— Set of brief instructions
— Instruction manual entitled "Installation and Oper-
ating Instructions"
Installations Instructions
Your Sartorius Scale will provide accurate readouts even
when it is exposed to unfavorable conditions.
However, exposure to intensive heat radiation, vibrations
and drafts may affect the weighing accuracy and should
be avoided äs much as possible.
You can adapt the scale to your requirements simply
by changing the menu code settings in the scale
operating program.
For more information, see pages 23 through 29.

7
Startup
Place the weighing platform (5) on the scale.
Connecting the Scale to AC Power
The scale is energized by an external power supply.
Make sure that the voltage rating printed on this unit is
identical to your local voltage rating.
lf the voltage specified on the label or the plug design of
the power supply does not match the rating or Standard
you use, please contact your Sartorius Office or dealer.
Insert the right-angle plug of the power supply in the AC
jack as shown in the picture on the left. Tighten the screw
by hand.
The IP 65 protection rating is guaranteed only if a
rubber gasket is instalied and the plug is securely
connected to form a leak-tight seal.
Then plug the power supply into a wall outlet.
Important Note:
Only use original Sartorius Power Supplies identified by
the Sartorius label. Use of power supplies from other
manufacturers, even if these units have a registered
approval rating from a national testing laboratory, requires
the consent of a certified Sartorius service technician.

8
Connecting Electronic Devices (Peripherals)
Make sure to unplug the power supply from the wall outlet
or from the scale before you connect or disconnect a
peripheral device (printer or PC) to or from the interface
port (Option).
Safety Precautions
The power supply rated to Class 2 (double insulation) can
be plugged into a wall outlet without taking any additional
safety precautions. The pole (ground) of the Output
voltage is connected to the scale housing (metallic parts),
which can be grounded for Operation.
The interface (see "Interfacing Devices" on page 33 in
addition) is also electrically connected to the scale hous-
ing (ground).

9
How to Operate the Scale
After initially connecting the scale to line power, allow
for at least 30 minutes' warmup.
Turning the Display On and Off
Press the ON/OFF key (8) to turn the display on or off.
Self-Test
After the scale is turned on, an automatic self-test of the
scale's electronic circuitry is performed. During this test,
all segments briefly appear in the display (full-segment
display test).
lt ends with the readout of all set parameters.
Taring
lf you wish to use a Container of if the weight display does
not indicate "0.0 g/0 g" (or the equivalent with the weight
unit of your choice), press the tare key before weighing.

10
The zero symbol (with arrows) ->0<- in the weight display
shows that the scale has been exactly tared so the display
reads "0".
Weighing
Place your sample on the weighing platform (5) to deter-
mine the weight.
Read off the weight indicated in the display (7) as soon as
the motion detection symbol "~" above the plus/minus
sign disappears.
In addition to grams, this scale gives you a variety of
other menu-definable weight unit options.
Select the weight unit you desire from the fable on
page 26 and change the code in the scale operating
program (for this purpose, see pages 23 through 29).
Auto Zero
This scale has an automatic zero tracking function, known
as "Auto Zero" (can be turned off by menu code - see
"Scale Operating Program").
Any changes off zero <± 0.5 digit per second will be set to
zero automatically.

11
Over/Under Checkweighing
Over/under checkweighing allows you to sort and classify
products according to preset limits.
"Classification" means sorting samples based on their
weight into classes with defined weight ranges.
RED/GREEN/YELLOW Indicators
The RED/GREEN/YELLOW indicators are convenient
visual aids.
When you weigh the object to be checked, one of these
color-coded indicators will light up to indicate the Status of
the sample as follows:
RED = the sample is underweight
GREEN = the sample is o.k. and within the
preselected tolerance range
Yellow = the sample is overweight
Wide Range Analog Indicator (Bar Graph)
At the same time, the wide range analog indicator, a bar
graph, gives you additional information on your sample.
The digital readout shows you the difference of the weight
of your sample from the target weight (depending on the
menu code set in the scale operating program) and the
bar graph helps you weigh-in accurately.
In addition, you can define the mode of this wide band
analog indicator to best meet your requirements.

12
For example, for a target weight of 100 g, you can choose
between
— a continuous bar graph that travels from the left to the
right (for determination of a sample weight)
— a bar graph with a zero point = target weight
(for determination of the difference in weight)
— and a "traveling marker."
The bar graph mentioned above can be shown in the
following user-selectable application modes for the weight
display. Depending on your choice of the display mode,
set the appropriate menu code in the scale operating
program (see pages 23 through 29).

Changing Product Data
You can change and store the following for 12 different
products:
— the product ID number (1...12)
— the target weight
— the scale divisions in the display
— the lower and
— the upper tolerance limits.
These data are stored in a non-volatile memory so you do
not have to worry about a power outage.
The new product data are then available under the corre-
sponding product ID numbers.

15
How to activate a product data function:
Press the key (8) to turn the scale on.
Clear the weighing platform.
With the scale turned off, hold down the key (13) and
briefly press the key (8).
When the readout is displayed, release the key (13).

Please keep in mind that all data stored under this ID
number will be deleted if you change the ID number.
The # symbol will flash in front of the product number
selected.
Use the key to increase the number or the key to
decrease the number;
press the key labeled to store the selected number.
The program will automatically change to the next pa-
rameter.

16
Changing the Target Weight
The target weight depends on the menu code setting in
the scale operating program.
You can enter the target weight either by storing the
weight of a sample on the platform or by numeric entry.
The following menu codes can be set in the scale operat-
ing program:
Code
1 1 1 Only target weight by loading sample; retain
same setting for over/under tolerance limits
1 1 2 Target weight by loading sample;
over/under limits by loading underweight and
overweight samples
1 1 3 Target weight by loading sample;over/under
limits by numeric entries using keys
1 1 4 Not assigned
1 1 5 Only target weight by numeric entry using
keys; retain same setting for over/under
tolerance limits
1 1 6 Target weight by numeric entry using keys;
over/under limits by loading underweight and
overweight samples
1 1 7 Target weight by numeric entry using keys;
over/under limits by numeric entries using keys
At the factory, we have set code 1 1 3.
lf necessary, you can change this setting. To do so,
please read pages 23 through 29.

17
How to enter a target weight using a sample on the
weighing platform:
— Clear the weighing platform
— Press the key to tare the scale
— Place your sample on the platform (if you do not
place a sample on the weighing platform, the pre-
vious weight will be stored)
— Press the key to store the weight.
Entering a numeric value for the target weight:
Five digits appear in the display - the last digit flashes.
— Press the key to select the digit you wish to
change.
— Press the key to change the flashing digit.
— To store the target weight you have entered,
press the key. The program will automatically
change to the next parameter (scale divisions in
the display).
The error message "E3" will appear if:
— the value of the target weight is negative, or
— the value entered is too large.

18
Changing the Scale Divisions in the Display
lf you do not wish to change the tolerance limits, it is not
necessary to change the scale divisions
(codes 1 1 5, 1 1 1). In this case, the scale will skip the
following steps.
The user-definable scale divisions in the display allow you
to spot off-weights easily.
Depending on the expected off-weights of the samples to
be checkweighed, you can expand the analog display by
selecting a lower number of the scale divisions.
Possible settings:
Weight unit
in »g±
Weight unit
in »kg±
TS 6100 B ± 20 g, ± 40 g,
± 80 g, ± 200 g
± 400 g, ± 800 g,

Press the keys labeled or each time to increase or
decrease the scale division settings.
To store a setting, press the key labeled ; the program
will automatically change to the next parameter (tolerance
limits).

19
Changing the "Under" Limit
Depending on the menu code setting in the scale operat-
ing program, you can enter the under limit either by stor-
ing the weight of a sample on the platform or by numerical
entry.
The following menu codes can be set in the scale operat-
ing program:
Code
1 1 1 Target weight by loading sample; retain same
setting for over/under tolerance limits
1 1 2 Target weight by loading sample;
over/under limits by loading underweight and
overweight samples
1 1 3 Target weight by loading sample; over/under
limits by numeric entries using keys
1 1 4 Not assigned
1 1 5 Target weight by numeric entry using keys;
retain same setting for over/under tolerance
limits
1 1 6 Target weight by numeric entry using keys;
over/under limits by loading underweight and
overweight samples
1 1 7 Target weight by numeric entry using keys;
over/under limits by numeric entries using keys
How to enter the under limit using an
underweight sample:
— Clear the weighing platform
— Press the key to tare the scale
— Place the sample on the platform and
— Press the key to store the weight.
How to enter a numeric value for the under limit:
The analog range for the under limit will flash.
Starting with the limit previously set, enter the "under" limit
as a deviation from the target weight.
— Use the keys labeled and to enter the limit.
— Press the key to store the numeric under-
weight you have just entered; the program will
automatically change to the next parameter.

20
Changing the “Over” Limit
Depending on the menu code setting in the scale operat-
ing program, you can enter the over limit in one of two
ways: either by storing the weight of a sample on the
platform or by a numeric entry (see "Changing the Under
Limit").
How to enter an over limit using an overweight sam-
ple:
— Clear the weighing platform
— Press the key to tare the scale
— Place your sample on the platform (at this point,
load the target weight and the tolerance weight to
obtain an overweight sample) and
— store the weight with the key.
How to enter a numeric value for an over limit:
The analog range for the over limit will flash.
Starting with the limit previously set, enter the over limit as
a deviation from the target weight.
— Use the keys labeled and to change the
value.
— To store the "over" weight you have just entered,
press the key.
This completes the entry of product data; the program will
automatically change to the weighing mode.
