1.1 IntroductionThankyouforchoosingaMETTLERTOLEDObalance.

ExcellenceprecisionbalancesandplatformsforuseinZone2hazardousareascombineahostofweighingandsettingpossibilitieswithuncommonoperatingcomfort.WiththesebalancessoftwareupdatescanbedownloadedfromtheInternetandloadedintothebalance.TheseoperatinginstructionsapplytoallbalancesandweighingplatformsoftheXS/X-Ex2lineofprecisionbalances.However,thedifferentmodelshavedifferentcharacteristicsregardingequipmentandperformance.Specialnotesinthetextindicatewherethismakesadifferencetooperation.

1.2 Introducing the XS-Ex2 precision balances and X-Ex2 weighing platformsTheX/XS-Ex2familyofprecisionbalancescomprisesarangeofprecisionbalanceswhichdifferfromeachotherinrelationtotheirweighingrangeandresolution.ThefollowingfeaturesarecommontoallmodelsoftheX/XS-Ex2lines:

– Typeofprotection:EExnLforuseinZone2hazardousareas

– Fullyautomaticadjustment“FACT”usinginternalweight.

– IntegralRS232Cinterface.

– Built-inapplicationsfornormalweighing,statistics,formulation,piececounting,percentweighing,density, dynamicweighingandLabXClient.(XS-Ex2modelsonly)

– Touch-sensitivegraphicsterminal(“TouchScreen”)(XS-Ex2modelsonly)

Abriefwordaboutstandards,guidelines,andmethodsofqualityassurance:TheXS/X-Ex2precisionbalancesandplatformsconformtocurrentstandardsandguidelines.Theysupportstandardprocedures,specifications,workingmethods,andreportsaccordingtoGLP(GoodLaboratoryPractice),andallowthecreationofSOPs(StandardOperatingProcedure).Inthisconnection,recordsofworkingpro-ceduresandadjustmentsbecomeveryimportant;forthispurposewerecommendyoutouseaprinterfromtheMETTLERTOLEDOrange,sincetheseareoptimallyadaptedtoyourbalance.TheXS/X-Ex2precisionbalancesandplatformsconformtoallapplicablenormsandguidelinesandhaveanEUdeclarationofconformity.METTLERTOLEDOiscertifiedinaccordancewithISO9001andISO14001.

1.3 Conventions and symbols used in these operating instructionsThefollowingconventionsapplythroughouttheseoperatinginstructions:

– Keydesignationsareindicatedbydoubleangularparentheses(e.g.«On/Off»or«E»).

Thesesymbolsindicatesafetynotesandhazardwarningswhich,ifignored,cancausepersonaldangertotheuser,damagetothebalanceorotherequipment,ormalfunction-ingofthebalance.

Thissymbolindicatesadditionalinformationandnotes.Thesemakeworkingwithyourbalanceeasier,aswellasensuringthatyouuseitcorrectlyandeconomically.

Cautionary notes regarding installation and operation in the Ex hazardous area, zone 2:

– Theinstallationmaybeperformedonlybyaqualifiedelectricianasdescribedinthisinstallationinforma-tion.

– Checkwhetherspecialclothingorspecialtoolsareneededforworkinthehazardousareaoftheend-userandthenwearorusetheseifrequired.

– Findoutwhethertheuseofcertainelectronicdevices(cellphones,computers,etc.) isprohibitedinthehazardousareaoftheend-user,andthenfollowtheseregulations.

– Establishingandseparatingtheconnectionstothepowersupplyareexclusivelythetaskoftheelectrician(s)oftheenduser.

– Anymodificationstothebalance/weighingplatformandACadapter,aswellasrepairstotheassemblies,areprohibited.Theseactionsendangerthesafetyofthesystem,resultinlossoftheExApproval,andnullifyanywarrantyandproductliabilityclaims.

– ServiceworkandrepairsmaybeperformedonlybypersonnelauthorizedbyMETTLERTOLEDO.

– Theclassificationaszone2mustbeconfirmedbytheregulatorybodyofyourprofession.

– CheckthatthebalanceandACadapterareinperfectconditionbeforeputtingintooperationforthefirsttimeandatleastevery3years.

1.4 Cautionary notes – Intended useAlwaysoperateanduseyourbalanceonlyinaccordancewiththeinstructionscontainedinthismanual.Pleasefollowtheinstructionsforcommissioningyournewbalance/weighingplatformcarefully.

If the instrument is not installed and used in accordance with these operating instructions, the protection provided the instrument and the safety will be impaired.

– Foruseonlyinclosedandcleaninteriorrooms

13.4.3 Recording statistics of dynamic weighingSettings

To record statistics of dynamic weighing, the statistics function must be activated (Sec-tion13.3.12).Youshouldalsoactivatethefunctionkeysshownatleft(Section13.3.2).

Using the statistics

Withthestatisticsfunctionactivated,allweighingresultsareautomaticallytransferredtothestatistics(upto999values).Ifanincorrectresultisincludedinthestatisticsbymistake,youcanremoveitwiththe“CL Last”functionkey.However,youcanonlyremovethe last result thatwas included.Afteryouhave removed the incorrect result, thekeybecomesinactiveandonlyfunctionsagainafterthenextresulthasbeentransferredtothestatistics.
