4 Care and Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning

Electrical hazard from voltage or current!
Disconnect the AC adapter (if connected) from
the mains. Unplug any connected data cables
from the ex-link converter. Never open the scale
or the AC adapter.
The parts contained in these cannot be cleaned,
repaired, or replaced by the operator.
− Make sure that no liquid or dust gets into the scale or the
AC adapter.
− Only use soft brushes and cloths for cleaning.
− Never use cleaning agents that contain solvents or
abrasive ingredients (e.g., scouring cream, steel wool).
This can ultimately damage the equipment.
Do not clean the following parts with acetone or
aggressive cleaning agents:
Mains socket, data interface, labels, and all other
plastic parts.
Cleaning the Control Panel
t
Turn off the device before cleaning the control panel,
since touching the screen could trigger unwanted inputs.
Cleaning the Scale Housing
t
Clean the device using a mild cleaning agent.
t
Use a soft cloth to dry the device.

4.2 Maintenance

Electrical hazard from voltage or current!
Repair work on the (optional) AC adapter must
only be carried out by trained service
technicians. Contact the Sartorius Service Center
or a Sartorius dealer for proper repairs.
To ensure the continued accuracy of your scale, we
recommend scheduling regular servicing at least once a year.
The Sartorius Service Center offers different service contracts
with maintenance intervals that are tailored to your needs.
A calibration certificate should always be issued as part of
every maintenance session. Safety inspections of the AC
adapter and its connections must be performed at appropriate
intervals by a qualified electrician (e.g., every 2 years).

5 Disposal

Packaging
The packaging is made of environmentally
friendly materials that can be used as
secondary raw materials. If the packaging is
no longer needed, it can be disposed of by
local waste disposal authorities.
Device
The equipment, including accessories and
empty non-rechargeable and rechargeable
batteries, does not belong in your regular
household waste; this equipment is manu-
factured from high-grade materials which
can be recycled and reused. European
Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) requires that
electrical and electronic equipment be
collected and disposed of separately from
other unsorted municipal waste, with the
aim of recycling it. The crossed-out waste bin
symbol indicates that separate collection is
required.
In Germany and several other countries, Sartorius itself
assumes responsibility for the return and legally compliant
disposal of its electronic and electrical products. These
products may not be placed with household waste or brought
to collection centers run by local public disposal operations
– not even by small commercial operators. Please contact the
Sartorius Service Center.
In countries that are not members of the European Economic
Area (EEA) or where no Sartorius subsidiaries or dealerships
are located, please contact your local authorities or a
commercial disposal operator.
Prior to disposal and/or scrapping of the equipment,
any batteries should be removed and disposed of at local
collection points.
Sartorius will not take back equipment
contaminated with hazardous materials (ABC
contamination) – either for repair or disposal.
Addresses for Disposal

your device can be found on our website (www.sartorius.com).
