Care and Maintenance
Service
Regular servicing by a Sartorius
technician will extend the service life
of your balance/scale and ensure
its continued weighing accuracy.
Sartorius can offer you service contracts,
with your choice of regular maintenance
intervals ranging from 1 month
to 2 years.
Repairs
Repair work must be performed
by trained service technicians.
Any attempt by untrained persons
to perform repairs may lead
to hazards for the user.
Cleaning
! Disconnect the balance/scale from
the AC adapter and unplug any
data cables that are connected to
the balance/scale
! Make sure that no liquid enters the
balance/scale housing
! Do not use any aggressive cleaning
agents (solvents or similar agents)
§ Clean the balance/scale using
a piece of cloth which has been
wet with a mild detergent (soap)
§ After cleaning, wipe down
the balance/scale with a soft,
dry cloth
Safety Inspection
If there is any indication that safe
operation of the balance/scale with
the AC adapter is no longer
warranted:
§ Turn off the power and disconnect
the equipment from AC power
immediately
> Lock the equipment in a secure
place to ensure that it cannot be
used for the time being
Safe operation of the balance/scale
with the AC adapter is no longer
ensured when:
– there is visible damage
to the AC adapter
– the AC adapter no longer functions
properly
– The AC adapter has been stored
for a relatively long period under
unfavorable conditions
In this case, notify your nearest
Sartorius Service Center or the Inter-
national Technical Support Unit based in
Goettingen, Germany. Maintenance
and repair work may only be performed
by service technicians who are
authorized by Sartorius and who
– have access to the required
maintenance manuals
– have attended the relevant service
training courses
