Safety Instructions

This device complies with European Council Directives as well as international regulations and standards for electrical equipment, electromagnetic compatibility, and the stipulated safety requirements� Improper use or handling can, however, result in damage and/or injury� This device should only be operated by trained personnel� Operators must read these installation instructions, particularly the safety information, and must be familiar with the operation of the equipment� The operator is required to supplement these safety precautions as appropriate� The operating personnel must be provided with the appropriate training� The requirements pertaining to applicable installation regulations must be followed when using electrical equipment in systems and environmental conditions with increased safety requirements� Relevant laws, standards, regulations, guidelines and environmental protection laws valid in your country must be observed� Always keep the equipment and balance freely accessible� Any installation work or balance operation that does not conform to the instructions will result in forfeiture of all claims under the manufacturer's warranty�

Danger of Explosion!

Do not use this equipment in hazardous areas in which explosive materials are present�

1

Danger of Electrical Shock!

If the device is not used in accordance with the instructions, this can affect the product liability for the device�

3

Make sure that the voltage rating printed on the AC adapter is identical to your local line voltage� The wall outlet must

2 2

2

have a protective grounding conductor� The operating instructions included with the AC adapter must be followed�

Do not switch on the equipment if the AC adapter or power cord are damaged� If the balance, the AC adapter or

any of the cables are damaged, disconnect the equipment from the power supply and secure it so that it cannot be turned on�

Chemicals (e�g� gases or liquids) that can corrode and damage the inside or outside of the balance, AC adapter, power cable or

peripherals must be kept away from the equipment�

Do not operate the balance unless the housing and the display are undamaged and the housing is closed so that

inadvertent contact with parts inside the equipment is not possible� Make sure that no liquids penetrate the balance and do not allow conductive parts to touch the balance�

Note on Installation:

The operator shall be solely responsible for any modifications to the equipment and for connecting any cables or equipment not supplied by Sartorius� Information on operational quality is available upon request from Sartorius� You should only use peripherals and options supplied by Sartorius�

Protection Class of the Balance Housing

3

4 Cubis MSE Operating Instructions

– Models with a readability of ≥10 mg and 0�1 mg: These models fulfill the requirements of protection class IP54� The IP protection only applies to the balance housing and not to the AC adapter� – The IP protection is only guaranteed when the weighing pan is mounted� – The IP protection is restricted if the data interfaces are used�

Retain the cover cap for the data output� When the data output is not in use, reapply the cover cap to protect it against vapors, moisture, and dust or dirt�

Safety Instructions

Note on cable quality:

3

3 3 3

CE conformity is only guaranteed with well shielded cables� The shielding braid of the cable must be made of metal with at least 80% coverage and also covered with metal foil as much as possible� The shielding on both sides on the full metal or metalized connector casing, as well as on the casing inlet, must be high-frequency compliant and have a flat design�

You can only turn off power to the device by pulling the plug or disconnecting the power cord, or by unscrewing the four-

pin plug at the DC supply cable for the balance�

Only use a lightly-moistened cloth for cleaning� See “Care and Maintenance" for cleaning the device� Do not

compromise the IP protection of the balance�

Do not open the balance housing� If the seal is broken, this will result in forfeiture of all claims under the

manufacturer’s warranty� The device may only be opened by specialized personnel trained by Sartorius�

Disconnect the balance from the wall outlet prior to moving the device�

3

Avoid condensation damage to the device� When the balance is turned on,

3

Hazards at the Place of Installation and During Operation

3

condensation build-up is not possible� If the device is moved from a cool environment to a warm environment, you must allow the device to acclimatize for approx� 2 hours before connecting to the power supply�

Avoid generating static electricity and establish potential equalization� A 10 kOhm ground is used when connecting

the balance to the power supply� Disconnecting the ground conductor is not permitted�

Models with a separate electronics module (e� g� MSE6�6/3�6/2�7 225S/P and 125P): Do not replace the electronics

module� Replacing with, e� g� models of the ME/SE series will damage the device�

Exercise caution to avoid glass breakage�

There is a danger of lacerations or cuts caused by sharp edges on glass or metal (contact springs), particularly when removing or replacing the glass draft shield panels; during cleaning; if a glass sample container breaks, or when modifying the balance hardware configuration�

Make sure all equipment operators have received proper instructions when working with hazardous or toxic materials�

Failure to follow correct handling procedures can result in breakage of parts or spillage of liquids or other substances� Make sure the necessary protective clothing or equipment is worn, such as protective gloves, clothing, eyewear� All safety regulations applicable in the laboratory must be observed�

Exercise caution to avoid squeezing or crushing fingers when

– Operating the electronic draft shield – Removing or installing the panels – Adjusting the display

Do not expose the device to aggressive chemical vapors or to unnecessarily extreme temperatures, moisture, shocks,

3 3

or vibration�

The device should be setup in areas away from equipment or devices that have strong magnetic properties�

Extreme electromagnetic fields from electrical lines should also be avoided�

Intended Use

Cubis models are high-resolution balances� They were specially developed for exact determination of material mass in liquid, paste, powder or solid form�

Appropriate containers must be used for each type of sample material� Specific models cover specific weighing ranges: see “Specifications�"

Cubis models are designed specially for use in research, education and day-to-day laboratory tasks in science and industry�

They are designed to be used exclusively indoors�

Cubis models can be operated as standalone, connected to a PC, or on a network�
