2. Warning
2.1 Intended use
The instrument you have acquired serves to determine the
measuring value of the material to be measured. It is
intended to be used as a “non-automatic“ instrument, i.e.
the material to be measured is manually and carefully
attached at the instrument. The measuring value can be
read off after a stable measuring value has been obtained.

2.2 Inappropriate use
Do not use the instrument for dynamic measuring. In the
event that small quantities are removed or added to the
material to be
measured, incorrect measuring results can be displayed
due to the “stability compensation“ in the instrument.
(Example: Slow draining
off of liquid from a container suspended from the
instrument). Do not attach a continuous load. This can
damage the measuring
unit as well as the parts, relevant to safety.
Prevent jolts, torsion and oscillation (e.g. by appending
slopingly) of all kinds. Be sure to prevent overloading the
instrument in excess of the stated maximum load (max.),
minus any tare weight that may possibly exist. This could
damage the instrument (risk of breakage).
Important:
• Always make sure that there are no people or materials
below the load that could be injured or damaged!
• The instrument is not suitable for measuring people. Do
not use as baby scales!
• The instrument does not comply with the medical product
law (MPG).
Never operate the instrument in hazardous locations. The
series design is not explosion-proof. Structural alterations
may not be
made to the instrument. This can lead to incorrect
measuring results, faults concerning safety regulations as
well as to destruction
of the instrument. The instrument may only be used in
compliance with the described guidelines. Varying areas of
application/
planned use must be approved by SAUTER in writing.
