Cleaning and maintenance

4 Cleaning and maintenance

Your MX2/UMX5 automated balance does not require laborious maintenance. For correct operation and to ensure correct results simply

carry out the cleaning and maintenance tasks described below. For information about general cleaning tasks for the balance, please

refer to Chapter 13 of the operating instructions for AX and MX/UMX balances.

Clean the components of the weighing chamber as follows:

Switch off the balance.

Tilt the locking rocker (A) of the weighing chamber cover to the right and remove the

weighing chamber cover by pulling it forwards.

First carefully remove the weighing sample holder (B) and then the weighing pan (C) by

lifting it out of its guide. We recommend using the special tool supplied with the balance

for this (special tweezers).

Then remove the drip tray (D) by lifting it out of the weighing chamber.

Clean the items (they are made from stainless steel X2CrNiMo17-12-2/1.4404).

In particular, handle the weighing sample holder and the weighing pan with the greatest

care and ensure that the ﬁne holding prongs for the weighing sample are not bent.

We recommend cleaning all items in an ultrasonic bath.

Replace the items in the weighing chamber in reverse order. When inserting the weighing

pan, make sure that it is in the correct position: the ﬁne holding prongs for the weighing

sample must be towards the back, positioned towards the weighing sample holder.

In addition, when inserting the weighing pan and the weighing sample holder make sure

that the items are positioned correctly in the slot in the relevant guide. Do not forget to

lock the weighing chamber cover (tilt rocking locker to the left).
