Instructions for Use in Hazardous Areas 
 
Weighing platforms of the series ISI 150IGG-H… and IS300IGG-H comply 
with the European Standards EN 50 021: 1999 and EN 5028-1-1-1 
according to the Statement of Conformity, No. TüV 01 ATEX 1739 X, 
including the 1
st

 Supplements (see “TÜV Certificates”). Therefore, they 
are suitable for use in Zones 2 and 22 hazardous areas. Their approval 
marking is: 
 
h II 3 GD IP67 Eex nR II T6 T80°C 
 
The type of explosion protection used in these weighing platforms involves 
protection of the housing against penetration of potentially explosive vapor. For 
this purpose, IP67 protection of the platform must be ensured when it is 
connected to the power source. Opening the platform or disconnecting cables 
while the scale is plugged into the power supply is strictly forbidden. Please 
read the installation instructions in the Annex 35751-000-16-A4. To install the 
power supply, please follow the installation instructions given in the section 
entitled “Connecting the Weighing Platform” in “Getting Started.”  
 
If you will be operating the platform outside the European Community in a 
Zone 2 hazardous area, you must comply with the national electrical code and 
applicable safety regulations of your country. Please ask your local Sartorius 
service technician, office or dealer for information on the currently valid 
regulations applicable in your country. 
 
The weighing platform may not be operated in Zone 0, 1, 20 or 21 hazardous 
areas, as it does not have an EX approval certificate for these areas. 
 
 
Any tampering with the weighing platform by anyone, other than installation of 
preload devices, will result in forfeiture of all claims under the manufacturer's 
warranty.
