Warnings and Safety Precautions
Safety Information
§ Please read these operating instructions
carefully before using your indicator.
The manufacturer accepts no liability
for damage occurring as a result of
failure to observe the warnings and
safety information in this manual.
The explosion-protected model CIXS3
indicator meets the requirements for
Group II, Category 1 (dusts) and Cate-
gory 2 (gases) equipment in accordance
with EC Directive 94/9/EEC and bears
the designation hII 2 G 1 D EEx ib IIC
T4 T135°C in accordance with KEMA
EC type-examination certificate
03ATEX1157X. Furthermore, this
weighing system meets the EC Direc-
tives for electromagnetic compatibility
(see the Declaration of Conformity in
the enclosed installation instructions).
Improper use or handling, however, can
result in damage and/or injury. The
indicator may be used and operated by
qualified personnel only.
!
In Germany, the intrinsically safe
indicator can be used in Zone 1 and 2
hazardous areas (gases) and Zone 20,
21 and 22 hazardous areas (dusts).
Whether the equipment can be used in
a given area containing potentially
explosive agents must be checked on
a case-by-case basis. Installation in a
Zone 1, 2, 20, 21 or 22 hazardous area
must be performed by a trained techni-
cian in accordance with the laws, guide-
lines and standards valid in your coun-
try. Always comply with the applicable
regulations for accident prevention. The
trained technician must be familiar with
the assembly, start-up and operation of
the system, and must furthermore have
the required qualifications and be famil-
iar with the relevant guidelines and reg-
ulations in effect in your country. If you
need assistance, contact your Sartorius
dealer or the Sartorius Service Center.
!
Operating the indicator beyond the
specifications listed in the type-
approval certificates is not permitted,
and is considered use of the equipment
for other than its intended purpose. All
specifications and restrictions listed in
the type-examination certificates must
be strictly observed (see "Documents for
Hazardous Areas" in the operating
instructions).
Any installation work that does not
conform to the instructions in this man-
ual will result in forfeiture of all claims
under the manufacturer's warranty.
– Have the equipment inspected at appro-
priate intervals for correct functioning
and safety by a trained technician.
– Always make sure the CIXS3 is discon-
nected from AC power before performing
any installation, cleaning, maintenance
or repair work. If the equipment hous-
ing is opened by anyone other than per-
sons authorized by Sartorius, this will
result in forfeiture of all claims under
the manufacturer's warranty. Use only
original Sartorius spare parts.
– Do not expose the equipment to
aggressive chemical vapors or to
extreme temperatures, moisture, shocks,
or vibration. The allowable temperature
range during operation is -10°C to
+40°C (14°F to 104°F).
– If you use cables purchased from anoth-
er manufacturer, check the pin assign-
ments in the cable against those speci-
fied by Sartorius before connecting the
cable to Sartorius equipment, and dis-
connect any wires that are assigned dif-
ferently. The operator shall be wholly
responsible for any damage or injuries
that occur when using cables not sup-
plied by Sartorius.
– When using the equipment in hazardous
areas, make sure there is no current or
voltage in the equipment before con-
necting or disconnecting current-carry-
ing cables to or from the device.
Disconnect the weighing equipment
from AC power before connecting or
disconnecting cables.
– Avoid exposing the equipment (espe-
cially the dust cover) to static electricity;
be sure to connect the equipotential
bonding conductor.
– Disconnecting equipotential bonding
conductors is not permitted.
– If you see any indication that the equip-
ment cannot be operated safely, discon-
nect the system from power and lock
the equipment in a secure place so that
it cannot be used for the time being.
Observe the relevant safety precautions
and inform personnel as required.
!Make sure you disconnect the power
supply from the mains (wall outlet)
before connecting or disconnecting
peripheral devices to or from the
indicator.
– The casing on all connecting cables,
as well as the casing on wires inside the
equipment housing, is made of PVC.
Chemicals that corrode these materials
must be kept away from these cables.
– When connecting the CIXS3 to other
equipment, make sure to observe the
specifications listed in the type-approval
certificates. For more information,
see the "Certificate of Proof of Intrinsic
Safety" in the appendix to the operating
instructions.
Installation
– Proceed with extreme caution when
using pre-wired RS-232 connecting
cables, as the pin assignments may not
be compatible with Sartorius equip-
ment. Before connecting the cable,
check all pin assignments against the
cabling diagrams and disconnect any
lines that are assigned differently.
!
Use only standard cables that have
protective grounding conductors.
The protective conductor must not be
disconnected for any reason.
!
If there is visible damage to the equip-
ment or power cord, disconnect the
equipment from power and lock it in
a secure place to ensure that it cannot
be used for the time being.
– Connect only Sartorius accessories and
options, as these are optimally designed
for use with your indicator. On request,
Sartorius will be happy to provide
information on operating specifications
(in accordance with the Standards for
defined immunity to interference).
$ If you have any problems with your
indicator, please contact your local
Sartorius office, dealer or service center.
IP Rating:
– The IP65/IP67 protection rating for the
indicator is ensured only if the rubber
gasket is installed and all connections
are fastened securely (including the caps
on unused sockets). Weighing platforms
must be installed and tested by a certi-
fied technician.
– If you install an interface port after set-
ting up your indicator, keep the protec-
tive cap in a safe place to be used for
protecting the interface port when not
in use or prior to shipment. The cap
protects the data interface connector
from vapors, moisture and dust or dirt.
Using the Equipment
in Legal Metrology in the EU*
– When the indicator is connected to a
weighing platform and the resulting
weighing instrument is to be verified,
make sure to observe the applicable
regulations regarding verification.
Please read the brochure entitled "Guide
to Verification" on the CD enclosed with
the operating instructions and observe
all guidelines contained therein. When
connecting a Sartorius weighing plat-
form, make sure to observe the permit-
ted weighing range as listed in the
Declaration of Conformity.
– If any of the verification seals are dam-
aged, make sure to observe the national
regulations and standards applicable in
your country in such cases. In some coun-
tries, the equipment must be re-verified.
