Care and Maintenance
Service
To ensure its continued weighing accuracy, we recommend performing regular
servicing on your analyzer at least once a year. The Sartorius Service Center offers
different service contracts for this purpose, which can be individually adapted to
suit your needs (see also www.sartorius.com/service). A calibration certificate
should always be issued as part of every maintenance session. The analyzer and its
connections must undergo a technical safety inspection on a regular basis carried
out by an electrician (e.g., every 2 years).
Repairs
Repair work must only be carried out by trained service technicians. The device
must be unplugged during repair work. Unplug the power cable from the socket.
Failure to do so may affect the measurement accuracy of your analyzer and pose a
serious risk to the user. Contact Sartorius Service or a Sartorius dealer for proper
repairs.
