  • Page 8: Installation

    Installation Installation When a Combics indicator is ordered with special equipment, the desired options come pre-loaded from the factory. Storage and Shipping Conditions Once the equipment has been removed from the packaging, it may lose accuracy if subjected to strong vibration. If the load plate is lifted using a vacuum lifting pad, gloves, safety shoes and safety gear must be worn. Risk of injury! This work may only be carried out by reliable and authorized personnel. Suspension points are provided for weighing platforms with an overall size of 1 + 1 m or larger. Do not step under the load during weighing platform/load plate transport or when lifting. Corresponding accident prevention regulations must be followed. Do not damage the clamp boxes and load receptors during transport. – D o not expose the equipment to unnecessarily extreme temperatures, moisture, shocks, blows or vibration. – Permissible storage temperature: –10°C to +40°C Installation Location Avoid adverse infl uences at the place of installation: – Extreme temperatures (operating temperature: –10°C to +40°C) – Aggressive chemical vapors – Extreme moisture (according to IP protection class) Unpacking For devices with a platform size of 60 x 80 cm or larger: t Protective gear must be worn (safety shoes and if required, gloves) t A lways lift on the side walls when lifting or transporting the weighing platform.

  • Page 11 Installation Shock Resistance The weighing platform has a robust design; however, falling weighing samples, side impacts and shocks should be avoided. The weighing platform can withstand loads specifi ed in the DIN standard IEC68 Part 2-27. Notes on Planning Superstructures Superstructures must be completely attached before the weighing platform is connected to the power. The weighing platform is designed for system integration. Scale drawings are the basis for the selection of the required superstructures. The fi xing of model CAH*IG* weighing platforms should be carried out using the YAS04IS fastening kit. Moving or rotating parts on the weighing pan must be designed so that the weighing results are not infl uenced. Rotating parts should be counterbalanced, for example. The weighing pan must be free on all sides so that there is no connection between the weighing platform and fi xed parts due to falling parts or dirt. Cables and hoses between the weighing platform and other devices may not exert any forces on the weighing platform. These cables may not touch the weighing pan. When setting up systems in hazardous areas (Zone 2 or 22), any relevant specifi cations should be observed, e. g.: EN60079-14. The design should ensure that moving parts do not cause electrostatic discharges (e.g. roller conveyors). Preload Range (Zero Set Range) The weight of the superstructures that are attached to the weighing platform is designated as a “preload.“ The preload is electronically compensated for in the weighing platform so that the full weighing range remains available and thus zeroing and/or adjustment (with external weights) is possible.

  • Page 32: Entering Adjustment And Linearization Weights

    Confi guring Weighing Platforms Entering 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 specifi c 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 – 513 m elevation above sea level are entered, the weighing equipment can be used throughout Germany. Gravitational acceleration for “Germany (Zone D)” is 9.810 m/s . On delivery the geographical data for “Germany (Zone D)” are entered in the output device. It is recommended to use the geographical data settings for “Germany (Zone D)” when adjusting and delivering the weighing equipment within Germany.

  • Page 86: 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 adjusted via the internal adjustment equipment at the installation location: see chapter “Configuring Weighing Platforms,“ section “Internal Adjustment.“ The temperature range (°C) listed on the ID label should not be exceeded during operation. For Servicing: External adjustment for verified scales of accuracy class l – E xternal adjustment is blocked in legal metrology (switch cover is sealed) – E xternal adjustment 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 91: Sqmin Function

    Operation 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 set this on your balance using your QA system‘s guidelines. 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. – If the minimum sample quantity has not been reached: The ksymbol is displayed and weight values are marked with a “!“ in the printout. – GLP header: The minimum sample quantity entered for SQmin can be included on the printout.

You can define the printout content by specifying which blocks of information are to be included (see “Configuring Printouts”). In general, the current display value is output (weight with unit, calculated value, alphanumeric display) unless you configure a user-definable data record. Generally, data is output only after the weighing instrument has stabilized (factory setting). Here you can define whether data is output on request or automatically, at stability or without stability check; and configure a user-defined printout. The data output for “without stability“ must be set accordingly (SBI: Data output). If you select time-dependent automatic printout, you need to define the print interval (in display updates) as well. Each line of a printout can contain up to 20 characters. The first 6 characters, called the “data header”, identify the subsequent value. Only 14 characters are available if you disable the header. This is carried out in the “Line format“ menu item (see also “Setup Overview“ in “Configuration“).
