Care and Maintenance
Service
Regular maintenance of your equip-
ment by your customer service partner
ensures continued weighing accuracy.
The frequency of the maintenance
intervals depends on the operating
conditions and user’s tolerance
requirements.
Repairs
! Disconnect the power supply to the
defective equipment immediately
(unplug the power cord from the mains
supply). Repairs should only be carried
out by qualified personnel authorized
by Sartorius, using original spare parts.
Any attempt by unqualified personnel
to carry out repair work may cause dan-
ger for the user. Note: During the guar-
antee period, return the entire indicator.
! Replace defective or damaged cables or
cable glands as a unit.
! Do not open the equipment while
power is on. After disconnecting the
power supply, wait at least 10 seconds
before opening. As the mating surfaces
of the housing components affect the
IP protection, open and close the
equipment correctly.
Cleaning
The devices conform to the guidelines
of the EHEDG (European Hygienic
Equipment Design Group) on suitable
measures to avoid contamination.
They can therefore be easily cleaned
and disinfected.
! Disconnect the power supply to the
defective equipment immediately
(unplug the power cord from the mains
supply). If necessary, disconnect the
data cable.
! No liquid may enter the device.
! Do not use aggressive cleaning agents
(solvents or similar).
! Spraying with water or blowing off with
compressed air is not permissible.
§ Clean the indicator with a cloth lightly
moistened with soap solution.
$ For use in the food industry, use the
usual cleaning agents.
§ Wipe down the indicator with a soft,
dry cloth after cleaning.
Cleaning the stainless steel surfaces
All stainless steel parts should be
cleaned at regular intervals.
Only use conventional household
cleaning agents which are suitable for
stainless steel. Stainless steel should
be cleaned simply by rubbing.
After this, rinse thoroughly until all
residue is removed. After this, let the
device dry. For additional protection,
protective oil may be applied.
Only use solvents for cleaning stainless
steel parts.
Clean the protective cover
$ Replace damaged protective cover.
§ Press the protective cover over the edge
of the front and rear side of the device
until it is fixed in place.
Safety inspection
Safe operation of the device can no
longer be guaranteed if:
– The device or the mains connecting
lead shows visible damage.
– The integrated mains unit no longer
functions.
– The device has been stored for long
periods under unfavorable conditions
(e.g. extreme dampness).
If safe operation of the equipment can
no longer be guaranteed:
§ Disconnect the power supply to the

mains supply) and make sure the device
cannot be used for the time being.
§ Inform Sartorius customer service
department.
Maintenance measures may only be
carried out by specialist personnel:
– Who have access to the required main-
tenance documents and manuals
– Who have attended appropriate training
courses
! The warranty seals on the device indi-
cate that the device may only be
opened and maintained by authorized
specialist personnel, so that the correct
and safe operation of the device is
ensured and the warranty remains valid.
I nformation and Instructions on
Disposal and Repairs
Packaging that is no longer required must
be disposed of at the local waste disposal
facility. The packaging is made of environ-
mentally friendly materials that can be
used as secondary raw materials.
The equipment, including
accessories and batteries,
does not belong in your
regular household waste.
The European legislation
requires that electrical and
electronic equipment be
collected and disposed
of separately from other communal waste
with the aim of recycling it.
In Germany and many other countries,
Sartorius AG takes care of the return and
legally compliant disposal of its electrical
and electronic equipment on its own.
These products may not be placed with the
household waste or brought to collection
centers run by local public disposal
operations – not even by small commercial
operators.
For disposal in Germany and in the
other member nations of the European
Economic Area (EEA), please contact
our Service technicians on location or our
Service Center in Goettingen, Germany:
Sartorius AG
Service Center
Weender Landstrasse 94–108
37075 Goettingen, Germany
In countries that are not members
of the European Economic Area (EEA) or
where no Sartorius subsidiaries or dealer-
ships are located, please contact your
local authorities or a commercial disposal
operator.
Prior to disposal and/or scrapping
of the equipment, any batteries should
be removed and disposed of in local
collection boxes.
Sartorius AG will not take back equipment
contaminated with hazardous materials
(ABC contamination) – either for repair or
disposal. Please refer to the accompanying
leaflet/manual or visit our Internet website
(www.sartorius.com) for comprehensive
information that includes our service
addresses to contact if you plan to send
your equipment in for repairs or proper
disposal.
