– Gem tray (GK models only)

Instruments with a round glass draft shield:

§ Position the components listed below in the order

given:
– Place the lower lid on the balance/scale with the
raised edge facing upwards and turn it until it is
firmly in position
– Pan support
– Weighing pan
– Glass draft shield
– Gem tray (GK models only)
– Place the upper lid on the draft shield with the
raised edge facing downwards

Instruments with a round weighing pan

§ Position the components listed below in the order
given:
– Pan support
– Weighing pan
– Weighing bowl (GW models only)

Instruments with a rectangular weighing pan:

§ Place the weighing pan on the balance/scale
§ Weighing bowl (GW models only)

 Connecting the Balance/Scale to AC Power/
Safety Precautions
Use only genuine Sartorius AC adapters. For use
within Europe: part no. 6971948

§ Connect the angle plug to the balance/scale

§ Connect the AC adapter to the wall outlet (mains)

AC Adapter with Country-specific Power Cord

Some models come with separate country-specific
power cords for the AC adapter. In Europe, use only
genuine Sartorius AC adapter part no. 6971982.

§ Connect the angle plug to the balance/scale

§ Select the power cord for your area and connect it
to the AC adapter
§ Plug the power cord into the wall outlet (mains)

The ground terminal is connected to the

balance/scale housing, which can be additionally
grounded for operation.

Set the required voltage, if necessary.

If you need to set the voltage, use one of the
following genuine Sartorius adapters:
– TNG8 adapter, part no. 6971951 (universal)
or
– TNG8 adapter, part no. 6971952 (for the UK)

§ Move the switch to set the voltage to 230 V or 115 V

 Connecting Electronic Peripheral Devices
§ Make sure to unplug the balance/scale from AC
power before you connect or disconnect a peripheral
device (printer or computer) to or from the interface
port.

Warmup Time
To ensure accurate results, the balance/scale must
warm up for 30 minutes before operation. Only after
this time will the instrument have reached the
required operating temperature.

Using Verified Balances/Scales in Legal Metrology

in the EU*:
$ Make sure to allow the equipment to warm up for at
least 24 hours after initial connection to AC power
or after a relatively long power outage.

* Including the Signatories of the Agreement on the

European Economic Area

9
 Leveling the Balance/Scale

Purpose:
– To compensate for unevenness at the place of
installation

Always level the balance/scale again any time after

it has been moved to a different location. Only the
2 front feet are adjusted to level the balance/scale.

§ Retract the two rear feet (only on models with

a rectangular weighing pan).

§ Turn the 2 front feet as shown in the diagram until

the air bubble is centered within the circle of the
level indicator.

> In most cases this will require several adjustment

steps.

§ On models with a rectangular weighing pan: extend

the 2 rear feet until they touch the surface on which
the balance/scale rests.

Anti-theft Locking Device

§ To secure the balance/scale at the place of
installation, fasten a chain or a lock to the lug
located on the rear panel of the balance/scale.

10
 Below-Balance/Scale Weighing
A port for a below-balance/scale weighing hanger
is located on the bottom of the balance/scale.

$ Below-balance/scale weighing is not permitted in

legal metrology.

§ Open cover plate on the bottom of the

balance/scale.
Important: set the balance/scale on its side to access
the cover plate. DO NOT turn the balance/scale
upside-down!

§ Using the built-in hook 1: Attach the sample

(e.g., using a suspension wire) to the hanger.

2 $ Bore hole 2 (not on models ED153.., ED822..,

ED8201, ED5201, or ED2201): Carefully fasten the
special hanger, or order a hanger directly from
Sartorius.

$ Install a shield for protection against drafts
if necessary.

Using Verified Balances/Scales as Legal

Measuring Instruments in the EU*:
Before using your balance/scale as a
legal measuring instrument, internal
calibration must be performed at the
place of installation.

Features
Calibration/adjustment can be
performed only when:
– there is no load on the balance/scale,
– the balance/scale is tared, and
– the internal signal is stable.

 Mass Unit Conversion

Purpose
With this application program you can change the weight value displayed from the basic
weight unit to any of 4 application weight units (see table on next page).

Features
– Set the basic unit and display accuracy in the Setup menu: see “Configuration.”
– Set the application weight units and display accuracies in the Application menu.
– These settings are stored in battery-backed memory.
– The basic unit is active when the balance/scale is powered up.

Example: Change display from the basic unit (in this example, grams [g]) to pounds [lb]
and then to Troy ounces [ozt].

Commands (Data Input Format)
You can connect a computer to your balance/scale to send commands via the balance/scale
interface port for controlling balance/scale functions and applications. The commands sent
are control commands and may have different formats. Control commands consist of up to
13 characters. Each character must be transmitted according to the settings configured in
the operating menu for data transmission.

Format for Control Commands

Format 1: Esc ! CR LF
Format 2: Esc ! # _ CR LF

Esc: Escape (optional) CR: Carriage return

 Care and Maintenance

Service
On request, Sartorius can offer you an individual
service contract.

Repairs
Repair work must be performed by trained service
technicians. Any attempt by untrained persons to
perform repairs may result in considerable hazards
for the user.

Cleaning
§ Unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet (mains
supply). If you have an interface cable connected to
the balance/scale port, unplug it from the port.
$ The plastic upper and lower segments of the
balance/scale housing are protected by a special
coating, so that they will not be damaged by the
solvents usually used for cleaning.
! Do not used solvents or aggressive cleaning agents
on the following parts: keypad overlay, power jack,
data interface
§ After cleaning, wipe down the balance/scale with
a soft, dry cloth.

On analytical balances remove and clean the

weighing pan as follows:
§ Reach beneath the shield disk and lift it carefully,
together with the pan support, to avoid damaging
the weighing system.

! Make sure that no liquid enters the balance/scale

housing.

Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces

Clean all stainless steel parts regularly. Remove
the stainless steel weighing pan and thoroughly
clean it separately. Use a damp cloth or sponge to
clean stainless steel parts on the balance/scale.
You can use any household cleaning agent that is
suitable for use on stainless steel. Clean stainless
steel surfaces only by wiping them down. Then rinse
the equipment thoroughly, making sure to remove
all residues. Afterwards, allow the equipment to dry.
If desired, you can apply oil to the cleaned surfaces as
additional protection.
