Operating Design

Keys

Your Factory scale is operated either through the keys on the display and control unit or via a connected PC. Operation through the scale keys is described in the following.

Function Keys (Soft Keys)

The current function of a soft key is indicated in the bottom line of the display. (In the example shown below, oo: Exit the setup menu

App: Application menu Info: Scale data Menu: Scale operating menu Input: User data input)

The function keys are numbered F1 through F6, from right to left.

Labeled Keys

These keys always have the function indicated, but are not available at all times. Availability of these functions depends on the current operating status and menu settings.

Operating Design

The scales in the Factory Series consist of a weighing cell and a display and control unit. In addition to the choice of power supply (via AC adapter or external rechargeable battery pack), your scale also has an interface port for connecting a printer, computer or universal remote control switch.

The display and control unit and the weighing cell can be set up separately. Operation of Factory scales follows a uniform “philosophy” which is described in this manual.

Where not expressly indicated otherwise, the uses described in this manual apply to verified and verifiable scale versions (indicated by the suffix “-0CE” in the model number), as well as the standard version.

Combining Applications

You can combine the use of various application programs to meet your more complicated requirements.

Press the k/[TOGGLE] key to select the desired application programs.

Safety Precautions

Getting Started

Installation Instructions

The Sartorius Factory scales are designed to provide reliable weighing results under normal ambient conditions in the laboratory and in industry. When choosing a location to set up your scale, observe the following so that you will be able to work with added speed and accuracy:

– Set up the scale on a stable,

even surface

– Avoid placing the scale in close

proximity to a heater or otherwise exposing the scale to heat or direct sunlight

– Protect the scale from drafts that

come from open windows or doors

– Avoid exposing the scale to

extreme vibrations during weighing

– Protect the scale from aggressive

chemical vapors

– Do not expose the scale to

extreme moisture over long periods

– Level the scale at the place

of installation

Conditioning the Scale

Moisture in the air can condense on the surfaces of a cold scale whenever it is brought into a substantially warmer place. If you transfer the scale to a warmer area, make sure to condition it for about 2 hours at room temperature, leaving it unplugged from AC power. Afterwards, if you keep the scale connected to AC power, the continuous positive difference in temperature between the inside of the scale and the outside will practically rule out the effects of moisture condensation.

Monitoring Ambient Conditions When Using Verified Scales Approved for Use as Legal Measuring Instruments in the EU*:

$ For scales of accuracy class

k, a thermometer and baro-

meter are recommended for monitoring ambient conditions.

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

Allowable storage temperature: +5 °C ...+40 °C +41°F ...+104°F

The packaging has been designed to ensure that the scale will not be damaged even if it is dropped from a height of 80 centimeters (about 31 inches).

Unpacking the Scale

● After unpacking the scale, check

it immediately for any visible damage as a result of rough handling during shipment.

$ If this is the case, proceed

as directed in the chapter entitled “Care and Maintenance,” under the section on “Safety Inspection.”

It is a good idea to save the box and all parts of the packaging until you have successfully installed your scale. Only the original packaging provides the best protection for shipment. Before packing your scale, unplug all connected cables to prevent damage. The strip of cardboard between the display and control unit and the weighing platform is important for protecting the equipment during shipment!

Important Note Concerning Verified Scales Approved for Use as Legal Measuring Instruments in the EU*:

Provided that an official seal is required for the verified scale, a control seal is affixed to the scale. This seal will be irreparably damaged if you attempt remove it. If the seal is broken, the validity of the verification will become void and you must have your scale re-verified.

Connecting the Scale to AC Power

● Check the voltage rating and the plug design

– If they do not match the rating or standard you use, contact your Sartorius

office or dealer

Use only

– Original Sartorius AC adapters

– AC adapters with a registered approval rating from a national

testing laboratory

$ To use a main feeder cable from the ceiling or to mount a CEE plug,

you will have to make arrangements

$ See the chapter entitled “Accessories” for information on using an IP65-

protected industrial AC adapter or an external rechargeable battery pack

with your scale

● Insert the right-angle plug into the jack and then tighten the screws

● Then insert the plug of the AC adapter into a wall outlet (mains)

Safety Precautions

The AC adapter rated to Class 2 can be plugged into any wall outlet without requiring any additional safety precautions. The pole of the output voltage is connected to the scale housing, which can be grounded for operation. The data interface is also electrically connected to the scale housing (ground).

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.

Connecting Electronic Peripheral Devices

● Make absolutely sure to unplug the scale from AC power before

you connect or disconnect a peripheral device (printer or PC) to or from

the interface port.

Warmup Time

To deliver exact results, the scale must warm up for at least 30 minutes after initial connection to AC power or after a relatively long power outage. Only after this time will the scale have reached the required operating temperature.

Using Verified Scales Approved for Use as Legal Measuring Instruments in the EU*:

● The scale must warm up for at least 24 hours after initial connection

to AC power or after a relatively long power outage.
