Care and Maintenance

Cleaning

$

Unplug the weighing instrument from the AC power before cleaning. Remove dust from the

weighing platform regularly (see EC type-examination certificate)

$

If the weighing instrument is in a dry room, use a damp cloth to wipe down the weighing

platform.  You can use common household cleaning agents.  Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for the cleaning agent.

$

The leveling feet are covered with rubber buffers.  In hazardous areas/locations, these must be

cleaned using only a damp cloth.  This prevents build-up of static electricity.

!

Never use concentrated acids, bases, solvents or pure alcohol to clean the weighing platform.

$

To clean the weighing platform in a wet area, wash it down using a gentle stream of water

(60°C max.) sprayed over the top of the load plate.

!

Do not use high-pressure cleaning equipment to clean the weighing platform.

> If the water that you use to clean the weighing platform is too hot or too cold, the difference in

temperature between the water and the weighing platform can cause condensation within the
weighing platform.  This condensation may cause the weighing platform to malfunction.

$

If the scale is installed in a pit, make sure that no debris builds up in the crevices between the

pit and the platform, to prevent weighing errors.

$

Regularly remove debris from the bottom of the pit.

Cleaning the Inside of the Weighing Platform

$

To clean the inside of the weighing platform, remove the load plate. Be especially careful when

removing the load plate from scales of 1000 x 1000 mm or larger.

!

Please follow the safety instructions.

$

Use compressed air to blow debris out of the inside of the scale or flush out using a gentle

stream of water (60°C max.). Make sure that no debris builds up in the gap between the load
receptor and the fastening plate, to avoid compromising the overload protection.

Corrosive Environment

$

Remove all traces of corrosive substances from the weighing platform on a regular basis.

Instructions for Recycling the Packaging

If you no longer need the packaging after successful installation of the equipment, you should

return it for recycling, as it is a valuable source of secondary raw material.  Sartorius products
are packaged to ensure safe shipment using environmentally friendly materials.  For information
on recycling options, including recycling of old weighing equipment, contact your municipal
waste disposal center or local recycling depot.  Make sure you remove the batteries before
disposing of the equipment.  Rechargeable batteries are toxic waste and as such may not be
disposed of with normal household waste.  Contact your municipal waste disposal center or local
recycling depot for details on the proper disposal of batteries.
