  Warning and Safety Information
Intended Use
Combics explosion-protected instru-
ments equipped with Option Y2 meet 
the requirements for Category 3 
equipment in accordance with Council 
Directive 94/9/EC and are rated for  
use in Zone 2 and 22 hazardous areas.
Please refer to the Annex to the 
Statement of Conformity for the 
equipment designation.
The permissible temperature range 
 during operation is –20°C to +40°C 
(–4°F to +104°F).
The additional equipment required  
was installed by Sartorius during the 
production process.
  The weighing instrument meets the EC 
Directives and standards governing:
  – electrical apparatus 
– explosion protection 
– electromagnetic compatibility 
– electrical safety
  Improper use or handling, however, can 
result in damage and/or injury.
–  Do not expose the equipment to aggressive 
chemical vapors or to extreme tempera-
tures, moisture, shocks, or vibration.
  The equipment is rated for use in Zone 2 
and 22 hazardous areas.  Please make sure 
the currently valid regulations and guide-
lines for installing equipment in the areas 
listed above are strictly observed.
–  When using the equipment in hazard-
ous areas, make sure there is no current 
or voltage in the equipment before con-
necting or disconnecting current-carrying 
cables to or from the device.  Disconnect 
the scale from AC power before connecting 
or disconnecting cables.
–  Refer to the enclosed “Installation 
Instructions“ before installing the equip-
ment: Drawing 65954-751-16-A4
–  Installation in a Zone 2 or 22 hazardous 
area must be performed by a trained 
technician. The power connection must be 
made in accordance with the regulations 
applicable in your country.  
If you need assistance, contact your 
Sartorius dealer or the Sartorius Service 
Center. Any installation work that does 
not conform to the instructions in this 
manual will result in forfeiture of all claims 
under the manufacturer‘s warranty.
–  Make sure all metal parts are grounded to 
prevent buildup of static electricity.
–  Have the equipment inspected at appropri-
ate intervals for correct functioning and 
safety by a trained technician.
–  If you see any indication that the equip-
ment cannot be operated safely (for 
example, due to damage), disconnect the 
device from power and lock the equipment 
in a secure place so that it cannot be used 
for the time being.  Make sure the appli-
cable accident prevention regulations are 
observed by all operating personnel.
–  Always make sure the equipment is discon-
nected from AC power before performing 
any installation, cleaning, maintenance or 
repair work.
–  Handle the equipment with care in accord-
ance with its IP protection rating.  Make 
sure the IP protection is not damaged 
when cleaning the equipment.
–  If you use cables purchased from another 
manufacturer, check the pin assignments 
in the cable against those specified by 
  Sartorius before connecting the cable to 
Sartorius equipment, and disconnect any 
wires that are assigned differently. The 
operator shall be solely responsible for any 
damage or injuries that occur when using 
cables not supplied by Sartorius.
  Conditions for Installation:
  Before putting the equipment into opera-
tion, it is important to make sure that the 
power cord is correctly connected to the 
power outlet (mains supply).  All equip-
ment must be connected to the equipoten-
tial bonding conductor by connecting the 
grounding cable (not included in delivery) 
to the grounding terminals or bore holes 
provided for this purpose on each device.
  The dimensions of the grounding cable  
are specified in national regulations for 
electrical installations.  Installation must 
be performed by a trained technician in 
accordance with national regulations and 
acknowledged technological standards.
  Use only cabling and extensions approved 
by Sartorius, as these are made in accord-
ance with the restrictions on permissible 
cable lengths imposed by both the  
capacitance and inductivity values and 
the requirements for electromagnetic  
compatibility.
  Before putting the weighing system into 
operation for the first time, make sure 
there is no hazard of explosion present 
at the place of installation. If there is any 
indication that the equipment does not 
function properly (e.g., display remains 
blank) due to damage during transport, 
disconnect the equipment from power 
and notify your nearest Sartorius Service 
Center.
  Before connecting or disconnecting data 
cables or control lines to or from the 
device, make sure all equipment is discon-
nected from power. If the equipment 
housing is opened by anyone other than 
persons authorized by Sartorius, this will 
negate its conformity with regulations 
governing use in the  stated Zone 2 and  
22 hazardous areas and result in forfeiture 
of all claims under the manufacturer‘s  
warranty.
  If you use the equipment in a hazardous 
area outside Germany, you must comply 
with the national electrical code and appli-
cable safety regulations of your 
country. Ask your local Sartorius office 
or dealer for information on the legal 
regulations applicable in your country.
