Care and Maintenance
Service
Regular servicing by a Sartorius technician will extend the service life of your scale 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 frequency of maintenance intervals depends on the operating conditions and your
tolerance requirements.
Repairs
Repair work must be performed by trained service technicians. Any attempt by untrained
persons to perform repairs may lead to considerable hazards for the user.
Cleaning
! Disconnect the scale from the AC adapter and unplug any interface cables that are
connected to the scale.
! Make sure that no liquids enter the scale housing.
! Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents (solvents or similar agents).
§ Unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet (mains supply).
§ If you have a data cable connected to the interface, unplug it from the scale.
§ Clean the scale using a piece of cloth that has been wet with a mild detergent (soap).
§ After cleaning, wipe down the scale with a soft, dry cloth.
Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces
Clean all stainless steel parts regularly. Remove the stainless steel weighing pan and
thoroughly cleaning it separately outside the hazardous area/location. Use a damp cloth
or sponge to clean any stainless steel parts on the scale. You can use any commercially
available household cleaning agent that is suitable for use on stainless steel. Clean
stainless steel surfaces by wiping them down. Then clean the weighing pan thoroughly,
making sure to remove all residues. Use a damp cloth or sponge to wipe down any
stainless steel parts on the scale again. Afterwards, allow the scale to dry. If desired, you
can apply oil to the cleaned surfaces as additional protection.
! Do not use stainless steel cleaning agents that contain soda lye (caustic), acetic acid,
hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or citric acid. The use of scrubbing sponges made
with steel wool is not permitted.
Solvents are permitted for use only on stainless steel parts.
