Analog/Digital Converter (ADC)

Purpose
Adjust the parameters of the analog/digital converter to the connected load cell or weighing
platform. After ADC configuration, the ADC in connection with the load sensor is defined as
a scale.
Once the ADC configuration has been locked, the indicator can no longer be used to
3 influence weighing results. The scope of functions available in the weighing instrument is
defined by the A/D converter. Weighing functions that can be activated include reading
weight values, taring, adjustment, reading the tare value, saving/deleting the tare entry.
Setup information
– ADC configuration is only possible when the menu access switch is open. Re-close the menu
access switch after ADC configuration.
– Before ADC configuration, you must first set whether or not the weighing platform will be
used as a standard or verifiable weighing platform.
– ADC configuration is carried out in the Service mode in the Setup menu under “WP 1" for
the first weighing platform and “WP 2" for the second.
– Entries made in ADC configuration will not be affected by a menu reset (returning the setup
parameters to their factory settings).
See also the overview in the “Setup Menu for A/D Converter Configuration" section.
Setting Parameters for ADC Configuration

Standard or Verifiable Configurations
In ADC configuration, you must first select whether the weighing platform should be
configured as a standard or verifiable (for use in legal metrology) weighing platform.
– Standard configuration “Standard"
– Verifiable configuration “Verifiable"
Select using the “Q" or “q" soft key. Press the “O" soft key to confirm the setting and open
the Configuration menu.
Accuracy class
This menu item is not shown when the Standard configuration is active. When the Verifiable
configuration is active (for weighing platforms verified or verifiable for use in legal
metrology), only Class l/m can be selected. Activate the “Accuracy class"
menu item, select “Class III/IIII" and confirm your selection using the “l"
soft key.
Ranges
The capacity of the weighing platform can be divided into multiple ranges:
– “Single-range mode":
The entire weighing range is divided into scale intervals on the basis of the lowest interval d
and the maximum load.
– “Multi-interval mode":
The “Multi-interval mode” function divides the weighing capacity into as many as four
ranges, each with a different readability. Corresponding changes take place automatically.
Once the scale has been tared, the highest possible resolution is available even if the
weighing platform is loaded with a higher weight. This is only permitted in the accuracy
classes l/m for the verifiable configuration.
– “Multiple-range mode":
Multiple-range mode has two or three weighing ranges. When the range limit is exceeded,
the scale switches into the next highest weighing range (lower resolution) and remains there.
The scale can be returned to the lower weighing range (higher resolution) only by pressing
the ( key and then unloading the scale.
Select the desired configuration using the “Q" or “q" soft key. Confirm your selection using
the “O" key. Make additional settings in the submenu: scale interval d/verification scale
interval e, minimum load (Verifiable configuration only), range limits (Multi-interval or
Multiple range mode only) and maximum capacity. Confirm using the “l" soft key or cancel
using “Esc."
21
Scale interval d
Scale interval d indicates the resolution of the weighing instrument.
The scale interval d can be entered only in increments of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, etc.
When using verifiable or verified weighing platforms, the scale interval d is the same as
the verification scale interval e.
Verification scale interval e

The verification scale interval e indicates the resolution of the weighing instrument in
legal metrology. The verification scale interval e can be entered only in increments of 1, 2,
5, 10, 20, etc. For weighing instruments of accuracy class l or m, e = d. This is why
the scale interval d does not need to be entered separately.
When “Standard configuration” is used, this menu item is not displayed.
Minimum capacity (min. cap.)

When “Standard configuration” is used, this menu item is not displayed. The minimum
load of the connected weighing platform is entered under this menu item.
The minimum load for scales of accuracy class l is 20 e and 10 e for class m.
Important Note: The function of the minimum load setting is to warn operators that
below this limit, the summation of tolerances might lead to significant measurement
errors. In Germany, for example, initial weights below the minimum load are not allowed.
Maximum capacity (Max. cap.)

The maximum capacity is the maximum load that may be placed on the weighing
instrument. When heavier weights are used the weighing instrument displays overload
“H.” The scale intervals of the weighing instrument are calculated using the maximum
load and the scale interval d (e.g. max. capacity = 15.000 kg, smallest scale interval
d = 0.005 kg yields 3000 scale intervals).
In legal metrology the total number of intervals must be no more than 3000 e, and when
using multi-interval scales there must not be more than 3000 e intervals per range.
In standard operation, as opposed to legal metrology, you can define a “Super Range”
weighing instrument of over 3000 intervals. These parameters, however, may be
influenced by physical restrictions.
Range 1, Range 2, Range 3

The range limits are entered for the individual ranges. The accuracy changes when these
limits are exceeded. The following applies when entering limits: range 1 < range 2
< range 3 < maximum capacity.
This means that the weighing range can be divided into a maximum of 4 ranges. The
resolution changes at intervals of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 etc., where the lowest resolution is the
smallest scale interval entered. Set ranges that are not required for use to zero.
Available units
With this function, you can make particular weight units (weight unit x, x=1, 2)
inaccessible during weighing. Available units are indicated by a * on the display (more
than one can be selected).
To enable or disable a unit, select the unit by pressing the “Q" or “q" soft key, and then
press the “l" soft key (toggle function).
Saving parameters
To save the ADC configuration, use the “O" soft key to select “Yes" and confirm with
the “l" soft key. The device software is reset, and the scale returns to the normal
weighing mode. To exit the menu without saving configuration changes, press the “o"
soft key.
Once these parameters have been configured, the A/D converter in conjunction with the
load cell(s) is defined as a weighing instrument. The A/D converter, in conjunction with
the weighing platform, can now be used like any standard weighing platform. In addition,
the weight unit must be defined and the weighing platform adjusted (calibration,
adjustment and linearization must be performed). For a detailed description of these
procedures, see the “Adjustment in Service Mode" section.
22
Analog/Digital Converter (ADC) Configuration

The weighing platform must already be connected.
Open the menu access switch
The menu access switch is located on the back of the indicator right next to the weighing
platform connection.

t Open the ADC Configuration menu.

t Select the desired configuration data record using the “Q" or “q" soft key:
“Standard" or “Verifiable" (verifiable configuration). The default setting
depends on the data record.
t Open the menu for configuring A/D converter parameters. In this example, the menu for
ADC configuration of a weighing platform for use in legal metrology is opened.
If “Standard" was selected previously, then the “Accuracy class" is not
displayed.
t Open the first menu item.

For a standard configuration, the “Ranges" menu item, for a verifiable configuration,
the “Accuracy class" menu item.
When the “Verifiable” configuration is active, always select the “Accuracy
class" menu item first.
t Set accuracy class l/m. The “o" symbol should mark the setting, if required confirm
using the “l" soft key.
t Press the “o" soft key to exit the menu item.
Open the “Ranges" menu item.
In the example shown here, “Single range mode" has been selected (marked
by “o").
t To select a different weighing range configuration, use the “Q" or “q" soft key to select
the corresponding line and open the selected menu using the “O" soft key.
y The selected weighing range configuration is now active. When you return from the
input menu for entering the weighing range parameters, the new range configuration is
marked by a “o."
For more information about range configuration, please see “Setting Parameters for ADC
Configuration."
23
The default values displayed depend on the data record loaded and might have to be
changed. In the example shown here, the A/D configuration is set with a “Verifiable”
data record in single-range mode.
Single-range mode
t Select the individual input fields using the “Q" or “q" soft key.
t For numeric input: use the 0 ... 9 keys and the . key (decimal point). Make

maximum capacity of 6.000 kg is modified; the verification scale interval e is changed
from 0.001 kg to 0.002 kg, in accordance with the maximum permitted value of 3000
verification scale intervals. Press the “l" soft key to confirm the changed value.
The highlight bar is automatically positioned on the “Min. cap." field.
The following values apply for the minimum load for verifiable scales:
– For class l: Min. cap. = 20 e
– For class m: Min. cap. = 10 e
A verification scale interval that is changed, therefore, also affects the minimum load.
Changing the verification scale interval “e" is automatically applied to the “Min. cap."
You can also change this value manually:
In the example, the minimum capacity must be increased to 0.04 kg for class l.
t Press the following keys in sequence: 0 . 0 4 0 and confirm using the “l."

26
Entering Geographical Data for Use in Legal Metrology

Purpose
Entering geographical data allows the external adjustment of weighing equipment at a place
(e.g. at the manufacturer or vendor's place of business) that is not the same as the place of
installation. If the weighing equipment is adjusted at the place of installation, it is not
necessary to enter geographical data.
The sensitivity of weighing equipment changes depending on the place of installation as
it is dependent on the on-site gravitational force – or, more precisely, on gravitational
acceleration. Saving geographical data makes it possible to change the place of installation
of the weighing equipment after external adjustment has been carried out.
The adjustment of weighing equipment is valid at the place of installation and within a
specific tolerance zone. At 3000 e this zone extends ±100 km from the set geographical
latitude and ±200 m from the set elevation above sea level.
Installation Location in Germany
An exception to this is the setting for “Germany (Zone D):” If during external adjustment of
weighing equipment within Germany the geographical data
– Geographical latitude: 51.00 degrees
– 513 m elevation above sea level
are entered, the weighing equipment can be used throughout Germany. Gravitational
acceleration for “Germany (Zone D)” is 9.810 m/s2. On delivery the geographical data for
“Germany (Zone D)” are entered in the output device.
It is recommended to use the geographical data settings for “Germany (Zone D)” when
adjusting and delivering the weighing equipment within Germany.
Entering exact geographical data will lead to a higher level of accuracy but will also restrict
the tolerance zone.
Setup information
– It is only possible to enter geographical data when the menu access switch is open.
– When the Service mode is active, geographical data can be entered in the Setup menu under
“WP 1" for the first weighing platform and “WP 2" for the second. Settings are made in
the “Calibration/adjustment: Geographical data: Input
parameters" menu.
– You can enter either the “latitude" (geographical latitude in degrees) and
“altitude" (elevation in m above sea level) or the value for gravitational acceleration
“gravity"
Gravitational acceleration takes precedence over the geographical latitude and elevation of
the location: If it has been entered, input fields for latitude and elevation show the values
“99999.99" and “9999999" respectively. If only elevation and latitude have been
entered, “0000000" is displayed for gravitational acceleration.
Then make sure that the geographical data for the adjustment location has been entered
h correctly. If no external adjustment is carried out, enter the data for the installation location.
The data can be obtained from the relevant land registry or Ordnance Survey.

Adjustment Without Weights

Purpose
In the Service menu, adjustment without weights can be carried out by entering the
characteristic data of the load cells.
Adjustment without weights may not be carried out on weighing equipment used in legal
3 metrology.
Setup information
– Adjustment without weights is only possible when the menu access switch is open in the
Service mode.
– The “Nominal load" parameter must be entered in the “kg" unit.
– The “Resolution" parameter must be entered in the “kg" unit and must correspond to the
scale interval “d" entered for the ADC configuration.
– The “Sensitivity" parameter is entered in “mV/V" (see the data sheet for the value).
These values are converted to internal quantities.

h Once the ADC configuration data have been stored (by selecting the “Save
parameters" menu item), these parameters can no longer be read.
Procedure
t Remove the cap.

t Use the “Q" or “q" soft key to select and use “O" to open the “Adjust without
weights" menu.
t Use the “O" soft key to open the “Input parameters" menu.
38
y The Input menu is displayed.

Enter the nominal capacity and resolution of the load cells in kg and the sensitivity of the
load cells in mV/V in the corresponding input fields. The maximum capacity is usually less
than the value to be entered in the “Adjust without weights" menu for the
nominal capacity of the load cell, as load cells carry additional weight (e.g., a weighing
platform).
If the weighing platform has multiple load cells, multiply the nominal capacity accordingly.
Example:
The weighing platform has 4 load cells each at 50 kg.
The nominal capacity is 4 x 50 kg = 200 kg.
In the example shown here, the weighing platform consists of one load cell with a maximum
capacity of 10 kg.
y The “Resolution" input field is selected.
The smallest digit “d" is entered in this field in “kg". The value must correspond to the “D"
entry in “ADC configuration: Standard: Ranges: Single-
range mode."
In the example, this should be d = 0.002 kg.
y The “Sensitivity 1" input field is selected.
If the weighing platform has multiple load cells, enter the sensitivity either
– under “Sensitivity 1" … “Sensitivity 4" as an individual value or
– under “Sensitivity 1" as an average value.
If an average value is entered for all cells, or if fewer than 4 load cells are present, enter “0"
in the remaining fields. Range of permitted values: 0.01…5 mV/V.
t Press 1.944, e.g. to enter a sensitivity of 1.944 mV/V.
t Confirm using the “l" soft key.
y The “Sensitivity 2" input field is selected.
t Either enter a value or set all remaining input fields to “0."
t Confirm each using the “l" soft key.
t Press the “o" soft key to exit the menu.
t Use the “q" soft key to select the “Save parameters" submenu.
t To save the configuration, select “Yes" and confirm using the l soft key.
In the first line of the display, the message “Data stored" is shown briefly.
Then the program then returns to the “No" display status.
t Use the “o" to return to the next menu level.

Automatic Taring
The first weight on the scale that exceeds the preset minimum capacity is stored in the
tare memory at stability. The values for subsequent loads are stored as weight values.
The scale returns to the initial state when the load on the scale is less than 50% of the
minimum load. Operating menu setting: “Application parameters:
Autotare 1st weight:Yes"
69
Operation
Minimum load for automatic taring and automatic printing

To tare container weights automatically, you need to set a minimum load in the Setup
menu, under:
“Application parameters:Min. load f. auto.
taring/printout:o 10 digits"
You can set the following for the minimum load:
1 digit (no minimum load)
2 digits
5 digits
10 digits
20 digits
50 digits
100 digits
200 digits
500 digits
1000 digits
The “digits" here refer to the scale intervals for the connected weighing platform. If the
interval is 1 g and 1000 digits are required, the minimum load is 1000 g (1000 intervals).
If the weighing platform interval is 5 g and the same number of digits as above are
required, the minimum load is 5000 g.
Once the minimum load has been exceeded, the weighing platform is tared automatically
and/or an automatic printout is generated.
Automatic Printing
The first weight value that exceeds the minimum load is printed. If the menu item is also
activated for automatic taring, it is only tared when the minimum load is exceeded. In this
case, an automatic printout would only be generated when the second weight value
exceeds the minimum load. Setting in the Setup menu:
“Device parameters:Config. printout:Once at
stability:On"
Weighing using up to three weighing platforms
Press the n key to toggle between three weighing platforms.
Main scale: first platform displayed on start-up
You can select the weighing platform to be displayed first when the device is turned on
in the Setup menu:
“Device parameters:Operating parameters:Main
scale:oWP 1"
Press n to toggle the readout between platforms.
Using a barcode scanner to enter tare weight
The tare weight of the container can be entered via a barcode scanner.
Operating menu setting: “Device parameters:Bar
code:oTare-value"
The value is applied and saved automatically. The content of the tare memory can be
displayed in Info mode by pressing the D key.
Using a barcode scanner to enter application parameters
Application parameters (reference value) can be entered via a barcode scanner.
Operating menu setting: “Device parameters:Bar code:

The barcode can contain the following codes:
– “I" for write identifier
– “T" for save tare memory
– “R" for write reference weight
– “A" for activate product data memory
Examples:
“I4Anton" = write the character string to ID 4: Anton
“TC1" = write 1 Kg to the preset tare memory.
“C" = unit: Kilograms
“B" = grams
“D" = carat,
etc.
“RC0.0023" = write 0.0023 kg as the reference weight
“A1" = load product data memory 1

Calibration and Adjustment

Purpose
Perform calibration to determine the difference between the value displayed and the actual
weight on the platform. Calibration does not entail making any changes within the weighing
equipment.
During adjustment, the difference between the measured value displayed and the true
weight of a sample is corrected, or is reduced to an allowable level within maximum
permissible error limits.
Configuration for Use in Legal Metrology

Configuration of the weighing instrument for use in legal metrology is set by a switch.
The switch is located on the back of the weighing platform and covered by a protective cap.
Using a verified scale in legal metrology in the EU:
The Type-Approval Certificate for verified scales is only valid for non-automatic weighing
instruments. For automatic operation with or without additional, integrated equipment,
please follow the applicable national regulations for the installation location.
Externally connected IS scales
Before use in legal metrology, the scale should be calibrated via the internal calibration
equipment at the installation location: see chapter “Configuring Weighing Platforms, section
“Internal Calibration/Adjustment."
The temperature range (°C) listed on the ID label should not be exceeded during operation.
3
For Servicing
External calibration for verified scales of accuracy class l:
– External calibration is blocked in legal metrology (switch cover is sealed)
– External calibration is only possible by removing the seal.
If the seal is broken, the validity of verification will become void and you must have your
scale re-verified.
Using a verified scale in legal metrology with internal calibration equipment:
t Before use in legal metrology, the “internal calibration" function should be carried out at the
installation location:
PS2
Opening the menu access switch

The menu access switch is located on the back of the indicator right next to the weighing
platform connection.
t Remove the cap.
t Slide the switch to the left (= “open" position, for use in legal metrology).
You can determine the position of the switch in the Setup menu under “Info:WP."

SQmin Function
Purpose
To display the allowable minimum sample quantity “SQmin” (sample quantity minimum)
in accordance with the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP). According to USP guidelines,
the uncertainty of measurement may not exceed 0.1% of the sample quantity when
substances are weighed with the highest degree of accuracy for volume determination.
This additional function ensures that weighing results lie within defined tolerance limits
corresponding to the requirements of your quality assurance system.
System Requirements
The scale must be set up by a service technician to be able to use the SQmin function.
The technician will determine the permitted minimum sample quantity and set this on
your balance using your QA system's guidelines. He will document this setting via a
“Weighing module test as per USP" certificate in which the measurements and min.
sample quantity are logged. The SQmin function ensures that the weighing results
correspond to USP guidelines. These SQmin settings cannot be changed by the user.
Features
– Displaying the minimum sample quality: The value is displayed in the text line for
4 seconds after pressing the k key.

Setting the SBI Data Output

Data output settings can be made in the Setup menu under “Data
communications:SBI:Data output."
The following options are available:
– The displayed value, with or without stability check
– Automatic output of the displayed value, either with or without stability check,
or automatically at defined intervals
– Output of a printout as configured in the “Device parameters:
Config. printout:Printer 1" or “Printer 2" (see next page).
You can define the printout content by specifying which blocks of information are to be
included (see “Configuring Printouts”).
In general, the current display value is output (weight with unit, calculated value,
alphanumeric display) unless you configure a user-definable data record.
Generally, data is output only after the weighing instrument has stabilized (factory
setting). Here you can define whether data is output on request or automatically, at
stability or without stability check; and configure a user-defined printout. The data
output for “without stability" must be set accordingly (SBI: Data output).
If you select time-dependent automatic printout, you need to define the print interval
(in display updates) as well.
Each line of a printout can contain up to 20 characters. The first 6 characters, called the
“data header”, identify the subsequent value. Only 14 characters are available if you
disable the header. This is carried out in the “Line format" menu item (see also “Setup
Overview" in “Configuration").
Automatic Data Output (SBI)
You can have the weight readout printed automatically1). This printout can be generated
after a certain number of display updates2). You can also configure whether or not the
auto-print function is dependent on the stability of the scale3).
The display update frequency depends on both the scale model and the operating status.
Examples:
N + 153.00 g Net weight
Stat Display blank
Stat L Display underload
Stat H Display overload
"Data output" setting:

1) 3)Automatic, without stability or automatic with stability.
Factory setting: Manual after stability; i.e., automatic data output function off.
2) Time-dependent automatic data output:
Interval: 1, 2, 10 or 100 display updates

Factory setting: 1 display update
Data Input Format

You can connect a computer to your scale to send commands controlling weighing
instrument functions and applications via the interface port.
All commands use the same data input format. They begin with the ESC (ASCII: 27)
character and end with a carriage return CR (ASCII: 13) and LF (ASCII: 10). The total
length of a command is anywhere from 4 characters (1 command character between
the start and end described above) to a max. of 7 characters (4 command characters).
This number can also be higher when sending texts.
The commands listed in the following table must each be supplemented with
ESC ... CR LF.

Data Interfaces
There are several actions that generate the command for outputting data to the printer
port:
– Pressing the p key.
If the operating menu is active, all menu settings under the active menu level are printed.
– In some applications, pressing a given key (e. g., to save a value or start a routine) also
generates a print command, or it is generated automatically depending on the
application configuration. In this case, a configurable printout is generated with
application-specific data.
The P and l symbols are displayed when data is being output to the printer port.
Configuring a Printout
A printout can be configured in the Setup menu under “Device parameters:
Config. printout." This should be carried out after configuring the
application since some data in the printout is application-dependent.
You can configure a separate printout for each interface. Each printout is comprised of
different information blocks that can be activated or deactivated via multiple selection in
the menu.
For the “Totalizing" and “Net-total Formulation" applications, the totalizing/results
printout can be configured independent of the individual/component printout.
The individual information blocks are shown below with detailed explanations. Samples
of complete printouts are provided following the end of this section.
Headers
2 headers each with a max. of 20 characters are available (e. g. for printing the company
name).
Print image example:
ACE HARDWARE
GOETTINGEN
Date/Time
Print image example:
21.01.2010 16:02
To maintain a uniform time (e. g. for documentation within a complete automatic
system), the printing of the time can be suppressed in “Device parameters:
Config. printout:Date/time." When you set “Date only,"
the time can be added, e. g. from a superordinate control in order to always have the
same time throughout the system. This setting is mainly designed for communication
with a PC.
Identifiers
Use the “ID" soft key to enter text in the named IDs via the keypad.
99
Data Interfaces
Application Initialization Data

Which data is included in this block depends on the active application. In the “Counting"
application, for example, the reference sample quantity and reference weight are printed
(plus a blank line).
"Counting" print block example:
nRef 10 pcs
wRef + 0.035 kg
Scale Identification
Print image example for weighing platform serial number:
Ser.no. 1234567890
Scale Identification
This content is application-dependent. If provided in the application, the gross, net and
tare weights are usually printed, followed by a blank line. This block is terminated by a
dotted line. “Counting" application print image example:
G# + 1.402 kg
T + 0.200 kg
N + 1.202 kg
Qnt 34 pcs
--------------------
GMP-compliant printouts
When this function, the printout is supplemented with a GMP header and a GMP footer
(GMP: “Good Manufacturing Practice”).
If the GMP-compliant printout is activated, the A symbol remains displayed until the
GMP footer is printed.
Setting: Setup menu under “Device parameters:Config.
printout:ISO/GLP/GMP- printout."
You can choose from the following settings:
– GMP-compliant printout off (factory setting)
– GMP-compliant printout for multiple application results
The GMP header is included from the first printout generated subsequent to the
activation of the GMP printout.
The GMP footer is printed after several measurement results by pressing and holding
the p key, e.g. for component printing (menu item “For multiple application results").
In this case, the T symbol remains visible until the GMP footer is printed.
If you toggle to a different platform while a GMP printout of several measured results
is being generated, the GMP footer for the platform used up to that point is generated
when you press the n key. The GMP header for the other platform is included on the
next printout generated.
A GMP-compliant printout is generated automatically at the conclusion of calibration/
adjustment and linearization routines, as well as when you set or delete a preload.
If you use a label printer for GMP-compliant printouts, you may find that a single label is
not long enough for the data printed. If this is the case, you can activate the automatic
form feed after each printout of a GMP header and measurement results. The following
provides sample GMP headers and footers (see “Sample Printouts").

Care and Maintenance
Service
Regular servicing by a Sartorius technician will extend the service life of your equipment and
ensure its continued weighing accuracy. Sartorius offers its customers service contracts with
regular maintenance intervals ranging from one month to two years. The frequency of the
maintenance intervals depends on the operating conditions and the operator's tolerance
requirements.
Repairs
Disconnect the power supply to the defective equipment immediately (unplug the power
2 cord from the mains supply). Repair work must be performed by authorized Sartorius service
technicians using original spare parts. Repairs performed by untrained persons may result in
considerable hazards for the user.
If a cable or cable gland is damaged or defective, replace the cable as a complete unit with
2 all its connectors.
Do not open the indicator while it is carrying current. Wait at least 10 seconds after
2 disconnecting it from power before beginning to open the equipment. Proper fitting of all
surfaces is essential for the IP rating of the housing; for this reason the device must be
opened and closed by a certified technician.
Cleaning
Indicators are designed in compliance with European Hygienic Equipment Design Group
(EHEDG) directives on suitable measures to avoid contamination, so that they are particularly
easy to clean and disinfect.
Disconnect the power supply to the indicator (unplug the power cord from the mains
2 supply). If necessary, disconnect the data cable.
Make sure that no liquid enters the indicator.

2
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents (solvents or similar agents).
2

Disposal
If the packaging is no longer needed, it can be disposed of by local waste disposal

authorities. The packaging is made of environmentally friendly materials that can be used
as secondary raw materials.
The equipment, including accessories and batteries, should not be disposed of as regular
household waste. EU legislation requires its Member States to collect electrical and electronic
equipment and dispose of it separately from other unsorted municipal waste so that it may
be recycled.
In Germany and many other countries, Sartorius AG takes care of the return and legally
compliant disposal of its electrical and electronic equipment. These products may not be
placed with household waste or brought to collection centers run by local public disposal
operation - 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 local
service technicians or our Service Center in Goettingen, Germany:
Sartorius AG
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 dealerships 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 will not take back equipment contaminated with hazardous materials (ABC
contamination) either for repair or disposal. Please refer to our website (www.sartorius.com)
or contact the Sartorius Service Department for more detailed information regarding repair
service addresses or the disposal of your device.

Appendix: Guide to Verification of Weighing Instruments
Evidence of compatibility for modules used with non-automatic

weighing instruments
The documents required to verify a weighing instrument for legal metrology can be
created using the data, documents, and programs available from the Sartorius website.
The printout of the completed forms is valid as a model for verification of the weighing
instrument produced by the scale manufacturer. Once this has been properly completed
and signed by the weighing instrument manufacturer, it is submitted to the weights and
measures officer together with the Declaration of Conformity (under “Documents").
Information important to the weights and measures officer may include the type
approval certificate, test certificate or a test report. The test certificate and the
manufacturer's information concerning the weigh cell will also be required.
Filling in the evidence of compatibility
t The Guide to Verification of Weighing Instruments, complete with Excel file, documents
and information, is available from Sartorius on the Internet at:
