Connecting the Weighing Platform
! The load cell should be connected by a certified technician who has received specialized
training from Sartorius. Any installation work that does not conform to the instructions
in this manual results in forfeiture of all claims under the manufacturer’s warranty.
! Disconnect the equipment from the power supply before starting connection work.
§ Set up the weighing platform (see operating instructions for the weighing platform)
§ Place the cable from the weighing platform next to the indicator
§ Open the Midrics indicator:
Loosen the 4 cap nuts on the front panel. Remove the front panel.
7
– Screw the wires tightly into the clamps
! Refer to the data sheet or operating instructions of the weighing platform for details on
the assignment of wire colors/signals. Ensure any lines that are not assigned are insulated
correctly.
! When connecting a load receptor that uses 4-conductor technology (the cable of the
weighing platform to be connected only has 4 lines), connect clamp pairs 1 and 2
(BR_ and SENSE_POS), and 5 and 6 (SENSE_NEG and BR_NEG) with a wire jumper.
$ Power is supplied via the installed power cord that is supplied. The power supply is inte-
grated into the indicator. The device can be operated with a voltage of 100 V to 240 V.
The printed voltage rating (see type label) must match the voltage in the place of instal-
lation. If the stated supply voltage or the plug design of the power cord does not comply
with the standard you use, please inform your nearest Sartorius representative or your
dealer.
The power connection must be made in accordance with the regulations applicable in
your country.
Safety Measures
If you use an electrical outlet that does not have a protective grounding conductor,
ensure that an equivalent protective conductor is installed by a certified electrician
(as specified in the applicable regulations for installation in your country). The protective
effect must not be negated by using an extension cord without a protective grounding
conductor.
Warm-up Time
To return precise results, the device must warm up for at least 30 minutes after initial
connection to the power supply. Only after this time will the device have reached the
required operating temperature.

Procedure
After approximately 2 seconds you will be prompted to place the first linearization
weight on the platform.
Place the required amount on the platform. After a short time the difference between
the measured value and the true weight of the sample will be displayed.
You will then be prompted to place the second linearization weight on the platform.
Repeat the procedure for all required linearization weights.
After the last linearization weight has been saved you will be prompted to remove any
load from the weighing pan.
Unload the weighing pan. After a short period of time the zero point will automatically
be adopted and the indicator will automatically switch back into weighing mode.
