The IP protection rating of the scale and the
ex-link converter YCO16-Z is IP40 according
to EN 60529. The devices must be handled
carefully according to the IP protection rating.
The environment must be suitably secured.
Ex Zone 1 (Category 2 Equipment)
− In accordance with Directive 94/9/EC, the
a category 2 device, suitable for use in Zone 1 potentially
explosive areas.
EC Type Examination Certificates: FM15ATEX0032X
ID: II 2G Ex ib IIB T4 Gb
− The ex-link converter is only suitable for installation as an
electrical apparatus with the following ID code outside of
the potentially explosive area:
II (2)G [Ex ib Gb]IIB as per EC Type Examination Certificate
No. FM15ATEX0034X
It may only be connected to supply voltages of 90 V to
264 V at a frequency of 48–62 Hz.
If the device is used in Zone 1 potentially
explosive areas outside the Federal Republic of
Germany, the relevant national electrical codes
and safety regulations must be observed. Ask
your dealer or Sartorius Service Center about
the guidelines that apply in their country.
2.2 Installation Information
Do not operate the scale if its housing, the
ex-link converter, or the AC adapter including
all connections are damaged. Immediately
disconnect the damaged device from the power.
Do not expose the scale, the ex-link converter,
or its AC adapter or the accessories supplied by
Sartorius to extreme temperatures, aggressive
chemical vapors, moisture, shocks, vibrations
or strong electromagnetic fields. Observe the
conditions of operation described in the
Specifications.
The connection cables between the devices
as well as the casing on the wires inside the
equipment housing are made of PVC. Chemicals
that corrode this material must be kept away
from these cables.
The operator shall be solely responsible for
any modifications to the equipment and for
connecting any cables or equipment not
supplied by Sartorius! Information on
operational quality is available upon
request from Sartorius.
Only use original Sartorius accessories!
Note the IP protection rating of the scale, the
ex-link converter, and its AC adapter. Do not
allow liquid penetration. The protection class
specifies the suitability of equipment for various
environmental conditions (moisture, foreign
bodies).

Warnings Concerning Installation and Operation:
Before cleaning the AC adapter, ex-link
converter, or the scale:
Disconnect all devices from the power supply.
The scale and ex-link converter should only be
opened by personnel trained by Sartorius with
the power disconnected. Do not open the
AC adapter.
Avoid generating static electricity on the glass
panel of the touch screen and plastic casing.
The equipotential bonding conductor of the
devices must be connected properly, according
to commonly accepted technical standards.
Only clean the device as stipulated in the
cleaning instructions.
Take care that the glass panel of the touch
screen is not damaged (e.g. by falling objects,
impact, or extreme pressure).
If the glass panel is damaged, disconnect the
device from the power supply immediately.
The surface of the touch screen should not be
touched with pointed, sharp, hard, or rough
objects. You should only use the touch pen
provided or your fingertips. Do not use parts of
clothing (e.g., sleeves) or sponges for cleaning
because these can scratch the surface (e.g., due
to rivets, buttons on the sleeve, or sand in the
sponge).
The device must be protected from unnecessarily
extreme temperatures, aggressive chemical
vapors, moisture, shocks, and vibrations. Note
the connection data (see EC Type Examination
Certificates for the device and | or the safety
instructions, drawing no. 2023040).
The equipment must only be used indoors.
Avoid generating static electricity on glass and
plastic parts. Connect the scale and the ex-link
converter (YCO16-Z) to the equipotential
bonding conductor using a suitable low
resistance method. All electrical circuits are
grounded and electrically connected to the
metal parts of the device.
− The system must be checked for correct
function and safety by correspondingly
trained and qualified personnel at
appropriate intervals (e.g. checking the
cable for damage).
− Operating personnel must be trained to
recognize faulty operating states and to be
able to initiate the necessary safety measures
(e.g., disconnecting the ex-link converter
from the power supply).
