2.2 Location selection or location change

Your balance is a precision instrument and will thank you for an optimum location with high accuracy and dependability:
Firm, vibration-free position as horizontal as possible
No direct sunlight
No excessive temperature fluctuations
No excessive drafts (powerful air conditioning systems or fume hoods can also cause drafts).
2.3 Leveling the balance

To assure repeatable weighing results at all times, the balance must be exactly horizontal. To compensate minor
unevenness at its location, the balance can be leveled:
Turn the two leveling feet at the back of the balance housing until the air bubble
is in the center of the level control.
The balance must be releveled each time its location is changed.

11
2.4 Power supply

Check whether the voltage printed on the AC adapter matches your local line
voltage. If this is not the case, on no account connect the AC adapter to the power
supply, but contact your responsible METTLER TOLEDO dealer.
There are two different AC adapters with national power cable available for your
PG-S balance:
115 V, –15% + 10%, 50/60 Hz
230 V, –15% + 10%, 50/60 Hz.
PG-S 03
If you wish to work with the holder (1) supplied with the AC adapter: Attach the
holder with two screws to a suitable, sufficiently stable area (e.g. on the wall or
the underside of a bench top). Press the AC adapter into the holder.
Note:
The AC adapter can be removed from the holder by pressing the projecting lug.
Connect the AC adapter to the connection socket of your balance and to the power
supply.
Ensure that the AC adapter can never come into contact with liquids!
The balance now performs a self-test in which all display segments light up
briefly. “OFF” then appears in the display (“OFF” indicates that the balance has
OFF been disconnected from the power supply).
On Press the «On/Off» key. The display briefly provides information on the installed
Off
software version and the normal weight display then appears.
+74 +30
Allow your balance to warm up for 30 minutes to enable it to adapt itself to the
ambient conditions.
12
2.5 Adjusting (calibrating) the balance

An adjustment (i.e. an adjustment to the acceleration due to gravity) is needed
when putting into operation for the first time and after every location change. In
colloquial language, this operation is frequently also referred to as “calibration”
(to avoid misunderstandings, this term is enclosed in brackets when neces-
sary). You should also adjust (calibrate) your balance at regular intervals in
weighing operations to obtain precise results. If you work according to GLP
(Good Laboratory Practice) and SOP (Standard Operating Procedure), please
note the stipulated intervals for the adjustment (calibration).
With PG-S balances you have various possibilities for adjusting (calibrating) or
checking the balance. You have a choice between the following parameters:
– Adjustment (calibration) or checking the balance,
– internal or external weights,
– automatic or manual initiation of the adjustment operation
The factory setting is fully automatic adjustment (calibration) FACT (Fully

Automatic Calibration Technology) with the internal weight. In this setting, you
have no need worry about adjusting (calibrating) your balance.
The balance adjusts itself automatically
– after the warm-up phase on connection to the power supply,
– in the case of certified balances, during the warm-up phase (after power
failure),
– when a change in the ambient conditions, e.g. the temperature could lead to
a noticeable deviation in the measurement.

3. Weighing made simple

This section shows you how to perform simple weighings, how you can accelerate the weighing process and print out the
weighing result and transfer data.
3.1 Switching the balance on and off

Your balance is set in the factory so that it automatically switches to the weighing mode when you load a weight in the
standby mode.
On To switch the balance on, press the «On/Off» key briefly. As soon as the normal
Off
weight display appears, your balance is ready to weigh.
=00 g
Note
In section 4.14 you will learn how to perform a display test in which all segments
of the display light up briefly when you switch on the balance.
On To switch the balance off, press the «On/Off» key and keep it pressed until the
Off
message “OFF” appears in the display.
OFF
long
After it has been switched off, your balance is in the standby mode. If you wish
to perform a weighing, you need now only place the sample on the weighing pan
and the balance immediately displays the result. There is no need to switch it on
with the «On/Off» key (see also section 4.14). (This function is inoperative with
certified balances.)
As your balance needs no warm-up time when in the standby mode and is
immediately ready for weighing, we advise you to switch the instrument off only
by use of the «On/Off» key and not to disconnect it from the power supply. This
also ensures that the balance is always in thermal equilibrium.
14
3.2 Taring the balance

The weight of any weighing container can be “tared” at a keystroke to set the display to zero. The taring range covers the
entire weighing range of your balance.
If you wish to tare a container, place it on the weighing pan.
Close all draft shield doors (if draft shield used).
Press the «#» key briefly to start the taring operation.
Taring runs automatically. If you tare the balance when it is unstable, the taring
procedure will be shown in the display by horizontal segments.
------
On completion of taring, the zero display appears and your balance is ready for
weighing.
=00 g
Taring can be aborted by pressing the «#» key again when the balance
is in an unstable (not yet tared) condition.

3.4 Weighing with the analog display – DeltaTrac
DeltaTrac is a dynamic graphic indicator which shows the weighing range in use
and that still available. You can thus recognize at a glance when the load on the
balance approaches the maximum capacity.
0 % in use 15 % in use
55 % in use 95 % in use
Note
You can use the «“» key to switch from the dynamic graphic indicator to a
display with two pointers and two tolerance marks (for percent weighing). This
enables you to determine the position of the weighing result in regard to the target
weight quicker (see section 5.2). The tolerance range is ±2.5 % of the target
Weight within tolerance
weight. The setting of this tolerance range is fixed and can be changed only via
the interface.

3.5 DeltaRange® balances with movable fine range

METTLER TOLEDO DeltaRange® balances have a movable fine range with 10 times higher readability. An additional
decimal place always appears in the display of this fine range. Thanks to the DeltaRange function, you have the possibility
to weigh small amounts of samples into heavy weighing containers.
The illustration opposite shows the principle of the movable fine range in which
one extra decimal place is shown (in this example, the movable fine range
10 mg 1 mgmg
0.1 10 mg
encompasses 100 grams).
100 g
0g 510 g
After the balance has been switched on, METTLER TOLEDO DeltaRange®
balances operate in the fine range as standard.
=000 g
If the fine range in the display is exceeded, the balance display automatically
switches to the lower readability.
11=56 g
However, the fine range can always be recalled by taring the balance again.
=000 g
3.6 Faster weighing with lower readability

Your balance allows you to lower the readability (number of decimal places) at any time and thus accelerate the weighing
process:
The balance is operating with normal readability and speed.

Note
40=62 g
The number of decimal places which are displayed with normal readability
depends on the balance model, the weighing range and the selected weighing
unit.

Notes
If an additional unit (e.g. “%” or “PCS”) is displayed when switching between the
two weighing units, you have preselected a function in the menu. You will find
further information on the functions in sections 4.6 and 5.1 through 5.4.
The following weighing units are set in the factory:
For PG-S balances with 1 mg readability
Weighing unit 1: g (grams)
Weighing unit 2: mg (milligrams)
For PG-S balances with 10 mg readability
Weighing unit 1 : g (grams)
Weighing unit 2 : g (grams)
You will find a table of the conversion factors between the various weighing units
in section 8.2.
3.8 Printing out the weighing result and transferring data

If your balance is connected to a printer via the RS232C interface or via the LocalCAN universal interface, you can transfer
current weighing results, identifications and other data to the attached device with a single keystroke.
Press the «±» key briefly. As soon as the weighing result is stable, the status indicator of the readability fades and the
result is transferred to the attached device.

Semi-automatic adjustment (calibration)

If your balance is outside the adjustment tolerance and depending on whether
you have set the automatic adjustment call-up in the menu (see section 4.5),
the balance uses a flashing «Cal» in the display to prompt you to adjust
(calibrate) with the internal weight at a keystroke. With certified balances, the
adjustment (calibration) with the internal weight is performed automatically in
accordance with the national weights and measures legislation. An adjustment
(calibration) with external weights is not allowed by the weights and measures
legislation.
If you wish to adjust your balance with an internal weight, proceed as follows:
Make sure that “FACT” or the “Adjustment (calibration) with internal weight
(Cal int)” is selected in the menu (see section 4.4).

built-in weight or with external weights. In the factory setting, the balance is set to adjustment with the internal weight, which
you are already familiar with from section 2.5.
If you wish to adjust your balance with external weights, proceed as follows:*
* The adjustment (calibration) with external weights is not possible with
certified balances.
Make sure that “Adjustment (calibration) with external weights (VariCal)”
is selected in the menu (see section 4.4).
Ensure that the weighing pan is unloaded and close the doors of the draft shield.
There is no need to tare the balance before the adjustment (calibration).

6.2 Preventive maintenance and care

Servicing
Regular servicing of your balance by an authorized service engineer ensures constant accuracy for years to come and
prolongs the lifetime of the instrument. Ask your METTLER TOLEDO dealer for details of the available service options.
Cleaning
The balance housing and the weighing pan are made of high-grade, resistant
materials. All commercially available cleaning agents may thus be used for
cleaning.
PG-S 13
PG-S balances can best be cleaned with a damp cloth.
54
6.3 Changing the protective cover

If you operate your balance in an environment liable to cause contamination, we
recommend you cover it with the supplied transparent protective cover for the
keypad and display.
Contaminated protective covers of all balance models can be changed, see
Optional equipment in section 7.3.
Cleaning beneath the weighing pan

– Remove the weighing pan, the weighing pan support and the draft shield
element.
– Remove the knurled screws and the fastening plate, as well as the protective
cover (if used).
– You can now clean the dirty parts under running water.

retrofit your PG-S balance with the LocalCAN universal interface (see section
6.5).
You will find a detailed description of the available interface commands in the
enclosed brochure “Reference manual MT-SICS”.
55
6.5 LocalCAN universal interface

As an option, your PG-S balance can be retrofitted with a LocalCAN universal interface. As you can attach up to five
peripheral units at the same time, it offers you a high degree of flexibility in data interchange.
Peripheral units (see section 7.3) from METTLER TOLEDO which have the connection cable as part of their standard
equipment can be attached in a simple manner to the balance.
The communication is particularly well supported by the commands of the standard and extended command set. The
reference manual (705184) that you received with the LC-RS or LC-CL cable describes the functioning of these commands
in an easily surveyed manner.
The features and benefits of the LocalCAN universal interface can be summarized
as follows:
– Attachment of up to five peripheral units to a balance at the same time.
– Support of standard interfaces such as RS232C or CL.
– Rugged, 4-pin connector with reversed voltage and pullout protection.
– Dependable data transfer thanks to built-in CAN controller.
– Open cabling system, i.e. each peripheral unit except auxiliary displays have
an additional connection.
– Simple configuration of the parameters without recourse to the operating
PG-S 15 instructions of the PG-S balance.
The versatile features of the PG-S balances regarding documentation of the
results can not be utilized to the full until a printer, e.g. the LC-P45 from METTLER
TOLEDO is attached. The printed results make a decisive contribution to a simple
working procedure following GLP/GMP.

8.3 SOP (Standard Operating Procedure)

In the documentation of a GLP test, the SOPs represent a relatively small but none the less very important part.
Practical experience has confirmed that SOPs produced in-house can be followed much better than those produced by
an external, anonymous source.
In what follows , you will find a brief overview of the responsibilities in regard to SOPs, as well as a check list for the
production of an SOP.
Responsibilities in regard to SOPs
Head of the inspection and test arranges the production of SOPs

equipment approves SOPs with date and signature
Test director ensures that SOPs are available

approves SOPs on behalf of the management
Personnel follow the SOPs and other directives
GLP quality assurance checks that valid SOPs are available

checks that SOPs are followed
checks whether and how modifications are documented
Appendix
