Intended Use
The weighing platform is a component of a modular scale,
consisting of the weighing platform and an indicator (which
is comprised of an analog/digital converter and a display and
operator terminal); e.g., a Combics CIS indicator or a QCT01
terminal.
Each component comes with a separate installation and
operating manual.
Note:
The verifiable models (“-.CE”) can be verified for use as a scale
only when connected to a display and control unit/indicator.
Read the installation and operating instructions carefully before
connecting the IF.. weighing platform and putting it into
operation.
Warnings and Safety Precautions
Note:
Improper use or handling can result in damage and|or injury.
The flat-bed scale may be installed and operated by qualified
personnel only. Make sure you observe the warning and safety
information in its entirety during installation and operation,
as well as while performing maintenance and repair work on
the equipment. The standards, regulations, occupational safety
requirements and environmental protection laws valid in your
country must be observed. It is important that all personnel
using the equipment understand this information, and have
access to the relevant documents at all times. Furthermore,
the warning and safety information supplied with any electri-
cal equipment connected, such as peripheral devices, must be
observed as well. These warnings and safety precautions may
have to be supplemented by the equipment operator. All oper-
ating personnel must be informed of any additions to these
instructions. Make sure the equipment is accessible at all times.
General Provisions for Installing IF.. and IF.. CE Models
The IF.. and IF...CE models meet the EC Directives for electro-
magnetic compatibility and electrical safety.
– The IF.. and IF...CE models are not approved for use in hazard-
ous areas, medical facilities, nor areas exposed to potentially
explosive materials. Operating the IF.. and IF...CE models beyond
the restrictions indicated is not permitted, and is considered use
of the equipment for other than its intended purpose. Any instal-
lation work that does not con form to the instructions in this
manual will result in forfeiture of all claims under the manufac-
turer’s warranty.
– If the equipment housing is opened by anyone other than per-
sons authorized by Sartorius, this will negate its con for mity with
regulations governing its use and result in forfeiture of all claims
under the manufacturer’s warranty.
– Installation of the display and control unit/indicator must be
performed by a certified electrician who is familiar with the
assembly, start-up and operation of the system and with the
relevant guidelines and regulations, and has the required quali-
fications for performing the installation. If you need assistance,
contact your Sartorius dealer or the Sartorius Service Center.
– If no interface cable is connected, place a protective cap over the
female interface connector.
For the User
– Always make sure the equipment is disconnected from AC power
before performing any installation, cleaning, maintenance or
repair work on the scale or weighing system.
– If you see any indication that the scale cannot be operated
safely (for example, due to damage), turn it off and lock it in
a secure place or otherwise prevent use of the equipment for the
time being.
Note:
If the scale has been verified, the seals affixed to the equipment
indicate that only authorized service technicians are allowed to
open the scale and perform maintenance work, so that safe and
trouble-free operation of the equipment is ensured and the war-
ranty remains in effect. (IF...CE models can be verified for use in
legal metrology only when connected to a display and control
unit/indicator, such as the Combics indicator, isi display and
control unit, or QCT terminal). If any of the verification seals
are damaged, make sure to observe the national regulations
and standards applicable in your country in such cases. In some
countries, the verification becomes null and void and the equip-
ment must be re-verified.
– Chemicals (e.g., gases or dusts) that can corrode and damage
the inside or outside of the device must be kept away from
the equipment. Handle the equipment and any accessories in
accordance with the IP rating (IP65 or higher) and EN 60529.
– The casing on all connecting cables, as well as the casing on
wires inside the equipment housing, is made of PVC. Chemicals
that corrode this material must be kept away from these cables.
The casing of the power cable is made of rubber.
– Do not expose the scale to aggressive chemical vapors or to
extreme temperatures, moisture, shocks, or vibration.
The allowable operating temperature range is –10°C to +40°C
(+14°F to +104°F). Make sure the place of installation is ade-
quately ventilated to prevent build-up of excessive heat.
– If you use cables purchased from another manufacturer,
check the pin assignments in the cable against those specified
by Sartorius before connecting the cable to Sartorius equipment,
and disconnect any wires that are assigned differently.
The operator shall be solely responsible for any damage or inju-
ries that occur when using cables not supplied by Sartorius. Use
only genuine Sartorius spare parts.
