Safety Instructions
§
Please read these operating instructions
carefully before using your balance to
prevent damage to the equipment.
!
Do not use this equipment in hazardous
areas/locations.
!
The balance housing may be opened
only by Sartorius service technicians
who have been trained at the factory.
!
Make sure you disconnect the balance
from power before connecting or dis-
connecting peripheral devices to or
from the balance.
!
If you operate the equipment under
ambient conditions that require higher
safety standards, you must comply with
the installation regulations applicable in
your country.
When cleaning your balance, make
sure that no liquid enters the balance
housing; use only a slightly moistened
cloth to clean the balance.
Installation
!
Make sure the voltage rating printed on
the AC adapter is identical to your local
line voltage.
– Proceed with extreme caution when
using pre-wired RS-232 connecting
cables, as the pin assignments may not
be compatible with Sartorius equipment.
Check all pin assignments against the
cabling diagrams and disconnect any
lines that do not match.
!
If there is visible damage to the equip-
ment or power cord, disconnect the
equipment from power and lock it in a
secure place to ensure that it cannot be
used for the time being.
– Connect only Sartorius accessories and
options, as these are optimally designed
for use with your balance. The operator
shall be responsible for any modifica-
tions to Sartorius equipment and for
any connection of cables or equipment
not supplied by Sartorius and must
check and, if necessary, correct these
modifications and connections. On
request, Sartorius will be happy to pro-
vide information on operating specifica-
tions (in accordance with the Standards
for defined immunity to interference).

Do not open the balance. If the seal is
broken, this will result in forfeiture of
all claims under the manufacturer's
warranty.
