Installation
– Proceed with extreme caution when
using pre-wired RS-232 connecting
cables purchased from other manufac-
turers. The pin assignments may not be
compatible with Sartorius equipment.
Check the pin assignment against the
cabling diagrams and disconnect any
lines that are not assigned. The opera-
tor shall be solely responsible for any
damage or injuries that occur when
using cables not supplied by Sartorius.
– If you use Option L8 (24-volt industrial
power supply module) for connection to
a low-voltage source, be sure to comply
with the requirements for Safety Extra
Low Voltage (SELV) and Protective
Extra Low Voltage (PELV).
– Use only standard cables that have
protective grounding conductors.
The protective conductor must not be
disconnected for any reason.
– There must be 3 cm space behind the
device so that the power cord does not
buckle.
– Check regularly that the power cord has
not been damaged.
– Use only Sartorius accessories and
options as these are perfectly tailored
for use with this device. The operator
shall be solely responsible for installa-
tion and testing of any modifications
to Sartorius equipment, including
connection of cables or equipment not
supplied by Sartorius. Information on
operational quality (in line with norms
pertaining to immunity) is available
on request.
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits
pursuant to part 15 of FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful
interference. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with these instructions,
may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. For information
on the specific limits and class of this
equipment, please refer to the Declara-
tion of Conformity. Depending on the
particular class, you are either required
or requested to correct the interference.
If you have a Class A digital device,
you need to comply with the FCC state-
ment as follows:
“Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harm-
ful interference in which case the user
will be required to correct the interfer-
ence at his own expense.” If you have
a Class B digital device, please read
and follow the FCC information given
below:
“[…] However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equip-
ment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
– Increase the separation between
the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an
outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is
connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.”
Before you operate this equipment,
check which FCC class (Class A or Class
B) it has according to the Declaration of
Conformity included. Be sure to observe
the information of this Declaration.
IP protection:
– MIS models are rated to IP65
– The indicator’s IP65 protection rating
is ensured only if the rubber gasket is
installed and all connections are
fastened securely (including the caps
on unused sockets). Weighing platforms
must be installed and tested by a certi-
fied technician.
– If you install an interface port or
battery connection after setting up
your indicator, keep the protective cap
in a safe place for future use. The cap
protects the interface connector from
vapors, moisture and dust or dirt.
Use in legal metrology:
– When the indicator is connected to
a weighing platform and this equip-
ment is to be verified, ensure that the
applicable regulations regarding verifi-
cation are observed. When connecting
non-Sartorius platforms, see the Appen-
dix “Guide to verification of weighing
instruments”. When connecting
a Sartorius weighing platform, observe
the permitted weighing ranges as listed
in the Declaration of Conformity.
– If any of the verification seals are
damaged, ensure the regulations and
standards applicable in your country are
observed in such cases. In some coun-
tries, the equipment must be re-verified.
