Safety
§
To prevent damage to the equipment,
please read these operating instructions
carefully before using the balance/scale.
!
Do not use this equipment in
hazardous areas.
!
The balance/scale may be opened only
by trained service technicians.

Disconnect the balance/scale from

necting peripheral devices.

If you operate the balance/scale under
ambient conditions subject to higher
safety standards, you must comply
with the applicable installation regula-
tions.

Exposure to excessive electromagnetic
interference can cause the readout
value to change. Once the disturbance
has ceased, the instrument can be used
again in accordance with its intended
purpose.
Make sure that no liquid enters the
equipment housing; use only a slightly
moistened cloth to clean the
balance/scale.
Installation
!
Make sure the voltage rating printed
on the power supply is identical to your
local line voltage.
– Proceed with extreme caution when
using pre-wired RS-232 connecting
cables, as the pin assignments may not
be compatible with Sartorius equipment.
Before connecting the cable, check all
pin assignments against the cabling
diagrams and disconnect any lines that
are assigned differently.
!
If there is visible damage to the equip-
ment or power cord, disconnect the
equipment from power and lock it in
a secure place to ensure that it cannot
be used for the time being.
– Connect only Sartorius accessories and
options, as these are optimally designed
for use with your Extend balance/scale.
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.
On request, Sartorius will be happy
to provide information on operating
specifications (in accordance with the
Standards for defined immunity to
interference).
