Safety Instructions

The IP protection rating of the color-mixing scale in accordance with EN 60529 is 
IP 43.  
The device must be handled carefully in accordance with the IP protection rating.  
The environment must be suitably secured. 

The color-mixing scale meets all requirements for electromagnetic compatibility 
(EMC). Interference stronger than the maximum values specified in the standards 
(see Declarations of Conformity) should be avoided. 

The casing on all connection cables as well as the casing on the wires inside the 
equipment housing are made of PVC. Chemicals that corrode this material must 
be kept away from these cables.  
None of the components of the color-mixing scale should be exposed to ambient 
temperatures outside the range of 0°C to 40°C during operation. Sufficient 
ventilation must be provided, in order to avoid excessive build-up of heat.  

The equipment must only be used indoors. Avoid generating static electricity 
on glass and plastic parts. The color-mixing scale must be connected to the 
equipotential bonding conductor using a suitable low resistance method.  
All electrical circuits are earthed and electrically connected to the metal parts of 
the device.

–  The scale must be checked for correct function and safety by a trained and 

qualified person at appropriate intervals (e.g. checking the cable for damage). 

–  Operating personnel must be trained to recognize faulty operating states and to 

be able to initiate the necessary safety measures. 

Proceed with extreme caution when using pre-wired connection cables purchased 
from other manufacturers, as the pin assignments may not be compatible with 
Sartorius equipment.  
Only use cables and cable lengths approved by Sartorius.

–  The operator is solely responsible when using cables not supplied by Sartorius.

The scale should only be opened by trained personnel with the power 
disconnected. Danger to life: do not touch conductive parts of the power supply 
wiring!  

 The scale must be installed and operated in a way that ensures that the control 
unit cannot be damaged (e.g., by falling objects).  
If the control unit is damaged, disconnect the device from the power supply 
immediately. 

A defective device may only be repaired by trained service technicians in 
accordance with Sartorius guidelines. Only original replacement parts should be 
used. Always ensure that the equipment is disconnected from AC power before 
performing any maintenance, cleaning, or repair work.  
If the equipment is opened by anyone other than persons authorized by Sartorius, 
all claims under the manufacturer's warranty are forfeited. If necessary, speak to 
your dealer or the Sartorius Service Center.
