Ambient Conditions 
 
The Sartorius Basic Balance is designed to provide reliable weighing 
results under normal conditions in the laboratory and in industry. 
When choosing the area to Setup your balance, avoid exposing it to 
the ambient conditions listed in the following so that you will be able to 
work with added speed and accuracy: 
 
- extreme heat radiation 
 
- drafts 
 
- inclined position 
 
- extreme vibrations 
 
- aggressive chemical atmospheres 
 
The balance may 
not
 be used in a hazardous location/area where 
there is danger of explosion. 
 
Do not expose the balance to extreme moisture over long periods. 
Moisture in the air can condense on the surfaces of the balance 
whenever a cold balance is brought to a substantially warmer place. lf 
you need to transfer the balance to a warmer area, make sure to con-
dition it for about two hours at room temperature (with the AC adapter 
disconnected). 
Afterwards, if you keep the balance connected to power supply, the 
continuous positive difference in temperature between the inside of 
the balance and the outside will practically rule out the effects of mois-
ture condensation.
