PR 5211 Instrument Manual Safety Hints
Sartorius EN-5
1Safety Hints
1.1 Electrical Protection Class
This instrument was built and tested in accordance with the safety regulations
for measuring and control instrumentation. The instrument was delivered in safe
condition. To maintain this condition and to ensure safe operation, the operator
must follow the hints and warnings given in this documentation.
1.2 Intended Use
The instrument is intended for weighing installations and is particularly suitable for tank and hopper
weighing and as a weight transmitter in intelligent control systems. Product operation, commissioning and
maintenance must be done by well trained and qualified persons who know of the risks and avoid them, or
take measures to protect themselves.
The instrument is latest state of the art. No warranty is taken that the product is free of errors, especially
with reference to the software and hardware required for operation and supplied by third parties. The
manufacturer does not take any liability for damage caused by incorrect use of this product. Using this
product implies recognition of the above-mentioned regulations.
1.3 Initial Inspection
Check the contents of the consignment for completeness and note whether any damage has occurred
during transport. If the content is incomplete or damaged, a claim must be filed with the carrier
immediately and the Sartorius sales or service organization must be informed to permit repair or
replacement of the unit.
1.4 Before Commissioning
Visual inspection!
Before commissioning and after storage or transport, inspect the instruments visually
for signs of mechanical damage.

Safety Hints PR 5211 Instrument Manual
EN-6 Sartorius
1.4.1 Installation
The instrument is designed for mounting on standard rails (35 mm, acc. to DIN 46277).
Caution!
Excessive heat may reduce the instrument lifetime!
When mounting on the rail, make sure that the distance from other instruments left and
right of the module is at least 20 mm.
1.4.2 Electrostatically Sensitive Components
This instrument contains electrostatically sensitive components. Therefore, potential equalization must be
provided when working at the instrument (antistatic protection).
1.4.3 Protective Earth
The connection to protective earth is done via the mounting rail.
1.4.4 Supply Voltage Connection
The supply voltage is 24 V DC +10 %/-15 %.
The power consumption is 8.2 W maximum.
For connection to 230/115 V AC an external power supply (e.g. Sartorius PR 1624/00
or Phoenix Mini Power) is required.

PR 5211 Instrument Manual Safety Hints
Sartorius EN-7
1.4.5 Failure and Excessive Stress
If the instrument is suspected of being unsafe, shut it down and protect it against accidental operation. This
is the case when the unit:
-is physically damaged,
-does not function any more,
-is stressed beyond the tolerable limits (e.g. during storage, transport).
1.4.6 Fuse
The instrument has got no fuse to be exchanged. The load cell supply is protected against short circuit by
multifuse elements. If the load cell supply switches off, disconnect the device from power. Search for the
reason and eliminate it. After a cooling down period of about 3 minutes the power can be switched on
again.
1.4.7 EMC-Compliant Installation
-Use only screened data cables.
-Connect screens on both ends with ground.
-Keep unscreened cable ends short.
-Connect screen rail to cabinet / housing with
low impedance.
-Use metal or metallized connector housings.
-Establish equipotential bonding between
instruments/system modules (Mandatory for
Ex-applications).
-Use standard reference potential.
-Connect mounting rail to protective earth.
-Install measure and data cables separately from
power cables.
