Leveling

To ensure accurate measurement results, you need

to level the balance each time after you have moved it

to a different location.

Secura Balances

As soon as LEVEL

appears on the display,

you will need to level

the balance. Make sure

that the weighing pan

is unloaded before

you begin. Touch

LEVEL. Then follow the

prompts shown on the

interactive display.

Touch the menu key

to enter the selection

mode for applications

and functions.

Selecting the Language

Each balance has been factory preset to English.

You can select your preferred language as follows:

Touch the open-end

wrench icon.

Select Language.

Touch the desired

language and conﬁrm

selection by touching

the checkmark.

Quintix and

Practum Balances

Turn the two feet as

shown in the picture

until the air bubble

is centered within the

circle of the level

indicator.

Initial Operation of Balances Without a Draft Shield

Touch CAL to select

the combined

calibration and adjust-

ment mode.

Quick Access to

Calibration and

Adjustment

You will need to perform the combined calibration

and adjustment procedure the ﬁrst time you operate

the balance, each time after changing it to a different

location and at regular intervals during operation.

If you are using a Practum series balance, you will

have to do this manually as described below.

The Secura and Quintix series perform this procedure

fully automatically.

To perform external

adjustment, touch

CAL-Extern.

First touch A, then

w to calibrate

the balance. Place a

calibration weight

equal to that displayed

on the balance on the

pan. The balance will

now perform auto-

matic calibration and

adjustment, then it will

change to the operat-

ing mode.

Getting Started Quickly

Initial Operation of Balances with a Draft Shield

Install the following parts in

the order listed:

– In-use dust cover

– Turn the draft shield lock

to “unlocked” .

– Place the draft shield (1) on

the balance. Note: Use both

hands to hold the top struts

of the draft shield.

– Slide the side doors all the

way to the back.

– Turn the draft shield lock

to “locked” .

– Position the base plate (2),

centering ring* (3), pan

support (4), weighing pan (5)

and high-rim shield ring* (6)

on the balance.

Note: For information about

how to clean the draft shield,

see the Care and Maintenance

chapter in the Installation

Instructions.

* only for Secura with 0.1 mg

readability

Install the following parts in

the order listed:

1) In-use dust cover

2) Position the shield

disk (1) and turn it clock-

wise until it is locked

securely in place.

3) Position the pan support (2)

Quick Six-Step Guide to Applications

Counting

Mixing**

Components**

Familiarize yourself with the capabilities

of your Sartorius balance and start off by

counting identical parts. The balance will

show you the quantity and the total weight.

Say you have a formula and need to weigh in

various components quickly with 100% trace-

ability, without losing track of the total

weight. Just use the Mixing application.

Do you need to compound components

according to a formula, but don’t want to

mix them immediately? The application

Components enables you to weigh your

individual ingredients into different containers

and retrieve the total amount weighed-in –

anytime at the touch of a key.

Touch the menu key to access the

selection mode for applications and

select “Counting”.

Touch the menu key to access the

selection mode for applications and

select “Mixing”.

Touch the menu key to access the

selection mode for applications and

select “Components”.

Place an empty container for your sample

on the balance and press D to tare (zero

the display).

Place an empty container on the balance

and press D to tare (zero) the container

weight.

Place the ﬁrst empty container on the balance

and press D to tare (zero). Then weigh-in

component 1 and touch v to save the weight

in the memory.

** Available in Quintix and Secura

Enter the reference sample quantity by

touching the application toolbar (factory

setting: 10 pcs); place this quantity in the

container and press w.

Add the first component to the

container and touch v to save the

component weight. The display will

change to 0.

The reference sample quantity you

entered will now appear on the display.

Place your total sample quantity in

the container.

Add the next component and save its

weight by touching v.

On the balance display, the piece count

of your sample will now be shown.

Touch Qnt to view the total weight.

The total weight of your sample will

now appear on the display.

If necessary, you can add further

components. Touch Net1 to view the

total weight.

5 6

Now the total weight is displayed with

a triangle (= calculated value).

You can continue to add further

components, if necessary.

Remove the container with your ﬁrst

sample from the balance, the weight

reading will change to a negative value.

Now place another empty container on

the balance and press D to tare (zero).

Afterwards, you can add component 2 and

conﬁrm using v.

To weigh-in further samples, repeat this

procedure. To display the total weight of

the components added so far, touch Net.

The total of all saved components

will now be displayed (“Sum”) with a

triangle (= calculated value). Now you

can remove the container with the

last sample.

Statistics**

Density

Unstable Conditions

Would you like to save statistics on an entire

group of different samples? Your Sartorius

balance will transfer the readings to its

statistics memory and generate a report on

the key statistical parameters.

Let’s suppose you have a solid, irregularly-

shaped object and want to precisely determine

its density. Just use the Density application

along with the Sartorius density determina-

tion kit to calculate the quality of, for example,

precious metals and plastic parts with high

accuracy.

Do you have to weigh in an extremely unstable

environment or measure the weight of an

inquisitive little mouse that just won’t sit still?

No problem. This application lets you deter-

mine the weight reliably, giving you peace

of mind about the accuracy and traceability

of your results.

Touch the menu key to access the

selection mode for applications and

select “Statistics”.

First install the density kit on your

balance by following the instructions

for the kit. Touch the menu key and

select “Density”.

Touch the menu key to access the

selection mode for applications and

select “Unstable Cond.” for unstable

conditions or objects.

Tare (zero) your balance. Touch the

application toolbar

to set the density of the

liquid (“Medium density”) and the desired

accuracy of the density result.

Touch the

application toolbar

to deﬁne

the number of subweighing operations

(“Measurements”).

Touch application toolbar to select whether you

want to have the result printed after each

weighing operation and whether the balance is

to be tared automatically after a value has been

saved. Touch the checkmark to conﬁrm.

** Available in Quintix and Secura

Touch A to zero the balance. Place

your first sample on the balance and

press v to save the reading in

the memory.

Select the desired settings and conﬁrm

these by touching the checkmark. Then

touch w on the next screen display.

Remove the ﬁrst sample from the

balance. Now the display will change

to 0.

Immerse your sample in the sample

holder in the beaker filled with your

reference liquid; then touch v.

To weigh-in further samples, proceed

in the same manner. Touch n to

display the results.

You will now see your results

as a report.

The balance will now show you the

calculated density of your solid sample.

The result will be displayed with a triangle

(= calculated value).

5 6

This number has been factory-set to ﬁve

measurements. You can enter a different

number by touching the three dots.

For example, press 1 and 5 to enter 15

measurements and touch the checkmark

to conﬁrm this number.

Place your sample or an animal on the

pan and press w to begin weighing

under unstable conditions.

The averaged result will be displayed

with a triangle (= calculated value).

Place your sample on the upper pan of

the density kit to view its weight in air

and press v.
