Care and Maintenance 
 
 
 
Cleaning 
 
Before cleaning the balance, unplug the AC adapter from the wall out-
let. 
 
Please do no use any aggressive cleaning agents (solvents or similar 
agents). Instead, use a piece of cloth wet with a mild detergent. 
Make sure that no liquid enters the balance housing. 
After cleaning, wipe down the balance with a soft, dry piece of cloth. 
 
 
 
Safety Inspection 
 
lf there is any indication that safe Operation of the balance with the 
AC adapter is no longer warranted, turn off the power and unplug the 
balance from AC power. Lock the balance and AC adapter in a secure 
place to ensure that they cannot be used for the time being. 
 
Safe Operation of the balance with the AC adapter is no longer en-
sured when 
-  there is visible damage to the AC adapter 
-  the AC adapter no longer functions properly 
-  the AC adapter has been stored for relatively long periods un-
der unfavorable conditions 
 
In this case, notify your nearest Sartorius Service Center or the Inter-
national Service Support Department in Goettingen, Germany. Only 
service technicians who have access to the required maintenance 
manuals are allowed to perform maintenance and repair work on the 
equipment. 
 
We recommend the balance along with the AC adapter be inspected 
according to the following checklist by a qualified Sartorius service 
technician: 
-  Leakage current < 0.05 mA measured by a properly calibrated 
multimeter 
-  Insulation resistance > 7 megohms measured with a constant 
voltage of at least 500V at a 500 kohm load
