Getting Started
Connecting the Scale to AC Power
● Check the voltage rating and the plug design
– If they do not match the rating or standard you use, contact your Sartorius
office or dealer
Use only
– Original Sartorius AC adapters
– AC adapters with a registered approval rating from a national
testing laboratory
$ To use a main feeder cable from the ceiling or to mount a CEE plug,
you will have to make arrangements
$ See the chapter entitled “Accessories” for information on using an IP65-
protected industrial AC adapter or an external rechargeable battery pack
with your scale
● Insert the right-angle plug into the jack and then tighten the screws
● Then insert the plug of the AC adapter into a wall outlet (mains)
Safety Precautions
The AC adapter rated to Class 2 can be plugged into any wall outlet
without requiring any additional safety precautions. The pole of the output
voltage is connected to the scale housing, which can be grounded for
operation. The data interface is also electrically connected to the scale
housing (ground).
Note:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which
case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Sartorius AG could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Connecting Electronic Peripheral Devices
● Make absolutely sure to unplug the scale from AC power before
you connect or disconnect a peripheral device (printer or PC) to or from
the interface port.
Warmup Time
To deliver exact results, the scale must warm up for at least 30 minutes
after initial connection to AC power or after a relatively long power outage.
Only after this time will the scale have reached the required operating
temperature.
Using Verified Scales Approved for Use as Legal Measuring Instruments
in the EU*:
● The scale must warm up for at least 24 hours after initial connection
to AC power or after a relatively long power outage.
