Warning and Safety Information
Read these operating instructions
thoroughly before using your balance/
scale to prevent damage to the equipment. Keep these instructions in a safe
place.
Follow the instructions below to ensure
safe and trouble-free operation of your
balance/scale:
!Make sure that the voltage rating
printed on the AC adapter is identical
to your local line voltage
!Use only a commercially available
9-volt battery or rechargeable battery
!Do not use this balance/scale in a haz-
ardous area/location
– The only way to turn the power off
completely is to disconnect the AC
adapter
– Connect only Sartorius accessories and
options, as these are optimally designed
for use with your balance/scale.
– Protect the AC adapter from contact
with liquid.
Do not open the balance/scale housing.
If the seal is broken, this will result in
forfeiture of all claims under the manufacturer’s warranty.

Getting Started
Warranty
Do not miss out on the benefits of our
full warranty. Please contact your local
Sartorius office or dealer for further
information. Complete the warranty
registration card, if available indicating
the date of installation, and return the
card to your Sartorius office or dealer.
Storage and Shipping Conditions
Do not expose the balance/scale to
shocks, vibration, moisture or extreme
temperatures.
Unpacking the Balance/Scale
§ After unpacking the balance/scale,
check it immediately for any visible
damage as a result of rough handling
during shipment.
$ If you see any sign of damage, proceed
as directed in the chapter entitled “Care
and Maintenance,” under the section on
“Safety Inspection.”
Save the box and all parts of the
packaging until you have successfully
installed your balance/scale. Only
the original packaging provides the best
protection for shipment. Before
packing your balance/scale, unplug all
connected cables to prevent dama
ge.

Installation Instructions
Your balance/scale is designed to
provide reliable weighing results under
normal ambient conditions. When
choosing a location to set up your balance/scale, observe the following so
that you will be able to work with
added speed and accuracy:
– Set up the balance/scale on a stable,
even surface
– Avoid placing the balance/scale in close
proximity to a heater or otherwise
exposing the balance/scale to heat or
direct sunlight
– Protect the balance/scale from drafts
that come from open windows or doors
– Avoid exposing the balance/scale to
extreme vibrations during weighing
– Protect the balance/scale from
aggressive chemical vapors
– Do not expose the balance/scale to
extreme moisture over long periods
Conditioning the Balance/Scale:
Moisture in the air can condense
on the surfaces of a cold balance/
scale whenever it is brought into a
substantially warmer place. If you
transfer the balance/scale to a
warmer area, make sure to condition it
for about 2 hours at room temperature,
leaving it unplugged from AC power.
Information
on Radio Frequency Interference
Warning!
This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manual, may cause
interference to radio communications.
It has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class A computing
device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15
of FCC Rules, which are designed to
provide reasonable protection against
such interference, when operated in a
commercial environment. Operation of
this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause interference, in which
case the user, at his own expense, will
be required to take whatever measures
may be required to correct the
interference.

that the edge for fitting the glass draft shield faces
upwards and turn it until it is firmly in place
– Pan support
– Weighing pan
– Glass draft shield
– Draft shield cover – place it on the balance/scale so
that the edge faces downwards

Connecting the Balance/Scale to AC Power/
Safety Precautions
Use only original Sartorius AC adapters:
– for Europe: 6971948 – for the RSA: 6971949
– for the U.S.: 6971947 – for Australia: 6971950
§ Insert the right-angle plug into the jack
§ The AC adapter rated to Class 2 can be plugged into
any wall outlet without requiring any
additional safety precautions
The ground is connected to the balance/scale
housing, which can be additionally grounded
for operation.
Using a Non-Rechargeable/Rechargeable Battery
(not for models BL210S, BL120S, BL60S, BL150S,
BL1500S, GC503, GC103, GM1502, GM2202,
GM1202)
$ A non-rechargeable or rechargeable battery is not
included with the equipment supplied
!Use only a commercially available non-rechargeable
or rechargeable 9-volt battery
!When using a rechargeable battery, always use an
external charger to recharge the battery
§ Lay the balance/scale on its side
§ Open the battery compartment:
Lift the compartment cover
§ Insert the 9-volt (rechargeable) battery in the
compartment
$ Make sure to connect the positive and negative
poles correctly
!All used batteries are classified as waste
that requires special handling (not “household”
waste). Dispose of rechargeable batteries in accor-
dance with the applicable special waste disposal reg-
ulations.
§ Close the battery compartment:
Press down on the cover until it clicks into place

Selecting the Line Voltage (Mains Voltage)
Use the following original AC adapters for selecting
the line voltage:
– AC adapter TNG8, order no. 6971951 (universal)
or
– AC adapter TNG8, order no. 6971952 (for the U.K.)
● Use the switch to toggle between 230 V and 115 V
Leveling the Balance/Scale
(only for models BL210S, BL120S, BL60S, BL150S,
BL1500S, GC503, GC103, GM1502, GM2202,
GM1202)
Level the balance/scale any time you set it up in
a new location. Use only the 2 front feet of the
balance/scale for leveling.
§ Turn the 2 rear feet until they are in position
(only on models BL1500S and GM1502, GM2202
and GM1202)
§ Turn the 2 front feet as shown here in the illustra-
tion until the air bubble is centered in the level
indicator
> In most cases, this will require several adjustment
steps
Anti-theft Locking Device
To protect against theft, use the mounting lug on
the rear panel of the balance/scale.
● Secure the balance/scale at the place of installation,
for example with a chain or a lock

Example
Basic weighing
Menu code settings: Factory-set codes
Step Key (or instruction) Display/Printout
1. Turn on the balance/scale e
Self-test is performed
2. Place container on balance/ + 52.0 g
scale (here: 52 g)
3. Tare the balance/scale t + 0.0 g
4. Place sample in container on + 150.2 g
balance/scale (here: 150.2 g)

Calibration/Adjustment*
Always calibrate/adjust the balance/scale after setting it up in a new location.
Available Features
Calibration/adjustment can only be performed when
– there is no load on the balance/scale,
– the balance/scale is tared,
– the internal signal is stable.
If these conditions are not met, an error message is displayed.
The weight required for calibration/adjustment is displayed (see “Accessories” for
calibration weights; for model GC503 see “Equipment Supplied”).
On Basic
lite
balances, calibration/adjustment can be performed with any of three weight
units: g, kg**, or lb (menu code 1. 4. x)
Factory setting: Grams (menu code 1. 4. 1)
Example
Calibrate the balance/scale
Menu code settings: Factory-set codes
Step Key (or instruction) Display/Printout
1. Turn on the balance/scale e
2. Tare the balance/scale t 0.0 g
3. Begin calibration t >2 sec. + 1000.0
Calibration weight is displayed
without weight unit (here: 1000 g)
4. Place the indicated calibration 1000.0
weight on the balance/scale
After calibration, the calibration + 1000.0 g
weight is displayed with wt. unit
5. Remove the calibration weight 0.0 g
* = “Calibration” technically means to determine the difference between the balance/scale readout
and the actual weight on the pan to determine the accuracy.
Adjustment means to bring a balance/scale into the state of accuracy required for its use.
Therefore, “calibration,” as used in this manual, actually means “adjustment.”
**= not on models with a readability of 0.1 mg
