Installation Instructions

Ambient Conditions

Unfavourable ambient conditions can influence weighing results.

Therefore, please select a suitable place to set up
your scale. lt should not be exposed to the
following:

- heat radiation

- drafts

- vibrations

- aggressive chemical atmospheres (the scale must not be used in a
hazardous location/area)

Do not expose the scale to extreme moisture over long periods.
Moisture in the air can condense on the surfaces of a cold scale
whenever it is brought to a substantially warmer area. lf you need to
transfer the scale to a warmer area, make sure to condition it for
about 2 hours at room temperature, leaving it unplugged. Afterwards,
ifyou keep the scale connected to AC power, the continuous positive
difference in temperature between the inside of the scale and the
outside will practically ruie out the effects of moisture condensation.
The components used in the scale are rated to at least Class KSF
according to DIN 40040.

Your Sartorius scale provides accurate readouts even when it is
exposed to unfavorable ambient conditions.
You can adapt the scale to your requirements simply by changing the
code settings in the scale operating menu. For more information,
please read pages 21 through 23.

Startup

Connecting the Scale to Line Power

The scale is powered by an AC adapter. Make sure that voltage rating
printed on this unit is identical to your local line voltage rating.

lf the line voltage indicated or the plug design of the AC adapter does
not match the rating or Standard you use, please contact your Sarto­rius dealer.

Important Note

Only use original Sartorius AC adapters identified by the Sartorius la­bel. Use of AC adapters supplied by other manufacturers, even if
these adapters have a registered approval rating from a national test­ing laboratory, requires the consent of a certified Sartorius technician.

Plug the cord of the AC adapter into the power
receptacle of the scale. Now plug the AC adapter
into a wall outlet.

Voltage Selection

You can select the voltage only if you use our portable power supply
(69 71172) that has a European-type plug (rounded prongs).

17

Safety Precautions

The power supply or AC adapter rated to Class 2 (double insulated)
can be plugged into a wall outlet without taking any additional safety
precautions.
The negative pole (ground) of the Output voltage (protective extra-low
voltage) is connected to the scale housing, which can be grounded for
Operation.

The optional interface (see "Interfacing Devices" on page 26 in addi­tion) is also electrically connected to the scale housing (ground).

Connecting Electronic Devices (Peripherals)

Unplug the AC adapter before you connect or disconnect devices to
or from the interface ports.

Leveling the Scale using the Level Indicator
(only for model IB 16000 S)

At the point of use, level the scale using the leveling feet

(4)

so that

the air bubble is centered within the circle of the level indicator

(2)

.

18

Operation

After you have plugged the scale into a wall outlet using the AC
adapter, allow for at least 30 minutes' warmup.

The weight display shows the following special Status messages for
your Information:

BUSY

The scale processor is still busy processing a function and will not ac­cept any other commands to perform functions at this time.

STANDBY

The display has been turned off with the ON/OFF key

(8)

and the
scale is now in the ready-to-operate mode so that it does not require
warmup.

POWER OFF

The scale was disconnected from line power (power failure or outage,
reconnection to line power after scale was unplugged).

CAL

The calibration function has been activated.

Turning the Display On and Off

Press the ON/OFF key

(8)

to turn the display on or off.

You can also turn it on by pressing the tare control

(6)

.

When the scale is connected to the AC adapter and the power is on,
the display will go out whenever you turn off the power using the
ON/OFF key. All other electronic circuits will remain energized (indi­cated by STANDBY). This means the scale is immediately ready to
operate without requiring warmup the next time you turn it on.

19

Self-Test

After the scale is turned on, an automatic self-test of the scale's elec­tronic circuitry is performed.

This self-test ends with the readout 0.0 g/0.000 kg (if the factory code
setting 5 1 1/ 5 1 2 is used).

Weighing

Now place your sample or object on the platform

(1)

to determine the

weight. Read off the weight indicated in the display

(9)

as soon as the

weight unit (in this case "g") appears as the stability symbol.

In addition to grams/kilograms, this scale gives you a variety of
other menu-definable international weight unit options.

Select the weight unit you need from the table of the menu options for
the scale operating program. Set the appropriate code as described in
the section "Scale Operating Program."

Taring

lf you wish to weigh into a Container or if the weight display does not
indicate 0.0 g/0.000 kg (or the equivalent with the weight unit of your
choice), press the tare control to zero the display.

Auto Zero

This scale has an automatic zero tracking function, known as "Auto
Zero" (can be turned off by menu code - see "Scale Operating Pro­gram").
Changes off zero ≤ 0.5 of a digit per second are set to zero automati­cally.

20

Automatic Shutoff

Make sure the "Automatic Shutoff" code is set to "ON" when using a
non-rechargeable or rechargeable battery. This will increase the
amount of time you can operate the scale before having to recharge
the battery (see "Scale Operating Program"), lf you do not press a key
or if a weight readout in the display does not change for at least 2
minutes, "STANDBY" will start flashing in the display. The scale will
shut itself off if it has not been operated after another 2 minutes.

Calibration

— This is only possible with an accurate calibration weight (10 kg)
— See "Accessories" -

Unload the scale and press the CAL key

(7)

for at least 3 seconds un-

til the calibration weight readout appears in the display.

Center the calibration weight on the platform.
Now the weight unit symbol is displayed. An acoustic signal indicates
the end of the calibration procedure.

You can block access to the calibration function -to find this menu
code, refer to the "Scale Operating Program." This function is acces­sible when the scale operating program is unlocked using the menu
access switch

(5)

.

21

Scale Operating Program

The scale operating program lets you adapt your scale to various am­bient conditions and to different weighing requirements, and select
weight units commonly used in your country.
At the factory, we have set the codes for a Standard program which is
protected by a locking function to prevent accidental changes.

The "

menu code

" contains the information of the operating program,
lt consists of three digits, known in "computerese" as the page
(1st digit), the line (2nd digit) and the word (3rd digit).

Reading a Program Menu Code (List Mode)

How to access the menu of the scale operating program:

With the display turned off (

STANDBY

state), hold down the tare con-

trol

(6)

and briefly press the ON/OFF key

(8)

. Upon completion of the

automatic self-test, release the tare control as soon as "

CH5

" is dis­played. The Status of the scale operating program is indicated in the
weight display:

"L" Stands for the list mode. In this mode, you can read a menu code
setting, but you cannot change it.

Changing a Program Menu Code (Change Mode)

lf you wish to change a program menu code, you must first unlock the
menu access switch to access the program menu.

To do so, remove the protective cover located on the right of the dis­play unit, and slide the menu access switch

(5)

in the direction of the

arrow.

The display will indicate "C", which Stands for the change mode,
meaning you can now change the menu code settings.

22

After you have accessed the menu of the scale operating program,
the display will show a continuous numerical sequence from 0 to 5 for
the "page" or the first digit of the code, in addition to the Status code
letter "L" or "C".
When the first digit of the code you wish to check or change appears,
press the tare control

(6)

. The "page" code number now stops in the
display, and a series of numbers for the 2nd digit or ''line" will begin to
cycle. Press the tare control again to stop the code number of your
choice in the display. Next, the numbers for the "word" (last digit) will
cycle in the display. Repeat the procedure to enter the last digit of the
code.

The "o" symbol that appears indicates the actual setting.

To change any settings ("C" mode), press the tare control as soon as
the appropriate numeric code is displayed.

Brief display of BUSY and the "o" symbol confirms your selection, fol­lowed by a return to "zero" for the 2nd digit or "line."

How to return to the weighing mode:
Press the tare control each time a 0 appears in the numerical se­quence (word, line, page). lf you have changed a menu code, it will be
stored as soon as the display returns to the weighing mode.
Lock the scale operating program using the menu access switch
("L" readout) and replace the protective cover.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning

Please do not use any aggressive cleaning agents (solvents or similar
agents). Instead, use a piece of cloth that has been wet with a mild
detergent to clean the scale. Make sure that no liquid enters the scale
housing. After cleaning, wipe down the scale with a soft, dry piece of
cloth.

Safety Inspection

lf there is any indication that safe Operation of the scale with the AC
adapter/power supply is no longer warranted, turn off the scale and
disconnect the equipment from AC power immediately. Lock the
equipment in a secure place to ensure that it cannot be used for the
time being.

In this case, notify the Sartorius Service Center or International Tech­nical Support Group based in Goettingen, Germany. Only service
technicians who are authorized by Sartorius and have access to the
required manuals are allowed to perform maintenance and repair
work on the equipment.

Safe Operation of the scale with the AC adapter/power supply is no
longer ensured when

— there is visible damage to the AC adapter/power supply
— the AC adapter/power supply no longer functions properly
— the AC adapter/power supply has been stored for relatively

long periods under unfavourable conditions

— the AC adapter/power supply has been exposed to rough

handling during shipment

We recommend that the scale along with the AC adapter/power sup­ply be inspected by a qualified Sartorius service technician according
to the checklist given below.

— Leakage current <0.05 mA measured by a properly calibrated

multimeter

— Insulation resistance >7 megohms measured with a constant

voltage of at least 500 V at a500kohmload.

The duration and number of measurements should be
determined by a qualified Sartorius service technician
according to the particular ambient conditions
and operational conditions of the AC adapter. Such
inspection should be done at least once a year.
