Descriptive Annex
1 NAME AND TYPE OF INSTRUMENT

The EBI and DBI are Class III, self-indicating, dual-interval, non-automatic weighing
instruments.

2 DESCRIPTION

2.1 Construction

2.1.1 Mechanical

Main features:

− Steel construction
− Operator’s keypad
− Stainless steel load receptor
− Pole-mounted display
− Level indicator

2.1.2 Devices

− Initial zero setting device (≤ 20% of Max)

− Semi-automatic zero setting device (≤ 4% of Max)
− Zero tracking device (≤ 4% of Max)
− Zero indicator
− Net indicator
− Semi-automatic subtractive tare balancing device
− Gravity compensation
− Counting / check weighing / weighing unstable samples modes (DBI Model)
− Price-computing (EBI Model)

2.1.3 Load cell

Any compatible load cell(s) may be used providing the following conditions are met:
− There is a respective OIML Certificate of Conformity (R60) or a test
certificate (EN45501) issued for the load cell by a Notified Body responsible
for type examination under Directive 90/384/EEC.
− The certificate contains the load cell types and the necessary load cell data
required for the manufacturer’s declaration of compatibility of modules
(WELMEC 2, Issue 4, 2004, No 11), and any particular installation
requirements. A load cell marked NH is allowed only if humidity testing to
EN45501 has been conducted on this load cell.
− The compatibility of the load cells and indicator is established by the
manufacturer by means of the compatibility of modules calculation, contained
in the above WELMEC 2 document, at the time of verification or declaration
of EC conformity of type.
− The load cell transmission must conform to one of the examples shown in the
WELMEC Guide 2.4, “Guide for Load cells”.

2.2 Operation

2.2.1 Switch-on

At switch-on, a display test is performed to ensure that all segments are active.

2.2.2 Zero-tracking

Zero tracking operates provided that the instrument is within range of not more than 4% of its
capacity.

2.2.3 Semi-automatic zero setting

The zero button operates provided that the instrument is within range of not more than 4% of
its capacity.

2.2.4 Over-range and under-range

If the load is less than gross zero, then the display shows a “-” sign before the value.

The instrument may be set to display weight up to nine divisions above Max. At greater loads
the display shows “ERR 03”.
2.2.5 Tare

Subtractive tare balancing can be performed.

2.3 Model variants

The DBI model can be fitted with an LCD or VDF display, and is then designated DBIC or
DBIL. The EBI model will only accommodate a double-sided LCD display.

3 TECHNICAL DATA

3.1 Power supply

The instruments operate directly on a 230VAC supply or via a remote power supply
(12VDC), or directly on an integrated rechargeable battery (see 2.1.4). Any compatible CE-
marked mains adaptor may be used.

4 PERIPHERAL DEVICES AND INTERFACES

4.1 Interfaces

The instrument may have the following interface type:

− RS232

4.2 Peripheral devices

The following peripheral devices may be connected to the interfaces provided:

− Peripheral devices that have been issued with a test certificate by a Notified
Body responsible for type approval under Directive 90/384/EEC; or
− Peripheral devices without a test certificate under the following conditions:
- it bears the CE marking for conformity to the EMC Directive
89/336/EEC;
- it is not capable of transmitting any data or instruction into the weighing
instrument, other than to release a printout, checking for correct data
transmission or validation;
- it prints weighing results and other data as received from the weighing
instrument without any modification or further processing;
- it complies with the applicable requirements of EN45501, i.e. 4.2, 4.4, 4.6
and 4.7.
A printing device may print additional information such as date or number to identify the
printed weighing result(s) or sets of weighing results.

6 SECURING AND VERIFICATION MARKS

6.1 The data plate is secured, either by sealing or by being of a form such that it is
destroyed when removed.

6.2 Components that may not be dismantled or adjusted by the user must be
secured by a wire and seal solution or by a suitable mark placed over the securing screws of
the housing (Indicators: Figures 3 and 4). The securing mark may be either:
− a mark of the manufacturer and/or manufacturer’s representative, or
− an official mark of a verification officer.
