Page 145: Replacing The Pcb
– If you conduct a high-voltage test, the electronic components on the PCB will definitely be destroyed. – Only technicians certified by Sartorius to work on explosion protected equipment may perform soldering work on the PCB!
Page 146: Sbi/Bpi Toggling
PCB may be blown. Note: Only technicians certified by Sartorius to work on explosion-protected equipment may replace original fuses with an explosion protection rating. Because of the different amperages, it is very important to make sure that fuses are in the right position and that they have the right strength.
