Warnings and Safety Precautions

Installation
3 Warning when using pre-wired RS-232 connecting cables: RS-232 cables purchased
from other manufacturers often have pin assignments that are incompatible with
Sartorius products. Be sure to check the pin assignments against the chart in this
manual before connecting the cable, and disconnect any lines identified differently
from those specified by Sartorius.
3 Connect only Sartorius accessories and options, as these are optimally designed for
use with your device. Therefore, do not use any proprietary solutions. The operator
shall be solely responsible for installation and testing of any modifications to
Sartorius equipment, including connection of cables or equipment not supplied by
Sartorius. Information on operational quality (in line with norms pertaining to
immunity) is available on request.
t If you have any problems with your device, contact your local Sartorius office,
dealer or service center.
IP Protection Rating
IP Rating: – All models are rated to IP44 (IP65 as an accessory).
– “IP65" models are rated to IP65.
– The IP65/IP69K protection rating is ensured only if the rubber gasket is installed
and all connections are fastened securely (including the caps on unused
sockets). Weighing platforms must be installed and tested by a certified
technician.
– If you install an interface port or battery connection after setting up your
indicator, keep the protective cap in a safe place for future use. The cap protects
the interface connector from vapors, moisture and dust or dirt.
Use in Legal Metrology
– When the indicator is connected to a weighing platform and this equipment is
to be verified, ensure that the applicable regulations regarding verification are
observed.
– When connecting Sartorius weighing platforms, observe the permitted weighing
range as listed in the “Guide to Verification of Weighing Instruments" and the
Declaration of Conformity.
– A sticker with the “Sartorius" logo was affixed to the indicator as a control seal
following verification. This seal will be irreparably damaged if you attempt to
remove it. This will nullify the verification's validity. In this case, re-verification
would be required in compliance with all relevant national regulations and laws.

Configuring Weighing Platforms

Analog/Digital Converter (ADC)
Purpose Adjust the parameters of the analog/digital converter to the connected load cell or
weighing platform. After ADC configuration, the ADC in connection with the load
sensor is defined as a scale.
3 Once the ADC configuration has been locked, the indicator can no longer be used
to influence weighing results. The scope of functions available in the weighing
instrument is defined by the A/D converter. Weighing functions that can be activat-
ed include reading weight values, taring, adjustment, reading the tare value, saving/
deleting the tare entry
Setup information – ADC configuration is only possible when the menu access switch is open.
Close the menu access switch after ADC configuration, as otherwise there will
not be any display of the conditions “overload” (“H”) and “underload” (“L”).
– Before ADC configuration, you must first set whether or not the weighing
platform will be used as a standard or verifiable weighing platform under menu
item 9.1.
– When the Service mode is activated, ADC configuration can be carried out in the
Setup menu under “WP-1" for the first weighing platform and COm1 / WP-2,
UNICOM / WP-2 or COm-WP for the second weighing platform.
3 If you return to the highest level of the Setup menu without saving the configura-
tion parameters beforehand (menu item 11.10) any settings that have been made
will be deleted.
– The settings are made in the corresponding Setup menu under menu item 11.
– Enter the maximum capacities in a suitable weight unit, without any decimal
places (decimal places will be truncated by the rounding function).
– Entries made in the ADC configuration will not be affected by a menu reset
(returning the setup parameters to their factory settings).
