Power to the device can only be switched off by pulling the plug or disconnecting
the mains connection line, or by unscrewing the four-pin plug at the DC supply
cable for the balance.

Equipment may be damaged by objects with points or sharp edges
(e. g., ballpoint pens).
Use only your fingertips to operate the buttons and softkeys.
Liquid penetration can damage the electrical components.
Use only a slightly damp cloth for cleaning. See Section “Care and Maintenance” for
instructions on cleaning the device. Do not compromise the IP protection of the balance.
Do not open the balance housing. If the seal is broken, this will result in forfeiture
of all claims under the manufacturer’s warranty. The device should only be opened
by specialized personnel trained by Sartorius.
Disconnect the balance from the wall outlet prior to moving the device.
Avoid condensation damage to the balance. When the balance is turned on, con-
densation build-up is not possible. If the device is moved from a cool environment
to a warm environment, you must allow the device to acclimatize for approx. two
hours before connecting to the power supply.
Good ventilation is required for devices with a built-in fan.
Heat build-up should be generally avoided. Maintain a minimum distance
of approx. 10 cm around the device.
Hazards at the Place of Installation and During Operation
Avoid generating static electricity and establish equipotential bonding. Grounding
(10 kilohms) is used when connecting the balance to the power supply.
Disconnecting the ground conductor is not permitted.
3
Exercise caution to avoid glass breakage.
There is a danger of lacerations or cuts caused by sharp edges on glass or metal
(contact springs), particularly when removing or replacing the glass draft shield
panels, during cleaning, if a glass sample container breaks, or when modifying
the balance hardware configuration.
3
Make sure all equipment operators have received proper instructions when working
with hazardous or toxic materials.
Failure to follow correct handling procedures can result in breakage of parts
or spillage of liquids or other substances. Make sure the necessary protective
clothing or equipment is worn, such as protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear.
All safety regulations applicable in the laboratory must be observed.
3
Exercise caution to avoid pinching or crushing fingers when
– Operating the electronic draft shield
– Removing or installing the panels
– Adjusting the display
Do not expose the device to aggressive chemical vapors or unnecessarily extreme
temperatures, moisture, shocks, or vibration.
The device should be setup in areas away from equipment or devices that have
strong magnetic properties. Extreme electromagnetic fields from electrical lines
should also be avoided.
The setup location should be kept clean and free of dust.
Always keep the balance freely accessible.
