Animal Weighing - Sartorius Factory Series Operating Instructions Manual

Animal Weighing

C
Purpose
Use this program to determine the
weights of unstable samples (e.g.,
live animals) or to determine weights
under unstable ambient conditions.
In this program, the scale calculates
the weight as the average of a
defined number of individual
weighing operations. These
weighing operations are also known
as "subweighing operations."
You can use this application program
in combination with a program
chosen from Application 2
(checkweighing, time-controlled
functions) and one from Application 3
(totalizing, formulation, statistics).
Available Features
– Animal weighing started manually
or automatically
– Automatic start:
– when a defined threshold has
been exceeded (Minimum
load threshold: None; 10;
20; ...; 500; 1,000 display
increments)
– when three successive
subweights lie within a user-
defined tolerance range (calm;
normal; active; 0.1%; 0.2%;
...; 50%; 100% of the
animal/object)
– Manual start:
– also possible when the load
is under the minimum load
threshold
– when three successive
subweights lie within a user-
defined tolerance range (calm;
normal; active; 0.1.%; 0.2%;
...; 50%; 100% of the
animal/object)
– Optional scale configuration in
the Setup menu for automatically
initializing this application when
you turn on the scale
(Setup: Printout: Auto-start applica-
tion when power goes on: On)
– Number of weighing operations
for calculation of an average
( ) can be set before
mDef
the beginning of each animal
weighing operation
– The factor for calculation
of the result can be set before
the beginning of each animal
weighing operation
– The number of subweighs
remaining to be performed is
indicated in the text display
during weighing
– Arithmetic average displayed as
a result in the pre-set weight unit
(identified by the a symbol).
– Optional multiplication of the
arithmetic average by a user-
defined factor .
Mul
A circle " " is displayed as
o
weight unit and
Mul = xxx
is shown in the text line
– Toggling between the weight
and the calculated value by
pressing the soft key and
xNet
the soft key
xRes
– Automatic output of results via the
interface port:
– Number of weighing
operations
mDef
– Multiplication factor
Mul
– Automatic output of results
(printout) via the interface port:
– Weighing result
xNet
– Calculated result
xRes
The following options have to
be set: Printout: Application-
defined output: Auto print upon
initialization: All values
– The unload threshold is
equal to one-half the minimum
scale capacity
– Return to weighing mode
by unloading the scale; i.e.,
when the load is below the
unload threshold

Upon completion of the averaging
process, you can have the results
printed out automatically. You can
also have both the weight and the
calculated result printed.
