Installation Instructions
Installation Instructions
The equipment must be installed and put into operation by a trained Sartorius
dealer or service technician, who will also show you how to work with it.
Ambient Conditions
Choose a suitable place to set up the weighing platform. Avoid exposing the
weighing platform to the following ambient conditions:
– Extreme heat radiation
– Extreme vibration
– Aggressive chemical vapors
– Difficulty of access for maintenance and cleaning
Important:
If you need to use the weighing platform in an area exposed to heavy traffic
(e.g., fork-lift trucks), you should install a protective frame, consisting of
angular braces, around the weighing platform.
To calculate the dimensions for this protective frame, refer to the section
entitled "Dimensions (Scale Drawings)."
Conditioning the Weighing Platform
Do not expose the weighing platform to extreme moisture over long periods.
Moisture in the air can condense on the surfaces of a cold platform whenever
it is brought to a substantially warmer place. If you transfer the weighing
platform to a warmer area, make sure to condition it for about 2 hours at the
new ambient temperature, leaving it unplugged from the power supply.
Afterwards, if you keep the weighing platform connected to the power supply,
the continuous positive difference between the inside of the platform and the
outside will practically rule out the effects of moisture condensation.
IP65 Protection
In conformance with the IP65 protection rating, the weighing platform is dust-
tight (protection rating 6: resistant to penetration by dust particles, according
to particle size) and washdown-resistant (rating 5: resistant to splashes of
water, washdown-resistant).
IP65 protection is guaranteed only if:
– the seals were installed by a qualified technician, and
– the connecting cables and cable glands were installed and
connected by a qualified technician.
