Care and Maintenance
Servicing
Regular servicing by a Sartorius technician will extend the service life of your
weighing platform and ensure its continued weighing accuracy. Sartorius can
offer you service contracts, with your choice of regular maintenance intervals
ranging from 1 month to 2 years.
Cleaning
Before cleaning the weighing platform, unplug it from the power supply
(disconnect the AC adapter).
To clean the weighing platform when it has been exposed to dry ambient
conditions:
- Use a piece of cloth wet with a commercially available cleaning agent to
wipe down the weighing platform
To clean the weighing platform when it' has been in a wet environment:
- Use a commercially available cleaning agent and a gentle, low-pressure jet
of water to hose down the platform after-wards
The weighing platform, which has been tested according to EN 60529 and
found to comply with the IP67 protection Standard, will remain leaktight for a
maximum of 30 minutes if immersed at a maximum depth of 1 meter
(approx. 3 ft.).
However, pressurized water (e.g., strong jets of water using a hose or high-
pressure cleaning equipment) is not allowed to clean the IP67-protected
weighing platform.
To clean the weighing platform exposed to a corrosive environment:
- Regularly remove all traces of corrosive substances from the platform
- Follow the manufacturer's directions provided for the particular disinfectants
and cleaning agents you use to clean the weighing platform
Important Note:
lf the water that you use to clean the weighing platform is too hot or cold, the
difference in temperature between the water and the platform can cause
condensation within the platform (according to EN 60529 on IP67 protection).
This condensation may cause the weighing platform to malfunction.
Never use concentrated acids, bases, solvents or pure alcohol to clean the
weighing platform!
