For detailed Information on further options for powering the weighing
platform (e.g., using local low voltage), contact Sartorius AG headquarters
in Germany or one of the main offices based in your country.
Whenever possible, avoid wiring your weighing platform into networks that
carry a heavy load (for instance, a compressor or similar equipment).
Hook up the weighing platform to the power supply in
conformance with the Installation requirements of your country.
Safety Precautions
The Sartorius power supply rated to Industrial Class 2 can be
plugged into any electrical outlet without requiring any additional
safety precautions. The ground or earth terminal is connected to
the platform housing, which can be additionally
grounded/earthed, if required.
Install the power cable for connection to an
isi industrial terminal
or a Computer with adequate protection so that the cable cannot
get damaged.
Fixed Power Connection:
If the power cable is permanently installed or secured so that it
cannot be unplugged, the weighing platform must be able to be
switched off by a suitable emergency switch. This emergency
switch must be installed near the weighing platform and be within
easy reach. In addition, this switch must be labeled as an
emergency switch. All operators must be shown how to operate
this switch.
Installing the Weighing Platform in Zone 2 Hazardous Areas:
If you need to install the platform in Zone 2 hazardous areas,
make sure to comply with the applicable requirements. In
Germany, these requirements are Elex V and VDE 0165 which
stipulate the following:
If a fixed mains socket outlet (electrical outlet) is used to connect
the AC adapter or power supply to line power, this connection
must be securely locked in place so that the plug cannot be
inserted or disconnected when the power is on. Alternatively, you
must use an explosion-protected outlet/plug.
