Safety
To prevent damage to the equipment,
please read these operating instructions
carefully before using your balance/scale.
!Do not use this balance/scale in a hazardous
area/location.
!Use only commercially available
non-rechargeable or rechargeable batteries:
8+ AA, Mignon
!Make absolutely sure to unplug the
balance/scale from AC power before you connect or disconnect a peripheral device.
!Exposure to excessive electromagnetic
disturbance can cause the readout value to
change. Once the disturbance has ceased, the
instrument can be used again in accordance
with its intended use.
Setting up the Balance/Scale
!Warning when using pre-wired RS-232
connecting cables: The pin assignments
in RS-232 cables purchased from other
manufacturers may be incompatible with
Sartorius balances/scales. Be sure to check
the pin assignment against the chart
on page 20 before connecting the cable,
and disconnect any lines that do not match.
– Connect only Sartorius accessories and
options, as these are optimally designed for
use with your Sartorius balance/scale.
Do not try to solve any problems on your own.
The operator shall be responsible for any modifications to Sartorius equipment and for any
connections of cables or equipment not supplied by Sartorius and must check and, if necessary, correct these modifications and connections. On request, Sartorius will provide
information on the minimum operating specifications (in accordance with the standards
for defined immunity to interference).
– 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.
$ The temperature range (°C) indicated
on the verification label may not be
exceeded during operation.
Example:
DT BH 210
+10°C/+30°C

Using Verified Balances/Scales as Legal
Measuring Instruments in the EU*:
The type-approval certificate for verification applies only to non-automatic
weighing instruments. For automatic
operation with or without auxiliary
measuring devices, you must comply
with the regulations applicable to the
place of installation.
* Including the Signatories of the Agree-
ment on the European Economic Area

Initial Verification
TE1200-0CE Models:
These models are supplied for use
in legal metrology (legal-for-trade) in
Germany and already verified ex factory.
For use in legal metrology outside
Germany, the balances/scales must be
initially verified for the respective
country at the place of installation.
In such a case, please contact your
Sartorius representative about the
verification procedure.
TE214S-0CE, TE214S-PCE,
TE124S-0CE, TE64-0CE and
GD603-0CE Models:
These models are verified ex factory for
use in the legal metrology within the
European Economic Area upon delivery.
You can use the balance/scale immedi-
ately after:
– Warming up phase (see page 7)
– Adjustment (see page 8)
Always calibrate/adjust the balance/
scale with the weight supplied at
regular intervals and after setting it
up in a new location.
TE512-0CE, TE512-PCE and
GE512-0CE Models
These models are verified ex factory for
use in legal metrology within the Euro-
pean Economic Area upon delivery.
§ Before using the balance/scale as a legal
measuring instrument, calibrate and
adjust it at the place of use using the
built-in motorized calibration weight;
for details, see “Calibration/Adjustment.”

Getting Started
Storage and Shipping Conditions
– Do not expose the balance/scale to
extreme temperatures, blows, shocks,
vibration or moisture.
Unpacking the Balance/Scale
After unpacking the balance/scale,
check it immediately for any visible
damage.
$ 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 in case you
need to return it. Before packing your
balance/scale, unplug all connected
cables to prevent damage.
Equipment Supplied
– Balance/scale
– Weighing pan
– Pan support (only on models with
a round weighing pan)
– Gem tray (only with GE and GD models)
– AC adapter, plug type
Additionally supplied with TE214S,
TE124S, TE64, GD603 models:
– Shield ring
– Shield plate
– Dust cover
– Calibration weight
Installation Instructions
When choosing a location to set up
your balance/scale, observe the
following:
– 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
– 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.
Seal on Balances/Scales of Accuracy
Class Kand l:
Legislation requires that a control seal
be affixed to verified balances/scales
of accuracy class Kor l. The control
seal consists of a sticker with the
“Sartorius” logo. If this seal is damaged
or broken, the verification becomes null
and void and the balance/scale must be
re-verified.

Setting up the Balance/Scale
Balances/Scales with an Analytical Draft Shield
Place the components listed below inside
the chamber in the order given:
– Shield plate
– Shield ring
– Pan support
– Weighing pan
– Gem tray (only with GD models)
Balances/Scales with a Round Weighing Pan
Place the components listed below inside
the chamber in the order given:
– Pan support
– Weighing pan
– Gem tray (only with GE models)
Balances/Scales with a Rectangular Weighing Pan
Place the weighing pan on the balance/scale
Gem tray (only with GE models)
Connecting the Balance/Scale to AC Power/
Safety Precautions
Use only original Sartorius AC adapters:
– for Europe: 6971948
Insert the right-angle plug into the jack
Plug AC adapter into electrical outlet
The ground terminal is connected to the balance/scale
housing,
which can be additionally grounded for
operation.
6
Selecting the Line Voltage (Mains Voltage)
(Optional)
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
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
> 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

Warmup Time
$ To ensure accurate results, the balance/scale must warm up
for at least 24 hours before operation the first time it is connected to power. Only after this time will the balance/scale
have reached the required operating temperature.
$ Models TE214S-0CE, TE214S-PCE, TE124S-0CE, TE64-0CE,
GD603-0CE: Any time the balance/scale has been disconnected from power following the initial installation and
warm-up time, it must warm up for at least 30 minutes and
then calibrated/adjusted using the weight supplied before
further operation.

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. Otherwise, the weight
required for external calibration/adjustment is displayed.
Calibration/adjustment of verified balances/scales of accuracy class Kor l:
