Preliminary Remarks Intended Use Safety Instructions
These operating instructions are included
in delivery of the equipment and must
be accessible at all times in the area in
which the system is installed.
The operating instructions must be
supplemented by applicable national
regulations for accident prevention and
environmental protection. National
regulations governing safety and correct
operation of the equipment must be
applied. The operator of the system is
responsible for observance of all safety
precautions and for the operation of the
equipment in accordance with its
intended use. Use of this system in
hazardous areas (Zones 0, 1, 2, 20, 21
or 22), in areas containing potentially
explosive agents, out of doors, or in
areas in which explosive gases, vapors or
dusts can form is not permitted.
The operator accepts 100% liability in
this respect. The minimum required age
for operating personnel is stipulated by
law and must be observed. Each person
operating this equipment must be
trained so that he or she is familiar with
the handling of the system and can
operate the equipment without hazards
to persons or property. The operating
instructions must be read and observed
by all users who work with or near the
system; for example, in:
– operation, troubleshooting during nor-
mal operation, elimination of production
waste, care or disposal of operating and
auxiliary materials
– machine maintenance (including
maintenance, inspection, corrective
maintenance)
– transport
Sartorius accepts no liability for damage
or injury resulting from failure to observe

The machine/system is intended to be
used exclusively for dynamic weighing.
Dynamic weighing modules of the WM
(“Weighing in Motion”) series enable
considerable flexibility in planning cus-
tomer-specific adaptations for product
feed and discharge. WM series equip-
ment can be used to check samples
weighing from 25 g (minimum sample
quantity) to 35 kg (maximum capacity).
One weight value is detected and
output for each sample or product (i.e.,
each object weighed). When using the
Quality series equipment, target values
for up to 25 products can be stored for
checkweighing. The differences between
the individual WM models are in the
width and length of the conveyor belts.
Mechanical classification and sorting
lines can be connected downstream
from the checkweigher. A PC or PLC
system can be connected for processing
measurement data or control signals
from the WM checkweigher.
The machine/system is designed for
use in dry production/logistics areas, for
final packaging or secondary packaging.
Any other use, or use that extends
beyond the tasks described here,
constitutes use of the equipment for
other than its intended purpose.
Conveyance of people or animals is
expressly prohibited.
