Sartorius Signum 3 Operating Instruction

With this application you can use
your weighing platform to measure the
length, surface and volume of parts
that have roughly the same specific
weight. The
o symbol is displayed
as the weight unit.
Features
Signum 3 only:
– Enter the reference weight “wRef”
via the keypad
Signum 3 only:
– Save the reference weight “wRef”
from the weighing platform
Signum 3 only:
– Enter the factor for calculation
“nRef” via the keypad
– Enter reference sample weight using
a bar code scanner
– Measure with two weighing platforms
– Activate info-mode by pressing I
– Toggle the display between measure-
ment and weight by pressing W
– Define the level of accuracy (display
resolution) applied when a calculated
reference value is saved
– Automatic taring of container weight.
Operating menu setting:
Appl: a.tare: 3.7.
(autotare first weight)
– Automatic initialization when the
Signum is switched on. The display
and control unit is initialized with
the most recently used calculation
factor “nRef” and reference weight
“wRef”. Operating menu setting:
Appl: a.start: 3.8.
(start app. with last values)
– Closing application program;
deleting parameters:
The value for reference sample weight
remains active in the reference memory
until you delete it by pressing the
c key, overwrite it or until you
select a different application. It also
remains saved after the scale has
been switched off.
Signum 3 only:
You can select the function of the
c key for clearing application data.
When an application is active, this key
can either delete the values saved
for all applications, or delete selected
values saved for the active application.
Operating menu setting:
Appl: sel.cf: 3.24.
(select CF key function in applications)
– Tare function:
1) If you store a tare (weight value) by
pressing the ) key, you can later
enter a tare value manually. The tare
value you enter is added to the stored
tare value.
Setting: menu code 3.25.1 (factory
default)
2) A tare value entered manually over-
writes a stored tare value (weight
value). If you enter a tare value manu-
ally, a tare value (weight value) stored
later overwrites the manually entered
value.
Setting: menu code 3.25.2
Operating menu setting:
Signum 2
Appl : nM : 3.25.
Signum 3
Appl : tare. f : 3.25.
– Restore factory default settings. Operat-
ing menu setting:
Signum 2:
Appl : nM : 9.1.
Signum 3:
Appl: DEF.App : 9.1.
In order to calculate the length,
surface or volume of a given sample,
the average weight of a reference
quantity of the sample must be known
(in the example below, the reference
is 1 meter of electrical cable). There are
three ways to enter the reference
weight in the program:
– Calculation:
– Place the reference quantity
(defined by the calculation factor)
on the connected weighing platform
and calculate the reference sample
weight by pressing the O key.
– Place any amount of the sample
material on the connected weighing
platform, enter the calculation
factor through the keypad, and
press the O key to calculate the
reference sample weight.
How the reference weight is calculated
depends on the application setting for
resolution. The value is either rounded
off in accordance with the display
resolution, or saved with 10-fold or
100-fold increased resolution, or with
the maximum internal resolution of
the weighing platform.
– Keypad input: Enter the reference
weight (i.e., the weight of one meter
of electrical cable) using the keypad
and press O to save it.
– Bar code: If the value is available in
bar code, you can use a bar code
scanner to enter the reference weight
The initial application values are valid
until deleted by pressing the c key,
or until overwritten by new values.
They also remain saved after you switch
off the scale.
