Quick Six-Step Guide to ApplicationsCountingFamiliarize yourself with the capabilitiesof your Sartorius balance and start off bycounting identical parts. The balance will showyou the quantity and the total weight.12*Touch the menu key to access theselection mode for applications andselect “Counting”.Mixing**Say you have a formula and need to weighin various components quickly with 100%traceability, without losing track of the totalweight.Use the “Mixing” application.1Place the empty collection container onthe balance and tare it with D.2*Place the empty container on the balanceand tare the container weight with D.Touch the menu key to access the selectionmode for applications and select “Mixing”.Components**Do you need to compound componentsaccording to a formula, but don’t want tomix them immediately? With the application“Components” you can weigh the individualcomponents in different containers and querythe total weight at any time.12** To view videos of these applications, scan in our QR code or visithttp://www.sartorius.com/manual-secura** Available in Quintix and Secura Touch the menu key to access theselection mode for applications andselect “Components”.Place the first empty container on thebalance and tare it with D. Then weigh-incomponent 1 and save the value in thememory by touching v.

34Put the reference number of pieces(the default is: 10 pcs) into thecontainer and press w.35The number of reference pieces put in isdisplayed. Fill the entire quantity into thecontainer.4Fill the first component into thecontainer and save the componentby touching v.3The display of the balance shows thepiece count of the sample. Touch“Qnt”, to view the total weight.565Now place a new container on the balanceand tare it with D. You can then fill incomponent 2 and confirm with v.The total weight of the sample isdisplayed.If required, you can fill in additionalcomponents. Touch “Net1” to view thetotal weight.Fill the next component and save it bytouching v.4Remove the first sample from the balanceand the weight value will jump to anegative value.6The total weight is displayed.If required, you can fill in additionalcomponents.6Repeat this procedure to weigh-in anyadditional samples. To display the valueswhich have been added up touch “Net”.The sum of all components whichhave been saved will be displayed.

Statistics**Would you like to save statistics on an entiregroup of different samples?Your Sartorius balance will transfer thereadings to its statistics memory and generatea report on the key statistical parameters.12*Touch the menu key to access theselection mode for applications andselect “Statistics”.DensityDo you want to determine the density of asolid, irregularly-shaped object precisely?Use the application “Density” and theSartorius density determination kit to preciselycalculate, for example, the quality of partsmade of precious metals and plastics.Unstable ConditionsDo you have to weigh in an extremely unstableenvironment or measure the weight of aninquisitive little mouse that just won’t sitstill? With this application you can determinethe weight accurately and arrive at traceableresults.12Select whether the results should be printedout after each weighing process and whetherthe balance should be automatically taredafter saving the value and confirm yourselection by touching the checkmark.*First, install the Sartorius density kit on yourbalance with the help of the instructions.Touch the menu key and select “Density”.1Tare your balance. Touch the gray interfaceto set the mean density and the accuracy ofthe density measurement result.2** To view videos of these applications, scan in our QR code or visithttp://www.sartorius.com/manual-secura** Available in Quintix and Secura Touch the menu key to access theselection mode for applications andselect “Unstable Cond.”.Specify the number of subweighingoperations by touching the gray bar.

In the followingscreen, touch w.3Proceed in the same manner to weigh-infurther samples. To display the results,touch n.565Enter 15 measurements, for example,and confirm this by touching thecheckmark.Here you will see your results in theform of a report.Now place the material to be weighed inthe sample holder of the beaker with theliquid and touch v.Place the material to be weighed on theupper pan of the density kit in order todisplay the weight in air and press thekey v.4This number has been factory-set to fivemeasurements.Other values can be entered by touchingthe dots.6The balance displays the calculateddensity of the solid object.6Place the sample on the balance andpress w to commence weighing inan unstable environment.The results of the averaging aredisplayed.

Determination of the minimum sample quantityaccording to USP, Setting up of the SQminfunction (only Secura )Sartorius can offer to set up the SQmin function foryour balance.Sartorius Service will determine the permittedminimum sample quantity on the basis of thespecifications of your quality assurance system andwill store this value in the balance. The configurationof the SQmin function will be documented in acertificate (“Balance Test According to USP”).If you work with the SQmin function, the weightvalue will be compared with the default minimumsample quantity (SQmin Sample QuantityMinimum). In this way it is ensured that theweighing results are above the default minimumsample quantity.Weighing results which are below the SQmin willnot be output via the printer or the computer,depending upon the safety stage settings, and willappear, clearly marked, in the display of the balance.Using the SQmin function ensures that the weighingresults comply with the USP directives (USP UnitedStates Pharmacopeia).AccessoriesGeneral InformationBattery pack for standardlaboratory balancesCalibration WeightsYRB11ZDraft shield for modelswith readability of:1 mgYDS02SQP0.01 g 0.1 g 1 gYDS01SQPIn-use dust coverfor models with areadability of: 0.01 mgUpon request0.1 mg 1 mg6960SE010.01 g 0.1 g 1 g6960SE02Phone 49(0)551.308.0Fax atory Thermal TransferPrinter, GLP CompliantYDP30Printer paper for laboratoryprinters69Y03285Continuous labels forlaboratory printers69Y03286Standard Laboratory PrinterYDP40Printer paper for standardlaboratory printers69Y03287Data Cable for Mini USBDust cover for modelswith a readability of: 0.01 mgUpon request0.1 mg 1 mg6960SE03Density DeterminationDensity determinationkit for models with areadability of :Sartorius Lab Instruments GmbH & Co.
