Installations Instructions
Your Sartorius Scale will provide accurate readouts even
when it is exposed to unfavorable conditions.
However, exposure to intensive heat radiation, vibrations
and drafts may affect the weighing accuracy and should
be avoided äs much as possible.
You can adapt the scale to your requirements simply
by changing the menu code settings in the scale
operating program.
For more information, see pages 23 through 29.

Startup
Place the weighing platform (5) on the scale.
Connecting the Scale to AC Power
The scale is energized by an external power supply.
Make sure that the voltage rating printed on this unit is
identical to your local voltage rating.
lf the voltage specified on the label or the plug design of
the power supply does not match the rating or Standard
you use, please contact your Sartorius Office or dealer.
Insert the right-angle plug of the power supply in the AC
jack as shown in the picture on the left. Tighten the screw
by hand.
The IP 65 protection rating is guaranteed only if a
rubber gasket is instalied and the plug is securely
connected to form a leak-tight seal.
Then plug the power supply into a wall outlet.
Important Note:
Only use original Sartorius Power Supplies identified by
the Sartorius label. Use of power supplies from other
manufacturers, even if these units have a registered
approval rating from a national testing laboratory, requires
the consent of a certified Sartorius service technician.

Connecting Electronic Devices (Peripherals)
Make sure to unplug the power supply from the wall outlet
or from the scale before you connect or disconnect a
peripheral device (printer or PC) to or from the interface
port (Option).
Safety Precautions
The power supply rated to Class 2 (double insulation) can
be plugged into a wall outlet without taking any additional
safety precautions. The pole (ground) of the Output
voltage is connected to the scale housing (metallic parts),
which can be grounded for Operation.
The interface (see "Interfacing Devices" on page 33 in
addition) is also electrically connected to the scale hous-
ing (ground).

How to Operate the Scale
After initially connecting the scale to line power, allow
for at least 30 minutes' warmup.
Turning the Display On and Off
Press the ON/OFF key (8) to turn the display on or off.
Self-Test
After the scale is turned on, an automatic self-test of the
scale's electronic circuitry is performed. During this test,
all segments briefly appear in the display (full-segment
display test).
lt ends with the readout of all set parameters.
Taring
lf you wish to use a Container of if the weight display does
not indicate "0.0 g/0 g" (or the equivalent with the weight
unit of your choice), press the tare key before weighing.

10
The zero symbol (with arrows) ->0<- in the weight display
shows that the scale has been exactly tared so the display
reads "0".
Weighing
Place your sample on the weighing platform (5) to deter-
mine the weight.
Read off the weight indicated in the display (7) as soon as
the motion detection symbol "~" above the plus/minus
sign disappears.
In addition to grams, this scale gives you a variety of
other menu-definable weight unit options.
Select the weight unit you desire from the fable on
page 26 and change the code in the scale operating
program (for this purpose, see pages 23 through 29).
Auto Zero
This scale has an automatic zero tracking function, known
as "Auto Zero" (can be turned off by menu code - see
"Scale Operating Program").
Any changes off zero <± 0.5 digit per second will be set to
zero automatically.
