1 Introduction
Introduction
Compact scales
Avoid falling loads, shock loads as well as impacts from the side.
Depending on the connected weighing platform there are two basic versions of the ICS435
compact scales:
ICS435d-.../f ICS435 compact scale with strain gauge load cell
ICS435k-.../f ICS435 compact scale with MonoBloc load cell
The weighing platforms are available in three different sizes as shown below.
extra small weighing platform small weighing platform large weighing platform
Naming
The complete name of a compact scale also indicates the type, size and capacity of the
connected weighing platform. E.g., ICS435k-6SM/DR/M/f stands for
ICS435k ICS435 terminal, weighing platform with MonoBloc load cell
6 weighing capacity in kg
SM size of the weighing platform
DR if present: Delta Range weighing platform
M if present: weighing platform verified by the manufacturer
/f mechanical design: fixed connection
Interfaces
Default Optional
Further options
Exchangeable storage battery (IP54)
Built-in storage battery (IP65)
Bargraph
The device offers a bargraph indicating the scale capacity available.
The bargraph indicates roughly which part of the scale capacity is already occupied and
what capacity is still available.
In the example, approx. 3/4 of the scale capacity is occupied, although the applied net
weight isnt really high. The reason therefore could be a high tare weight.
The metrological data are stored in the weighing platform. The weighing terminal only
serves as indicator.

1.3 Commissioning
Only weighing platforms that have been levelled precisely horizontally provide accurate
weighing results. Weights and Measures approved weighing platforms have a spirit level
to simplify levelling.
Turn the adjustable feet of the weighing platform until the spirit levels air bubble is
inside the inner circle.
CAUTION
Risk of electric shock!
Before connecting the power supply, check whether the voltage value printed on the
rating plate corresponds to your local system voltage.
Do not under any circumstances connect the device if the voltage value on the rating
plate deviates from the local system voltage.
Make sure the weighing platform has reached room temperature before switching on
the power supply.
CAUTION
No success in charging the storage battery due to low temperatures!
Do not charge the battery if the battery temperature is below 0 C (32 F). Charging
is not possible in this temperature range.
Do not operate the battery charger outside its temperature range of 0 C to 40 C
(32F to 104F).
The characteristics mentioned above are only valid if the following recommendations are
observed:
Change the battery as soon as the warning message "Lowbattery" appears and the
battery symbol starts flashing. When the message appeares you still have enough
time (at least 10minutes) to complete your current task.
For optimum battery performance operate the device with built-in storage battery at an
ambient temperature in the range of 10 C to 30 C (50 F to 86 F). This applies to
discharging as well as charging the battery.
If you plan to put the scale out of operation for a longer period, charge the battery
completely.
Even if you do not use the instrument, charge the battery at least every 3months to
avoid deep discharge.
On devices with removable battery, remove the battery prior to long term storage.
Changing battery
2.
1.
1. Unlock the battery by moving the slider to the outside and remove the discharged
battery.
2. Insert the fully charged battery and secure it by moving the slider to the inside.
With optional IP65 protection, the battery is not accessible from the outside. Please call
the METTLER TOLEDO service technician.
2.1.2 Resetting
Press and hold for approx. 5 seconds.
The device is reset and will operate with the last saved settings.
When in the Terminal menu Unit roll is set to On, the weight value can be
displayed in all available weight units by repeatedly pressing .
Zeroing corrects the influence of slight changes on the load plate or minor deviations from
the zero point.
Automatic In case of non-verified scales, the automatic zero point correction can be deactivated in
the menu or the zero range can be changed. Approved scales are set fixed to 0.5 d.
By default, the zero point of the scale is automatically corrected when the scale is unloaded.
2.5.1 Taring
Place the empty container on the scale and press .
The zero display and the symbol NET appear.
The tare weight remains stored until it is cleared.
If the symbol is displayed, i.e., the A-Clear Tare function is activated in the
menu under Scale -> Tare, the tare weight is automatically cleared as soon as the
scale is unloaded.
Prerequisite
99 The symbol is displayed, i.e., the tare function A-Clear Tare is activated in
the Scale menu.
Prerequisite
99 The symbol is displayed, i.e., the tare function Auto Tare is activated in the
Scale menu.
The weight to be tared automatically, e.g., packaging material, must be heavier than
9display steps of the scale.
Prerequisite
99 The tare function Chain tare is activated in the Scale menu.
1. Place the first container or packaging material on the scale and press .
The packaging weight is automatically saved as the tare weight, the zero display and
the symbol NET appear.
2. Weigh the weighing sample and read/print out the result.
3. Place the second container or packaging material on the scale and press
again.
The total weight on the scale is saved as the new tare weight. The zero display
appears.
4. Weigh the weighing sample in the second container and read/print the result.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for other containers.
The entered tare weight is valid until a new tare weight is entered or the tare weight
is cleared.
The tare weight can be entered via barcode or SICS command as well.
Up to 5 different items for display can be configured in the menu for the info key. Depending
on the configuration in the Terminal menu, the following data can be assigned in a
free order, e.g.,

weighing mode.
If all the settings of a menu item cannot be displayed on one page (e.g., all the info items),
just use to proceed to the hidden items.

Example
This weighing instrument features several control functions to monitor the condition of the
device.
The METTLER TOLEDO service technician can setup and enable these functions.
This helps the user and the METTLER TOLEDO service technician to detemine how the
device is treated and what measures are needed to keep it in a good shape.
If the control functions triggers an alert, a message is shown.
You can confirm the message and continue to work with the weighing instrument. The
spanner icon lights up.
Service required
Overload problem
In case of an alert we strongly recommend calling the METTLER TOLEDO service technician
to replace parts which are at the end of lifetime,
to correct wrong settings,
to educate operators about proper handling,
to perform routine service work,
to reset the alert.

Weighing instruments which are verified in two steps have no green "M" on the descriptive
plate and bear the preceding identification mark on the packing label. The second step of
the verification must be carried out by the approved METTLER TOLEDO service or Weights
and Measures authorities. Please contact your METTLER TOLEDO organisation. The first
step of the verification has been carried out at the manufacturing plant.
If national regulations in individual countries limit the period of validity of the verification, the
operator of such a weighing instrument is himself responsible for its timely re-verification.
