Safety Precautions
Safety Precautions
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!
1 Do not use this equipment in hazardous areas in which explosive materials are present.
Danger of Electrical Shock!

Operating Concept: Q-Guide

The Cubis precision and analytical balances are controlled by application software
with interactive operator guidance. Once you open a menu or select an application,
brief instructions shown on the display will guide you through the menu or applica-
tion step-by-step. At each step along the way, the display shows only those options
that are relevant to your process; this helps prevent unnecessary “detours” and ena-
bles you to reach your destination more quickly.
This type of user guidance is mostly intuitive. Although operation of the balance is
also mostly intuitive, this manual includes a section with very detailed, step-by-step
instructions where you can learn about all of the available options (see “Creating
User Profiles” in the chapter “User Management”).
Basic Operational Structure

The most basic functions, weighing and taring, can be carried out as soon as the
balance is switched on. The application software is divided into three general areas
in which individual settings can be configured:
Simple weighing
configurations
Preset
D TASK H USER
Task management (from page 58) User management (from page 129)
Select application, start Select user
Configure application Create user profile
Configured
Configure task

System settings (from page 37)
In Task Management (TASK), task profiles with specific applications, weighing and
printout settings can be configured.
User Management (USER) lets you set up user profiles with specific configura-
tion settings and user rights. You can also set up password protection to meet your
security requirements. Your balance can also be used for user management.

Using the Balance
The System Settings (Menu) contains all basic settings and parameters used to
operate the balance that affect the entire balance operation. They can also be used
for creating new tasks.
The Wizard
You can choose between two display types in several menus:
The overview lists all parameters with their set options. You can select each individual
option to change its setting.
When you activate the wizard in the same menu, the program guides you step-by-
step: The individual parameters and their options are displayed in succession.
Using the Display and Control Unit
Control keys:
D TASK key: Opens Task Management in which applications can be selected and tasks
defined. While working in this menu, you can also use the TASK key to cancel at
any time and return to task overview.
H USER key: Opens User Management in which users can be selected and user set-
tings can be made. While working in this menu, you can also use the USER key to
cancel at any time and return to user overview.
J Left and right TARE keys: Used to zero and tare the balance.
P PRINT key: Used to print the currently displayed measurement results

or a user-specific print out.

You have already learned how to use the menus (see chapter “Using the Touch
Screen”). Only the configuration options and their meanings are described below.

Leveling the Balance (Q-Level)

It is essential for exact weighing results that the balance is absolutely level.
The front leveling feet can be used to level out small tilts of the floor.
Leveling must always be carried out when the balance is moved to another setup
location or shifted in its place.
Depending on the model, the balance is equipped either with leveling feet that can
be operated manually or motorized leveling feet.
An integrated sensor detects the alignment of the balance and triggers a warning
message when leveling is required. You can configure the leveling notice and the
automatic leveling function (see System Settings/Device Parameters).
When the isoCAL function is activated, the isoCal function is triggered after manual
leveling. Balances with motorized leveling feet are leveled automatically prior to
each new calibration/adjustment.
h Note: The balance needs to be re-leveled and then adjusted each time its setup
location is changed.
When “Level me” appears on the display, you must level the balance.
The process is quick and easy.
t Touch the tab Level me

or
t Select the option Level the balance from the menu.
t Make sure that the weighing pan is empty.

Viewing Records in Audit Trail

In Audit Trail, all changes are logged that have been performed in the menu, in the
user profiles and in the task profiles.
The following will be recorded: user, profile, parameter ID, parameter, old and new
setting.

Alibi Memory
The alibi memory contains (stores) weighing results with date and time and process
number. This takes place every time a print event is triggered (e.g., by pressing
Print P). The alibi memory is required when you wish to continue working with
the weighing data on a computer.
The data memory has a ring buffer. The oldest data records can thus be overwritten
by new ones. The user can define a memory-time dependent overwrite protection
as well as a storage period if desired (default: 90 days, see chapter “Device
Parameters”). The alibi memory can contain approximately 450,000 data records;
the storage capacity depends on the volume of the individual data records.
The alibi memory is verifiable. When the balance is verified, you must check the
correct function of the alibi memory by saving some values.
If the alibi memory is used in legal metrology (according to Council Directive 90/384/
EEC, replaced by 2009/23/EC , you should observe the following instructions:
– Make sure that there is sufficient storage capacity. Responsibility for this lies
with the operator.
– The weighing results should be stored together with a unique ID code (e.g.,
number or date and time). This makes it possible for every weighing operation
or weighing result to be assigned and verified if necessary without any prob-
lem. These ID codes must be indicated on any records generated on peripheral
devices.
– When data are output, all the required tare and net values will be saved.
– It must be possible for the contractual partners involved to be able to check
and verify the stored weighing results.
– Any continuously indicated weighing results that are not previously stored and
have no identification codes may only be used in applications that are not for
use in legal metrology (e.g., batching, controlling or the like). It is not permissi-
ble to circulate any results lacking identification codes for applications used in
legal metrology!
– Records can be prepared by a peripheral device not subject to legal verification
according to the preamble to Annex I of Directive 90/384/EEC (2009/23/EC)
and Section 7b (3) 2 of the German Verification Act.
These records must contain the following information:
– An ID for every weighing result;
– When used in Germany, an additional indication that the weighing results
may be compared with the weighing results legally stored on basis of the
identification.
You must first install and activate the alibi memory in order to use it (see Device
Parameters/Configuring the Alibi Memory).
Searching for and Displaying Data in the Alibi Memory

You can combine applications that are saved in the balance into one
task. The following rules need to be followed (see table below):
– An application can only be combined with applications from different groups.
– You can only combine the applications of the first three groups in the given
order, e.g., weighing with checkweighing and totalizing. The sequence weighing,
totalizing and checkweighing is not possible.
– The applications of the Additional Functions group can be combined freely,
the order is not relevant in this case.
When you combine applications, the Cubis software automatically suggests only
those applications that follow the corresponding rules.

Minimum Sample Quantity SQmin

Purpose: This application is used to compare the measured weight value directly with the
defined minimum sample quantity (SQmin = sample quantity minimum). This
ensures that weighing results are within tolerances defined by your quality assur-
ance system. This fulfils the requirements of United States Pharmacopeia (USP).
According to USP guidelines, the measurement uncertainly can be a max. of 0.1%
related to the initial weight when weighing substances for quantitative analyses.
Requirements: The balance 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 load this to your balance using the guidelines of your QA system. 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.
Combination options: Mass unit conversion, second tare memory, individual identifiers, (DKD measurement
uncertainty)

Calculation Basis for Density Determination

The density determination application is based on the equations:
Rho Density of sample (l)
lfl Density of buoyancy liquid
Wa Weight of sample in air
Wfl Weight of sample in liquid (for determining density of liquids, buoyancy and
displacement)
Weight of fill medium (for pycnometer)
Wr Weight of sample and fill medium (for pycnometer)
LA Air buoyancy correction = 0.0012 g/ccm
Buoyancy: Rho = (Wa * (lfl - LA)) / ((Wa - Wfl) * corr) + LA
Displacement: Rho = (Wa * (lfl - LA)) / (Wfl * corr) + LA
When the displacement method is used to correct for buoyancy by means of a wire
(string) suspended in liquid, the factor 1.00000 is used in the calculation as factory-
set default.
The correction factor Corr is calculated from: Corr = 1 - n * d2 / D2

with:
n No. of wires:
d Wire diameter (YKD01MS: 0.7 mm)
D Inner diameter of the vessel being used (YKD01MS: 76 mm)
When other vessels or other submersion assemblies are used, this

factor can be changed by modifying the parameters for the density kit.

Averaging
Averaging
Purpose: This application is used for moving samples (e.g., live animals) and for weighing
in unstable environments. A measurement cycle is automatically carried out with
a defined number of measurements for each object to be weighed. The individual
measurements are averaged and this average is displayed as the result.
On balances used in legal metrology, follow the directions in the “Execute Task”
section!
Options: You can start the measurement manually or it can start automatically as soon
as the min. weight is reached. Depending on how strong the unsteadiness of the
sample is, you can vary the sensitivity at the start of the measurement. The number
of measurements from which the average is taken can also be defined.
Combination options: Checkweighing, timer controlled functions, totalizing, statistics, formulation,
SQmin function, DKD measurement uncertainty, second tare, individual identifiers.
D Configure Task: Averaging
t Select how the application should start.

Start by pressing key: This starts the application manually.
*Start when load placed on balance: The application starts automatically as
soon as a pre-defined min. load is exceeded.
t Define the min. load for the automatic start of the averaging and/or for the
release of the result display for the manual start.
none, 10, 20, 50, *100, ...1000 digits
The number of digits depends on the balance resolution (see Display).

Example: For a balance with a resolution of d = 0.1 (100 mg), 100 digits means
a min. load of 100 + 0.1 = 10 g. With this setting, the automatic start would
be triggered as soon as a min. of 10 g was placed on the balance.
Only for automatic start:

t Determine the weighing mode: *Initial weighing or Final readout.

Averaging
t Enter the sensitivity for the start of the measurement:

0.1%, 0.2%, 0.5% ... *10% ... 50% of averg./object
This entry estimates the strength of unrest that is caused by the activity at the
beginning when loading the balance (e.g., animal movement). You can use the
rough estimation or a more detailed estimation using percentages.
The weight value changes with each movement of the weighing pan. As soon
as three consecutive measurement values are within the selected unrest range,
the interval measurement begins.
Example: You are weighing animals with an average weight of approx. 300 g.
With the “5% of averg./object” setting, the measurement starts when the move-
ments are within a range of 15 g, i.e., ± 7.5 g. With the “50% of averg./object”
setting, the interval measurement would start when the weight value was within a
range of 150 g, i.e., ± 75 g.

Example: Each animal should receive a food supplement of 50 mg per kg of body

weight. For this, the factor 0.05 can be entered (weight value in g/1000 g + 0.05 g).
During the measurement, both the weight value (animal weight, e.g., 285 g) as well
as the calculated value (amount of supplement, e.g., 14.25 mg) can be displayed.

Formulation
Formulation
Purpose: This application is used to weigh while adding several components consecutively.
The balance is tared automatically after each component. The weight values of all
individual components as well as the total weight results are recorded and can
be logged.
You can save a maximum of 65535 components.
Combination options: Mass unit conversion, second tare memory and individual identifiers,
(SQmin function, DKD measurement uncertainty)
Options: The program allows 7 different formulations.
1) Fixed formulation in grams: Number of components and the weight portion

of each component (in g) are fixed.
2) Fixed formulation in % with total = 100%, total weight is entered:

Number of components and the percentage of each component are fixed.
The total weight is entered when the task is started. If the percentages do not add
up to 100, the individual values are converted to 100%.
Example: Number of components nDef =3; component 1 = 25%, component
2 = 30%, component 3 = 10%; components, total = 65% is set equal to 100%.
Component 1: 25%/65% * 100 = 38.46%; Component 2: 30%/65% * 100 = 46.15%;
Component 3: 10%/65% * 100 = 15.38%
3) Fixed formulation in % with total = 100%, total weight is calculated

according to the first component: Number of components and the percentage
of each component are fixed. If the percentages do not add up to 100, the
individual values are converted to 100% (cf. Formulation 2). After weighing the first
component, the total weight (100%) is calculated.
4) Fixed formulation in % with total <> 100%, total weight is entered:

Number of components and the percentage of each component are fixed.
If the total of percentages does not equal 100, the individual values are not
converted. The total weight is entered, for each component, the user-defined
weight and the percentage are displayed before weighing.
5) Fixed formulation in % with total = 100%, total weight is calculated

according to the first component: Number of components and the percentage of
each component are fixed. If the percentages do not add up to 100, the individual
values are converted to 100%. For the first component, the user-defined weight is
displayed before weighing in percent. After weighing the first component, the total
weight (100%) is calculated. Before weighing any other component, the respective
user-defined weight is displayed in g and %.
6) Variable formulation in grams, component count are in a fixed order:

Before weighing the first component, you can change the number of components;
before weighing each component you can change its name.
7) Variable formulation in grams, component count are in a fixed order:

Before weighing the first component, you can zero the number of components;
before weighing each component you can change its name.

Formulation
For all formulations, the following applies:

– The individual components can be stored manually or automatically
(first reproducible value).
– If automatic storage of values was selected, the minimum load is determined
when the task is created.
– After weighing the first component, the Calc. button is displayed. That way,
you can change the display to show the intermediate result.
– Once the intermediate result is displayed, you can delete the value of the last
weighed component by pressing the button Corr. and it will be removed from
the calculation. This allows you to delete all components step-by-step
in reverse order. Deleting is not reversible!
– Use the Back button to toggle the display and continue the task.
– After the defined number of components has been weighed, the evaluation is
displayed. Here, too, you can still delete the components (beginning with the
last component) and weigh them again.
Note: For the seventh formulation, there is no automatic evaluation because
the defined number of components is zero. You have to operate the evaluation
manually by touching Calc.

Calibration and Adjustment

Background During calibration, a check weight is used to determine how much the displayed
value deviates from the actual measurement value. This deviation is compared
with an entered target value and this deviation is then eliminated by a subsequent
adjustment of the balance. During linearization, the deviation of the values from
the ideal characteristic curve is cleared.
Not all functions/settings can be selected on balances used in legal metrology!
When and how often Calibration/Adjustment should be carried out on a regular basis, e.g., daily after the
balance is turned on. In addition, it should be done after each leveling and always
when the ambient conditions have changed (temperature, humidity or air pressure),
and when the balance has been set up in another location.
isoCal All Cubis balances are equipped with the automatic calibration function isoCal
(time and temperature-controlled). You can adapt this function according to your
requirements. You can set up a memory function that triggers a prompt for
calibration/adjustment at specified intervals.

Interfaces
Interfaces
Purpose Interfaces are used to exchange data with ported peripheral devices:
Measured values and calculated values can be output to a printer, PC or control
display; conversely, control commands and data inputs can be sent to ported
devices (PC, keyboard, foot switch, barcode scanner).
Except for PS2, each interface has to be configured according to the peripheral
device and desired function. No error messages are generated just because no
device is connected to an interface port (open data port).
Features Cubis series balances have at least three interfaces:

1 Peripheral port (25-pin interface), Com A
1
2 USB interface for a PC connection, Com B
2 3 The slot may contain other ports (Com C):
– 25-pin interface (YDO01MS-R)
– 9-pin interface with 6-pin PS2 port (YDO01MS-P)
– Bluetooth® module (YDO01MS-B)
4 Ethernet interface (on the bottom of the display unit), Com D
3
4
Data Exchange Protocols For data exchange, the interfaces are configured with the following protocols:
– Printer output
– SBI (Sartorius Balance Interface): Sartorius standard protocol for output to
a PC or control unit. This simple ASCII-based protocol allows you to use ESC
commands from your PC to control the basic weighing functions.
– xBPI (eXtended Balance Processor Interface, also called X-Bus): Binary protocol
with extended command volume. This protocol lets you control numerous
weighing functions. For further information on this, please contact Sartorius.
– SICS and mini-SICS (Standard Interface Common Set): This interface protocol
enables operation and control of the balance via a connected PC. You can read
out measurement data, enter weighing commands and activate all operating
functions.
To use the protocols, application software must be installed on the PC,
e.g., SartoTerminal.
Synchronization During data communication between balance and PC, messages consisting of ASCII
or binary characters are transmitted via the interface. For error-free data exchange,
parameters for baud rate, parity, handshake mode and character format must be
identical for both units.
You can configure the respective settings in the System Settings menu. In addition
to these settings, data output for the balance can also be made dependent on
several conditions that are defined in the individual tasks. These conditions are
described under each of the tasks.

Interfaces
USB Port (PC)

Purpose Any Cubis balance can be connected to a PC equipped with a USB port. A virtual
serial interface (virtual COM port) is set up as a device type at the USB port. This
virtual serial interface is identified und operated by the application program.
The protocols xBPI, SBI and SICS can be transferred via the USB port.
3 The USB port is designed for the laboratory environment and is not suitable for use
in purely industrial environments. Full IP protection is only guaranteed when the
USB cover is closed.
System Requirements – Computer (PC) with Windows 98SE®, Windows ME®, Windows 2000®,
Windows XP®, Windows Vista® or Windows 7®
– Available USB port on the PC
– USB cable
Software Driver and Installation Guides The VCP driver, used to set up the virtual interface on the computer, can be
downloaded from the internet: http://www.ftdichip.com/FTDrivers.htm
The installation guides for the drivers can be found here:
http://www.ftdichip.com/Documents/InstallGuides.htm

Interfaces
Explanations for the Setting Parameters

Selected Protocol/Handshake
The SBI (Sartorius Balance Interface) has transmit and receive buffers.
Data transmission can be operated with a hardware or software handshake.
Hardware Handshake (CTS/DTR): With a hardware handshake (4-wire interface) protocol, the handshake is controlled
via the CTS and DTR lines.
Software Handshake (XON, XOFF): The software handshake is controlled via the XON and XOFF control commands.
When the device is switched on, XON must be transmitted to enable any connected
device to communicate.
Data transmission:
Balance ––– byte –––> PC

(transmitting device) ––– byte –––> (receiving device)
––– byte –––>
––– byte –––>
<––– XOFF –––
––– byte –––>
––– byte –––>
…
(Pause)
…
<––– XON –––
––– byte –––>
––– byte –––>
––– byte –––>
––– byte –––>
Transmitting Device: Once XOFF has been received, it prevents further transmission of characters.
Once XON has been received it re-enables the transmitting device to send data.
Receiving Device: To prevent too many control commands from being received at one time, XON
is not transmitted until the buffer is almost empty.

Interfaces
Bluetooth® Interface (COM C, Optional)

How to assemble the Bluetooth® module is described in the installation instructions

t Lay the Ethernet cable (6) through the cable channel of the weighing module.

Interfaces
Configuring Network Operation (Ethernet)

Preparation: Before you can start with the configuration, you will require some information
about your network. Please contact your network administrator. The important
question is whether your network supports DHCP or not.
DHCP With DHCP, you can automatically link a (new) balance to an existing network
without having to configure it manually. Normally, the balance (client) only
requires the automatic acquisition setting for IP address (factory setting).
DHCP is supported In this case, no additional information is required.
DHCP is not supported In this case, you need the following information from the network administrator:
– IP address
– Subnet mask
– Default gateway address
Device name (host name): This name can be changed if required.
This name is used to select the balance in the network.
Select Network Settings (Fixed Setting)
t Open the Network parameter (Ethernet) submenu.
t To change the IP settings, touch the input field behind

Network configuration input field.
t Select Use fixed IP address and confirm with OK.
t In the overview, check all settings and change as required.
Host name (device name): You can select this name freely.
This name is used to select the balance in the network.
t If you then want to produce an Ethernet connection, write down the IP address
now.
t To save the network configuration, touch Save.

y The Configure ports submenu is displayed.

Interfaces
Configuring Network Interface (Com D)

t Open the Network ports submenu.
t Define the operating mode and, depending on the connection type, either
Server port and address or the local TCP port.
Operating mode: No function/XBPI/SBI/Printer output/SICS protocol
Connection type (of the balance): Server/Client
Examples:
For the connection type Balance = Server you only need to enter the local TCP
port (e.g., for working with the Sartorius SartoCollect software for data
communication).
For the connection type Balance = Client, you have to enter the server TCP port
and the server IP address (e.g., for working with “Virtual serial port emulator”
as the server for all previous serial PC applications with the balance or for printing
on a network printer server).
Remote Control of the Balance from a PC via Ethernet

System Requirements
– PC with internet browser
– Operating system Windows, Mac OS, Linux, Unix or Solaris.
Installation
t Connect the balance to your network via the Ethernet interface.
t Enter the IP address of the balance in the address field of your Windows browser.
The IP address of your balance is listed under Menu/Device Information/Basic
data.
Port Release
– If you are having problems with the connection, you must configure your
firewall to release the right TCP/IP UDP port.
– If you are using a router and want to access your computer on the internet via
your IP address, the port must also be set in the router’s virtual server settings.
This means that you must forward the port to the IP address of the server.
– If you still have problems, you may have to deactivate your firewall temporarily
while using a browser connection.

Care and Maintenance

Service
Regular servicing by a Sartorius technician will extend the service life of your balance
and ensure its continued weighing accuracy. Sartorius offers its customers service
contracts with regular maintenance intervals ranging from 1 month to 2 years.
The frequency of the maintenance intervals depends on the operating conditions
and user’s tolerance requirements.
Repairs
Repair work must only be performed by trained service technicians. Repairs
performed by untrained persons may result in considerable hazards for the user.
3 The device should be unplugged during repair work.

Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
Repair work must only be performed by Sartorius-trained service technicians.
As needed: Please contact your Sartorius dealer!
Cleaning the Balance
3 Ensure that no dust or liquid enters the balance weighing system.
Do not use aggressive cleaning agents (solvents or similar agents).
Disconnect from the voltage supply: Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet
and unplug any data cables connected to the balance.
Models with a Readability of >10 mg:

– These models meet 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.
– 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.
t Open the panels of the analytical draft shield completely.
t Clean the housing and interior of the balance with a cloth lightly moistened
with a soap solution.
t Dry all parts with a soft, dry cloth or use blotting paper to absorb dampness.
Then replace all dried parts.
t Remove panels from the analytical draft shield and clean them with
commercially available glass cleaner. Dry the panels and then reinstall them
in the balance.

t Carefully remove any sample residue/spilled powder using a brush or

hand-held vacuum.
t If necessary, remove the weighing pan, shield plate and pan support.
1
1) Weighing pan
2
2) Shield plate/draft shield
3) Pan support
3
t Clean parts with a cloth or brush.
Then replace the parts.
Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces

All stainless steel parts should be cleaned at regular intervals.
Use a damp cloth or sponge to clean stainless steel parts on the balance.
Only use conventional household cleaning agents which are suitable for stainless
steel (e.g., Stahlfix). After this, let the device dry.
For additional protection, protective oil may be applied.
Remove the stainless steel weighing pan and thoroughly clean it separately.
Only use solvents for cleaning stainless steel parts.
The stainless steel weighing pan should be cleaned simply by rubbing. After this,
rinse the equipment thoroughly until all residue is removed.
No protective oil should be applied to the stainless steel weighing pan!

Safety Inspection
If there is any indication that safe operation of the balance is no longer warranted:
t Disconnect from the supply voltage: Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
t Secure the AC adapter and cord so that they cannot be used.
Safe operation of the mass comparator with the AC adapter is no longer ensured
when:
– The AC adapter or the mains connecting lead shows visible damage.

– The AC adapter no longer functions properly.
– Following extended storage in adverse conditions.
In this case, notify the Sartorius Service Center.
Maintenance and repair work may be performed only by authorized service techni-
cians who have access to the required maintenance manuals and instructions and
who have received the necessary training.
We recommend that the AC adapter be inspected by a qualified service technician

with regard to the following:
– Leakage current: <0.25 mA measured with a properly calibrated multimeter.

– Insulation resistance >SOhm as measured with a constant voltage of at least
500 volts at a 500 kOhm load.
The duration and number of checks should be determined by a qualified Sartorius

service technician on site based on specific ambient and operating conditions
(once a year as a minimum).

Declarations of Conformity
Weighing instruments for use in legal metrology: Council Directive 2009/23/EC
“Non-automatic Weighing Instruments”
This Directive regulates the determination of mass in legal metrology.
For the respective Declaration of Conformity for weighing instruments that have
been verified by SARTORIUS for use as legal measuring instruments and that have
an EC Type-Approval Certificate, see next page.
This Directive also regulates EC verification by the manufacturer, provided that

an EC Type Approval Certificate has been issued and the manufacturer has been
accredited by a notified body registered at the Commission of the European
Community for performing such verification.
The legal basis for Sartorius to perform the EC verification is EC Directive No.
2009/23/EC for non-automatic weighing instruments. This Council Directive has
been in effect since January 1, 1993 in the Internal Market. The further legal basis
is founded on the Sartorius Quality Management System issued by the Metrology
Department of the Regional -Administration Office of Lower Saxony, Germany
(“Niedersächsisches Landesverwaltungsamt - Eichwesen”) on February 15, 1993.
“Installation” Service in Germany

Our “Installation” service package provides a range of important services that
guarantee your satisfaction with our work:
– Setup
– Operation
– Inspection
– Instruction
If the initial installation of the weighing instrument is to be carried out by

Sartorius, please request this service from a customer service employee.
Re-verification in Germany
The validity of the verification ends when the next but one calendar year has elapsed.
When the weighing instrument is used for the control of filling quantities according to
the regulation on prepackaging, the verification ends when the next calendar year has
elapsed. Re-verification should be requested in good time from the local Weights and
Measures office. As appropriate, please observe all statutory amendments.
Subsequent Verifications within the European Countries

The expiration date of the verification depends on the national regulations of the
country in which the weighing instrument is used. For information on verification
and legal regulations currently applicable in your country, and to obtain the names
of the persons to contact, please contact your local Sartorius office, dealer or ser-
vice center.
Further information concerning verification can be obtained from our customer

service centers.
