Do not miss out on the benefits of our full warranty. Please contact your local Sartorius office, dealer or paint supplier for further information.

Choose a suitable place to set up the scale. Avoid exposure to drafts, heat, moisture and Vibration.

Do not operate equipment in a hazardous area or location.

Check that the voltage rating of the AC adapter matches-that of your local line voltage (mains supply).

lf it does not match your local line voltage, contact your Sartorius office or dealer. Use only original Sartorius AC adapters!

Connect the scale to AC power.

lf necessary, ground the scale by connecting an equipotent-tial bonding conductor to the terminal (11 ).

After connecting the scale to AC power, wait approx. 30 minutes for it to warm up.

Operating the Scale

Turn on the scale using the key (1).

After the scale has been turned on, it will automatically run a self-test. At the end of this fest. 0.0 g is displayed.

lf a different readout is displayed, zero or tare the scale using the key (2).

Weighing with One Decimal Place Place an empty paint can on the weighing pan (12). Press (2). The display shows "0.0 g." Pour in the first component, and read off the weight as soon as the stability symbol appears; in this case, "g." Pour in additional components until the desired weight of your formula is reached. Remove the filled paint can from the weighing pan. Never use a hammer to dose the lid of a paint can while it is still on the weighing an. Otherwise, you will damage the weighing System.

Weighing with Two Decimal Places on the PMA7500D-000C

Press the key (3). The display shows "0.00 g."

Place an empty paint can on the weighing pan (12).

Press the key (2). The display shows "0.00 g." Pour in the first component: 205.50 g. Read off the weight as soon as the stability symbol appears; in this case, "g." Pour in additional components until the desired weight of your formula is reached. Remove the filled paint can from the weighing pan. Important Note: lf you zero the display by pressing the tare key, and then press the key (3) to toggle to the second decimal place with a resolution of 0.05 g, you can continue weighing up to 999.95 g.

Weighing Using the Recalculation Mode Lets suppose that you poured in too much of one color component for a given formula (e.g., 4 components). In addition, lets assume that you previously poured in all of the other amounts exactly according to each of the values you entered and stored by pressing the [MEM] key (7). Use the correction keys, (8] and (9) to correct the weight displayed to the same value you entered. Since you over poured in this case. press the (8) to decrease the readout. Now the recalculation mode is started. "C" flashes on the display. The scale automatically calculates and displays the amounts in "g" to add for each of the other components that you already poured in, so that the total result of your formula for these components will be correct. After pouring in these amounts, you can continue to add the remaining components of your formula. Important Note: You can correct an incorrect amount any number of times. However, the total (liter) quantity in the paint can will increase each time you correct a component. Therefore, press the [REC] key (6) to check how much the total quantity (in liters) will be. The arrow on the display means that the weight shown is not verified for use in legal metrology (not legal for trade].

Example:

1. Place an empty paint can 2. Press the (2) key. 3. Pour in the 1st component on the weighing pan (12) + 118,0 g 0,0 g + 50,0 g

4. Press the [MEM] key (7). 5. Pour in the 2nd component. 6. Press the [MEM] key (7). ST 01 + 110,0 g ST 02

7. Pour in the 3rd component. 8. Press the key (8) to 9. Press the key (8) to start the recalculation correct the value to: + 203,0 g mode. Oops! You poured in A “C” = correct + 200,0 g too much flashes on the display. The correct weight for the formula is200.0 g

10. Press the [MEM] key (7). 11. Add the 1st component 12. Pour in until 0.0 g is “C1” flashes on the display displayed. ST 03 - 1,7 g 0,0 g

13. Press the [MEM] key (7). 14. Pour in the 2nd 15. Pour in component until component;”C2” flashes 0.0 g is displayed. ST 01 on the display. 0.0 g - 2.0 g

16. Press the [MEM] key (7); 17. Press the [REC] key (6) to 18. Pour in the 3rd the scale now check what the total component. automatically returns weight will be + 1000,0 g to the formula weighing “A” = Amount We have come to the end mode (displayed in liters) of our example. + 200,0 g A 1,03 Formulation Mode (Calculation by a Factor) This mode enables you to weigh in amounts that are smaller or larger than that of your basic formula for a specific paint color (e.g., 250 ml of a 1-L formula), without having to do any manual recalculation.

You can select various factors (amounts) by pressing the formulation key (4): 0,25 0,5 0,75 1,0 1,5 2,0 2,5 3,0 3,5 4,0 4,5 5,0.

As you pour in the components of your formula, the weight is displayed in "g." Important Note: The flashing arrow on the display means that the weight shown is not verified for use in legal metrology (not legal for trade). Example: Lets suppose you want to weigh only 250 ml of a basic formula that is for a total amount of 1 L. With the recalculation mode, you do not need to manually recalculate the individual components. The basic formula for 1 liter is: 250 g green paint + 250 g red paint + 500 g blue paint Total: 1000 g

According to the display, exactly 1,000 g was poured in, but the paint can actually contains only 250 g by weight according to the factor you selected, .25. Follow the same procedure for any other conversion factor or to convert a 1-gallon formula into quarts. Calibration/Adjustment

You can calibrate/adjust the scale by pressing the key (2). To do so, menu code 1 5 1 must be selected. Calibration weight: 5,000 g; accuracy: 5000 g ±0.3 g.
