5200 g d= 0.01 g 0.00 1. with the Sartorius service software (PSION Server or SARTOCAS Service ± Software for PCs) - if the adjustment error is greater than 2%, or 2.

MENU - Balance Operating Menu – Press F2 F2 while running the SETUP program. La-002e.BMP The symbol to the left appears. – Use the keys F1 - F4 F1 - F4 F1 - F4 F1 - F4 F1 - F4 (cursor function) to select the desired menu level and code digits.
SARTORIUS Master Activating the Service Mode The LP/LA balances are equipped with a service mode that enables ex- panded calibration/adjustment functions. The service mode only remains active until: 1. you press M to exit the menu, or 2. c is pressed when the “Service CAL Selection” menu is displayed The weighing mode is active (0.00 g is displayed - depending on the balance...
External Linearization There are two ways to perform external linearization: 1. with the Sartorius service software (PSION Server or SARTOCAS Service ± Software for PCs) - if the adjustment error is greater than 2%, or 2. as described in this manual, with the balance in the service mode.
SARTORIUS Master Performing External Linearization After defining the linearization weights, the linearization procedure can be started. – Activate the service mode again (see page 11). – Press F6 F6 to activate the adjustment menu. – Press F1 F1 to activate the “ext. linear user wt.” menu item, or tare the balance and press F6 F6 to start the linearization routine.
– The balance then returns to the weighing mode. La-001e.BMP External Span Adjustment There are two ways to perform external span adjustment: 1. with the Sartorius service software (PSION Server or SARTOCAS Service ± Software for PCs) - if the adjustment error is greater than 2%, or 2.
SARTORIUS Master External Span Adjustment with Stored Weight – Activate the service mode (see page 11). – Press F6 F6 and then press F1 F1 to select the “cal. ext. adjust. wt.” menu item. La-035e.BMP – Tare the balance, if necessary, and then press F6 F6 to start external span adjustment.
Calibration with a User-defined Weight You can define any weight as the calibration weight. The weight value of this weight is stored automatically in the mode INPUT under the “cal./adj. wt.” menu item. – Activate the service mode (see page 11). –...
SARTORIUS Master Servicing the Weighing Cell Note: Always disconnect the balance from AC power and then disconnect all cables from the balance before beginning service work! LP balances are equipped with either a small single-casting block system, a brass system or a large single-casting block system.
Accessing the Main PCB – Carefully tip the weighing platform on its side. – Remove the 6 screws (F) from the bottom of the weighing platform; remove the cover plate (204) and place it to one side. – The main PCB is now accessible. –...
– Linearity Note: The test procedures described in the following correspond to those described in the Sartorius Standard Operating Procedures, numbers WKD-037-01 and WKD-038-01. These also correspond to the specifications listed in the “Ser- vice Specifications Sheets for Master Balances.”...
Preload You only need to check the preload if: – the weighing system has been rebuilt (i.e., if the linkage was replaced) – the weighing system was damaged – the user wishes to change the preload (e.g., to use a special weighing pan) while retaining the entire weighing range Note: There are restrictions on the extent to which the preload can be changed!
SARTORIUS Master – Compare the voltage displayed on the digital voltmeter with the pre-load voltage given in the „Adjustment Specifications.“ If necessary, switch the Solderside voltmeter to a lower measuring range (e.g., 200 mV DC). – If the pre-load voltage measured exceeds the tolerance limits listed in the specifications, you must adjust the preload.
Adjusting the Preload – Preparations for adjusting the preload are the same as for checking the preload. – The preload is changed as follows: – in Master balances with the brass system, preload weights are removed from or added to the end of the lever. Messy05b.TIF –...
SARTORIUS Master Reproducibility – The required test weight is listed in the “Service Specifications Sheet for Master Balances.” – Unload the weighing pan and press t to tare. – Center the test weight on the weighing pan. – Write down the value displayed.
However, you can acquire the required knowledge by attending the corresponding ser- vice training course on this topic. For more information, please contact Sarto- rius AG in Goettingen, Germany, or the Sartorius Training Center. Master Balances with the Brass System 3-Point Adjustment (rough) –...
SARTORIUS Master Master Balances with the Large Single-Casting Block System Note: This adjustment should only be performed by trained, qualified technicians. There is a risk of doing irreparable damage to the weighing system during this adjustment procedure. The adjustment is performed by filing down the upper guide of the load cell.
Span Accuracy Checking the Span Accuracy Note: You must use certified calibrated or verified weights to check the span accu- racy. It must be established that the weights are traceable to a national standard. The calibration or verification certificate must indicate the nominal mass value, the deviation from the nominal value, and the uncertainty of measurement.
SARTORIUS Master Linearity Checking the Linearity There are 2 different procedures for checking the linearity, depending on the balance specifications: – for balances with a resolution of less than 1,000,000 digits – for balances with a resolution of more than 1,000,000 digits and for all...
Checking the Linearity on Balances with More Than 1,000,000 Digits and PolyRange Balances Note: For balances with a resolution of more than 1,000,000 digits (e.g., the LP1200S) and for PolyRange balances, the linearity is checked using the rela- tive method. 4 measurements are taken.
Repairing the Balance Repairing the Weighing System Do not attempt to repair the weighing system; send defective equipment to a Sartorius Repair Center, or to the main factory in Goettingen. Temperature compensation may be required; this can only be performed in Goettingen.
If it is not possible to read the data records or if no replacement PCB is avail- able, you can order a pre-programmed PCB from the Sartorius factory. Make sure you include the correct balance model and serial number when ordering...
SARTORIUS Master Master Balances with the Small Single-Casting Block System or Brass System – Disconnect the balance from AC power. – Open the weighing cell (see page 27). – Disconnect the cables to the data output port (A) and the power supply.
Warning When Using Pre-wired RS-232 Connecting Cables: RS-232 cables purchased from other manufacturers often have incorrect pin assignments for use with Sartorius balances. Be sure to check the pin assign- ments against the chart on the right before connecting the cable, and discon- nect any lines marked “Internally Connected”...
