Storage and Shipping
Conditions
Allowable storage temperature:
+0 °C …+40 °C
The packaging has been designed
to ensure that the scale will not be
damaged even if it is dropped from
a weight of 80 centimeters (approx.
2.5 ft.).  Do not expose the scale to
extreme temperatures, blocks, shock,
vibration or moisture.
Unpacking the Equipment
● After unpacking the equipment,
check it immediately for any
visible damage as a result of
rough handling during shipment
k Important Note:
The display and control and
the weighing platform are
attached to each other by a
connecting cable
k If the equipment is damaged,
see “Care and Maintenance”
in the section entitled
“Safety Inspection”
It is a good idea to save the box
and all parts of the packaging until
you have successfully installed
the equipment.  Only the original
packaging provides the best
protection for shipment.  Before
packing your equipment, unplug all
connected cables to prevent
damage.  The cardboard strips
between the display and control
unit and the weighing platform are
part of the protective packaging
for shipment!

Installation Instructions
Sartorius Factory Series Scales
are designed to provide reliable
weighing results under normal
operating conditions.  When
choosing a location to set up your
scale, observe the following so
that you will be able to work with
added speed and accuracy:
– Set up the scale on a stable,
even surface
– Avoid placing the scale in close
proximity to a heater or otherwise
exposing the scale to heat or
direct sunlight
– Protect the scale from direct
exposure to drafts that come from
open windows or doors
– Avoid exposing the scale to
extreme vibration during weighing
– Protect the scale from aggressive
chemical vapors
– Do not expose the scale to
extreme moisture
Conditioning the Scale
Moisture in the air can condense
on the surfaces of a cold scale when-
ever it is moved to a substantially
warmer place.  If you transfer the
scale to a warmer area, make sure
to condition it for about 2 hours at
room temperature, leaving it unplugged
from AC power.  Afterwards, if you
keep the scale connected to AC
power, the continuous positive
difference in temperature between
the inside of the scale and the
outside will practically rule out the
effects of moisture condensation.
Seal on Scales Verified for Use in
Legal Metrology in the EU*:
EU legislation requires that a control
seal be affixed to the verified scale.
The control seal consists of a sticker
with the “Sartorius” logo.  This seal
will be irreparably damaged if you
attempt to remove it.  If the seal is
broken, the validity of the verification
will become void, and you must
have your scale re-verified.
