Intended Use
The weighing platform is a component of a modular scale, consisting
of the weighing platform and an indicator (which is comprised of an
analog/digital converter and a display and operator terminal), such as
a Combics CIS2 | CIS3 indicator. Each indicator comes with a separate
installation and operating manual.
Note:
The verifiable models ("-.CE") can be verified for use as a scale only
when connected to an indicator.
Read the installation and operating instructions carefully before
connecting the weighing platform and putting it into operation.
Warnings and Safety Precautions
Note:
Improper use or handling can result in damage and/or injury. The pallet
or flat-bed scale may be installed and operated by qualified personnel
only. Make sure you observe the warning and safety information in its
entirety during installation and operation, as well as while performing
maintenance and repair work on the equipment. The standards, regula-
tions, occupational safety requirements and environmental protection
laws valid in your country must be observed. It is important that all
personnel using the equipment understand this warning and safety
information, and have access to the relevant documents at all times.
Furthermore, the warning and safety information supplied with any
electrical equipment connected, such as peripheral devices, must be
observed as well. The warnings and safety precautions may have to be
supplemented by the equipment operator. All operating personnel must
be informed of any additions to these instructions. Make sure the
equipment is accessible at all times.
General Provisions for Installing IUS.., IUS..CE, IFS.. and IFS..CE Models
The IUS.., IUS..CE, IFS.. and IFS..CE models meet the requirements
defined in EC Directive 94/9/EC for Category III equipment and are
approved for use in Zone 2 and 22 hazardous areas in accordance with
the following manufacturer's declaration:
SAG.04.ATEX.002.
Furthermore, the IUS.., IUS..CE, IFS.. and IFS..CE models meet the EC
Directives for electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety.
– The area of use for the IUS.., IUS..CE, IFS.. and IFS..CE are defined in the
manufacturer's declaration. All restrictions listed in the manufacturer's
declaration must be strictly observed. Operating the IUS.., IUS..CE, IFS..
and IFS..CE models beyond the restrictions indicated is not permitted,
and is considered use of the equipment for other than its intended pur-
pose. Any installation work that does not conform to the instructions in
this manual will result in forfeiture of all claims under the manufactur-
er's warranty. When the equipment is operated in a Zone 2 or 22
hazardous area, the national laws and regulations applicable at the place
of use must be observed (e.g., EN60079-14 (gases); EN50281-1-2
(dusts). Ask your supplier for information on the legal regulations
applicable in your country.

– The seals affixed to the equipment by Sartorius indicate that the equip-
ment was in faultless condition when it left the factory. After performing
installation or maintenance, the service technician trained and autho-
rized by Sartorius will affix new seals to the equipment. Removing, dam-
aging or destroying any of these seals will result in forfeiture of all
claims under the manufacturer's warranty.
– Installation of the indicator must be performed by a certified electrician
who is familiar with the assembly, start-up and operation of the system
and the relevant guidelines and regulations, and has the required qualifi-
cations for performing the installation. If you need assistance, contact
your Sartorius dealer or the Sartorius Service Center.
– Avoid generating static electricity. The weighing platform is connected
to the indicator by the shield of the connecting cable. Connect an
equipotential bonding conductor. Disconnecting equipotential bonding
conductors is not permitted. The grounding conductor is connected to a
threaded bolt or terminal screw, or a bore hole (M6) is provided, marked
by a "ground" symbol. To use the bore hole provided, attach a stainless
steel screw to connect the grounding conductor. Use of a tooth lock
washer is recommended to prevent the screw from coming loose.
The wire used for the grounding conductor should have a cross-sectional
2
diameter of at least 4 mm
and have a suitable ring lug attached. Con-
nect all equipment, including peripheral devices, to the equipotential
bonding conductor.
– If the weighing platform is moved in a hazardous area, the speed of
movement must be limited to <1 m/s; alternatively, a separate ground-
ing conductor may be connected.
For the User
– Always make sure the equipment is disconnected from AC power before
performing any installation, cleaning, maintenance or repair work on the
scale.
– If you see any indication that the scale cannot be operated safely (for
example, due to damage), turn it off and lock it in a secure place or oth-
erwise prevent use of the equipment for the time being.
Note:
If the scale has been verified for use in legal metrology (legal for trade),
the seals affixed to the equipment indicate that only authorized service
technicians are allowed to open the scale and perform maintenance
work, so that safe and trouble-free operation of the equipment is
ensured and the warranty remains in effect. (IUS.., IUS..CE, IFS.. and
IFS..CE models can be verified only when connected to a display and
control unit/indicator, such as the Combics CIS3). If any of the verifica-
tion seals are damaged, make sure to observe the national regulations
and standards applicable in your country in such cases. In some
countries, the verification becomes null and void and the equipment
must be re-verified.
– Chemicals (e.g., gases, liquids or dusts) that can corrode and damage the
equipment or the cables on the inside or outside of the device, must be
kept away from the equipment. Handle the equipment and any acces-
sories in accordance with the IP rating (IP65 or higher) and EN 60529.
– The casing on all connecting cables, as well as the casing on wires inside
the equipment housing, is made of PVC. The casing of the power cable
is made of rubber.
– Do not expose the scale to aggressive chemical vapors or to extreme
temperatures, moisture, shocks, or vibration. The allowable operating
temperature range during operation is -20 to +40°C (-4 to +104°F) or,
for verified instruments, -10 to +40°C (+14 to +104°F). Make sure the
place of installation is adequately ventilated to prevent build-up of
excessive heat.
– If you use cables purchased from another manufacturer, check the pin
assignments in the cable against those specified by Sartorius before
connecting the cable to Sartorius equipment, and disconnect any wires
that are assigned differently. The operator shall be solely responsible for
any damage or injuries that occur when using cables not supplied by
Sartorius.
– Use only genuine Sartorius spare parts.
