Storage and
Shipping Conditions
Allowable storage temperature:
+0 °C ...+40 °C
+32°F ...+104°F
The packaging has been designed
to ensure that the balance will not be
damaged even if it is dropped from
a height of 80 centimeters (about
31 inches).
Unpacking the Balance
● After unpacking the balance,
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
nd all parts of the packaging
until you have successfully installed
your
balance. Only the original
packaging
provides the best
protection for shipment. Before
packing your balance, 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 Balances Approved for
Use as Legal Measuring Instruments in the EU*:
Provided that an official seal is
required for the verified balance,
a control seal is affixed to the
balance. 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 balance
re-verified.
Warranty

Installation Instructions
The Sartorius Master
pro
balances
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 balance,
observe the following so that you
will be able to work with added
speed and accuracy:
– Set up the balance on a stable,
even surface
– Avoid placing the balance in
close proximity to a heater or
otherwise exposing the balance
to heat or direct sunlight
– Protect the balance from drafts
hat come from open windows
or doors
– Avoid exposing the balance
to extreme vibrations during
weighing
– Protect the balance from
aggressive chemical vapors
– Do not expose the balance
to extreme moisture over long
periods
Conditioning the Balance
Moisture in the air can condense
on the surfaces of a cold balance
whenever it is brought into a
substantially warmer place. If you
transfer the balance 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
balance connected to AC power,
the continuous positive difference
in temperature between the inside
of the balance and the outside
will practically rule out the effects
of moisture condensation.
Monitoring Ambient Conditions
When Using Verified Balances
Approved for Use as Legal
Measuring Instruments in the EU*:
$ For balances of accuracy class
k, a thermometer and baro-
meter are recommended for
monitoring ambient conditions.
