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.

Calibration/Span Adjustment
Calibration is recommended after initial installation and each time the balance is moved.
Features
Calibration/adjustment can be performed only when:
– there is no load on the balance,
– the balance is zeroed, and
– the internal signal is stable.
If these conditions are not met, an error message is displayed.
The weight required for calibration/adjustment is displayed.
Standard calibration weights for selected models: to remove, see instructions on page 4.
Press (F) to select a different weight value.
To cancel the procedure: press and hold the (Enter) key (> 2 sec.).
Example: Calibrate/adjust span of the balance (here: model AY5101)
Step Key (or instruction) Display
1. Switch on the balance e
2. Zero the balance (Zero)
3. Start calibration (Cal)
The preset calibration weight is displayed
without the weight unit
(in this example, 5000 g)
4. To select a different calibration weight value (F) repeatedly
5. Confirm calibration weight value and (Enter)
start calibration/span adjustment
After the zero point is stored, the required
calibration weight flashes on the display.
6. Place the required calibration
weight on the balance
The readout stops flashing if the weight is
applied within the defined time limit and tolerance.
If the weight value is accepted, the display stops
flashing and the stability symbol appears
on the display.
7. Remove the calibration weight
8. Calibration has been completed
