Installation:
– Proceed with extreme caution when
using pre-wired RS-232 connecting
cables from other manufacturers,
as the pin assignments may not be
compatible with Sartorius equipment.
Check all pin assignments against the
cabling diagrams and disconnect any
lines that are not assigned.
– Connect only Sartorius accessories and
options, as these are optimally designed
for use with your Combics indicator.
The operator shall be solely responsible
for installation and testing of any
modifications to Sartorius equipment,
including connection of cables or
equipment not supplied by Sartorius.
Contact Sartorius for detailed operating
specifications in accordance with the
Standards for immunity to interference.
$ If you have any problems with your
Combics indicator, contact your local
Sartorius customer service center.
IP Rating:
– CISL models are rated to IP44
(with Option L1: IP65); CIS models are
rated to IP67.
– The IP65/IP67 protection rating is
ensured only if the rubber gasket is
installed and all connections are
fastened securely (including the caps on
unused sockets). Weighing instruments
must be installed and tested by a
certified technician.
– If you install an interface port after
setting up your indicator, keep the
protective cap in a safe place for future
use. The cap protects the interface
connector from vapors, moisture and
dust or dirt.
Using the Equipment in Legal
Metrology in the EU*:
– When the indicator is connected to a
weighing instrument and the resulting
weighing instrument is to be verified,
make sure to observe the applicable
regulations regarding verification. When
connecting a Sartorius weighing instru-
ment, please observe the "Guide to
Verification" on the enclosed CD and
the permitted weighing range as listed
in the Declaration of Conformity.
– EU legislation requires that a control
seal be affixed to the verified device.
The control seal consists of a sticker
with the "Sartorius" logo. This seal will
be irreparably damaged if you attempt
to remove it. If any of the verification
seals are damaged, make sure to observe
the national regulations and standards
applicable in your country in such cases.
In some countries, the verification will
become null and void and the equip-
ment must be re-verified.
