Information on use of the printer in legal metrology
(legal-for-trade applications):
The German National Institute of Physics and Metrology
(PTB) has issued an independent test certificate for the
YDP20-0CE (see certificate for number). With this cer-
tificate, the printer can be operated in legal metrology
in the EU and the EEA. This applies only when the
printer is connected to a weighing instrument that has
an EC type approval certificate, or a national equivalent,
certifying that the weighing instrument is verifiable for
legal metrology.
– Set up the printer so that you can view both the print-
out and the weight readout of the connected weighing
instrument
– For verified weighing instruments in which e does not
equal d:
For verified weighing instruments with e d: For a ver-
ified weighing instrument that does not transfer the
designation of the last display digit to the printer,
configure the data printer so that the last digit
of the weight value is inversely printed (see “Printer
Port Settings” in the chapter entitled “Configuration”)
Note:
For verified weighing instruments with e = d and d
< 0.1 mg, inverse printing of the last digit of the weight
value is not permitted.
If the printer is subsequently connected to a verified
weighing instrument that is used in legal metrology,
notify your local weights and measures inspection
office, or contact your local Sartorius service center if
you wish to have the data printer configured and pre-
pared for verification for legal metrology.
The above does not apply to printers that are used in
legal metrology upon initial commissioning.
