Warning and Safety Information

The weighing platform meets the
requirements for Group II, Category 2
equipment in accordance with EC
Directive 94/9/EC and bears the desig-
nation h II 2 GD EEx ib IIC T4...T6
T135...155°C in accordance with KEMA
EC type-examination certificate
02ATEX1010X.
Furthermore, the weighing platform
meets the EC Directives for electromag-
netic compatibility (see the Declaration
of Conformity). Improper use or
handling, however, can result in dam-
age and/or injury.
– The weighing platform can be operated
indoors or outdoors. This weighing
platform may not be used in the med-
ical industry (as a medicinal product).
– The weighing platform may be used in
Zone 1, 2, 21 or 22 hazardous areas or
Class 1, Division 1 or 2 hazardous loca-
tions (gas and dust explosion hazards).
Please make sure the currently valid
regulations and guidelines for installing
equipment in the hazardous areas/loca-
tions listed above (e.g., EN60079-14
or, in Germany, ElexV) are strictly
observed. Whether the equipment can
be used in a given area containing
potentially explosive agents must be
checked on a case-by-case basis.
– The weighing platform may be used
and operated by qualified personnel
only. The permitted uses of the weigh-
ing platform are specified in the type-
examination certificate.
– Do not expose the weighing platform
to aggressive chemical vapors or to
extreme temperatures, moisture, shocks,
or vibration. The permissible operating
temperature range during operation is
–10°C to 40°C (14°F to 104°F).
– If you use suction lifting equipment to
lift the load plate, always wear gloves,
hard-toed safety boots and protective
clothing. Warning: Danger of personal
injury! Only reliable personnel who are
qualified to perform such work are
allowed to use suction lifting equip-
ment.
– Suspension points are designated on
models of 1000 + 1000 mm and larger.
If you need to transport or lift the
scale or load plate using a crane, do not
stand underneath the suspended scale
or load plate.
– Make sure to observe the applicable
safety rules and regulations for the pre-
vention of accidents.
– Do not damage the junction box or the
load cells during transport.
– Installation in a Zone 1, 2, 21 or 22
hazardous area or Class 1, Division 1 or
2 hazardous location must be per-
formed by a trained technician who is
familiar with the assembly and opera-
tion of the equipment, as well as with
the procedure for putting the system
into operation. Furthermore, the
trained technician must have the
required qualifications and must be
familiar with the relevant guidelines
and regulations. If you need assistance,
contact your Sartorius dealer or the
Sartorius Service Center. Any installa-
tion work that does not conform to the
instructions in this manual will result
in forfeiture of all claims under the
manufacturer's warranty. Be sure to
observe all restrictions listed in the
type-examination certificate. Operating
the weighing platform beyond the
limits imposed by these restrictions is
not permitted, and constitutes use
of the equipment for other than its
intended purpose.
– Have the equipment inspected at
appropriate intervals for correct
functioning and safety by a trained
technician.
– The junction box may be opened only
by authorized service technicians who
have been trained by Sartorius and
who follow Sartorius' standard operat-
ing procedures for maintenance and
repair work.
– Always make sure the weighing plat-
form is disconnected from AC power
before performing any installation,
cleaning, maintenance or repair work.
If the equipment housing is opened by
anyone other than persons authorized
by Sartorius, all claims under the manu-
facturer's warranty are forfeited. Use
only original Sartorius spare parts.
– Handle the equipment as specified in
EN 60529 (in Germany: VDE 0470
Part 1) in accordance with its protection
(IP) rating. The protection rating of
the weighing platform is IP67. Do not
damage the IP protection when clean-
ing the equipment. The IP protection
rating is ensured only if the rubber
gasket is installed on the junction box
and all cable gland screw fasteners are
connected securely. Any installation
work that does not conform to the
instructions in this manual will result
in forfeiture of all claims under the
manufacturer's warranty.
– If you use cables purchased from
another manufacturer, check the pin
assignments before connecting the
cable to Sartorius equipment. Check the
assignments in the cable against those
specified by Sartorius and disconnect
any wires that are assigned differently.
The operator shall be solely responsible
for any damage or injuries that occur
when using cables not supplied
by Sartorius.
– When using the weighing platform in
hazardous areas/locations, make sure
there is no current or voltage in the
equipment before connecting or dis-
connecting current-carrying cables to or
from the platform. Disconnect the
platform from AC power before con-
necting or disconnecting cables.
– Avoid exposing the weighing platform
to static electricity; be sure to connect
the equipotential bonding conductor to
the junction box.
– Disconnecting equipotential bonding
conductors is not permitted.
– If you see any indication that the
weighing platform cannot be operated
safely (for example, due to damage),
turn off the platform and lock it in a
secure place so that it cannot be used
for the time being. Observe the rele-
vant safety precautions and inform per-
sonnel as required.
– The casing on all connecting cables, as
well as the casing on wires inside the
equipment housing, is made of PVC.
Chemicals that corrode these materials
must be kept away from these cables.
– Make sure the weighing instrument is
not exposed to substances that release
chlorine ions at the place of use. If
such exposure cannot be ruled out, the
operator is responsible for establishing
and observing appropriate safety pre-
cautions, to be checked at regular inter-
vals for continued effectiveness.
– The load cells installed are manufac-
tured by Global Weighing Technologies;
type designations: 011299/... through
011311/...; EC type-examination
certificate no. PTB 02 ATEX 2061.
The designation code is:
h II 2 G EEx ia IIC T4/T6.
The specifications are listed in the EC
type-examination certificate. The load
cell may be used and operated by quali-
fied personnel only. The permissible
use of the equipment is defined by the
equipment specifications and the rele-
vant safety regulations. Operating the
load cell beyond the specifications list-
ed in the type-approval certificate is not
permitted, and constitutes use of the
equipment for other than its intended
purpose. All restrictions listed in the
type-examination certificate must be
strictly observed.
