Storage and Shipping
Conditions
Allowable storage temperature:
0°C ...+40°C (+32°F ...+104°F)
– Unpackaged scales and weighing
platforms exposed to strong
vibrations may lose accuracy;
very strong shocks may have
a negative effect on the safety
of the equipment. The peripheral
equipment is more rugged.
– Do not expose the scale to
extreme temperatures, moisture,
shocks or vibration.
Unpacking the Scale
After unpacking the scale, check
it immediately for any visible
damage as a result of rough
handling during shipment.
$ If this is the case, proceed as
directed in the chapter entitled
"Care and Maintenance," under
the section on "Safety Inspection."
$ Note:
The display and control
unit is attached to the scale
by a connecting cable.
$ It is a good idea to save the box
and all parts of the packaging
until you have successfully installed
your scale. Only the original
packaging provides the best
protection for shipment.
$ Before packing your scale,
unplug all connected cables
to prevent damage.
$ The strip of cardboard between
the display and control unit and
the weighing platform is important
for protecting the equipment
during shipment.

Getting Started
Installation Instructions
The Sartorius Factory scales
are designed to provide reliable
weighing results under normal
ambient conditions. When choosing
a location to set up your scale,
observe the following so that you
will be able to work with added
speed and accuracy:
– Set up the scale on a stable,
even surface
– Avoid placing the scale in close
proximity to a heater or otherwise
exposing the scale to heat or
direct sunlight
– Protect the scale from drafts that
come from open windows or doors
– Avoid exposing the scale to ex-
treme vibrations during weighing
– Protect the scale from aggressive
chemical vapors
– Do not expose the scale to ex-
treme moisture over long periods
Turn off the equipment when
not in use.
Conditioning the Scale
Moisture in the air can condense
on the surfaces of a cold scale
whenever it is brought into a
substantially warmer place. If you
transfer the scale to a warmer area,
make sure to condition it for about
2 hours at room temperature,
leaving it unplugged from AC power.
Afterwards, if you keep the scale
connected to AC power, the
continuous positive difference in
temperature between the inside of
the scale and the outside will
practically rule out the effects of
moisture condensation.
Seal on Scales Verified for Use in
Legal Metrology in the EU*:
EU legislation requires that a con-
trol seal be affixed to the verified
scale. The control seal consists of
a sticker with the "Sartorius" logo.
This seal will be irreparably dam-
aged if you attempt to remove it.
If the seal is broken, the validity of
verification will become void and
you must have your scale reverified.
