be installed and operated b qualified
personnel onl . Make sure ou observe
the warning and safet information
in its entiret during installation and
operation, as well as while performing
maintenance and repair work on the
equipment. The regulations, applicable
laws, occupational safet requirements
and environmental protection laws
valid in our countr must be observed.
In particular, the conditions described
under Item 17 of the KEMA EC t pe-
examination certificate, “Special Condi-
tions for Safe Use," must be observed.
It is important that all personnel using
the equipment understand this warning
and safet information, and have access
to the relevant documents at all times.
Furthermore, the warning and safet
information supplied with an electrical
equipment connected, such as peripheral
devices, must be observed as well.
The warnings and safet precautions
ma have to be supplemented b the
equipment operator. All operating
personnel must be informed of an

Make sure the equipment is accessible
at all times.
The compact scales in the EC1XS-……-L
series are designed for mass determination
in zone 1, 2, 21 and 22 hazardous areas.
The scale consists of a weighing platform
and a displa and control unit (evaluation
unit). An external power suppl is required
for operation of the scale (option YPS05-ZD
for installation in the non-hazardous area,
or YPS05-XD for the hazardous area).
In addition to the basic weighing function,
the scale is equipped with programs
for toggling weight units and gross/net
weighing. Weight values can be transferred
through a Zener barrier (e.g., option
YDI05-Z) over an RS-232 port (built-in)
or an RS-422 port (optional) to a printer
or computer outside the hazardous area.
A foot switch can also be connected to
the scale.
The display and control unit (evaluation
unit) comes with a separate operating
manual.
Make sure all safety instructions are
observed.
Note:
Read the installation and operating
instructions carefull before connecting
and operating the EC1XS.-……-L.
Keep the instruction manuals in a safe
place.
General Provisions for Installing
Explosion-protected EC XS.-……-L
Models in Zone , 2, 2 and 22
Hazardous Areas
Model EC1XS.-……-L scales meet the
requirements of EC Directive 94/9/EC
for Group II, Categor 2G or 2D devices
and are labeled in accordance with
EC t pe-examination certificate
KEMA04ATEX1279 (see the scale
operating instructions).
Furthermore, EC1XS.-……-L models
meet the requirements of EC Directives
for electromagnetic compatibilit
and electrical safet (see “Declaration
of Conformit " in the scale operating
instructions).
– The area of use for EC1XS.-……-L mod-
els and accessories (power supplies,
interface converter) is defined in the
t pe-examination certificate. All
restrictions listed in the t pe-examina-
tion certificate must be observed.
Operation outside of these restrictions
is not permitted, and is considered use
of the EC1XS.-……-L for other than its
intended purpose. An installation
work that does not conform to the
instructions in this manual will result
in forfeiture of all claims under the
manufacturer's warrant .
– When the equipment is operated in a
hazardous area, the national laws and

use must be observed (e.g., EN60079-14
(gases); EN50281-1-2 (dusts)). Ask our
supplier for information on the legal
regulations applicable in our countr .
– The EC1XS.-……-L is ma not be used
in the medical industr (as a medicinal
product).
– Whether the equipment can be used
in a given area containing potentiall
explosive agents must be checked on
a case-b -case basis.
– If the equipment housing is opened b
an one other than persons authorized
b Sartorius, this will negate its con-
formit with regulations governing use
in the stated hazardous areas and result
in forfeiture of all claims under the
manufacturer's warrant .
– Installation of the s stem must be
performed b a certified electrician who
is familiar with the assembl , start-up
