4.5 Introduction / Preparation of the balance
4.5.1 Introduction
In the event of a broken flexure, it is recommended that all flexures be replaced. The
following assembly instructions provide information on how the flexures can be
replaced most efficiently. It is important to employ a structured procedure for
dismantling since it is essential to replace the same parts (particularly screws) in the
same place when re-assembling.
The various items of the assembly instructions mean:
Component items.
[5/4.1]: Tooling items see “Service tools and equipment” in chapter 4.1.
Example: 3 nuts (24/2.6) means 3 nuts as Item 26 in chapter 2.6.

4.5.2 Preparation of the tools

Before dismantling the balance it is necessary to carry out some preparation of the
tools. 2 long [2/4.1.3] and 2 short [3/4.1.3] support posts must be screwed into the
correct places on the assembly plate [1/4.1.3] → see the drawing below and in
chapter 4.1.3.
The soldering iron should be plugged in or preheated.

MRS-SH-e-0811 53

small screwdriver.
2. Turn over the bottom of balance and unscrew the 3 nuts (24/2.6) on the
underside of the housing.
3. Hold the weighing cell only on the chassis and lift it out of the bottom of
housing.
4. The chassis can now be placed on the assembly plate for easier handling.
5. To protect the weighing cell, the two assembly jigs [7/4.1.3] + [8/4.1.3] are
introduced in accordance with the drawing see drawing in chapter 4.6.2 and
secured with the 4 assembly pins [9/4.1.3].
6. Assemble the two assembly jigs [7] + [8] and 4 assembly pins [9] in
accordance with the drawing in chapter 4.6.2.

4.6.3 Removing the flexure strap

1. Undo 2 screws (23/2.6), remove flexure strap (3/2.6) incl. bases (9/2.6)
and spring washers (26/2.6) → do not separate screw components,
assemble in same relationship!

in place of the flexure strap.

54 MRS-SH-e-0811
4.6.4 Removing the two flexure holders
1. Using the two pins for flexure holder [6/4.1.3] fix the upper flexure holder
(2/2.6) into the chassis.
2. Unscrew the 4 screws (22/2.6) of the upper flexure holder and remove
together with the 4 spring washers (26/2.6) → 2 on the chassis, 2 on the
support piece.
3. Remove the two pins with the upper flexure holder incl. 4 spring washers
and the flexure sheets, then take out the pins from the flexure holder.
4. Fix the lower flexure holder (2/2.6) into the chassis with the two pins for
flexure holder [6/4.1.3]. 5. Unscrew 4 screws (22/2.6) from the lower
flexure holder and remove together with the 4 spring washers → 2 on the
chassis, 2 on the support piece.
6. Take out both pins with the lower flexure holder and remove the lower flexure
holder together with the 4 spring washers and the flexure sheets.

4.6.5 Removing coil

1. Carefully unsolder 2 connecting wires (1/2.6) from the connecting board
(14/2.6) using the tweezers.
2. Unscrew 3 screws (21/2.6) from the magnet cover (8/2.6), remove the

pages.

MRS-SH-e-0811 63
4.10 Adjustments
4.10.1 Activation of the service mode

1. Push and hold simultaneously the TARE- and PRINT-key for approx. 10
sec. whilst switching on the balance after connected the power cable.
As soon „SET SERVICE MODE“ appears in the display, then release the
two keys.
2. Push the CHANGE-key . „CODE 0“ appears in the display.
3. Press ENTER-key. „CODE 0000“ appears in the display.
4. With the arrow keys insert the code „5236“ and confirm with the ENTER-
key.
5. The balance is now in service mode.

4.10.2 Adjusting of the symmetry

1. Connect the connecting cable [15/4.1.3] from the tool set to plug
(S3/4.10.1.1) on the main board. 2. Connect the voltmeter to the
connecting cable.
3. The voltmeter must show approximately the same voltage in the end
positions of the balance arm (one positive, one negative).
4. If the difference is too great, the position of the balance arm can be
adjusted with the symmetry screw.
5. Detach connecting cable and voltmeter from the balance.

4.10.3 Checking the pre-load

1. The pre-load error ERROR 60 (below minimal converter range) must not
appear when the service weighing pan is in position without load.
2. The pre-load error ERROR 61 (above maximal converter range) must not
appear when the service weighing pan is in position with full load.
3. If an ERROR is displayed, the symmetry must be re-adjusted and the
transport safety device adjusted from the start → see “Assembling the coil,
the magnet cover and the transport safety device” in chapter 4.9.2.

64 MRS-SH-e-0811
4.10.4 Adjusting of the corner load
1. Place the service weighing pan [3/4.1.2] on the balance.
2. Tare the balance with the TARE-key.
3. Check with a test weight for corner load → see “Final check” in chapter
4.10.12 the deviation between the two diagonals A-C and B-D → see next
page. The diagonal with the larger absolute deviation should be adjusted
first.
4. Adjustment of the corner load is effected by turning the screws (1 + 2) in
the direction of the arrow.

MRS-SH-e-0811 65
Example of corner load adjustment:
1. The diagonal A-C has the larger
difference.
2. Place a test weight at point C of the
weighing pan. Tare the balance
using the TARE-key.
3. Move the weight to point A.
4. There is a difference of 12 digits
between points A and C (A=12,
C=Tare=0).
5. The displayed value for point A is
reduced by turning the corner load
screw 1 above point A in a clockwise
direction → the difference between A-
C becomes smaller.
6. There is a difference of 7 digits
between points B and D (B=-7,
D=Tare=0).
7. The displayed value for point B is
reduced by turning the corner load
screw 2 above point B in an anti-
clockwise direction →the difference
between B-D becomes smaller.
8. The diagonals A-C and B-D should
be repeatedly adjusted until the two diagonals have reached the permitted
tolerances for corner load → see “Final check” in chapter 4.10.12.
9. Place a test weight on point Z of the weighing pan, tare balance using the
TARE-key. 10. Check the points A-B-C-D against the permitted tolerances
and correct if necessary.

MRS-SH-e-0811 67
4.10.9 S-correction of a balance
4.10.9.1 General notes on S-correction
• The balance must have reached its operating temperature and must be in
service mode.
• In every linearization of a balance the correction factor is deleted and must, if
necessary, be redefined.

4.10.9.2 Entry of the correction factor

1. lace a weight of 1/4 full load in the centre of the weighing pan, note the
difference between the actual weight and the weight indicated by the
balance.
2. lace a weight of 3/4 full load in the centre of the weighing pan, note the
difference between the actual weight and the weight indicated by the
balance.

4.10.9.3 Calculating the correction factor

• For the correction factor the sign of the measured value must be reversed.
• For example: + 4 digits were measured →- 4 digits must be entered.
• For example: - 2 digits were measured →+ 2 digits must be entered.
4.10.9.4 Entry of the correction factor

1. Press and hold down the CHANGE-key until "SCORRECTION"

appears on the Info-Display, then release the key.
2. Using the function-key F2 "SECTOR" the correction range Sa or Sb is
established.
3. Using the function-key F3 "UP" and F4 "DOWN" the chosen correction
factor is entered and set with the function-key F1 "SET".
4. Submit the balance to a further final check → see “Final check” in chapter
4.10.12.

4.10.10 Temperature linearization

1. The balance has to be set in service mode → see “Activation of the service
mode” (chapter 4.10.1)
2. The temperature-calibration set part-no. 350-8570 (page A2) needs to be
connected to the RS232 Interface, located at the back of the moisture
analyzer.
3. Put the temperature sensor of the temperature-calibration set into the
sample chamber.
4. Press and hold the CHANGE-key until the Info-Display shows „TEMP
LINEARISATION“, release the key.
5. Press the START/STOP-key , the temperature linearization starts now.
Note: Within the first two minutes, the room temperature will measured. After
that, the moisture analyzer heats up to 100°. The display indicates the

68 MRS-SH-e-0811
 temperature and the remaining time for the temperature linearization (the
time duration to heat up to 100°C, is 20 minutes). The moisture analyzer will
now adopt the temperature from temperature-calibration set. Afterwards the
moisture analyzer will heat up to 200°C which takes 20 minutes to reach. As
before, the moisture analyzer will again adopt the temperature from the
temperature-calibration set.
6. The temperature is now linearized and the temperature-calibration set can
now be disconnected. 7. Using the ON/OFF-key switch the balance off and
on, the service mode is now exited.

4.10.11 Configuration of the heat source

1. The balance must be set in service mode → see “Activation of the service
mode” in chapter 4.10.1.
2. Press and hold the CHANGE-key as long as in the Info-Display “HEA-
TER CONFIG.” appears → release the key.
