See “Appendix D ⎯ Technical Specifications” on page 29 for more details on the different models. This user’s guide applies to the marine scale (M1100e-U3) and the land based scale (M1100e-C3). Except for the marine calibration procedure (see page 14), both types are operated in exactly the same way.
On scales with separate indicator and platform, make sure the cables between indicator and platform do not move during weighing. This ensures optimum performance. Default Settings On delivery the M1100e scale has the following default settings: • Zero tracking •...
The use of chlorine can cause rust spots to appear on the stainless steel. • Do not use high-pressure jets on the M1100e. Instead, use low water pressure or pour water over by hand. Detergents The acidity of detergents used on Marel equipment should preferably be pH 12-13.

If automatic zero tracking is set (by activating a software switch, see p. 20), the scale will automatically track small variations in the zero point. The maximum tracking rate is 0.5 divisions per second. User’s Guide The M1100e Scale • 11...
♦ Therefore, for initial start of the scale, simply plug the electrical cord into the nearest suitable power outlet. For a battery operated scale, attach the battery to the M1100e Indicator. After power has been applied, the software version and the status of the Cal/Con event counters appear briefly on the Weight Display and a light test of the display is run.
Marine Calibration The motion compensation of the M1100e marine scale must be calibrated every once in a while to ensure the weighing results are accurate and stable. IMPORTANT! For optimum marine calibration results, always calibrate the scale in the physical environment where it will be used for weighing, i.e.
Remove the reference weight from the platform. The Weight Display returns to zero and the scale is now ready for use. Functions The following sections are an overview of the basic M1100e functions the user should be familiar with: • the Tare function •...
Enable this option by turning on the application switch (see page 20). The scale will automatically record the last stable weight on the platform when you remove the weight from the platform. 16 • Basic Operation M1100e, U3 & C3-1.00...
Unit of Weight The unit of weight in the M1100e is fixed at the time of the scale’s calibration setup. The unit of weight is displayed to the right on the Weight Display. IMPORTANT! Watch the Zero indicator when the scale is in use. The Zero indicator should light up when the platform is empty.
