This manual is part of the product. Keep it in a safe and easily accessible location. If the manual should be lost or misplaced, please contact Sartorius for a replacement or download the latest manual from our website: www.sartorius. Symbols and Signs The following symbols are used in this manual: Warning symbol for various types of dangers.
Page 4: Warnings And Safety Precautions
Make absolutely sure to unplug the indicator from power before you connect or disconnect any electronic peripheral devices to or from the interface port. The device should only be opened by personnel trained in accordance with Sartorius guidelines. If you use electrical equipment in installations and under ambient conditions requiring higher safety standards, you must comply with the provisions as speciﬁed...
Page 5 Declaration of Conformity. – A sticker with the “Sartorius" logo was afﬁxed to the indicator as a control seal following veriﬁcation. This seal will be irreparably damaged if you attempt to remove it. This will nullify the veriﬁcation's validity. In this case, re-veriﬁcation would be required in compliance with all relevant national regulations and laws.

Page 9: Getting Started
Data Interfaces chapter starting on page 102 Connecting Weighing Platforms to WP1 An analog Sartorius platform (CAPP, CAPS, IU or IF) or a commercially-available DMS load cell can be connected to the Combics indicator WP1 input. The load cell should be connected by a certiﬁed technician who has received specialized training from Sartorius.
Page 10 Securely connect the wires of the connecting cable in accordance with the terminal assignments. After you close the housing again, use a pressure gauge to check the integrity of the IP69K protection. For details, contact the Sartorius Service Center. Connecting Cables Insert all cable wires through the ferrite case, wind them around the ferrite case and then reinsert back through the ferrite case.

Page 17: Configuring Weighing Platforms
Conﬁguring Weighing Platforms Conﬁguring Weighing Platforms Service Mode The Service mode enables access to additional menu items in the Setup menu Purpose (setup) which are not displayed when the Service mode is not active. The most important calibration and adjustment work for the indicator and for the connected weighing platform can be carried out in the Service menu, e.g.
Page 18 Conﬁguring Weighing Platforms Activating the Service Mode Switch to the Menu mode (see page 35). Access the Setup menu. Select Setup If a password is requested at this point, enter the service password (see Appendix) and continue with “Saving the service password."

Page 19: 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.

Open the menu access switch The menu access switch is located on the back of the indicator right next to the weighing platform connection. Remove the cap. Slide the switch to the left (= “open"...
Page 24 Conﬁguring Weighing Platforms The A/D converter can now be treated like a standard weighing platform in connection with the load sensor. Close 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).
Page 25 Conﬁguring Weighing Platforms Procedure Open the menu access switch. If the device is part of a veriﬁed weighing facility, this will only be possible if the veriﬁcation seal is broken. The weighing equipment must then be veriﬁed again. Activate the Service mode. Select the weighing platform.

Place the ﬁrst component into the container (in this example, 1100 g).
Page 92 Operation y The value displayed equals the weight of components added up to now plus the current weight on the platform. Place the third component into the container until the desired total weight is reached (in this example, 2000 g). y The total weight is displayed.
Page 93: Combining Application Programs
Operation Combining Application Programs The following table shows how the applications described can be combined. The basic weighing function is available at all times; it does not need to be combined with a computational function. Select programs one after the other: Toggle using the D key Application 1 (Basic Function) Application 2 (Monitoring Function) Application 3 (Cumulative-value Function)
Page 94 Operation Place a number of parts in the container for the reference quantity (in this example, 10 pcs). Start the calculation of the reference piece weight. y If the weight is too light, an error code is shown in the main display Inf 29. Reduce the minimum load setting or increase the reference sample quantity setting and the number of parts in the container.
Page 95 Operation y The number of pieces is saved automatically. Unload the scale: Remove the samples Perform further counting operations as desired. Toggle display from individual value to total. End the portioning options and print the ﬁ nal evaluation. Conﬁ gured printout: Total -------------------- nRef 10 pcs...
