Only qualified personnel may install and
operate the equipment. Make sure you
observe the warnings and safety informa-
tion in their entirety during installation
and operation, as well as while perform-

your country must be observed. It is
important that all personnel using the
equipment understand this warning
and safety information, and have access
to the relevant documents at all times.
Furthermore, the warning and safety
information supplied with any electrical
equipment connected, such as peripheral
devices, must be observed as well. The
warnings and safety precautions may
have to be supplemented by the equip-
ment operator. All operating personnel
must be informed of any additions to
these instructions. Make sure the equip-
ment is accessible at all times.
General Provisions for Installing
the PMA7501-X…

marked in accordance with the KEMA05
ATEX1247 X EC type-examination certifi-
cate (refer to the chapter on Documents).
Furthermore, PMA7501-X… models meet
the EC Directives for electromagnetic
compatibility and electrical safety (please
see the chapter on CE Marking).
– The area of use for the PMA7501-X…
models is defined in the type-examina-
tion certificate. All restrictions listed in
the type-examination certificate must
be strictly observed. Operating the

tions indicated is not permitted, and
is considered use of the equipment for
other than its intended purpose.
– Any installation work that does not con-
form to the instructions in this manual
will result in forfeiture of all claims under
the manufacturer’s warranty. If you use
the equipment in a hazardous area out-
side Germany, you must comply with
the national electrical code and safety
regulations applicable in your country
(e.g.: EN60079-14). Ask your supplier
for information on the legal regulations
applicable in your country.

potentially explosive atmosphere must be
performed by a certified electrician who is
familiar with the assembly, start-up and
operation of both the system and the rel-
evant guidelines and regulations, and has
the required qualifications for performing
the installation. If you need assistance,
contact your Sartorius dealer or the Sar-

potential bonding conductor.
Disconnecting equipotential bonding
conductors is not permitted. The bore
hole is marked by a “ground” symbol.
The wire used for the grounding conduc-
tor should have a cross-sectional diam-
eter of at least 4 mm2. Connect all equip-
ment, including peripheral devices, to the
equipotential bonding conductor.
– Do not expose the scale to extreme
temperatures, aggressive chemical vapors,
moisture, shocks and vibrations.
