Introduction

1.1 General
Thank you for purchasing the Panda7 paint scale or the intrinsically safe versions Panda7/X (Ex zone 1) or
Panda7/X2 (Ex zone 2). The Panda7, Panda7/X, Panda7/X2 makes it possible to mix components in predefined
proportions by weighing. The scale has a number of correction modes to compensate for errors made while weighing
the components. A built-in RS232 interface allows the scale to be connected to a printer, a computer, or an auxiliary
display.
Please read through this manual carefully and always follow the instructions!

Safety and environment

– Do not use the Panda7 scale in hazardous environments where there are explosive mixtures of
gases, vapors, or dusts.
In hazardous areas, a Panda7/X (Ex zone 1) or Panda7/X2 (Ex zone 2) scale must be used. The
METTLER TOLEDO PANDA-EX1P certified power supply unit, or the METTLER TOLEDO PS-EX2P
certified AC adapter respectively, must always be used for connecting these scales. The operating
instructions for the power supply unit/AC adapter must always be observed and followed. Because
of the danger of electrostatic charge, it is only permitted to use a protective cover in hazardous areas
if the cover is made from statically non-hazardous material.
– To connect the scale to the power supply, use only the AC adapter (Panda7), the PANDA-EX1P
certified power supply unit (Panda7/X), or the PS-EX2P certified AC adapter (Panda7/X2)
supplied with the scale. Make sure the voltage printed on the adapter or supply unit is the same
as the local power supply voltage. Check the cable of the AC adapter/power supply unit regularly.
If the cable or the AC adapter/power supply unit is damaged, the scale must not be used.
– Use only recommended accessories and peripherals.
– Treat the scale carefully, it is a precision instrument. Knocks to the weighing pan, or overloading
it excessively, damage the scale.
– Before starting to clean the scale, disconnect it from the power supply!
Cleaning: Use a moist cloth (no acids, alkalis, or solvents). If the scale is heavily soiled, remove
weighing pan protective cover (if present) and the leveling feet (certified scales only), and clean
these parts separately. Observe company- and industry-specific regulations regarding cleaning
intervals and permitted cleaning agents.
– In conformance with the European Directive 2002/96 EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment (WEEE) this device may not be disposed of in domestic waste.
This also applies to countries outside the EU, per their specific requirements.
Please dispose of this product in accordance with local regulations at the collecting point specified
