Storage and Shipping
Conditions
Allowable storage temperature:
0 °C ...+40 °C (+32°F ...+104°F)
The packaging has been designed
to ensure that the balance will not be
damaged even if it is dropped from
a height of 80 centimeters (about
31 inches). Do not expose the
balance to extreme temperatures,
blows, shocks, vibration or moisture.
Unpacking the Balance
After unpacking the balance,
check it immediately for any
visible damage as a result of
rough handling during shipment.
k If this is the case, proceed
as directed in the section on
"Safety Inspection" in the chapter
entitled "Care and Maintenance."
It is a good idea to save the box
and all parts of the packaging until
you have successfully installed your
balance. Only the original packag-
ing provides the best protection
for shipment. Before packing your
balance, unplug all connected cables
to prevent damage. The cardboard
strips between the display and
control unit and the weighing
platform are part of the protective
packaging for shipment!
Important Note Concerning
Verified Balances Approved for
Use as Legal Measuring Instru-
ments in the EU*:
Provided that an official seal is
required for the verified balance,
a control seal is affixed to the
balance. This seal will be irrepar-
ably damaged if you attempt to
remove it. If the seal is broken,
the validity of the verification will
become void, and you must have
your balance re-verified.

Installation Instructions
pro
The Sartorius Master balances
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 balance,
observe the following so that you will
be able to work with added speed
and accuracy:
– Set up the balance on a stable,
even surface
– Avoid placing the balance
in close proximity to a heater or
otherwise exposing the balance to
heat or direct sunlight
– Protect the balance from
drafts that come from open
windows or doors
– Avoid exposing the balance
to extreme vibrations during
weighing
– Protect the balance from aggres-
sive chemical vapors
– Do not expose the balance
to extreme moisture
Conditioning the Balance
Moisture in the air can condense
on the surfaces of a cold balance
whenever it is brought into a substan-
tially warmer place. If you transfer
the balance 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 balance
connected to AC power, the
continuous positive difference in
temperature between the inside
of the balance and the outside will
practically rule out the effects
of moisture condensation.
