2 Safety Information
2.1 Electrical Protective Class
Warning!
This instrument has been built and tested in compliance with the safety regulations
for measuring and control instrumentation for protective class I (protective grounding
conductor) according to IEC 1010/EN 61010 or VDE 0411. The instrument was in
perfect condition with regard to safety features when it left the factory. To maintain
this condition and to ensure safe operation, the operator must follow the instructions
and observe the warnings in this manual.
!Warnung
2.2 Intended Use
This instrument is only intended for use in weighing and metering systems, and is especially well-suited for tank
and container scales, weigh bridges, platform weighers, crane weighers, dispensing systems and as a weighing
indicator in intelligent control systems. Product operation, commissioning and maintenance must be performed
by trained and qualified personnel who are aware of and able to deal with the related hazards and take suitable
measures for self-protection.
The instrument reflects the state of the art. No warranty is given that the product is free of faults, especially not

2.4 Before Commissioning
Visual inspection!
Before commissioning as well as after storage or transport, inspect the device visually for
signs of mechanical damage.
2.4.1 Installation
Design Protection class Installation
Control cabinet housing IP 65, back IP 20 Control Panel Cut-Out
To ensure proper cooling of the instrument, make sure air circulation around the instrument is not blocked.
Avoid exposing the instrument to excessive heat; e.g., from direct sunlight. Ambient conditions must be taken
into account at all times.
With outdoor mounting, make sure that adequate weather protection is provided (for temperatures,
see Chapter 12.4.1).

2.4.2 Opening the Instrument
High Voltage!
Working on the instrument while it is switched on may have life-threatening
consequences.
Disconnect the instrument from the supply voltage.
When removing covers or parts using tools, live parts or terminals may be exposed.
Please note that capacitors in the instrument may still be charged even after
disconnecting the device from all voltage sources.
!Danger
This instrument contains electrostatically sensitive components. For this reason, an equipotential bonding
conductor must be connected when working on the open instrument (antistatic protection).
2.4.3 Mains Connection and Protective Grounding Conductor for PR 5500
2.4.3.1 Version 230 V AC
Mains connection
Safe interruption of both supply voltage conductors must be provided for, either by
disconnecting the power connector or using a separate switch.
The instrument is protected via two fuses (see Chapter 12.3.4) on the back of the
device (primary side).
The instrument is equipped with a wide range power supply and covers AC systems
with a frequency of 50 Hz/60 Hz and a voltage range of 100 V AC to 240 V AC
+10%/-15 % automatically (without manual selection).
The power supply is protected against short circuits and overloads, and disconnects
automatically in case of a fault.
If the electrical protection has triggered:
- Disconnect the device from all power sources and wait at least 1 minute.
- Determine and eliminate the cause of the error.
- Reconnect the device to the supply voltage.
Protective grounding conductor
The instrument must be connected to a protective ground via a protective grounding
conductor (PE) in the power connector.
The power cable contains a protective grounding conductor which must not be
interrupted inside or outside the device. The protective grounding conductor is
connected to the back of the housing inside the instrument.

PR 5500 Instrument Manual Safety Information
Sartorius EN-5
2.4.3.2 Version 24 V DC
Mains connection
This version is designed for 24 V direct current.
The supply is established via three spring clamp terminals (+ PE -). The
instrument is protected against incorrect polarity.
Protective grounding conductor
The protective grounding must be connected to the central
terminal (PE).
Fuse
The instrument is protected in the + line via a fuse (see Chapter 12.3.5)
inside the device (primary side).

2.5 RF Interference Suppression
The device is intended for use in the industrial sector and can cause RF interference if used in residential areas
(see Chapter 12.4.3). In this case, the operator may be required to put suitable countermeasures in place.
2.6 Failure and Excessive Stress
If there is any reason to assume that safe operation of the instrument is no longer ensured, shut it down and
make sure it cannot be used. Safe operation is no longer ensured if any of the following is true:
- The instrument is physically damaged.
- The instrument does not function.
- The instrument has been subjected to stresses beyond the tolerance limits (e.g., during storage or transport).
2.7 Important Note
Make sure that the construction of the instrument is not altered to the detriment of safety. In particular,
leakage paths, air gaps (of live parts) and insulating layers must not be reduced. Sartorius Intec cannot be held
responsible for personal injury or property damage caused by an instrument repaired incorrectly by an operator
or installer.
2.8 Repairs and Maintenance
Repairs are subject to inspection and must be carried out at Sartorius Intec. In case of defect or malfunction,
please contact your local Sartorius Intec dealer or service center for repair. When returning the instrument for
repair, please include a precise and complete description of the problem.
Maintenance work must be carried out only by a trained technician aware of the involved hazards, whereby the
relevant precautions must be taken in account.
2.8.1 Static Sensitive Components
This instrument contains electro-statically sensitive components. Therefore, potential equalization must be
provided when working on the device (antistatic protection).
2.8.2 Replacing Fuses
Warning!
The use of repaired fuses and bypassing the fuse holder is prohibited.
Only the fuses specified in Chapter 12.3 are allowed.
