Cubis MSA User Manual 5
Safety Precautions
Note on cable quality:
CE conformity is only guaranteed with well shielded cables.
The shielding braid of the cable must be made of metal with at least 80% coverage and also covered with metal foil
as much as possible.
The shielding on both sides on the full metal or metalized connector casing, as well as on the casing inlet, must be
high-frequency compliant and have a flat design.
You can only turn off power to the device by pulling the plug or disconnecting the power cord, or by unscrewing the
four-pin plug at the DC supply cable for the balance.
Do not exert mechanical pressure on the display with sharp objects, as this will damage the display. Liquid
penetration can damage the electrical components.
Only use a lightly-moistened cloth for cleaning. See “Care and Maintenance” for cleaning the device. Do not
compromise the IP protection of the balance.
Do not open the balance housing. If the seal is broken, this will result in forfeiture of all claims under the
manufacturer’s warranty.
The device may only be opened by specialized personnel trained by Sartorius.
Disconnect the balance from the wall outlet prior to moving the device.
Avoid condensation damage to the device. When the balance is turned on, condensation build-up is not possible. If
the device is moved from a cool environment to a warm environment, you must allow the device to acclimatize for
approx. 2 hours before connecting to the power supply.
Hazards at the Place of Installation and During Operation
Avoid generating static electricity and establish equipotential bonding.
A 10 kOhm ground is used when connecting the balance to the power supply. Disconnecting the ground conductor is
not permitted.

Exercise caution to avoid glass breakage.
There is a danger of lacerations or cuts caused by sharp edges on glass or metal (contact springs), particularly when
removing or replacing the glass draft shield panels; during cleaning; if a glass sample container breaks, or when
modifying the balance hardware configuration.
3
Models with a separate electronics module (e. g. MSx6.6/3.6/2.7):.
Do not replace the electronics module.
Replacing with, e. g. models of the ME/SE series will damage the device.
3
Make sure all equipment operators have received proper instructions when working with hazardous or toxic materials.
Failure to follow correct handling procedures can result in breakage of parts or spillage of liquids or other substances.
Make sure the necessary protective clothing or equipment is worn, such as protective gloves, clothing, eyewear.
All safety regulations applicable in the laboratory must be observed.
3
Exercise caution to avoid squeezing or crushing fingers when
– Operating the electronic draft shield
– Removing or installing the panels
– Adjusting the display
Do not expose the device to aggressive chemical vapors or to unnecessarily extreme temperatures, moisture, shocks,
or vibration.
The device should be set up in areas away from equipment or devices that have strong magnetic properties. Extreme
electromagnetic fields from electrical lines should also be avoided.
