Toobtain complete satisfaction from your balance , it is essential that you read through these Operating instructions Operating instructions apply to Balances of the AM and PM series with a weighing range up to 6 kg. Although the Operating proceduresfor these Balances are identical, differences exist regarding the weighing range, the readability accuracy and the weighing pan or with these Operating instructions is the booklet Technical data and accessories , which also contains possibilities of the METTLERTOLEDO AM/PM the location4 Mounting the weighing pan / levelling the balance5 Installing the draft shield6 OperationControl elements / connections / display8 METTLER DeltaTrac / METTLER DeltaRange9 Switching display on and off10 Simple weighing / taring11 Single-key (control bar) operation12 MenuOverview14 Calibrating15 Adapting to the type of weighing (weighing process adapter)16 Adapting to the ambient conditions (vibration adapter)

For thispurpose adjust bubble in level indicator 9with the two levelling screws the weighing pan / now, level the balance6To ensure that the weighing results are not influenced by the drafts (particularly for sensitive measuring ranges) we recommend the installationof a draft Balances with 1 mg readabilityMounting procedures 1 and 2 areneeded only if the bottom element 12has not been installed at the weighing pan 10 and pansupport bottom element 12 on balance ,and rotate to stop.

5 METTLER DeltaTrac shows you a graphicrepresentation of the numerical values shown in the digital used together with METTLER TOLEDO Pacs, the METTLER DeltaTrac can also perform additional functions (see booklet Technicaldata and accessories ). a fin range with 10 times the normal accuracy. Briefly pressing the control bar (taring) will activate DeltaRange anywhere throughoutthe entire weighing absolute weighing, subtractive weighing, weighing-in andformula weighing, the dynamic display indicates the weighingrange used up and that still the aid of METTLER DeltaTrac you can check fill quanti-ties and determine deviations from a definable target weight can always see the tolerance limits with correct signs, aswell as positive or negative deviations (see Applications ).Note: You also have the 10 times more accurate fin range available insubtractive rangeFine rangeWeighing rangeCoarse range10 timesmoreaccuratefine rangeThe METTLER DeltaTracMETTLER DeltaRange on display ( Display changes automatically)Display switched off (standby)Briefly press controll bar; all display segments light up briefly(automatic system and display check).

6 Software No. ( , for information only).Weighing modeLifting the control bar from below causes the display to blank out; the electronics are liveas long as the power cable is connected (Standby). The balance is thus always ready foroperation; no warm-up time : If a power outage occurs during operation, the display will indicate OFF immediately the power is restored. You should then briefly pressthe control bar (also consult What .Display subsequently indicates zero (weighing mode). The number of decimal placesdepends on the readability of your balance model as well as the selected weight off display11 Simple weighingCaution: Before the balance is used for the first time, it must be calibrated (see Calibration in section Menu ).Taring ( display changes automatically)Weighing modeWeighing modeBrief pressing of control bar initiates taring container or packing has now been weighing range minus tare weight is now available for weighing sampleWait for stability and read result(Stability is reached as soon as stability detector fades).)

7 Load an empty container or : The stability detector can be switched off during taring by pressing the control bar twice. It is then possible that the display does not showexactly g. The foot or hand switch from the accessories offers the possibility of external taring (connection at rear of balance ). - - - operation with a control barSwitching on/off, calibrating, configuring: All of these operations can be initiated with the control bar. You can even use this single control barto activate the applications incorporated as more convenient operation of the applications, the GM303 Terminal (direct function, switch and print key) from the accessories can will find them throughout the Operating instructions and short-form barbrieflyPress and holdcontrol baruntil required display appearsOperationDisplay changesautomaticallyNote these the symbolsTry to familiarize yourself with the key symbols with the aid of the following example.

8 Switch on the display and remove weight from weighingpan. Now try to select and change the weighing process adapter control !briefly press control bar!Note: If the display automatically returns to zero (weighing mode) 3 seconds after the control bar was last pressed, simplybegin the procedure you adjusted the status display so that the drop symbol is shown on the left of the display? If your first attempt wasunsuccessful, try again. You will find further information regarding the weighing process adapter and much more in thefollowing distinguish between two levels of software. The first, simpler level, we call the Menu. It can be activated by pressing and holding the controlbar. The second software level is called the Configuration file. Details can be found in section Configuring ..calibrate your balance ,..use the weighing process adapter to set the weighing modes or the weighing sample, the vibration adapter to adapt the balance to the ambient can select the menu from the weighing mode.

9 Switch on display and remove load from weighing pan. Then presscontrol bar (and keep depressed): The menu sequence starts. After the third menu step the balance returns to theweighing mode. Now release the control : If you have selected the menu step Weighing process adapter or Vibration adapter and do not press thecontrol bar for 3 seconds, your balance will return automatically to the weighing mode. However, the actual settings arestored (the same applies if you return to the weighing mode by pressing and holding the control bar).. clear MenuWhen the Menu is activated, you the balance is used for the first time, it must be calibrated (to take the acceleration due to gravity into account).Caution: To obtain accurate results we recomment that you connect the balance to the line 30 min before calibrating (60 min for AM Balances ).

10 MenuStart calibration with display switched on by pressing and holding the control bar(weighing mode, display zero with empty weighing pan).Release control bar as soon as CAL appears in calibration weight, g, to remove required calibration weight on weight from balance is recalibrated, (it is now back in weighing mode).15l-c your balance16 AccessYour balance is now Operating in the animal weighing mode, of a live animal do not influence the display. The measure-ment values are averaged during a certain time period and subsequent-ly indicated on the slow filling-in of weighing goods all decimal places of the displayare available. The weight increase can thus be followed setting. With DeltaDisplay on , the last decimal place issuppressed in coarse dispensing, see page this setting, you can rapidly check a weight.
