STARTING the ZM200 
The device is ready to start after the speed has been selected and the housing cover closed. The rotor starts 
after the green START button has been pressed and the performance screen appears on the display. 
The current speed of the rotor is displayed in the top left. The performance screen 
shows the performance range the machine is operating in. During grinding, the 
100% range on the right should be avoided because the device is overloaded in 
this performance range and reproducibility of grinding is no longer possible! 
OPENING MECHANISM
MENU
SETTINGS
OPENING MECHANISM
This allows you to pre-select whether the grinding chamber cover should be raised automatically after 
grinding has ended or may only be opened after pressing the button. If the function is switched off, the 
pictogram
appears on the display for confirmation.
When a distributor is used, two pictograms
appear on the display: one is for the
distributor and the other to show that the opening mechanism function is switched off. The latter is prevent 
the grinding chamber cover impacting against the duct during automatic opening. Please move the 
distributor to the side before actuating the OPEN key! 
AUTOMATIC STOP
MENU
SETTINGS
AUTOMATIC STOP
If a distributor is deployed, the run-on time for the ZM200 can be set here. This is the time after which the 
device is stopped automatically when grinding has ended and the distributor emptied. 
If this function is set, the appropriate pictogram appears on the display.
The function does not work properly unless the machine loading is constant, and not too low, because the 
indicator for automatic stop is the loading. Should the device switch off prematurely due to too low loading, 
it is advisable to work without the function. 
ALARM
MENU
SETTINGS
ALARM
The error messages generated by false operation can be acoustically supported by an alarm.

SERVICE
The service menu is sub-divided into four sub-menus:
TOTAL OPERATION HOURS
This counts the number of grinding hours, thus the sum of the times between START and STOP. The 
times cannot be manipulated. 
SOFTWARE VERSION
The version of the operating software can be called up and updated as required. If necessary, get in 
touch with your Retsch distributor. 
Should you have reached this menu by mistake and cannot return to the previous menu, switch the 
device off at the main switch and re-start it. 
CONTRAST/BRIGHTNESS
MENU
DISPLAY
CONTRAST
BRIGHTNESS
The contrast and brightness can be adapted to the particular user or ambient conditions (sunlight, glare 
etc.). 
If the contrast or brightness has been incorrectly set (the display can no longer be read), switch the device 
off at the main switch, simultaneously hold down the START, STOP and COVER OPEN keys and switch it on 
again. You will now see the language menu and the values for CONTRAST and BRIGHTNESS have returned 
to the default settings.
