Warmup Time
To deliver exact results, the weighing platform must warm up for at least 30
minutes after initial connection to AC power or after a relatively long power
outage. Only after this time will the weighing platform have reached the
required operating temperature.
Preparing the Weighing Platform for Verification for Use in Legal Metrology
in the EU:
*
Allow the weighing platform to warm up for at least 24 hours
after initial connection to the power supply.
* including the Signatories of the Agreement on the European Economic Area
Menu Access Switch
Prior to Verification:
– All settings in the operating menu are accessible
(once the weighing platform has been verified for use in legal metrology,
menu items relevant to legal metrology are blocked)
– Select configuration settings from corresponding specifications group
(configuration cannot be changed after verification)
– Block the 'write' function for the xBPI interface
Function of the Menu Access Switch in Verification for Use in Legal
Metrology:
When the menu access switch (9) is open, weighing ranges can be
configured and calibration/adjustment can be performed, prior to
verification.
After Verification:
Move the menu access switch (9) to the left. Configuration settings relevant to
use of the weighing platform in legal metrology are no longer accessible.
Operating Limits
Maximum Overload Capacity
Because Sartorius weighing platforms are constructed to withstand rough
treatment in industrial environments, the platform will not be damaged if
occasionally loaded beyond the maximum weighing capacity.
The maximum overload capacity of this IS model is 130 kg.
Shock Resistance
Even though Sartorius weighing platforms feature highly rugged construction,
there are some limits. Avoid dropping objects from a considerable height
onto the weighing platform and do not expose the platform to strong side
impact. Sartorius weighing platforms are shock resistant in accordance with
the shock response spectrum defined in the IEC68 standard, Part 2-27.
