ex-link converter YCO17-Z installed outside of the potentially explosive area at
all times using only the link cable supplied. The scale can be used in potentially
explosive areas in Zone 2. Appropriate containers must be used for loading each
type of material.
The scale is controlled via the operating display. Formulas can be written into the
scale using a web application via a tablet, smartphone or PC. The PC is connected to
the ex-link converter installed outside of the potentially explosive area either via a
network or directly via an Ethernet cable.
The device may only be used indoors.
Only use the device with the equipment and under the operating conditions
described in the Specifications. You may not modify the device or make any
technical changes.
These instructions are part of the device. The device is intended exclusively for use
in accordance with these instructions.
Any further use beyond this is considered improper. If the device is not used
properly: The protective systems of the device may be impaired. This can lead to
personal injury and property damage.

2.12 Safety Instructions Concerning Installation and Operation
of the Device
− Do not expose the scale, the ex-link converter, the power supply, or the
accessories supplied by Sartorius to extreme temperatures, aggressive chemical
vapors, moisture, shocks, vibrations, or strong electromagnetic fields. Observe the
conditions of operation described in the Specifications.
The connection cables between the devices as well as the casing on the wires
inside the device housing are made of PVC. Chemicals that corrode this material
must be kept away from these cables.
− Note the IP protection rating of the scale, the ex-link converter, and the power
supply. Do not allow liquid penetration. The protection class specifies the
suitability of equipment for various environmental conditions (moisture, foreign
bodies).
− The scale and ex-link converter may only be opened by Sartorius Service with the
power disconnected. Do not open the power supply.
− Avoid generating static electricity on the glass panel of the operating display and
plastic casing.
− The YEPS01-USB power supply for the ex-link converter may only be connected
to supply voltages of min. 90 V and max. 264 V at a frequency of 48–62 Hz.
− Observe connection data (see Chapter “15.1 General Data”, page 53).
− The equipment must only be used indoors. Connect the scale and the ex-link
converter YCO17-Z to the equipotential bonding conductor using a suitable low
resistance method. All electrical circuits are grounded and electrically connected
to the metal parts of the devices. The equipotential bonding conductor of the
devices must be connected properly, according to commonly accepted technical
standards.
− The installation must be checked for correct function and safety by trained
and qualified personnel at appropriate intervals (e.g., checking the cables for
damage).
− Operating personnel must be trained to recognize faulty operating states and to
be able to initiate the necessary safety measures (e.g., disconnecting the ex-link
converter from the power supply).
− Lay the cables where they pose no risk of causing someone to trip.
Never close a paint can using a hammer while it is still on the weighing pan.
When closing, place the paint can on a firm, stable surface.
Observe the additional safety precautions and hazard warnings in subsequent
chapters.

Seal on Scales Verified for Use in Legal Metrology:
Legislation requires that a seal be affixed to verified scales. On Sartorius
devices, this seal takes the form of a sticker with the “Sartorius” logo.
If the seal is removed, the validity of verification will become void and
you must have your scale re-verified. The verification supplied here is
for verified weighing instruments for use in the EEA. Please keep it in a
safe place.

5.2 Unpacking the Device
Procedure
t Open the packaging, making sure to remove all parts carefully.
t After unpacking the device, check it immediately for any external damage.
t If you detect any damage, proceed as directed in Chapter “12.2 Shipping-related
Tasks/Returns”, page 50.
t If the device is stored temporarily: Observe the information on storage (see
Chapter “12.1 Storage”, page 50).
t Save the box and all parts of the packaging for any future transport. All cables
should be unplugged when transporting.
5.3 Selecting a Setup Location
Select the right setup location:
− Set up the device on a stable, even surface that is not exposed to vibrations.
− Maintain free access to the device at all times.
− The devices must be handled carefully according to the IP protection rating.
The environment must be suitably secured.
− In the event of use in systems and under ambient conditions with higher safety
requirements, you must observe the requirements and provisions applicable in
your country.
Choose a location that is not subject to the following negative influences:
− Heat (heater or direct sunlight)
− Drafts from open windows, AC systems, and doors
− Extreme vibrations during weighing
− Heavy traffic areas (personnel)
− Extremely high humidity
− Electromagnetic fields
− Extremely dry air
Acclimatization
Condensation from humidity can form on the surfaces of a cold device when
it is brought into a warm area. You should therefore let a device that has been
disconnected from its power source acclimatize for approximately 2 hours before
reconnecting it to the supply voltage.
