Storage and
Shipping Conditions
Allowable storage temperature:
+5 °C ...+40 °C
+41°F ...+104°F
The packaging has been designed
to ensure that the scale will not be
damaged even if it is dropped from
a height of 80 centimeters (about
31 inches).
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."
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 equip-
ment during shipment!
Important Note Concerning
Verified Scales Approved for Use
as Legal Measuring Instruments
in the EU*:
Provided that an official seal is
required for the verified scale,
a control seal is affixed to the
scale. This seal will be
irreparably damaged if you
attempt remove it. If the seal is
broken, the validity of the
verification will become void and
you must have your scale
re-verified.

Installation Instructions
The Sartorius Factory scales
are designed to provide reliable
weighing results under normal
ambient conditions in the laboratory
and in industry. 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
extreme vibrations during weighing
– Protect the scale from aggressive
chemical vapors
– Do not expose the scale to
extreme moisture over long periods
– Level the scale at the place
of installation
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.
Monitoring Ambient Conditions
When Using Verified Scales
Approved for Use as Legal
Measuring Instruments in the EU*:
$ For scales of accuracy class
k, a thermometer and baro-
meter are recommended for
monitoring ambient conditions.
