Installation Instructions
Sartorius dealers or service technicians, who have received special training,
will help you set up the weighing platform and show you how to operate it.
Ambient Conditions
Choose a suitable place to set up the weighing platform. Avoid exposing the
weighing platform to the following ambient conditions:
– Extreme heat radiation
– Extreme vibration
– Places that are difficult to access for cleaning and maintenance
Important Note
If you need to use the weighing platform in areas exposed to heavy traffic
(e.g., fork-lift trucks), you should install a protective frame, consisting of angular
braces, around the weighing platform. To calculate the dimensions for this
protective frame, refer to the section entitled "Dimensions (Scale Drawings)."
Conditioning the Weighing Platform
Do not expose the weighing platform to extreme moisture over long periods.
Moisture in the air can condense on the surfaces of a cold platform whenever it
is brought to a substantially warmer place. If you transfer the weighing
platform to a warmer area, make sure to condition it for about 2 hours at the
new ambient temperature, leaving it unplugged from the power supply.
Afterwards, if you keep the weighing platform connected to the power supply,
the continuous positive difference between the inside of the platform and the
outside will practically rule out the effects of moisture condensation.
IP67 Protection
In conformance with the IP67 protection rating, the weighing platform will
remain leaktight for 30 minutes if immersed at a depth of 1 meter (approx.
3 ft.).
The IP67 protection of the weighing platform is ensured only under the
following conditions:
− The weighing platform is maintained in the original factory condition
− The rubber seals of the weighing cell and the A/D converter are not
perforated
− All cables are securely fastened in place by cable glands
− Both the weighing cell and the A/D converter enclosure are securely closed
