Operating instructions METTLER TOLEDO MT/UMT balances
Thank you for purchasing a METTLER TOLEDO MT/UMT microbalance.

The MT/UMT balances open up a new dimension in microweighing: They combine extreme precision and a wide range of weighing and
setting options with an exceptional ease of operation.
Please read these operating instructions through carefully so that you can utilize all possibilities offered by your balance to the full. These
operating instructions also offer valuable support in the form of a glossary and an index.
The present operating instructions apply to all METTLER TOLEDO balances of the MT/UMT series. As the various models have different
performance characteristics, however, special mention is made in the text where this is important for the operation.
Please read through the enclosed booklet “Weighing the right way”. It is intended as a supplement to these operating instructions and
contains additional important tips and information.
If you fold out this page, you will have an overview of your balance that shows you all features at a glance.
Safety has priority
– It is essential you consult the instructions in section 1.2 regarding putting your new balance into operation.
– The MT/UMT balances may be operated only when connected to receptacle outlets with a ground connection.
– The MT/UMT balances must not be operated in hazardous surroundings.
– Never open the balance, it contains no parts which can be serviced, repaired or changed by the user. In the
unlikely event you experience problems with your balance, please contact the responsible service facility.
