Do not miss out on the benefits of our full warranty.
Please complete the warranty card, indicating the date of installation,
and return the card to your Sartorius dealer.
Unpack the scale. Remove the plastic covering and adhesive
strips.
Place the platform cover (1) on the scale base.
Storage and Shipping Conditions
Allowable storage temperature: -40°C ...+70°C
-40°F ...+158°F
The packaging of the scale has been designed to ensure that the
scale will not be damaged even if it is dropped from a height of 80 cm
(about 32 inches).
After unpacking the scale, please check it immediately 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 all parts of the packaging. and the box because you may
need to ship your scale. Before you pack your scale to ship it,
unplug all connected cables to prevent damage.
Do not expose the scale unnecessarily to extreme temperatures,
moisture, shocks, blows or vibrations.

6
Equipment Supplied
The equipment supplied includes the components shown on the left:
- Scale with platform and display unit
- AG adapter
- Dust cover
- 3 Allen wrenches
- Retainers for mounting the display
- 2 M 4 x 8 screws and washers (for mounting the "Remote Display
Unit")

Installation Instructions
Ambient Conditions
Unfavourable ambient conditions can influence weighing results.
Therefore, please select a suitable place to set up
your scale. lt 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 21 through 23.

Startup
Connecting the Scale to Line Power
The scale is powered by an AC adapter. Make sure that voltage rating
printed on this unit is identical to your local line voltage rating.
lf the line voltage indicated or the plug design of the AC adapter does
not match the rating or Standard you use, please contact your Sarto-
rius dealer.
Important Note
Only use original Sartorius AC adapters identified by the Sartorius la-
bel. Use of AC adapters supplied by other manufacturers, even if
these adapters have a registered approval rating from a national test-
ing laboratory, requires the consent of a certified Sartorius technician.
Plug the cord of the AC adapter into the power
receptacle of the scale. 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).

17
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 negative pole (ground) of the Output voltage (protective extra-low
voltage) is connected to the scale housing, which can be grounded for
Operation.
The optional interface (see "Interfacing Devices" on page 26 in addi-
tion) is also electrically connected to the scale housing (ground).
Connecting Electronic Devices (Peripherals)
Unplug the AC adapter before you connect or disconnect devices to
or from the interface ports.
Leveling the Scale using the Level Indicator
(only for model IB 16000 S)
At the point of use, level the scale using the leveling feet (4) so that
the air bubble is centered within the circle of the level indicator (2).

18
Operation
After you have plugged the scale into a wall outlet using the AC
adapter, allow for at least 30 minutes' warmup.
The weight display shows the following special Status messages for
your Information:
BUSY
The scale processor is still busy processing a function and will not ac-
cept any other commands to perform functions at this time.
STANDBY
The display has been turned off with the ON/OFF key (8) and the
scale is now in the ready-to-operate mode so that it does not require
warmup.
POWER OFF
The scale was disconnected from line power (power failure or outage,
reconnection to line power after scale was unplugged).
CAL
The calibration function has been activated.
Turning the Display On and Off
Press the ON/OFF key (8) to turn the display on or off.
You can also turn it on by pressing the tare control (6).
When the scale is connected to the AC adapter and the power is on,
the display will go out whenever you turn off the power using the
ON/OFF key. All other electronic circuits will remain energized (indi-
cated by STANDBY). This means the scale is immediately ready to
operate without requiring warmup the next time you turn it on.

19
Self-Test
After the scale is turned on, an automatic self-test of the scale's elec-
tronic circuitry is performed.
This self-test ends with the readout 0.0 g/0.000 kg (if the factory code
setting 5 1 1/ 5 1 2 is used).
Weighing
Now place your sample or object on the platform (1) to determine the
weight. Read off the weight indicated in the display (9) as soon as the
weight unit (in this case "g") appears as the stability symbol.
In addition to grams/kilograms, this scale gives you a variety of
other menu-definable international weight unit options.
Select the weight unit you need from the table of the menu options for
the scale operating program. Set the appropriate code as described in
the section "Scale Operating Program."
Taring
lf you wish to weigh into a Container or if the weight display does not
indicate 0.0 g/0.000 kg (or the equivalent with the weight unit of your
choice), press the tare control to zero the display.
Auto Zero
This scale has an automatic zero tracking function, known as "Auto
Zero" (can be turned off by menu code - see "Scale Operating Pro-
gram").
Changes off zero ≤0.5 of a digit per second are set to zero automati-
cally.

20
Automatic Shutoff
Make sure the "Automatic Shutoff" code is set to "ON" when using a
non-rechargeable or rechargeable battery. This will increase the
amount of time you can operate the scale before having to recharge
the battery (see "Scale Operating Program"), lf you do not press a key
or if a weight readout in the display does not change for at least 2
minutes, "STANDBY" will start flashing in the display. The scale will
shut itself off if it has not been operated after another 2 minutes.
Calibration
— This is only possible with an accurate calibration weight (10 kg)
— See "Accessories" -
Unload the scale and press the CAL key (7) for at least 3 seconds un-
til the calibration weight readout appears in the display.
Center the calibration weight on the platform.
Now the weight unit symbol is displayed. An acoustic signal indicates
the end of the calibration procedure.
You can block access to the calibration function -to find this menu
code, refer to the "Scale Operating Program." This function is acces-
sible when the scale operating program is unlocked using the menu
access switch (5).
