Conditioning the Scale
Moisture in the air can condense on the surfaces
of a cold scale whenever it is brought into a
substantially warmer place. If you transfer the scale
to a warmer area, make sure to condition it for
about 2 hours at room temperature, leaving it
unplugged from AC power. Afterwards, if you keep
the scale connected to AC power, the continuous
positive difference in temperature between the inside
of the scale and the outside will practically rule out
the effects of moisture condensation.
Seal on Scales Verified for Use in
Legal Metrology in the EU*:
EU legislation requires that a control seal be
affixed to the verified scale. The control
seal consists of a sticker with the “Sartorius” logo.
This seal will be irreparably damaged if you
attempt to remove it. If the seal is broken, the
validity of verification will become void and
you must have your scale re-verified.
