Safety Instructions
Combics weighing platforms have been constructed in accordance with the European
Directives as well as international regulations and standards for electrical equipment,
electromagnetic compatibility and safety.
- Do not expose the weighing platform unnecessarily to aggressive chemical vapors or to
extreme temperatures, moisture, shocks, or vibration.
- Do not use a Combics weighing platform in a Zone 0, 1, 20 or 22 hazardous area or a
Class 1, Division 1 or 2 hazardous location.
- You may operate any Combics weighing platform in a Zone 2 or 11 hazardous area.
- Avoid exposing the weighing platform to static electricity; be sure to connect the
equipotential bonding conductor to the junction box.
- Observe the particular IP protection rating of your scale: IP65 protection rating for
non-stainless steel models; IP67 protection rating for stainless steel models. First digit:
rating 6 indicates resistance to penetration by dust particles of a specified size. Second
digit: rating 5 indicates resistance to splashes of water as well as washdown-resistance.
Rating 7 indicates resistance to penetration by water during 30-minute immersion up
to a depth of 1 meter (~ 3¼ feet). The particular IP protection rating for the weighing
platforms is ensured only if the rubber gasket is installed on the junction box and all
cable gland screw fasteners are tightened securely.
Improper installation will result in forfeiture of all claims under the manufacturer´s
warranty.
- The junction box may be opened only by authorized service technicians who have been
trained by Sartorius and who follow Sartorius’ standard operating procedures for
maintenance and repair.
- If you see any indication that the weighing platform cannot be operated safely (for
example, because of equipment damage), turn off the platform and lock it in a secure
place so that it cannot be used for the time being.
- Suspension points are provided on platforms of a size of 36 x 36 inches or larger. If
you need to transport or lift the scale or load plate using a crane, do not step
underneath the suspended scale or load plate. Be sure to observe the corresponding
safety rules and regulations for prevention of accidents. Do not damage the junction
box or the load receptor during transportation.
- If you use suction lifting equipment to lift the load plate, always wear globes, hardtoed safety boots and protective clothing. Warning! This procedure can cause personal
injury! Therefore, only reliable staff who are qualified to perform such work are
allowed to use suction lifting equipment.
- Always make sure the weighing platform is disconnected from AC power before
performing any installation, cleaning, maintenance or repair work.
- Check the pin assignment if you use cables purchased from a different manufacturer.
Before connecting such a cable to Sartorius equipment, check the pin assignment on
the corresponding wiring diagram or chart and disconnect any wires that are identified
differently from those specified by Sartorius. The operator shall be solely responsible
for any damage or injuries that may occur when using cables not supplied by Sartorius.

Setting Up the Scale
§ Choose a suitable place to set up the weighing platform. This place should have a
dry, horizontal and even surface.The operating temperature range is between -10°C
and +40°C (+14°F and +104°F). The allowable structural load-carrying capacity of a
floor or surface must be sufficient to support both the weight of the weighing
platform and its maximum weighing capacity.
If you need to use the weighing platform in areas exposed to heavy traffic (e.g.,
fork-lift trucks), you should install a protective frame, consisting of angular braces,
around the weighing platform.
Do not expose the weighing platform unnecessarily to aggressive chemical vapors or
to extreme temperatures, moisture, shocks, or vibration, which could result in
damage.
Note:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the
user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Changes or
modifications not expressly approved by Sartorius AG could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
§ The air bubble must be centered within the circle on the level indicator.
§ Level the weighing platform using the leveling feet as described below:
§ Check to ensure that all leveling feet rest securely on the work surface.
> Each of the leveling feet must support an equal load!
§ Loosen the locknuts on the leveling feet using a 19-mm open-end wrench (spanner).
> Adjusting the leveling feet:
To raise the weighing platform, extend the leveling feet (turn clockwise).
To lower the weighing platform, retract the leveling feet (turn counterclockwise).
§ After leveling the weighing platform, retighten the locknuts securely as described
below:
Low-capacity platforms (1 load cell): tighten the locknuts against the platform
frame;
high-capacity platforms (4 load cells): tighten the locknuts against the platform
feet.

Installation
§ Strip off the insulation at the cable end and attach the cable as follows:
– Route the cable through the cable gland.
– Properly tighten the screw fasteners of the cable gland
– Remove the casing from a section of the cable end (see illustration). The shield (1)
must have contact with the clamps (2).
– Expose approximately 15 cm (6 inches) of the wires (3) for installation.
§ Attach the cable to the weighing platform as follows:
– Expose approximately 5 cm (2 inches) of the wires for installation.
– Expose approximately 1 cm (1/2 inch) of the wires and attach ferrules to the wires.
– Securely attach the wires to the screw terminals (blue = plus, brown or black = minus).

Care and Maintenance
Cleaning
$ Unplug the scale from the AC power before cleaning.
$ To clean the weighing platform in a dry area: use a piece of cloth
wet with a commercially available cleaning agent to wipe it down.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the cleaning agent.
!Never use concentrated acids, bases, solvents or pure alcohol to
clean the weighing platform.
$ To clean the weighing platform in a wet area, wash it down using
a gentle stream of water (60°C, 140° F max.) sprayed over the top
of the load plate.
! Do not use high-pressure cleaning equipment to clean the
weighing platform.
> If the water that you use to clean the weighing platform is too
hot or too cold, the difference in temperature between the water
and the weighing platform can cause condensation within the
weighing platform. This condensation may cause the weighing
platform to malfunction.
$ If the scale is installed in a pit, make sure that no debris builds up
between the crevices between the pit and the platform to prevent
weighing errors.
$ Regularly remove debris from the bottom of the pit.
Cleaning the Interior of the Platform
$ To clean the inside of the weighing platform, remove the load
plate.
Be especially careful when removing the load plate from scales of
36 x 36 inches or larger.
! Please follow the safety instructions.
$ Use compressed air to blow debris out of the interior of the scale
or flush out using a gentle stream of water (60°C, 140° F max.).
Be sure that no debris builds up in the gap between the load
receptor and the fastening plate in order to prevent compromising
the overload protection.
Corrosive Environment
$ Remove all traces of corrosive substances from the weighing
platform on a regular basis.
