Care and Maintenance

Service
Regular servicing by a Sartorius
technician will extend the service life
of your scale and ensure its con-
tinued weighing accuracy. Sartorius
can offer you service contracts, with
your choice of regular maintenance
intervals ranging from 1 month to
2 years.
Repairs
! Do not open the YPS02-X...
power supply while it is carrying
current. Wait at least 10 seconds
after disconnecting it from power
before beginning to open the
power supply. Proper fitting of all
surfaces is essential for safe
operation of the device; for this
reason the device must be opened
and closed by a certified techni-
cian. Use care in removing
and replacing the screws, be-
cause scratches on the power
supply will void the Ex-approval
rating.
! A defective power supply must
be disconnected from power
immediately. Repair work must
be performed by authorized
Sartorius service technicians using
original spare parts. Any attempt
by untrained persons to perform
repairs may result in considerable
hazards for the user.
! If a cable or cable connector
is defective or damaged, replace
the entire cable as a single unit.
Cleaning
! Unplug the power supply from the
wall outlet (mains supply). If you
have a data cable connected
to the interface, unplug it from the
scale.
! Make sure that no dust or liquid
enters the scale housing.
! Do not use any aggressive
cleaning agents (solvents or
similar agents).
Clean the scale using a piece
of cloth which has been wet with
a mild detergent (soap)
Carefully remove any sample
residue/spilled powder by using
a brush or a hand-held vacuum
cleaner
! Do not wash down the equipment
with water or dry it with com-
pressed air; this is not permitted.
Cleaning the Dust Cover
! Clean the dust cover outside the
hazardous area or location only.
! Do not use a dry cloth to wipe off
or rub the dust cover.
$ After cleaning, decharge the dust
cover to remove static electricity;
for example, wipe all surfaces
with a moistened and grounded
cloth.
