Connecting the Weighing Platform
Before initially operating the scale, connect the following cables and
completely assemble the components listed below:
− interface cable to a Sartorius isi industrial terminal or a computer with
special software
− separate power cable for power supply via a Sartorius AC adapter
− components for conveyor systems
Make absolutely sure to unplug the weighing platform from the power supply
before you connect or disconnect any interface cables.
Please note that the person or company who connects any non-Sartorius-
approved indicating and control devices (e.g., a computer) or power supplies
to the weighing platform shall assume all risks and responsibilities associated
with this equipment.
Plug the connecting cable into the connector of a Sartorius isi industrial
terminal. Afterwards, hand-tighten the locking ring. The connecting cable is 6
meters long (approx. 20 feet). To order an extension cable or to customize a
cable to your requirements, refer to the list of accessories or contact Sartorius.
Cable Lengths:
Since you can choose to power the weighing platform via the interface port of
the Sartorius isi industrial terminal or a separate power supply unit, there are a
few restrictions that apply to the cable lengths between these components.
If you use a cable that is longer than 12 meters (∼ 40 feet) between the weighing
platform and the Sartorius isi industrial terminal, each of these components must
be energized by a separate AC adapter.
Note on use in a Zone 11 hazardous area:
The industrial terminal must be mounted securely on a vertical surface so that
the connecting jacks face downwards.
Separate Power Connection for the Weighing Platform
Have your local Sartorius dealer or service technician connect the weighing
platform separately to line current (mains supply). This separate power
connection is required when you use cables that are longer than 12 meters or
if you interface the weighing platform directly with a computer.
