Getting Started
Getting Started
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.

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.

Getting Started
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.
To fasten an antitheft locking device, use the lug located on the rear panel
of the scale.
● Secure the scale at the place of installation, e.g., with a chain
or a lock.
Leveling the Scale
Purpose:
– To compensate for unevenness at the place of installation
– To achieve perfectly horizontal positioning of the scale for consistent
reproducibility
Always level the scale again any time it is moved.
Models FC06BBE-S, FC6CCE-H, FC2CCE-S, FC12CCE-S, and FC6CCE-S:
Only the 2 front feet are used for leveling.
● Turn the 2 front feet as shown in the illustration until the air bubble
is centered within the circle of the level indicator
> Several leveling steps are usually required.
● When weighing heavy samples (or when the YDH 01 LP display arm
is attached):
Retract the 2 rear feet until they touch the surface on which the
scale rests
Models FC34EDE-P, FC16EDE-S, FC12EDE-P, and FC64EDE-S:
● Adjust the three leveling feet until the air bubble is centered within the
circle of the level indicator
