 Installation 

Setup Instructions

The following ambient conditions must be avoided when selecting the installation 
location so you can work with extra speed and accuracy:
–  Uneven installation location
– Drafts
–  Extreme moisture or chemical vapors
–  Extreme heat (e.g. avoid placing the terminal/control panel in close proximity to 

a heater or exposing it to direct sunlight). Do not set up the device in a control 
cabinet or in any other poorly ventilated location. 

–  Extreme vibrations

Follow all warnings and safety precautions. 

–  Before startup, make sure that the power cable is properly connected to the 

power supply. In particular, the protective conductor must be connected to the 
housing of the AC adapter. Connect all devices to the potential equalization 
using a ground connection cable (not included) via the equipotential bonding 
conductor terminals 

 on the device.  

Make sure that the cable gage conforms with national specifications. 
Installation must be carried out properly by trained personnel and according to 
commonly accepted technical standards.

–  Only cables and cable lengths approved by Sartorius should be used, which 

take account of the limitations of the cable lengths due to the capacity and 
inductance values (see appendix on EC Type Examination Certificate) and the 
EMC behavior.

–  The system should only be operated for the first time when it is certain that the 

area is not potentially explosive.

–  If deviations are evident during startup due to transport damage (no display, 

no backlighting, etc.), the system should be disconnected from the power 
supply and service professionals should be contacted. 
Make absolutely sure that the device is unplugged from the power supply 
before connecting/disconnecting data transfer or control lines. 
This explosion-protected color-mixing scale should be set up according to 
commonly accepted technical standards. The applicable national electrical 
codes and safety regulations for your particular country must be observed.

–  Before commissioning the color-mixing system in potentially explosive areas, a 

check must be carried out by or under the supervision of a qualified electrician 
to ensure that the system is in good working order.

Check whether or not the competent authorities (e.g. industrial supervisory board) 
need to be informed. It is also necessary to carry out inspections of the system 
during operation. Inspection intervals should be such that any significant defects 
that may occur can be identified in good time. Inspections should be carried out 
at least once every three years. The applicable requirements and guidelines should 
also be observed during operation.
