Recycling
Safety Inspection
If there is any indication that safe
operation of the balance/scale is no
longer warranted:
§
Turn off the power and disconnect the
equipment from AC power immediately.
> Lock the equipment in a secure place
to ensure that it cannot be used for the
time being.
Notify your nearest Sartorius Service
Center. Repair work must be performed
by trained service technicians.
We recommend having the power
supply inspected by a certified electrician
at regular intervals, according to the
following checklist:
– Insulating resistance: > 7 megaohms
measured with a constant voltage of at
least 500 volts at a 500 K-ohm load
– Leakage current: < 0.05 mA measured
with a properly calibrated multimeter
Information and Instructions on
Disposal and Repairs
Packaging that is no longer required
must be disposed of at the local waste
disposal facility. The packaging is made
of environmentally friendly materials
that can be used as secondary raw
materials.
The equipment, including
accessories and batteries,
does not belong in your
regular household waste.
The EU legislation requires
its Member States to collect
electrical and electronic equipment and
disposed of it separately from other
unsorted municipal waste with the aim
of recycling it.
In Germany and many other countries,
Sartorius takes care of the return and legal-
ly compliant disposal of its electrical and
electronic equipment on its own. These
products may not be placed with the
household waste or brought to collection
centers run by local public disposal opera-
tions – not even by small commercial
operators.
For disposal in Germany and in the other
Member States of the European Economic
Area (EEA), please contact our service tech-
nicians on location or our Service Center
in Goettingen, Germany:
Sartorius Weighing Technology GmbH
Service Center
Weender Landstrasse 94-108
37075 Goettingen, Germany
In countries that are not members of the
European Economic Area (EEA) or where
no Sartorius affiliates, subsidiaries, dealers
or distributors are located, please contact
your local authorities or a commercial
disposal operator.
Prior to disposal and/or scrapping of
the equipment, any batteries should be
removed and disposed of in local collection
boxes.
Sartorius, its affiliates, subsidiaries,
dealers and distributors will not take back
equipment contaminated with hazardous
materials (ABC contamination) – either for
repair or disposal. Please refer to the
accompanying leaflet/manual or visit our
Internet website (www.sartorius.com) for
comprehensive information that includes
our service addresses to contact if you plan
to send your equipment in for repairs or
proper disposal.
