Installation Instructions
Unpacking the Equipment
§ Please read the enclosed operating instruc-
tions carefully before putting the equipment
into operation.
§ After unpacking the equipment, please check
it immediately for any visible damage.
$ If you detect any damage, proceed as direct-
ed under "Safety Inspection" in the chapter
entitled "Care and Maintenance."
$ It is a good idea to save the box and all parts
of the packaging until you have successfully
installed your equipment. Only the original
packaging provides the best protection for
shipment.
$ Before packing your equipment for ship-
ment, unplug all connected cables to prevent
damage.
Equipment Supplied
– IUS.. or IFS.. weighing platform
– Installation and operating instructions
(incl. manufacturer's declaration)
– Installation Instructions and Safety Informa-
tion
Requirements for the Place of Installation
§ Observe all safety instructions.
The IUS.. or IFS.... scale is designed to pro-
vide reliable results under normal ambient
conditions. When choosing a location to set
up the IUS.. or IFS.., observe the following so
that you will be able to work with added
speed and accuracy:
– Set up the IUS../IFS.. on a stable, even sur-
face. The work surface must be able to carry
a load that includes both the weighing plat-
form and any load on the platform. Level the
scale using the built-in level indicator.
– Avoid placing the equipment in close prox-
imity to a heater or otherwise exposing it to
heat or direct sunlight.
– Protect the IUS../IFS.. from direct
exposure to drafts that come from open
windows or doors.
– Avoid exposing the IUS../IFS.. to excessive
vibration.
– Protect the IUS../ IFS.. from aggressive
chemical vapors.
– Do not expose the equipment to excessive
moisture over long periods.
Turn off the power when the system is not in
use.
– The allowable operating temperature range is
-20°C to +40°C (-4 °F to +104°F) or, for
verified instruments, -10°C to +40°C (+14°F
to +104°F.
– If there is any indication that the equipment
does not function properly (e.g., display
remains blank, or no display backlighting)
due to damage during transport, disconnect
the equipment from power and notify your
nearest Sartorius Service Center; see also
"Safety Inspection" in the chapter entitled
"Care and Maintenance."
Shock Resistance
Even though the IUS.. and IFS.. scales fea-
ture highly rugged construction, there are
some limits. Avoid exposing the system to
falling objects, side impact, or shocks.
Notes on Integration into Conveyor
Systems
Any moving or rotating parts intended to be
permanently attached to the IUS../IFS.. scale
must be designed so that they cannot affect
the weighing results. For example, rotating
mechanisms must be properly balanced.
The IUS.. or IFS.. must be clear on all sides
during weighing so that any dirt or parts
that fall will not create a connection
between the weighing platform and any per-
manently mounted preload components.
Make sure there are no cables or other
objects exerting force on the load plate.
Avoid generating static electricity.
Using the IUS..CE or IFS..CE in Legal
Metrology in the EU*
The type-approval certificate for verification
applies only to non-automatic weighing
instruments. For automatic operation with or
without auxiliary measuring devices or
equipment, you must comply with the regu-
lations applicable to the place of installation.
Conditioning the Weighing System
Moisture in the air can condense on the sur-
face of a cold weighing instrument or other
device whenever it is moved to a substantial-
ly warmer place. If you transfer the equip-
ment to a warmer area, make sure to condi-
tion it for about 2 hours at room
temperature, leaving it unplugged from AC
power. Afterwards, if you keep the equip-
ment connected to AC power, the constant
positive difference in temperature between
the inside of the equipment and the outside
will practically rule out the effects of mois-
ture condensation.

Installation
Note:
Connecting the weighing platform to an
indicator, installing, configuring, and putting
the scale into operation must be performed
by a trained dealer or Sartorius service repre-
sentative. Details on additional settings are
contained in the Sartorius service manual.
– Unplug the power cord from the wall socket
(mains) before performing any work on the
equipment.
– The special tools indicated must be used
when performing installation.
– Installation work that affects the IP65 or
IP68 protection rating must be performed
with extreme care.
– Any installation work that does not conform
to the instructions in this manual will result
in forfeiture of all claims under the manu-
facturer's warranty.
– When installing the equipment in a weighing
system, the EU Directive on Machinery
(98/37/EC) must be observed.
– Level the scale as follows:
At the place of installation, level the weigh-
ing platform by adjusting the load-bearing
feet so that the air bubble is centered within
the circle on the built-in level indicator.
Check to ensure that all four feet rest secure-
ly on the work surface.
Note:
Make sure there is a faultless connection
between the indicator and the platform
(resistance: <1 ohm). The shield must be
connected to the cable gland on the indicator
and to the cable gland on the junction box.
IP68 Rating (Stainless Steel Models)
The IUS.. and IFS.. weighing platforms have
the IP68 protection rating; the levels of
protection indicated by these ratings are as
follows:
First digit: rating 6 indicates that the equip-
ment is dust-tight; i.e., completely resistant
to penetration by grains of dust. Second
digit: rating 8 indicates resistance to ingress
of water during complete, continuous sub-
mersion in water to a depth of up to 10
meters (approx. 32 feet).
IP68 protection is guaranteed only if:
– the seals on the junction box are installed
correctly in accordance with industry stan-
dards, and
– the connecting cables, protective caps and
cable glands were installed and connected by
a qualified technician.
Affixing Equipment Designation Labels to
the IUS..CE/IFS..CE
Equipment designation labels that
correspond to configuration of the scale
must be affixed to the equipment prior to
initial verification. To do this, affix the labels
to the indicator or, in special cases, to the
plates provided. If plates are required, they
are included in the equipment supplied with
the indicator. Fasten the plate to the con-
necting cable between the IUS..CE/IFS..CE
and the indicator.
Connecting the Equipment to AC Power
The scale is powered over the connecting
cable from the indicator.
