installation, and return the card to your Sartorius dealer.
Pursuant to the German Directive for the Implementation of
Regulations for Prevention of Accidents "Elektrische Anlagen
und Betriebsmittel (VBG4)" [Electrical Installations and Equip-
ment] of April, 1986, it is hereby certified that the equipment
delivered, "Electronic Precision Scale, model G 150D/
G 200D/G 500" is manufactured and tested in compliance with
the following DIN/VDE regulations
DIN IEC 348/VDE0411
Safety requirements for electronic measuring apparatus
DIN IEC 380/VDE 0806
Safety of electrically energized Office machines
DIN IEC 601/VDE 0750
Safety of medical electrical equipment
When you use electrical equipment in installations and under
ambient conditions requiring higher safety Standards, you must
comply with the provisions as specified in the applicable regula-
tions for installation in your country.

Storage and Shipping Conditions
Storage temperature: -40°C...+70°C
-40°F...+158°F
The packaging has been designed to ensure that the scale will not get
damaged even if it is dropped from a height of 80 cm maximum (about
32 inches).
Carefully unpack the scale, and check the equipment immedi-
ately for any visible damage as a result of rough handling during
shipment. lf this is the case, proceed as directed in the section
entitled "Safety Inspection."
Save the box and all parts of the packaging because you might need
to ship your scale. For snipping your scale, disconnect all cables be-
fore packing. Use only the complete Standard packaging supplied to
avoid damage to the equipment during transport.
Do not expose the scale unnecessarily to extreme temperatures,
moisture, shocks, blows or vibrations.

Installation Instructions
Ambient Conditions
Choose a suitable place to set up your scale. The equipment should
not be exposed to the following:
- heat radiation
- drafts
- vibrations
- aggressive chemical atmospheres (the scale must not be used in a
hazardous location/area)
Do not expose the scale to extreme moisture over long periods.
Moisture in the air can condense on the surfaces of a cold scale
whenever it is brought to a substantially warmer area. lf you need to
transfer the scale to a warmer area, make sure to condition it for
about 2 hours at room temperature, leaving it unplugged. Afterwards,
ifyou keep the scale connected to AC power, the continuous positive
difference in temperature between the inside of the scale and the
outside will practically ruie out the effects of moisture condensation.
The components used in the scale are rated to at least Class KSF
according to DIN 40040.
Your Sartorius scale provides accurate readouts even when it is
exposed to unfavorable ambient conditions.
You can adapt the scale to your requirements simply by changing the
code settings in the scale operating menu. For more information,
please read pages 13 through 15.
Connecting Electronic Devices (Peripherals)
Make sure to unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet before
you connect or disconnect any peripherals (PC, etc.) to or from
the interface port of the scale.

Startup
Mounting the Draft Shield
Place the draft shield on the scale.
Use a screwdriver to mount the draft shield in position, and insert the
base plate in the weighing chamber (14).
Install components (4 - 1) in the weighing chamber.
Connecting the scale to AC Power
The scale is powered by an AC adapter. Make sure that the voltage
rating printed on this unit is identical to your local line voltage rating.
lf the voltage rating specified on the AC adapter or the plug design
does not match the rating or Standard you use, please contact your
Sartorius dealer.
Important Note
Only use original Sartorius AC adapters identified by the Sarto-
rius label. Use of AC adapters supplied by other manufacturers,
even if these have a registered approval rating from a national
testing laboratory, requires the consent of a certified Sartorius
technician.
Plug the cord of the AC adapter into the power
receptacle of the scale and secure the connection
by tightening the knurled

9
Voltage Selection
You can select the voltage only if you use our portable power supply
(6970903) that has a European-type plug (rounded prongs).
Safety Precautions
The power supply or AC adapter rated to Class 2 (double insulated)
can be plugged into a wall outlet without taking any additional safety
precautions. The pole of each output voltage is connected to the scale
housing which can be grounded for operation.
The interface (see "Interfacing Devices" on page 18) is also electri-
cally connected to the scale housing (ground).
Leveling the Scale using the Level Indicator
At the point of use, level the scale using the leveling feet (15) so that
the air bubble is centered within the circle of the level indicator (9).

Operating the Scale
After connecting your scale to AC power via the AC adapter, the
scale will need to warm up for at least 30 minutes.
The following special Status messages are indicated in the weight
display for your Information:
BUSY
The processor is still busy processing a function and will not accept
another command to perform any other functions at this time.
STANDBY
The display has been turned off using the ON/OFF key (3). When the
display is turned back on, the scale is immediately ready for Operation
and does not require warmup.
POWER OFF
The scale was disconnected from AC power (i.e., power failure or
outage; you disconnected, then reconnected the scale to AC power).
CAL
The calibration function has been activated.
Turning the Display On and Off
Press the ON/OFF key (3) to turn the display on and off. You can also
use the tare control (6) to turn on the display.
When the scale is connected to AC power, the weight display will go
out whenever you turn off the power using the ON/OFF key. All other
circuits remain energized (indicated by STANDBY). This means the
scale is immediately ready to operate without requiring warmup the
next time you turn it on.
Self-Test
After the power has been turned on, a test of the electronic circuitry
will be run automatically.
This self-test ends with the following readout:
Weighing Range 1 Weighing Range 2
G 150 D 0.000 ct 0.000 g
G 200 D 0.000 ct 0.00 ct
G 500 0.000 ct 0.00 g
(if you use the factory settings in the scale operating menu).
