Please read these installation and operating
instructions carefully before you begin to operate your
new balance.
Warranty
Do not miss out on the benefits of our full warranty.
Please contact your local Sartorius office or
dealer for further information. If available, complete
the warranty registration card, indicating the date
of installation, and return the card to your Sartorius
office or dealer.
Storage and Shipping Conditions
Allowable storage temperature: +5°C ... +40°C
+41°F to +104°F
The complete packaging has been designed to ensure
that the balance will not be damaged even if it is
dropped from a height of 80 cm (about 31inches).
After unpacking the balance, please check
it immediately for any visible damage as a result
of rough handling during shipment.
If this is the case, proceed as directed in the section
entitled “Safety Inspection.”
Save all parts of the packaging and the box for
your balance to avoid damage during
transportation. Ship your balance only in the
complete original standard packaging supplied.
The packaging consists of the following:
– 2 boxes
– 3 polystyrene inserts
– 2 polypropylene pads
The inner packaging is not suitable for shipping
because it provides the balance little protection from
blows. Before packing your balance for shipment,
unplug all connected cables to prevent damage.
Do not expose the balance unnecessarily to extreme
temperatures, moisture, shocks, blows or vibrations.

Transporting the Balance
To transport the balance, lift it by the housing base
using both hands. Never lift your balance by grasping
the display unit or the draft shield!
Transport Arrestment
Before unplugging the balance from the power
supply or unplugging the connecting cable, turn off
the balance using the ekey (31).
For MC5 (-0CE) and SC 2 (-0CE):
After approximately 10 seconds, the balance will
be arrested, or locked, for transportation.
While the balance is raising the weights after you
have turned it off, the symbol “Mot” from a calibration
or linearization procedure is displayed.
Warmup Time
Condition your balance for 12 hours to the temperature
of a new location. After initially connecting the
balance to AC power (or after a relatively long power
outage), allow it to warm up for at least 2 hours.
Each time you move your balance to another location,
you must condition it for at least 12 hours to the
new location.
After initially connecting the balance to AC power
(or after a relatively long power outage), allow the
balance to warm up for at least 2 hours.

Note to Users of Verified Balances Approved for Use
as Legal Measuring Instruments:
Linearization after Transport
After transport, the linearity and calibration of your
balance may be out of the permissible tolerances
(see the “Specifications”). Always carry out internal
linearization of the balance after transport.
Repeating this procedure – several times, if necessary –
enhances the linearization. This procedure is described
on page 1–35.
Preparing a Verified Balance for Use as a Legal
Measuring Instrument:
After initially connecting the balance to AC power
(or after a relatively long power outage), allow
it to warm up for at least 24 hours.
