Installation
  Storage and Shipping Conditions
–  Once the equipment has been 
removed from the packaging, it may 
lose accuracy if subjected to strong 
vibration. 
–  Do not expose the equipment to 
unnecessarily extreme temperatures, 
moisture, shocks, blows or vibration.
$ It is a good idea to save the box and 
all parts of the packaging. Only the 
original packaging provides the best 
protection for shipment.
$ Before packing your equipment for 
shipping, unplug all connected cables 
to prevent unnecessary damage. 
$ Do not expose the equipment to 
gravitational acceleration in excess of 
300 m/s
2
 (unless additional equipment 
is installed on the load receptor).
  Incoming Inspection
  The customer shall inspect the 
product and packaging immediately 
upon delivery for proper functioning, 
completeness and absence of defects. 
This is to be performed in an incoming 
inspection within 10 days of delivery of 
the product or service. The incoming 
inspection must take place before the 
equipment is installed. Any obvious 
defects, errors, or incorrect delivery 
must be reported in writing. Defects 
detected at a later date must be 
reported in writing immediately upon 
detection. 
  Be sure to perform the following as 
part of the incoming inspection:
–  We recommend performing a 
repeatability test using an auxiliary 
draft shield to make sure there was no 
damage during transport. Sartorius PC 
configuration software can be used as 
a tool for this. 
  Equipment Supplied
–  Weigh cell
–  Electronics unit
–  Installation instructions (this manual)
–  AC adapter
–  Special accessories as listed on the bill 
of delivery or in accordance with any 
customer-specific agreement
$ An extension cord (weigh cell – 
electronics) is not included in the 
equipment supplied. If required, order 
separately or follow the notes on 
creating an extension cord connection. 
  Installation Instructions
The weigh cell is delivered in antistatic 
packaging along with its associated 
analog electronics.  
The other electronic components are 
packaged separately on a base plate in 
an antistatic bag.  
Before operating, always make sure that 
the serial numbers of the weigh cell and 
the electronics match.
The corresponding cable must be 
securely inserted into the electronics 
before initial startup.
  The device is designed to delivery reliable 
weighing results when installed properly.
  If you have any questions or difficulties 
setting up your weighing system, please 
contact the specialists at Sartorius.  
When designing and setting up the 
weigh cell and the electronics unit, 
please observe the following so that  
you will be able to work with added 
speed and accuracy:
–  Avoid exposing the equipment to the 
effects of extremely high temperatures; 
for example, caused by other electronic 
components, heaters or direct sunlight.
–  Protect the equipment from direct drafts 
that come from open windows or doors.
–  Avoid exposing the equipment to 
excessive vibrations during weighing; for 
example, caused by motors or valves.
–  Protect the equipment from aggressive 
chemical vapors.
–  Avoid extreme moisture.
–  Switch the system to Standby mode 
when not in use.
–  Avoid the effects of magnetism.
! Always calibrate/adjust the weigh cells 
after transport.
–  Equipment installed on the load 
receptor can interfere with weigh cell 
functions.  
The user accepts all liability 
for production release and the 
specifications of the entire equipment. 
The specifications attained by your 
system may differ from those listed in 
the “Specifications” chapter.
  Conditioning the equipment:
  Moisture in the air can condense on the 
surface of a cold weighing instrument 
or other device whenever it is moved 
to a substantially warmer place. If you 
transfer the equipment to a warmer 
area, make sure to condition it for 
about two hours at room temperature, 
leaving it unplugged from AC power. 
  Connecting the Weigh Cell to the 
Electronics Module
–  Plug the male connector of the 
connecting cable into the socket of the 
electronics unit and the weigh cell
