Safety Inspection
If there is any indication that safe
operation of the balance with the AC
adapter is no longer warranted:
§ Turn off the power and disconnect the
power cord from an electrical outlet
(mains supply) immediately
> Lock the AC adapter and power cord
in a secure place to ensure that the
equipment cannot be used during this
time
Safe operation of the balance with the
AC adapter is no longer ensured when:
– there is visible damage to the AC
adapter or power cord
– the AC adapter no longer functions
properly
– the AC adapter has been stored for a
relatively long period under unfavorable
conditions
In any of these cases, notify your
nearest Sartorius Service Center or the
International Technical Support Unit
based in Goettingen, Germany.
Maintenance and repair work may only
be performed by service technicians
who are authorized by Sartorius and
who
– have access to the required
maintenance manuals
– have attended the relevant service
training courses
We recommend that the balance
together with the AC adapter be
inspected by a qualified Sartorius
service technician according to the
following checklist:
– Leakage current <0.05 mA measured
by a properly calibrated multimeter
– Insulation resistance >7 megaohms
measured with a constant voltage
of at least 500 V at a 500 kohm load
The duration and number of
measurements should be determined
by a qualified Sartorius service
technician according to the particular
ambient and operational conditions
for the AC adapter. Such inspection
should be performed at least once
a year.

To ensure safe shipment, your balance
has been packaged to the extent necessary
using environmentally friendly materials.
After successful installation of the balance,
you should return this packaging for
recycling because it is a valuable source
of secondary raw material.
For information on recycling, including
recycling old weighing equipment, contact
your communal or municipal waste
disposal center or local recycling depot.
