Safety Information
§To prevent damage to the equipment,
please read these operating instruc-
tions carefully before using your
balance.
!Do not use this equipment in
hazardous areas.
!Make sure the voltage rating printed
on the power supply is identical to
your local line voltage.
!Use only commercially available 9 V
batteries. If desired, you can use a
rechargeable battery (not included).
– The balance is energized at all times
unless you disconnect the AC adapter
and, if connected, the battery.
– Protect the AC adapter from contact
with liquid
!Exposure to excessive electromagnetic
interference can cause the readout
value to change. Once the disturbance
has ceased, the instrument can be
used again in accordance with its
intended purpose.
Installation
– It is recommended to connect
Sartorius accessories and options,
as these are optimally designed for
use with your balance.
– Do not open the balance housing as
this may void the manufacturer’s
warranty.
