Care and
Maintenance
Service
Regular servicing by a Sartorius
technician will extend the service life
of your equipment and ensure its
continued weighing accuracy.
Sartorius offers its customers service
contracts with regular maintenance
intervals ranging from 1 month to
2 years.
The frequency of the maintenance
intervals depends on the operating
conditions and user’s tolerance
requirements.
Cleaning
! Unplug the scale from the power supply
and unplug any data cables connected
to the scale.
§ Clean the scale with a cloth lightly
moistened with soap solution.
§ Wipe down the scale with a soft,
dry cloth after cleaning.
! Make sure that no liquid enters the
scale.
! Do not use aggressive cleaning
agents (solvents or similar).
Cleaning the stainless steel surfaces
All stainless steel parts should be
cleaned at regular intervals.
Remove the stainless steel load plate
and thoroughly clean it separately.
Use a damp cloth or sponge to clean
stainless steel parts on the scale. You
can use any commercially available
household cleaning agent that is
suitable for use on stainless steel.
Stainless steel should be cleaned simply
by rubbing. Then clean the load plate
thoroughly, making sure to remove all
residues. Use a damp cloth or sponge
to clean stainless steel parts on the
scale. After this, let the device dry.
For additional protection, protective
oil may be applied.
! Only use solvents for cleaning stainless
steel parts.
Corrosive Environment
$ Remove all traces of corrosive
substances from the scale on a regular
basis.
Replacing the dust cover
> Replace damaged dust cover.
§ Place the new dust cover on the display
and control unit and press it over the
edge of the front and rear side of the
device until it is fixed in place.
Safety Inspection
Safe operation of the equipment is no
longer ensured:
– If the device or the mains connecting
lead shows visible damage.
– If the integrated power supply for the
display and control unit no longer
functions properly.
– If the device has been stored for long
periods under unfavorable conditions
(e.g. extreme dampness).
– Following rough handling during
shipment.
If safe operation of the equipment can
no longer be guaranteed:
§ Disconnect the power supply to the
equipment (unplug the power cord
from the wall outlet).
> Secure the equipment against further
use.
§ Notify your nearest Sartorius Service
Center.
Maintenance measures may only be
carried out by authorized Sartorius
service technicians:
– Who have access to the required
maintenance documents and manuals
– Who have attended appropriate service
training courses
! The seals on the device indicate that
the device may only be opened and
maintained by authorized specialist
personnel, so that the correct and safe
operation of the device is ensured and
the guarantee remains valid. If the
verification seals are damaged, the
equipment must be re-verified.
Disposal
If the packaging is no longer needed,
it can be disposed of by local waste
disposal authorities. The packaging is
made from environmentally-friendly
materials that can be used as secondary
raw materials.
The equipment, including
accessories and batteries,
should not be disposed
of as regular household
waste. EU legislation
requires its Member
States to collect electrical
and electronic equipment and dispose
of it separately from other unsorted
municipal waste with the aim of
recycling it.
In Germany and several other countries,
Sartorius itself assumes responsibility
for the return and conformant disposal
of its electronic and electrical products.
Such equipment may not be thrown
out with household waste or brought
to collection centers run by local public
disposal operations – not even by small
commercial operators.
For disposal in Germany and in the
other member nations of the European
Economic Area (EEA), please contact
our local service technicians or our
Service Center in Goettingen, Germany:

In countries that are not members of
the European Economic Area (EEA)
or where no Sartorius subsidiaries or
dealerships are located, please contact
your local authorities or a commercial
disposal operator.
Prior to disposal and/or scrapping of
the equipment, any batteries should
be removed and disposed of in local
collection boxes.
Sartorius will not take back equipment
contaminated with hazardous materials
(ABC contamination) – either for repair
or disposal. Please refer to our website

detailed information regarding repair
service addresses or the disposal of your
