Operating instructions

Service
Regular servicing by a Sartorius
technician will extend the service life of
your indicator and ensure its continued
weighing accuracy. Sartorius can offer
you service contracts, with your choice
of regular maintenance intervals
ranging from 1 month to 2 years.
The length of the service interval
depends on the operating conditions
at the place of installation and on
your requirements.
Repairs
! Disconnect defective equipment from
power immediately (unplug the power
cord from the wall outlet). Repair work
must be performed by trained service
technicians authorized by Sartorius
and using original Sartorius parts.
Any attempt by untrained persons to
perform repairs may result in hazards
for the user.
Note: In case of defects during the war-
ranty period, please return the entire
indicator to the factory.
! If a cable or cable gland is defective or
damaged, replace the entire assembly.
! Do not open the indicator housing
while the indicator is electrically charged
(live). Wait at least 10 seconds after
disconnecting the equipment from power
before opening the housing. Because
the fitting surfaces of the housing parts
directly affect the IP protection rating,
make sure to prevent any damage that
would affect the seal when opening and
closing the indicator housing.
Cleaning
The Sartorius Combics indicators are
designed in compliance with directives
of the EHEDG (European Hygienic
Equipment Design Group) and in
accordance with HACCP (Hazard Analysis
and Critical Control Points) standards
for prevention of contamination, which
means they are particularly easy to
clean and disinfect.
! Disconnect from AC power: unplug the
equipment from the wall outlet (mains
supply) and disconnect the data cable
(if connected).
! Make sure that no liquid enters the
indicator housing.
! Do not use any aggressive cleaning
agents (solvents or similar agents).
§ Clean the indicator using a piece of
cloth dampened with a detergent.
$ If used in the food industry, use a
cleaning agent suitable for the working
environment.
§ After cleaning, wipe down the indicator
with a soft, dry cloth.
! Do not use jets of water or compressed
air to clean the indicator.
Replacing the Dust Cover
> Replace damaged dust covers.
§ Place the new dust cover on the
indicator and press down on the front
and back along the edges until the
cover is firmly seated .
Safety Inspection
Safe operation of the device is no
longer ensured when:
– there is visible damage to the device
or the power cord
– the built-in power supply no longer
functions properly
– the device has been stored for a
relatively long period under unfavorable
conditions (e.g., extreme moisture)
– the equipment has been subjected to
rough handling during shipment
If there is any indication that safe
operation of the device is no longer
warranted:
§ Disconnect from AC power: unplug
the equipment from the wall outlet
(mains supply)
> Lock the device in a secure place to
prevent it from further usage.
§ In this case, notify your nearest
Sartorius Service Center.
Maintenance and repair work may be
performed only by authorized Sartorius
Service technicians who:
– have access to the required service and
maintenance manuals
– have attended the relevant service
training courses
! The seals affixed to the equipment
housing indicate that the equipment
may be opened only by authorized
service technicians, to ensure safe and
trouble-free operation of the equipment
and to maintain the conditions for
warranty coverage.
Sartorius products are packaged
to ensure safe shipment using
environmentally friendly materials. If
you do not need to save the packaging
after successful installation of the
equipment, you should return it for
recycling.
For information on recycling options,
including recycling of old weighing
equipment, contact your municipal
waste disposal center or local recycling
