Care and Maintenance

Service
To ensure the continued accuracy of your balance, we
recommend scheduling regular servicing at least once a year.
Sartorius Service offers different service contracts with
maintenance intervals that are tailored to your needs.
A calibration certificate should be issued as part of every
maintenance session.
Safety inspections of the AC adaptor and its connections
must be performed at appropriate intervals by a qualified
electrician (e.g. every 2 years).

Repairs
Repair work must only be carried out by trained service
technicians. Repairs performed by untrained persons
will invalidate the warranty, and may result in consider-
able hazards for the user and cause the balance to
produce inaccurate results. Contact Sartorius Service or
a Sartorius dealer for proper repair of your balance.
The device must be unplugged during repair work.
Unplug the power cord. Repair work must only be
performed by Sartorius-trained service technicians.
