Please read right through this Section carefully even if you already have experience with mettler toledo Balances ; please pay special attention to the safety warnings! IntroductionThank you for choosing a mettler toledo Analytical Balances of the XS line combine a large number of weighing and adjustment possibilities with exceptionally convenient operation.

10 With these Balances software updates can be downloaded from the Internet and loaded into the Operating Instructions apply to all Analytical Balances in the XS lines. However, the different models have different characteristics regarding equipment and performance. Special notes in the text indicate where this makes a difference to Introducing the XS Analytical balancesThe XS family of anlytical Balances comprises a range of Analytical Balances which differ from each other in relation to their weighing range and resolution. The following features are common to all models of the XS lines: Fully automatic adjustment FACT (calibration and linearization) using internal weight. Built-in applications for normal weighing, statistics, formulation, piece counting, percent weighing, density determination and LabX Client. Integral RS232C interface. Touch-sensitive graphics terminal ( TouchScreen ) for easy, convenient brief word about standards, guidelines, and methods of quality assurance: The XS Analytical Balances comply with usual standards and guidelines.
