Safety notes WARNING Danger of death or serious injury due to electric shock! Contact with parts that contain a live current can lead to injury and death. If the device cannot be shut down in an emergency situations, people can be injured or the device can be damaged. 1 Only use the supplied three-core power cable with equipment grounding conductor to connect your device. 2 Check that the voltage printed on it is the same as your local power supply voltage.
CAUTION Danger of injuries due to splashing liquids! Splashing liquids because of remaining pressure in dosing head. If you don't release the pressure of the dosing head, liquid might splash when opening dosing head or removing liquid tube. 1 Always release pressure of dosing head by switching off the instrument before removing liquid tube. 2 Wear protective glasses. NOTICE Environment Only use indoors in dry locations. NOTICE Danger of damage to the device! Never open the device.
2 Design and Function 2.1 Dosing head Liquid dosing head This is the standard head for liquid dosing. It is used together with pump module and bottle. Manual dosing head The manual dosing head is used for manual powder dosing. It is equipped with a integrated RFID tag to store substance data and to provide printing data. Functional description As soon as a head is inserted, the instrument automatically reads the data of the head.
2.2 Data stored in the dosing head’s RFID Every dosing head is equipped with a integrated RFID tag (1) which stores and exchanges data with the instrument. The following data is stored in the RFID tag of the head: • • User data This block holds information about the substance such as the name of the substance, the filling and expiry dates, the quantity, etc.
3 Installation and Putting into Operation Additional information about this instrument can be found in the Operating Instructions on the CD-ROM or online. Finding more information u www.mt.com/quantos The instrument is installed by METTLER TOLEDO service engineers. This includes the wiring as well as the configuration of the interfaces and peripherals. 3.1 Scope of delivery Liquid module Check the delivery for completeness.
3.3 Assembling the liquid module Assemble the balance according to your XPE Operating Instructions. 1 Remove top glass (1) by sliding it backwards and pulling it upwards (2) carefully. 1 2 2 Insert the liquid kit (1), pull 2 levers (2) towards you and slide liquid kit onto the rack. Note CAN-connector is on bottom of liquid kit. 1 3 To fix position of liquid kit, release 2 levers (2) and move liquid kit slightly. ð Liquid kit locks down. ð Liquid kit is mounted.
− Mount pump module and bottle according to figure. Inserting and removing liquid dosing head in and from the liquid dosing head support CAUTION Danger of injuries due to splashing liquids or substances! The bottle stands during use under 0.5 bar (7 psi) pressure. Liquid splashing out might harm the user and can damage the device. 1 Do not remove tubes under pressure. 2 Relieve pressure by switching off the insrument, pull out the tube. 1 Insert liquid dosing head in the liquid dosing head support.
3.4.1 Connecting the tubes Connectors of pump module Power Supply RS232C To Bottle CAN Inlet Pump CAN Exhaust The thinner tube is used for transporting liquid from the bottle to the liquid dosing head. The slightly bigger tube is used for pumping air into the bottle. By adding air, pressure rises in the bottle. When pressure reaches min. 0.3 to max 0.5 bar (4.4 to 7.2 psi) the micro dispensing valve in the dosing head opens and liquid can ascend the liquid tube.
− Connect the air tube (4) at the air inlet of the bottle (5) and the air outlet of the pump module (6). 5 4 7 6 Remove air tube 1 Remove air tube to the bottle (4) by firmly press lay down the ring (8) at the air inlet (5). 5 8 4 2 Remove the air tubing of the bottle (8) and only if necessary of the pump module by pushing the ring (9). 7 9 6 Use the pump with protective gas WARNING Damage of pump because of high pressure! If you need to feed the pump with protective gas, e.g.
1 Insert muffler (10) into air inlet (11) to absorb noise. 2 If you need to feed the pump with protective gas, e.g. nitrogen, make sure it does not exceed the pressure range of 0.2 bar (2.9 psi). Wear protective glasses. Do not insert the muffler (11) but instead connect a tube to the air inlet (11). Note Outer tube diameter: 6 mm Pressure range: 0.1 to 0.2 bar (1.5 to 2.
Removing liquid dosing head from liquid kit − To remove the liquid dosing head, press it slightly upwards and remove it to the front. 3.6 Connecting the tubes Connectors of pump module Power Supply To Bottle RS232C CAN Inlet Pump CAN Exhaust 1 WARNING Contaminated air! If you use toxic, explosive or flammable liquids, the exhaust air will be contaminated and the device can get damaged. Connect a tube to exhaust air outlet to absorb the air into a safe container.
3.7 Wiring the liquid module WARNING Danger of death or serious injury due to electric shock! Contact with parts that contain a live current can lead to injury and death. If the instrument cannot be shut down in an emergency situations, people can be injured or the instrument can be damaged. 1 To connect the pump module, only use the supplied three-core power cable with equipment grounding conductor. 2 Only connect the pump module to a three-pin power socket with earthing contact.
Connectors of pump module Power Supply RS232C To Bottle CAN Inlet Pump CAN Exhaust Note Power supply and RS232C Connector are covered with a faceplate. Remove faceplate. 1 Connect pump module with liquid kit via CAN-cable. There are 2 CAN-connectors on the pump module. There is no preference which one to take. 2 Remove left side glass and exchange one clip with the cable clip included in the scope of delivery. 3 Guide CAN-cable through cable clip and insert left side glass.
1 Connect power cable of liquid module to power socket and local power supply. 2 Connect power cable of balance to power socket and local power supply.
