Page 5: Getting Started
Getting Started § Remove the scale from its packaging. § After unpacking the scale, check it immediately for any visible damage as a result of rough handling during shipment. Equipment Supplied – Scale – Weighing pan – Table adapter with country-specific mains cable – 2+ protective plugs (in the column) – Model PMA7501-000U only: USB data cable Setting Up the Scale Choose a suitable place to set up the scale. Avoid exposure to drafts, heat, moisture and vibration. Make sure to read the instructions carefully before °C connecting the scale to AC power. Observe the safety instructions and warnings in this manual. § Place the weighing pan on the scale. - Page 6 Connection to AC Power The equipment is powered through the AC adapter supplied § Insert the right-angle plug into the DC jack (13) on the scale § Connect the country-specific mains cable to the adapter § Plug the mains cable into an electrical AC power outlet Observe the safety instructions and warnings in this manual. Check that the voltage rating of the AC adapter matches that of your local line voltage (mains supply). If it does not match your local voltage rating or if the plug design differs from your local standard, contact your Sartorius office or dealer. Use only original Sartorius AC adapters. The use of AC adapters from other manufacturers, even if these units have a registered approval rat- ing from a national testing laboratory, requires the approval of a certified technician.

Weighing with One Decimal Place Place an empty paint can on the weighing pan. Press the tare key U (5). The display shows “0.0 g.” Pour in the first component, and read off the weight as soon as the stability symbol appears; in this case, “g.” Pour in additional components until the desired weight of your formula is reached. Remove the filled paint can from the weighing pan. Never use a hammer to close the lid of a paint can while it is still on the weighing pan. Otherwise, you will damage the weighing system. - Page 8 Weighing with Two Decimal Places Note: To weigh using two decimal places, you must first adapt the settings (refer to the chapter entitled “Menu Settings”) Press the toggle key I (6). The display shows “0.00 g.” Place an empty paint can on the weighing pan (11). Press the tare key U (5). The display shows “0.00 g.” Pour in the first component: 205.50 g. Read off the weight as soon as the stability symbol appears; in this case, “g.” Pour in additional components until the desired weight of your formula is reached. Remove the filled paint can from the weighing pan. Important Note: If you tare the scale, and then press the toggle key I (6) to toggle to the second decimal place with a resolution of 0.05 g, you can continue weighing with two decimal places up to 999.95 g. For weights exceeding 999.95 g, only one decimal place will be displayed. Never use a hammer to close the lid of a paint can while it is still on the weighing pan. Otherwise, you will damage the weighing system...

Page 9: Applications
Applications Formulation Mode (Calculation by a Factor) This mode enables you to weigh in amounts that are smaller or larger than that of your basic formula for a specific paint color (e.g., 250 ml of a 1-l formula). You can select various factors (amounts) by pressing the K formulation key (7): 0.25 0.5 0.75 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 4.5 5.0. By pressing the R key (3): upwards or S key (4): downwards, you can alter the value – in 0.1 increments, as of factor 1.0 or – 0.01 increments, from factor 0.25 to 1.0. Important Note: The flashing arrow on the display means that the weight shown is not verified for use in legal metrology (not legal for trade). Example: As you pour in the components of your formula, the weight is displayed in “g.” Let’s suppose you want to weigh only 250 ml of a basic formula that is for a total amount of 1 L. With the recalculation mode, you do not need to manually recalculate the individual components. - Page 10 3. “.25” is displayed next to the weight 4. Slowly pour in the first component, “250 g” until the display shows “250 g.” 5. Pour in the second component, “250 g” until the display shows “500 g.” 6. Pour in the last component, “500 g” until “1000 g” is displayed. We have come to the end of our example. According to the display, exactly 1,000 g was poured in, but the paint can actually contains only 250 g by weight according to the factor you selected, .25. Follow the same procedure for any other conversion factor or to convert a 1-gallon formula into quarts. Weighing Using the Recalculation Mode Let’s suppose that you poured in too much of one color component for a given formula (e.g., one consisting of 4 components). In addition, let’s assume that you previously poured in all of the other amounts exactly according to each of the values you entered and stored by pressing the L key [MEM] (9). Press the S key (4) to start the recalculation program. “C” will begin flashing on the display. To correct the weight displayed to the same value you entered for the given formula, either scroll upwards using the R key (3), or downwards using the S key (4). When you then press the L key [MEM] (9), the scale will automatically calculate and display the amounts of paint in “g” to add for each of the other components that you already poured in. This mode thus ensures that the total result of your formula for these components will be correct. After pouring in these amounts, you can continue to add the remaining components of your formula. Important Note: You can correct an incorrect amount any number of times. However, the total (liter) quantity in the paint can will increase each time you correct a component. Therefore, press the c key (8) to check how much the total quantity (in liters) will be. (“C” = correction factor) The arrow in the display means that the weight shown is not verified for use in legal metrology (not legal for trade).

Calibration/Adjustment You can calibrate/adjust the scale by pressing the tare key U (5). To do so, menu code 1 5 1 must be selected. Calibration weight: 5,000 g; accuracy: + 0.075 g. After connection to AC power and before each calibration/adjustment, allow the scale to warm up for approx. 30 min. Hold down the tare key U (5). for 2 sec. When 5000 is displayed, release the key. Center the calibration weight on the weighing pan (11). Calibration/adjustment is performed automatically. After calibration and adjustment, remove the weight. -
