Introduction
About this Guide
The M1100 Packing & Grading Scale, User’s Guide contains operating
instructions for the M1100 scale and describes in detail all basic
functions the user should be familiar with.
The M1100 Packing & Grading Scale, User’s Guide is divided into four
chapters:
• Chapter 1 Introduction
Description of the M1100 scale, its controls and indicators.
• Chapter 2 Basic Operation
Operating instructions and a description of the basic functions.
• Chapter 3 Advanced Functions
Instructions in how to use the Setup Mode for more advanced
functions.
• Chapter 4 Battery Operation
Instructions in how to operate the scale with battery power.
The guide also includes appendices with a list of error codes, printout
examples, network connections, and technical specifications, a glossary
and a comprehensive index.
Note: This guide describes all available functions on the M1100 scale.
Please note that the scale is supplied with an adjustment lock which, if
enabled, prevents the user changing certain calibration and configuration
parameters. In this case the description of some functions may not apply
to your scale.
A calibration instruction guide, M1100 Packing & Grading Scale,
Calibration Instructions, is available upon request.

The M1100 Scale
About the Scale
The M1100 is an easy to operate, general-purpose packing and grading
scale. The stainless steel enclosure is water-resistant (IP67) and easy to
clean. The scale is available in three basic versions:
• An M1100 indicator mounted on high pillars on a PLx platform
(xxxLx model). This version is also available with a battery option
(xxBLx model).
• An M1100 indicator mounted on short pillars on a PLx platform
(xxxSx model).
• An M1100 indicator with wall or table mountings (xxxNx model)
that can be connected to most weighing platforms with a strain gage
load cell.
Marine and land based
M1100 scales
All three models are available either as motion compensated marine scales
designed specially for use on board fishing vessels or as land based scales.
All models can be used with weighing platforms of various sizes. See
“Appendix D Technical Specifications” on page 43 for more details on
the different models.
Single or multiple range
weighing
The scale is available with a multiple range capability. The availability of
this option, however, depends on the platform type.
This user’s guide applies to the marine scale (M1100-U2) and the land
based scale (M1100-C2). Except for the marine calibration procedure
(see page 16), both types are operated in exactly the same way.
Packing Memories
Up to fifteen packing
memories and four units of
weight
The operator can program the scale with up to fifteen target weights in so-
called packing memories. Each target weight has its own definition of upper
and lower weight limits. Up to four different units of weight (kg, g, lb, or oz)
can be set for each target weight. The Config Display shows which of the
target weight memories, 1 to 15, is in use.
User’s Guide The M1100 Scale •5

Grading Memories
Five grading memories
with nine different grades
each
The scale also has five grading memories, each of which can be programmed
with 9 different grades. The grading memories can be used in three ways, for
normal, reverse, or positive grading (see “Grading Memory – Functions” on
page 23 for more details).
Multiple Range Weighing
Automatic change of
weighing ranges
The scale can be set up with a multiple range weighing option. With this
option the user can select to work with a fixed range or have the scale switch
automatically between the two ranges.
The automatic option is the scale’s default setting. The scale then switches
automatically from the lower range to the higher one when the weight on the
platform exceeds the maximum capacity of the lower range. See “Multiple
Range Operation” on page 21 for more details.
Initial Inspection
Prior to use, inspect the scale for damages incurred during shipment. If
the scale has been damaged, contact Marel hf. or your local Marel service
center immediately.
Installing the Scale
Before you apply power to the scale, check the following:
• Make sure that there are no foreign objects that can interfere with the
platform’s movements.
• The platform must be empty when you power-on the scale.
• The scale must be properly mounted on a stable, level and non-
vibrating foundation (land based scales only).
• Use the built-in spirit level to level the scale platform (land based
scales only).
• On scales with separate indicator and platform, make sure the cables
between indicator and platform do not move during weighing. This
ensures optimum performance.
