With this Sartorius Balance, you have acquired a high-quality elec-
tronic weighing instrument that will ease your daily work load.
Please read these installation and operating instructions carefully be-
fore operating your new balance.
Warranty
Do not miss out on the benefits of our full warranty.
Please complete the warranty registration card, indicating the date of
installation, and return the card to your Sartorius dealer.
Storage and Shipping Conditions
Allowable storage temperature: -40 °C ...+70 °C
-40°F ...+158°F
The packaging has been designed to ensure that the balance will not
be damaged even if it is dropped from a height of 80 cm maximum
(about 32 inches).
Carefully unpack the balance and check the equipment immediately
for any visible damage as a result of rough handling during shipment.
If this is the case, proceed as directed in the section entitled "Safety
Inspection."
Save all parts of the packaging and the box because you may
need to ship your balance. Before packing your balance to ship
it, unplug all connected cables to prevent damage.
Do not expose the balance unnecessarily to extreme temperatures,
moisture, shocks, blows or vibrations.

Installation Instructions
Ambient Conditions
The Sartorius Basic Balance is designed to provide reliable weighing
results under normal conditions in the laboratory and in industry.
When choosing the area to Setup your balance, avoid exposing it to
the ambient conditions listed in the following so that you will be able to
work with added speed and accuracy:
- extreme heat radiation
- drafts
- inclined position
- extreme vibrations
- aggressive chemical atmospheres
The balance may not be used in a hazardous location/area where
there is danger of explosion.
Do not expose the balance to extreme moisture over long periods.
Moisture in the air can condense on the surfaces of the balance
whenever a cold balance is brought to a substantially warmer place. lf
you need to transfer the balance to a warmer area, make sure to con-
dition it for about two hours at room temperature (with the AC adapter
disconnected).
Afterwards, if you keep the balance connected to power supply, the
continuous positive difference in temperature between the inside of
the balance and the outside will practically rule out the effects of mois-
ture condensation.

Startup
Mounting the Analytical Draft Shield Chamber
on the BA 210 S, BA 160 P, BA 110 S and BA 61
- Remove plastic, adhesive Strips and foam packaging

14
Starting Up the BA 4100 S, BA 3100 P, BA 2100 S, BA 610,
BA 6100, BA 4100 and BA 2100
Place the weighing pan (1) on the balance
Connecting the Balance to AC Power
Your balance is energized by an AC adapter. Make sure the voltage
rating printed on this unit is identical to your local line voltage.
lf the voltage rating specified on the AC adapter or plug design does
not match the rating or Standard you use, please contact your Sarto-
rius dealer or Office.
Important Note
Only use original Sartorius AC adapters identified by the Sartorius la-
bel. Use of AC adapters from other manufacturers, even if these units
have a registered approval rating from a national testing laboratory,
requires the consent of a certified Sartorius technician.
For information about operating the balance with an external battery
pack, see the section entitled "Accessories."
Detailed information on additional options for powering the balance is
available in our Service Information Bulletin, no. 15/88 (for example,
using local extra-low voltage).

15
Plug the cord of the AC adapter into the jack on the balance. Now
plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet.
Voltage Selection
You can select the voltage only if you use our portable power supply
(69 71172) that has a European-type plug (rounded prongs).
Safety Precautions
The power supply or AC adapter rated to Class 2 can be plugged into
a wall outlet without taking any additional safety precautions.
The pole of the output voltage is connected to the balance housing
which can be grounded for Operation.
The interface is also electrically connected to the balance housing
(ground).
Connecting Electronic Devices (Peripherals)
Make sure to unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet before you
connect or disconnect additional devices (printer or PC) to or from the
balance interface port.

16
Information on Weighing Electro statically Charged Samples
lf you are using a balance with a 0.1 mg readability and electro stati-
cally charged glass or plastic Containers with a diameter larger than
the weighing pan, you should utilize our antistatic pan
(Ø 130 mm - see "Accessories") instead of the Standard weighing
pan.
Leveling the Balance Using the Level Indicator (depends on type
of model)
At the point of use, level the balance using the leveling feet (8) so that
the air bubble is centered within the circle of the level indicator (10).
To raise the balance, lower the leveling feet (turn clockwise).
To lower the balance, raise the feet (turn counter-clockwise).

17
How to Operate the Balance
After you have initially plugged your balance into a wall outlet (or
after a relatively long power outage), allow for at least 30 min-
utes' warmup
The weight display shows the following messages for your informa-
tion:
{
{{
{(OFF)
The balance was disconnected from AC power (power failure or out-
age for longer than approx 3 seconds, reconnection to AC power after
the balance was unplugged).
(Standby
The display has been turned off with the ON/OFF key (16) and the
balance is now in the ready-to-operate mode so that it does not re-
quire warmup.
(Busy)
After the balance is turned on, the symbol is displayed until you
press a key for the first time. During Operation: The processor is still
busy processing a function and will not accept any other command to
perform functions at this time.

18
Weighing
Turning the Display On and Off (Standby Mode)
Press the ON/OFF key (16) to turn the display on or off.
Self-Test
After the balance is turned on, an automatic self-test of the scale's
electronic circuitry is performed.
This self-test ends with the readout "0.0 g/0.00 g/0.000 g or 0.0000 g"
depending on the balance model.
Taring
For exact weight determination, press the tare control (15) to zero the
weight display. You can tare within the entire weighing range of the
balance.
Weight Determination
Place your sample or obJect on the weighing pan (1).
Read off the weight indicated in the display (12) only after the weight
unit ("g" or another unit if selected - see the chapter entitied "Balance
Operating Menü") appears as the stability symbol.

19
Calibration
During calibration, the balance is adapted to changes in ambient con-
ditions.
Calibrate your new balance at the point of use – after warmup and be-
fore the first measurement.
Recalibrate your balance each time you move it to a different location
and whenever ambient conditions (especially the temperature)
change considerably.
Unload the weighing pan and tare.
When you obtain a zero readout, press the CAL key (13). The calibra-
tion routine is started and the calibration weight in grams is displayed.
lf external influences are affecting the calibration, "Err 02" may ap-
pear briefly. In this case, tare the balance and press the CAL key
again once you obtain a zero readout.
Center the calibration weight on the weighing pan.
The balance calibrates itself automatically – an acoustic signal indi-
cates completion of the calibration procedure.
The balance can also be calibrated using other weights. See
"Specifications" for a list of other calibration weights that are
approved for use with your balance.
Only use calibration weights with tolerances that are equal to or better
than the readability of your particular balance (see "Accessories" for
information on calibration weights).
Another weight is accepted for calibration if its exact weight briefly ap-
pears in the display.
An acoustic Signal indicates completion of the calibration procedure.

20
Data Interface
lf you wish to document your weighing data with the Sartorius
Data Printer, connect the printer's interface connector to the in-
terface port (17) on the balance. You do not need to change any
settings!
To do this, remove the protective cap from the data interface port.
- Plug the interface connector into the interface port
- Secure the interface connector by tightening the screws
Important Note
Make sure to unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet before you
connect or disconnect additional devices (printer or PC) to or from the
balance interface port.
Press the key (14) for data output.
See page 24 for information on data output parameters and data ID
codes. For more information about the data interface (e.g. data output
and input formats, pin assignment, etc.), see the enclosed "Interface
Description."
