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 block battery or rechargeable
battery
! Do not use this balance/scale
in a hazardous 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. Complete the warranty
registration card, 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, vibrations, 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 damage.
Equipment Supplied
The equipment supplied includes the
components listed below:
– Balance/scale
– Weighing pan/load plate
– Pan support (only with models that
have a round weighing pan)
– Glass draft shield
(only with model BL150S)
– AC adapter
– Operating instructions
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.

Setting up the Balance/Scale
Basic
lite
Balances with a Glass Draft Shield:
§ Place the components listed below on
the balance in the order given:
– Shield ring – place it on the balance so 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
Basic
lite
Balances/Gold Scales with
a Round Weighing Pan
§ Place the components listed below on the
balance in the order given:
– Pan support
– Weighing pan/load plate
Basic
lite
Balances/Gold Scales with
a Rectangular Weighing Pan
§ Place the weighing pan/load plate on the
balance/scale
Connecting the Balance/Scale to AC Power/
Safety Precautions
Use only
– Original Sartorius AC adapters
§ 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 (Rechargeable) Battery
$ Battery is not included with the equipment
supplied
! Use only a commercially available
(rechargeable) 9-volt block battery
! When using a rechargeable battery, always use
an external recharging device to recharge the
battery
§ Lay the balance/scale on its side
§ Open the battery compartment: Lift the
compartment cover
§ Insert the 9-volt (rechargeable) block 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
accordance with the applicable special waste
disposal regulations.
§ Close the battery compartment: Press down on
the cover until it clicks into place
Leveling the Balance/Scale
(only for models BL150S, BL1500S, GM1502)
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)
§ Turn the 2 front feet as shown here in
the illustration until the air bubble is centered
in the level indicator
> In most cases this will require several
adjustment steps

§ To change configurations: See the chapter entitled
“Configuring the Balance/Scale”
§ To load factory-set configurations:
See “Configuring the Balance/Scale,” parameter 9 – 1
$ To tare the balance/scale: Press t
Additional Functions
§ To turn off the balance/scale: Press e
Example
Basic weighing
Menu code settings: Factory-set codes
Step Key (or instruction) Display
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).
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
1. Turn on the balance/scale e
2. Tare the balance/scale t 0.0 g
3. Begin calibration t +1000.0
>2 sec.
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 readout
and the actual weight on the pan to determine the accuracy. Adjustment means
to bring a balance into the state of accuracy required for its use. Therefore, “calibration,”
as used in this manual, actually means “adjustment.”

Application Programs
Counting
Purpose
With the Counting program you can determine
the number of parts that each have approximately
equal weight.

in the operating menu:
See “Configuring the Balance/Scale”
– The average piece weight is automatically
output via the optional data interface port after
initialization, if the menu code for “Printout
with data ID codes” is set
– Press v to toggle the display between piece
count and weight
