Sartorius ME215 - Intended Use; General Information on ME and SE Models

ME and SE models are high-resolution
balances of special accuracy for
extremely precise measurement of mass.
These series cover a range from
0.001 mg to 610 g.
A broad range of special performance
features makes the ME and SE balances
ideal for use as measuring and test
equipment in ISO or GLP quality man-
agement systems.
These features include:
– The fully automatic self-calibrating
and adjustment function, isoCAL
(time- and temperature-dependent)
– reproTEST for quick determination of
the standard deviation to check the
repeatability of results
– ISO/GLP-compliant recording capability
for printouts
– Password-protected menu lock
– Display of maintenance |
service intervals when due
ME and SE balances meet the highest
requirements placed on the accuracy
and reliability of weighing results
through the following features:
– Efficient filtering-out of vibration
– Fully automatic draft shield with three
motorized, self-teaching draft shield
elements and soft-touch technology
– Stable and repeatable results
– Excellent readability under any
lighting conditions
– Rugged design and durable weighing
system
ME215/235/254/414/614:
– Integrated static electricity eliminator
feature to neutralize interfering electro-
static charges (ionizer)
ME and SE balances save work and
speed up both simple and complex
routine applications through:
– Ultrafast response times
Built-in application programs;
application level 1:
– Second weight unit
– Counting
– Weighing in percent

– Automatic initialization when you
switch on the balance
– Easy input of IDs for
samples or other weighed objects
– If requested: control using an
external computer
Symbols
The following symbols are used in
these instructions:
G indicates steps you must perform
$ indicates steps you must perform
only under certain conditions
> describes what happens after you
have performed a certain step

! indicates a hazard
Conventions Used in These
Operating Instructions:
– The pictures in these Operating
Instructions are based on the
ME215S model. On other models,
some display readouts and printouts
may differ slightly from the ones
shown. This will be explained in
cases where this is important for
operation of the balance.
