3.7  Leveling
Leveling for PMA.HD and Verified Models
Leveling the scale compensates for slant or unevenness at the 
place of installation. The scale must be perfectly horizontal to 
ensure consistent, reproducible weighing results. 
The scale needs to be re-leveled and then adjusted if neces-
sary each time its setup location is changed.

shown in the illustration until 
the air bubble is centered within 
the circle of the level indicator.
 − Air bubble at “12 o'clock:” Turn 
both feet clockwise.
 − Air bubble at “3 o'clock:” Turn 
the left foot clockwise and the 
right foot counterclockwise.
 − Air bubble at “6 o'clock:” Turn 
both feet counterclockwise.
 − Air bubble at “9 o'clock:” Turn 
the left foot counterclockwise 
and the right foot clockwise.
3.8  Warm-up Time
Using a Scale Verified for Use in Legal Metrol-
ogy:
Ensure that there is a warm-up time of at least 
24hours after initial connection to the power 
supply.
To ensure accurate results are 
delivered, the scale must warm up 
for at least 30minutes after initial 
connection to the power supply. 
Only then will the device have 
reached the required operating 
temperature.
4  Cleaning and 
Maintenance
4.1  Cleaning
Before cleaning the AC adapter or the scale: Disconnect all 
devices from the power supply.
 WARNING Electrical Hazard from Voltage or 
Current
Disconnect the AC adapter (if connected) from the mains. 
Unplug any connected data cables from the PC. Never open 
the scale or the AC adapter. The parts contained in these 
cannot be cleaned, repaired or replaced by the operator.
NOTICE
Do not clean the following parts with acetone or aggressive 
cleaning agents:
 − Mains socket
 − Data interface
 − Labels, and all other plastic parts
Procedure
 t Disconnect the device from the power supply.
 t NOTICE Make sure that no liquid or dust gets into the 
scale or the AC adapter.
 t NOTICE Corrosion or damage to the device due to 
unsuitable cleaning agents!
 t Do not use corrosive, chloride-containing and aggres-
sive cleaning agents.
 t Do not use cleaning agents that contain abrasive 
ingredients, e.g. scouring agents, steel wool.
 t Only use soft brushes and cloths for cleaning.
 t Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents.
Cleaning the Control Panel
 t Before cleaning the control panel: Turn off the device as 
touching the screen could trigger unwanted inputs.
Cleaning the Device Housing
 t Wipe off the housing with a slightly damp cloth. For more 
severe contamination, use a mild soap solution.
 t Wipe the device with a soft cloth.
4.2  Servicing
To ensure the continued accuracy of your scale, we recom-
mend scheduling regular servicing at least once a year. 
Sartorius Service offers different service contracts with 
maintenance intervals that are tailored to your needs.
A calibration certificate should always be issued as part of 
every maintenance session. Safety inspections of the power 
supply and its connections must be performed at appropriate 
intervals by a qualified electrician (e.g. every two years).
