Installation:
– Proceed with extreme caution when

as the pin assignments may not be
compatible with Sartorius equipment.
Check all pin assignments against the
cabling diagrams and disconnect any
lines that are not assigned.
! Always wear gloves, safety boots and
protective clothing when lifting the
load plate with a vacuum lifting pad.
Danger of injury! This work may
be carried out only by authorized and
properly trained personnel.
– Weighing platforms with dimensions
larger than 1 x 1 m are provided with
suspension supports. Be careful not
to stand under the load when the
weighing platform/load plate is being
transported or lifted with a crane.
Always comply with the applicable
accident prevention regulations. Make
sure to avoid damaging the terminal
box and housing or the load cell during
transport.
– Connect only Sartorius accessories and
options, as these are optimally designed
for use with your Combics indicator.
The operator shall be solely responsible
for installation and testing of any
modifications to Sartorius equipment,
including connection of cables or
equipment not supplied by Sartorius.
Contact Sartorius for detailed operating
specifications in accordance with the
Standards for immunity to interference.
– Do not expose the indicator to
aggressive chemical vapors or to
extreme temperatures, moisture,
shocks, or vibration.

models are rated to IP44
(with option L1: IP65);

CW2(F)S models are rated to IP67.
– The IP65/IP67 protection rating is
ensured only if the rubber gasket is
installed and all connections are
fastened securely (including the caps on
unused sockets). Weighing instruments
must be installed and tested by a
certified technician.

setting up your indicator, keep the
protective cap in a safe place for future

dust or dirt.
Using the Equipment in Legal
Metrology in the EU*:
– When the indicator is connected to a
weighing instrument and the resulting
weighing instrument is to be verified,
make sure to observe the applicable
regulations regarding verification. When
connecting a Sartorius weighing instru-
ment, please observe the “Guide to
Verification" on the enclosed CD and
the permitted weighing range as listed
in the Declaration of Conformity.
– EU legislation requires that a control
seal be affixed to the verified device.
The control seal consists of a sticker
with the “Sartorius" logo. This seal will
be irreparably damaged if you attempt
to remove it. If any of the verification
seals are damaged, make sure to observe
the national regulations and standards
applicable in your country in such cases.
In some countries, the verification will
become null and void and the equip-
ment must be re-verified.
