Grounding (Earthing) Using an Equipotential Bonding Conductor § Connect the scale using a grounding cable (equipotential bonding conductor not part of the equipment supplied) to the main grounding terminal. In addition, the metal housing of the AC adapter (power supply) is grounded by the protective grounding conductor of the power cable.
Operating Design The Economy Series weighing instruments from Sartorius consist of a weighing platform and a display and control unit. In addition to the AC adapter, these weighing instruments also have an interface port for connecting a printer, computer, universal remote control switch, or other device.

Error Codes Error codes are displayed for 2 seconds in one of two formats: – Processing error: “E” and 2 digits – Hardware malfunction: “E” and 3 digits See the chapter entitled “Error Codes” for a detailed description of error codes.
Installing the Column EB..DCE-IX, EB..EDE-IX Models: Gently turn the scale over so that the pan support is on the bottom; place it on a soft surface. Sever the two cable retainers that hold the display cable Remove the strain relief clamp Remove the fastening screws from the display and control unit, and remove this unit.
Page 21
Gently turn the scale right side up. Use the Phillips screw supplied (4x20 mm) to attach the column to the flange on the base plate. Attach one of the two cap-shaped lock washers supplied to the bolt provided. Insert the fastener located on the rear panel of the display and control unit into the upper end of the column.
Page 22
Fasten the cable with the 3 cable retainers on the back of the column. Loop the surplus cable length and bind it with the cable ties provided. Replace the strain-relief clamp on the bottom of the scale. Note: Make sure that the cable does not come into contact with the pan support or the load plate.
Page 23
EB...FEG-IX: Gently turn the scale over so that the pan support is on the bottom; place it on a soft surface. Use an appropriate tool, such as a pair of side nippers, to sever the cable retainers. Detach the display and control unit from the base-mounted display flange.
Page 24
Use a 7-mm open-end wrench to fasten the 4 hexagonal nuts that attach the column retainer to the base plate of the scale. Gently turn the scale right side up. Use the Phillips screw supplied (4x20 mm) to attach the column to the retainer. The two raised metal buttons on the column retainer prevent the column from turning while you tighten the screw.

Connecting Cables RS-232 cables purchased from other manufacturers often have incorrect pin assignments for use with Sartorius scales. Be sure to check the pin assignment against the chart below before connecting the cable, and disconnect any lines marked “Internally Connected” (e.g., pin 6). Failure to do so may damage or even completely ruin your scale and/or peripheral device.
