Care and Maintenance

Service
Regular servicing by a Sartorius technician will extend the service
life of your EC1XS.-......-L scale or weighing system and help
to 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.
Repairs
!
Disconnect defective equipment from power immediately.
Repair work must be performed by authorized Sartorius service
technicians using genuine Sartorius spare parts. Any attempt
by untrained persons to perform repairs may result in consider-
able hazards for the user.
!
If a cable or cable gland is damaged or defective, replace the
cable as a complete unit with all its connectors.
Cleaning
!
Always handle the equipment in keeping with its IP rating.
Make sure that no liquid penetrates the equipment housing.
$ Unplug the system from power before cleaning or performing
any maintenance or repair work. Remove dirt and deposits
from the EC1XS.-......-L regularly.
$ Wipe the equipment with a damp cloth only. Avoid generating
static electricity. Devices rated to IP65 can be rinsed down with
a jet of water that strikes the load plate from above.
!
When using high-pressure cleaning equipment, aim the steam
jet only at the load plate. Do not aim the jet under the scale or
at the display and control unit.
> If the water that you use to clean the equipment is too hot
or too cold, the difference in temperature between the water
and the equipment can cause condensation inside the equip-
ment housing. This condensation may cause the equipment
to malfunction.
Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces
Clean all stainless steel parts regularly. Use a damp cloth
or sponge to clean stainless steel parts on the system.
You can use any commercially available household cleaning
agent that is suitable for use on stainless steel. Clean stainless
steel surfaces only by wiping them down. Then rinse the equip-
ment thoroughly, making sure to remove all residues. After-
wards, wipe down stainless steel parts again using a clean, damp
cloth or sponge and allow the equipment 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 only for cleaning stainless
steel parts.
Corrosive Environment
$ Remove all traces of corrosive substances on a regular basis.
Safety Inspection
If there is any indication that safe operation of the
EC1XS.-......-L is no longer warranted; e.g.:
– if there is visible damage to the connecting cable,
– if the equipment no longer functions properly,
– if the equipment has been stored for a relatively
long period under unfavorable conditions, or
– if the equipment has been subjected to rough handling during
shipment,
§ make sure all warnings and safety precautions are observed, and
notify your nearest Sartorius Service Center or the International
Technical Support Unit based in Goettingen, Germany.
Maintenance and repair work may be performed only by service
technicians who are authorized by Sartorius, have access to
the required maintenance and repair manuals and have attended
the relevant service training courses.
Storage and Shipping Conditions
$ The packaging used for shipping your Sartorius equipment
is optimally designed to prevent damage during transport.
It is a good idea to save the box and all parts of the packaging
for future storage or shipment of the equipment. Only the
original packaging provides the best protection for shipment.
$ Allowable storage temperature: – 20°C to + 75°C
(–4°F to +167°F)
$ Allowable humidity during storage: max. 90%
$ Please refer to the information under "Warnings and Safety
Precautions."
Instructions for Recycling the Packaging
If you no longer need the packaging after suc-
cessful installation of the equipment, you should
return it for recycling. The packaging is made
from environmentally friendly materials and is a
valuable source of secondary raw material. Bat-
teries are hazardous waste and must be disposed
of separately. Please deposit empty batteries in
the collection boxes set up in your area for this
purpose. On request, Sartorius can provide GRS boxes for col-
lecting used batteries (GRS stands for "Gemeinsames Rücknahme
System," a German organization for battery disposal*). Contact
your local waste disposal authorities if you wish to scrap the
equipment. Remove batteries before scrapping the equipment.
Sartorius AG in Goettingen will take back equipment and pack-
aging for disposal in accordance with the applicable laws.*
* These services are offered only within Germany.
If you set up the equipment in a country other than Germany,
please contact your local waste disposal authorities for
information on similar services.
