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 a commercially available

non-rechargeable or rechargeable battery:
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 19 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.

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.

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

(only on models GE3102, GE2102, GE1302,

TE3102, TE1502)

 Turn the 2 front feet as shown here in the illustration

the balance/scale calculates the weight as
the average value from a defined number of
individual weighing operations.
These weighing operations are also known as
“subweighing operations” or “subweighs.”

Data Interface

Purpose

Your balance/scale comes equipped with an
interface port for connection to a computer
or other peripheral device. You can use an
on-line computer to change, start and/or
monitor the functions of the balance/scale
and the application programs.

Preparation

You can set these parameters for other
devices in the Setup menu (see the chapter
entitled “Configuring the Balance/Scale”).
You will also find a detailed description
of the available data interface commands
in the file “Data Interface Descriptions for
AZ, GD, GE and TE Models”, which you can
download from the Sartorius website
(www.sartorius.com “Download Center”).

The many and versatile properties of these
balances/scales can be fully utilized for
printing out records of the results when you
connect your balance/scale to a Sartorius
data printer. The recording capability for
printouts makes it easy for you to work
in compliance with ISO/GLP.

Error codes are shown on the main display for 2 seconds. The program then returns
automatically to the previous mode (e.g., weighing).

Care and Maintenance

Service

Regular servicing by a Sartorius technician will extend
the service life of your balance/scale and ensure its
continued weighing accuracy. Sartorius can offer you
service contracts, with your choice of regular mainte­nance intervals ranging from 1 month to 2 years. The
optimum maintenance interval depends on the operat­ing conditions at the place of installation and on the
individual tolerance requirements.

Repairs

Repair work must be performed by trained service
technicians. Any attempt by untrained persons to per­form repairs may lead to hazards for the user.

Cleaning



Unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet (mains
supply). If you have an interface cable connected to
the balance/scale port, unplug it from the port,



Clean the balance/scale using a piece of cloth which
has been wet with a mild detergent (soap)



After cleaning, wipe down the balance/scale with
a soft, dry cloth.
Removing and Cleaning the Weighing Pan:



Lift up and remove the weighing pan together with
the pan support by gripping them from under the
shield ring. Make sure that you do not damage the
weighing system in doing so.

!

Make sure that no liquid enters the balance/scale
housing.

!

Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents (solvents or
similar agents).

Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces

Clean all stainless steel parts regularly. Remove the
stainless steel weighing pan and thoroughly clean it
separately. Use a damp cloth or sponge to clean any
stainless steel parts on the balance/scale. Only use
commercially available household cleaning agent that
is suitable for use on stainless steel. Clean stainless
steel surfaces by wiping them down. Then rinse thor­oughly, making sure to remove all residues. Afterwards,
allow the balance/scale to dry. If desired, you can apply
oil to the cleaned surfaces as additional protection.
Solvents are permitted for use only on stainless steel
parts.

23

Safety Inspection

If there is any indication that safe operation of the
balance/scale with the AC adapter is no longer
warranted:

 Turn off the power 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 your nearest Sartorius Service
Center or the International Technical Support Unit
based in Goettingen, Germany.
Maintenance and repair work may only be
performed by service technicians who are authorized
by Sartorius.

Instructions for Recycling

To ensure adequate protection for safe shipment,
your balance/scale has been packaged to the extent
necessary using environmentally friendly materials.
After successful installation of the balance/scale,
you should return this packaging for recycling
because it is a valuable source of secondary raw
material. For information on recycling options,
including recycling of old weighing equipment,
contact your municipal waste disposal center
or local recycling depot.
