Care and Maintenance Service Cleaning Regular servicing by a Sartorius Unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet technician will extend the service life (mains supply). If you have an interface of your balance/scale and ensure its cable connected to the balance/scale port, continued weighing accuracy.
Page 67
– the AC adapter has been stored for a relatively long period under unfavorable conditions. Maintenance and repair work may be performed only by service technicians who are authorized by Sartorius and who – have access to the required maintenance man- uals. – have attended the relevant service training courses.
Instructions for Recycling the Packaging To ensure safe shipment, your balance/scale has been packaged using environmentally friendly materials. After successful installa- tion of the balance/scale, you should return this packaging for recycling. For information on recycling options, including recycling of old weighing equipment, contact your municipal waste disposal center or local recycling depot.
