Activating the BPI Mode Note: In order to use the CAS programs with the Sartorius MC1 Server (version 4.4 and later), the balance must be set to the BPI mode ( Binary Protocol Interface mode) (e.g., for linearization or when replacing the PCB).
SARTORIUS Basic plus Close the back of the balance with the cover stopper. - You can now use the balance together with the Sartorius MC1 Server or the CAS Program for Personal Computers. Caution: After working in the BPI Mode, make sure to set the write-protect again (with the CAS Program for the Sartorius MC1 Server (version 4.4 and later)), so that...
Adjustment of overload Stop The overload stop only needs to be checked after the strain gauge system is replaced. Checking the Overload Stop Open the balance (see page 27). The gap between the overload stop (202a) and the lower end position on a non-loaded system can be up to (202,205): 0,1g strain gauge system (202) (e.g.
SARTORIUS Basic plus Null Indicator Checking the Null Indicator Important note: Never change the position of the null indicator! Even when the lever is removed, the null indicator does not require adjustment. Procedure: Open the balance (see page 27). Connect the digital voltmeter between pin 7 of the IC 101 on the analog PCB (204b) and the ground (⊥).
Zero Point Offset Value (Strain Gauge System) Checking the Zero Point Offset Value Always check the zero point offset value after installing a new strain gauge system (see page 25) or when the zero point offset changes as a result of mechanical influences.
SARTORIUS Basic plus - Connect the balance to the power supply and switch it on. - Compare the values displayed on the digital voltmeter with those in the “Adjustment/Calibration Data Sheet for Basic Balances“. plus - If the preload voltage exceeds the tolerance range, adjust the voltage by opening or closing the solder bridges as necessary, in accordance with the following table.
Note: The procedure described in the following for checking the off-center load is based on the Sartorius in-house standard no. 1-150, point 1.5.1 “Checking the Off-Center Load Using 5 Test Positions“. All off-center load values given in the “Adjustment/Calibration Data Sheets for Basic Balances“...

5-Point Adjustment (fine) - Place the test weight on position 1 on the weighing pan; if the balance has a draft shield, close the draft shield. Press » « to tare the balance. - Place the test weight on positions 2 through 3 in sequence and write down the values, with plus or minus sign, displayed at stability and with the draft shield (if present) closed.
SARTORIUS Basic plus Linearity Note: You can only adjust the linearity in these balances using the Sartorius MC1 Server (version 4.4 and later). Checking the Linearity - Check the linearity for the entire weighing range in 5 steps. - Compare the values displayed with the tolerance ranges given in the “Adjustment/Calibration Data Sheets for Basic...
The balance only accepts weight values within a tolerance range of approx. 2% of the nominal value. Deviations exceeding this tolerance range can only be compensated using the Sartorius MC1-Server (tolerance approx. 50% of the nominal value). - Place the required weight in the middle of the weighing pan and, if you are using a balance with a draft shield, close the draft shield.
SARTORIUS Basic plus Internal Adjustment/Calibration - Make sure that the menu code “1 9 3 - internal adjustment/calibration accessible“ is set (see page 13, “Balance Operating Menu Settings)“. - Tare the balance by pressing » «; then press » « to initiate the adjustment/calibration function.
After installation, perform the function: SAVE / LIN / CAL / CLOSE with a PSION and the Sartorius MC1 Server (version 4.4 and later). - Open the balance (see page 27). - Disconnect all plugs (e.g. system connector- (ST.3), weight application sub- assembly plug, etc.) from the PCB (204b).

Having installed a new PCB set (204) with the basic data set, you must read in the basic data set into the balance, using the Sartorius MC1 Server (version 4.4 and later). See the program description of the MC1 for instructions on this procedure.
