Safety Instructions
3
  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�
3
  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� 
3
  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�
3
  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�
3
  Disconnect the balance from the wall outlet prior to moving the device� 
3
  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
3
  Avoid generating static electricity and establish potential equalization� A 10 kOhm ground is used when connecting 
the balance to the power supply�  
Disconnecting the ground conductor is not permitted�
3
  Models with a separate electronics module (e� g� MSE6�6/3�6/2�7 225S/P and 125P): Do not replace the electronics 
module�  
Replacing with, e� g� models of the ME/SE series will damage the device�
3
  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
  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
3
  Do not expose the device to aggressive chemical vapors or to unnecessarily extreme temperatures, moisture, shocks, 
or vibration�
3
  The device should be setup in areas away from equipment or devices that have strong magnetic properties�  
Extreme electromagnetic fields from electrical lines should also be avoided�
