Page 20: Analog/Digital Converter (Adc)
Configuring Weighing Platforms Analog/Digital Converter (ADC) Purpose Adjust the parameters of the analog/digital converter to the connected load cell or weighing platform. After ADC configuration, the ADC in connection with the load sensor is defined as a scale. Once the ADC configuration has been locked, the indicator can no longer be used to influence weighing results. The scope of functions available in the weighing instrument is defined by the A/D converter. Weighing functions that can be activat- ed include reading weight values, taring, adjustment, reading the tare value, saving/ deleting the tare entry Setup information – ADC configuration is only possible when the menu access switch is open. Close the menu access switch after ADC configuration, as otherwise there will not be any display of the conditions “overload” (“H”) and “underload” (“L”). – Before ADC configuration, you must first set whether or not the weighing platform will be used as a standard or verifiable weighing platform under menu item 9.1. – When the Service mode is activated, ADC configuration can be carried out in the Setup menu under “WP-1" for the first weighing platform and COm1 / WP-2, UNICOM / WP-2 or COm-WP for the second weighing platform. If you return to the highest level of the Setup menu without saving the configura- tion parameters beforehand (menu item 11.10) any settings that have been made will be deleted. – The settings are made in the corresponding Setup menu under menu item 11. – Enter the maximum capacities in a suitable weight unit, without any decimal places (decimal places will be truncated by the rounding function). – Entries made in the ADC configuration will not be affected by a menu reset (returning the setup parameters to their factory settings).

The readability corresponds to the scale interval d.
Page 23 Configuring Weighing Platforms Minimum load (min. load) When “Standard configuration” is used, this menu item is not displayed. The minimum load of the connected weighing platform is entered under this menu item. The minimum load for scales of class l is 20 e and 10 e for class Attention: The function of the minimum load setting is to warn operators that below this limit, the summation of tolerances might lead to significant measurement errors. In Germany, for example, initial weights below the minimum load are not allowed. Range 1, Range 2, Range 3 The range limits are entered for the individual ranges. The accuracy changes when these limits are exceeded. The following applies when entering limits: Range 1 < Range 2 < Range 3 < max. load This means that the weighing range can be divided into a maximum of 4 ranges. The resolution changes at intervals of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 etc., where the lowest resolution is the smallest scale interval entered. Set ranges that are not required for use to zero. Available weight units WT.UNIT Menu item 11.7 This menu item is used to select the weighing units that have been cleared for use in weighing. All units marked with a circle (o) have been cleared for use, multiple selection is possible.

Page 25 Configuring Weighing Platforms The A/D converter can now be treated like a standard weighing platform in connection with the load sensor. t C lose the menu access switch (right position) and reattach the cap. Once ADC configuration has been completed, an adjustment of the weighing platform (calibration/adjustment and linearization) must be carried out (see page 47 and “Calibration/Adjustment without Weights", page 30). E ntering Geographical Data for Use in Legal Metrology Purpose Entering geographical data allows the external adjustment of weighing equipment at a place (e.g. at the manufacturer or vendor's place of business) that is not the same as the place of installation. If the weighing equipment is adjusted at the place of installation, it is not necessary to enter geographical data. The sensitivity of weighing equipment changes depending on the place of installation as it is dependent on the on-site gravitational force – or, more precisely, on gravitational acceleration. Saving geographical data makes it possible to change the place of installation of the weighing equipment after external adjustment has been carried out. The adjustment of weighing equipment is valid at the place of installation and within a specific tolerance zone. At 3000 e this zone extends ±100 km from the set geographical latitude and ±200 m from the set elevation above sea level. Installation Location in Germany An exception to this is the setting for “Germany (Zone D):” If during external adjustment of weighing equipment within Germany the geographical data – Geographical latitude: 51.00 degrees N – 513 m elevation above sea level are entered, the weighing equipment can be used throughout Germany.

Page 48: Calibration, Adjustment
Operation Calibration, Adjustment Purpose Perform calibration to determine the difference between the value displayed and the actual weight on the platform. Calibration does not entail making any changes within the weighing equipment. During adjustment, the difference between the measured value displayed and the true weight of a sample is corrected, or is reduced to an allowable level within maximum permissible error limits. Configuration for Use in Legal Metrology Configuration of the weighing instrument for use in legal metrology is set by a switch. The switch is located on the back of the weighing platform and covered by a protective cap. Using a verified scale in legal metrology in the EU: The Type-Approval Certificate for verified scales is only valid for non-automatic weighing instruments. For automatic operation with or without additional, integrated equipment, please follow the applicable national regulations for the installation location. Externally connected IS scales: Before use in legal metrology, the scale should be calibrated via the internal calibration equipment at the installation location: see the “Internal Calibration" section in this chapter. The temperature range (°C) listed on the ID label should not be exceeded during operation. For Servicing: External calibration for verified scales of accuracy class l – E xternal calibration is blocked in legal metrology (switch cover is sealed) – E xternal calibration is only possible by removing the seal. If the seal is broken, the validity of verification will become void and you must have your scale re-verified.
Page 49 Operation Example: External calibration and manual adjustment with default weights (weighing parameters: factory settings) 1.) Zero the scale. T he difference between the measured value and the true weight of the sample 2.) S tart calibration will be displayed with plus/ (e.g., when adjustment minus signs. prompt flashes WP).

Page 50: Sqmin Function
Operation 4.) Place the calibration/adjustment weight on the weighing platform. The adjust- ment weight is displayed once the adjust- ment is finished. Remove the adjustment weight from the weighing platform. SQmin Function Purpose To display the allowable minimum sample quantity “SQmin” (sample quantity minimum) in accordance with the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP). According to USP guidelines, the uncertainty of measurement may not exceed 0.1% of the sample quantity when substances are weighed with the highest degree of accuracy for volume determination. This additional function ensures that weighing results lie within defined tolerance limits corresponding to the requirements of your quality assurance system. System Requirements The scale must be set up by a service technician to be able to use the SQmin function. The technician will determine the permitted minimum sample quantity and load this to your scale using the guidelines of your QA system. He will document this setting via a “Weighing module test as per USP" certificate in which the measurements and min. sample quantity are logged. The SQmin function ensures that the weighing results correspond to USP guidelines. These SQmin settings cannot be changed by the user. Features – D isplaying the minimum sample quality: The value is displayed in the text line for 4 seconds after pressing the k key. – I f the minimum sample quantity has not been reached: The k symbol is displayed and weight values are marked with a “!" in the printout. – G LP header: The minimum sample quantity entered for SQmin can be included on the printout.

Page 105 Data Interfaces Connecting a printer The COM1 standard interface, the optional UniCOM universal interface or both can be used as a printer interface. Use as a communications interface The data protocol can be set to the following operating modes for operation as a communications interface: – SBI (factory setting) – XBPI-232 – XBPI-485 (UniCOM only) – MP8 binary (COM1 only) – SMA – Profibus – Ethernet Both communication interfaces can be operated independent of each other (e.g. data transfer and control via a PC using the optional UniCOM interface with simultaneous printing via the COM1 printer interface). During data communication, each interface can use a different protocol, e. g. Com1 with SMA and UniCom with XBPI. In SBI operation, an indicator and connected weighing platform can be controlled using ESC commands from the PC via the communications interface (COM1 or UniCOM) (see page 105). Each device can only be configured once for two interfaces (COM1 and UniCOM). Device include: – WP-2 – Analog output If you attempt to reconfigure a device that has already been configured to another interface (e.g. WP2 to COM-1) a second time (to UniCOM), the error message INF 74 appears.
Page 106: Configuring The Data Interface As A Com Port (Datprot)
Data Interfaces Configuring the Data Interface as a COM Port (datprot) You can configure the interface as a COM port in either COM1 or UniCOM, “Data Protocol" (datprot) menu item. SBI communication This is a simple ASCII interface. Data output is configured under menu items 6.1 and 6.3: – M anual output of displayed value with or without stability (menu items 6.1.1 and 6.1.2) – A utomatic output of displayed value with or without stability (menu items 6.1.4 and 6.1.5) at intervals defined by display updates. The number of display intervals is set in menu item 6.3. – O utput of a configurable printout (menu item 6.1.7). Output is linked to the “Printouts” menu item (datprot), (see page 96 “Configuring Printouts") If you do not activate and configure a user-definable data record, the printout simply contains the current value displayed on the display and control unit (weight with unit, calculated value, alphanumeric display). SMA communication Standardized communications protocol of the Scale Manufacturers Association MP8 binary Using the MP8 interface, you can connect MP8 generation peripheral devices with their own power supply to Combics.
Page 107: Data Input Format
Data Interfaces Data Input Format You can connect a computer to your scale to send commands controlling weighing instrument functions and applications via the interface port. All commands use the same data input format. They start with the ESC character (ASCII 27) and end with a carriage return (CR; ASCII 13) and a line feed (LF; ASCII 10). The total length of a command is anywhere from 4 characters (1 command character between the start and end described above) to max. 7 characters (4 command characters). This number can also be higher when sending texts. The commands listed in the following table must each be supplemented with ESC ... CR LF. Example: The command character for output is “P” (“output to Port”). To trigger this command, send the string: “ESC P CR LF”. Command Meaning Weighing mode 1 Weighing mode 2 Weighing mode 3 Weighing mode 4 Block keys Send display value to data interface Output acoustic signal Unblock keys Tare and zero (combination tare function) f3_ Zero (see also the “kZE_” command) f4_ Tare without zeroing (see also the “kT_” command) Information about the indicator, example of output: “C2/016202/1" E xplanation: Indicator: Combics 2, software version: 016202, active weighing platform: 1 kF1_ F1: Trigger k key function kF2_ F2: Trigger c key function (Combics 2 only) kF3_ F3: Trigger r key function (Combics 2 only) kF4_...

Data Interfaces Data Output Format Each line in a print job can contain up to 22 characters (up to 20 printable characters plus two control characters). The fi rst 6 characters, called the “data header”, identify the subsequent value. You can suppress the header under menu item 7.2 in the “Printouts” menu; in this case, the print job has up to 16 characters (up to 14 printable characters plus two control characters). Example: Output Without an ID Code + 16 characters are printed 253 pcs Example: Output With an ID Code Qnt 22 characters are printed 253 pcs Display segments that are not activated are output as spaces.

Page 112: Configuring A Printout
Data Interfaces Configuring Printouts Printouts are configured in the Setup menu under “Printouts" (setup / print / protoc.). This should be carried out after configuring the application since some data in the printout is application-dependent. You can configure a separate printout for each interface Each printout is comprised of different information blocks that can be activated or deactivated via multiple selection in the menu. Combics 2 only: For the “Totalizing" and “Net-total Formulation" applications, the totalizing/results printout can be configured independent of the individual/component printout. Headers 2 headers each with a max. of 20 characters are available (e.g. for printing the company name). Input: menu items 7.4.1 and 7.4.2. Empty headers are not printed: Example Print image: ACE HARDWARE GOETTINGEN In this example, the company name is printed centered because there are 4 and 5 spaces before the text. GMP-compliant printouts When this function, the printout is supplemented with a GMP header and a GMP footer (GMP: “Good Manufacturing Practice”). Setting: Menu item 7.13. The GMP header precedes the first measured result. The GMP footer is printed either after each individual measurement result (“GMP-compliant printout always for 1 result." menu item 7.13.2) or after the last result in a series of measurements (“GMP-compliant printout always for several application results,” menu item 7.13.3). To end a series of measured results, press and hold the p key. In this case, the p symbol is displayed after the GMP header is printed and remains in the display until the GMP footer is printed. If you toggle to a different platform (Combics 2 only) while a GMP printout of several measured results is being generated (menu item 7.13.3), the GMP footer for the platform used up to that point is generated when you press the n key.

Page 117: Care And Maintenance
Care and Maintenance Care and Maintenance Service Regular servicing by a Sartorius technician will extend the service life of your device and ensure its continued weighing accuracy. Sartorius offers its customers service contracts with regular maintenance intervals ranging from one month to two years. The frequency of the maintenance intervals depends on the operating conditions and the operator's tolerance requirements. Repairs Disconnect the power supply to the defective equipment immediately (unplug the power cord from the mains supply). Repair work must be performed by author- ized Sartorius service technicians using original spare parts. Repairs performed by untrained persons may result in considerable hazards for the user. If a cable or cable gland is damaged or defective, replace the cable as a complete unit with all its connectors. Do not open the indicator while it is carrying current. Wait at least 10 seconds after disconnecting it from power before beginning to open the equipment. Proper fi tting of all surfaces is essential for the IP rating of the housing; for this reason the device must be opened and closed by a certifi ed technician. Cleaning Indicators are designed in compliance with European Hygienic Equipment Design Group (EHEDG) directives on suitable measures to avoid contamination, so that they are particularly easy to clean and disinfect. Disconnect the power supply to the indicator (unplug the power cord from the mains supply). If necessary, disconnect the data cable. Make sure that no liquid enters the indicator. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents (solvents or similar agents). Do not spray the device with water or blow with compressed air. t C lean the indicator with a cloth lightly moistened with a soap solution.
