Safety Precautions
Safety Instructions
§Please read these operating instructions
carefully before using your balance
to prevent damage to the equipment.
!Do not use this equipment in hazardous
areas/locations.
!The balance housing may be opened
only by Sartorius service technicians
who have been trained at the factory.
!Make sure you disconnect the balance
from power before connecting or
disconnecting peripheral devices to or
from the balance.
!If you operate the equipment under
ambient conditions that require higher
safety standards, you must comply with
the installation regulations applicable
in your country.
When cleaning your balance, make
sure that no liquid enters the balance
housing; use only a slightly moistened
cloth to clean the balance.
Installation
!Make sure the voltage rating printed
on the AC adapter is identical to your
local line voltage.
– Proceed with extreme caution when
using pre-wired RS-232 connecting
cables, as the pin assignments may
not be compatible with Sartorius
equipment. Check all pin assignments
against the cabling diagrams and dis-
connect any lines that do not match.
!If there is visible damage to the equip-
ment or power cord, disconnect the
equipment from power and lock it in
a secure place to ensure that it cannot
be used for the time being.
– Connect only Sartorius accessories
and options, as these are optimally
designed for use with your balance.
The operator shall be responsible
for any modifications to Sartorius
equipment and for any connection
of cables or equipment not supplied
by Sartorius and must check and,
if necessary, correct these modifications
and connections. On request, Sartorius
will be happy to provide information on
operating specifications (in accordance
with the Standards for defined immunity
to interference).
$Do not open the balance. If the seal
is broken, this will result in forfeiture
of all claims under the manufacturer's
warranty.
$If you have any problems with your
balance, please contact your local
Sartorius office, dealer or service center.

Getting Started
Storage and Shipping Conditions
– Do not expose the balance to
extreme temperatures, moisture, shocks,
blows or vibration.
Unpacking the Balance
§After unpacking the equipment,
please check it immediately for any
external damage
$If damage is evident, refer to the
instructions under “Safety Inspection"
in the chapter entitled “Care and
Maintenance."
$Save the box and all parts of the
packaging for any future transport.
Disconnect all cables before packing
the balance for shipping!
Installation
Choose a location that is not subject
to the following negative influences:
– Heat (heater or direct sunlight)
– Drafts from open windows and doors
– Extreme vibrations during weighing
– Excessive moisture
Conditioning the Balance
Moisture in the air can condense on
the surfaces of a cold balance whenever
it is brought into a substantially warmer
place. If you transfer the balance to
a warmer area, make sure to condition it
for about 2 hours at room temperature,
leaving it unplugged from AC power.
Seal on Balances Verified for Use
in Legal Metrology in the EU*:
EU legislation requires that a control
seal be affixed to verified balances of
accuracy class K. The control seal
consists of a sticker with the “Sartorius"
logo. If the seal is broken, the verifi-
cation becomes null and void and the
balance must be re-verified.

ment on the European Economic Area
