29 Accessories (Options) the pin assignment against the chart
31 C Marking on page 19 before connecting the cable,
and disconnect any lines that do not match.

– Connect only Sartorius accessories and

options, as these are optimally designed for
use with your Sartorius balance/scale.
Do not try to solve any problems on your own.
The operator shall be responsible for any mod-
ifications to Sartorius equipment and for any
connections of cables or equipment not sup-
plied by Sartorius and must check and, if nec-
essary, correct these modifications and con-
nections. On request, Sartorius will provide
information on the minimum operating speci-
fications (in accordance with the standards
for defined immunity to interference).
– Do not open the balance/scale housing.

Safety Precautions
Use only original Sartorius AC adapters:

– for Europe: 6971948

● Insert the right-angle plug into the jack

● Plug AC adapter into electrical outlet

The ground terminal is connected to the balance/scale

housing, which can be additionally grounded for
operation.

Using a Non-Rechargeable/Rechargeable Battery

(not for models TE214S, TE124S, TE64, GD603,
GD103, GD252, TE313S, TE153S, TE3102S, GE2102,

$ A non-rechargeable or rechargeable battery is not

included with the equipment supplied

! Use only a commercially available non-rechargeable

(8+ AA/Mignon) or rechargeable battery

! When using a rechargeable battery, always use an

external charger to recharge the battery

● Lay the balance/scale on its side

● Lift the compartment cover

● Insert the non-rechargeable (8+ AA/Mignon)

or rechargeable batteries into the compartment

$ Make sure to connect the positive and negative poles

correctly

● Close the battery compartment: Press down on

the cover until it clicks into place

! All used batteries are classified as waste that requires

special handling (not “household” waste). Dispose
of rechargeable batteries in accordance with the
applicable special waste disposal regulations

 Selecting the Line Voltage (Mains Voltage)
(Optional)
Use the following original AC adapters for selecting
the line voltage:

– AC adapter TNG8 order no. 6971951 (universal)

or
– AC adapter TNG8 order no. 6971952 (for the U.K.)

● Use the switch to toggle between 230 V and 115 V

Leveling the Balance/Scale

(only for models GD…, GE2102, GE1302, TE…-L,
TE214S, TE124S, TE64, TE313S, TE153S, TE3102S,
TE1502S)

Level the balance/scale any time you set it up in

a new location. Use only the 2 front feet of the
balance/scale for leveling.

● Turn the 2 rear feet until they are in position (only

on models GE2102, GE1302, TE3102, TE1502)

● Turn the 2 front feet as shown here in the illustration

until the air bubble is centered in the level indicator

> In most cases, this will require several adjustment steps

Anti-theft Locking Device

To protect against theft, use the mounting lug on
the rear panel of the balance/scale.

● Secure the balance/scale at the place of installation,

for example with a chain or a lock

Error codes are shown on the main display for 2 seconds. The program then returns
automatically to the previous mode (e.g., weighing).

 Care and Maintenance

Service
Regular servicing by a Sartorius technician will extend
the service life of your balance/scale and ensure its
continued weighing accuracy. Sartorius can offer you
service contracts, with your choice of regular mainte-
nance intervals ranging from 1 month to 2 years. The
optimum maintenance interval depends on the operat-
ing conditions at the place of installation and on the
individual tolerance requirements.

Repairs
Repair work must be performed by trained service
technicians. Any attempt by untrained persons to per-
form repairs may lead to hazards for the user.

Cleaning
● Unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet (mains
supply). If you have an interface cable connected to
the balance/scale port, unplug it from the port,
● Clean the balance/scale using a piece of cloth which
has been wet with a mild detergent (soap)
● After cleaning, wipe down the balance/scale with
a soft, dry cloth.
Removing and Cleaning the Weighing Pan:
● Lift up and remove the weighing pan together with
the pan support by gripping them from under the
shield ring. Make sure that you do not damage the
weighing system in doing so.
!Make sure that no liquid enters the balance/scale
housing.
!Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents (solvents or
similar agents).

Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces

Clean all stainless steel parts regularly. Remove the
stainless steel weighing pan and thoroughly clean it
separately. Use a damp cloth or sponge to clean any
stainless steel parts on the balance/scale. Only use
commercially available household cleaning agent that
is suitable for use on stainless steel. Clean stainless
steel surfaces by wiping them down. Then rinse thor-
oughly, making sure to remove all residues. Afterwards,
allow the balance/scale to dry. If desired, you can apply
oil to the cleaned surfaces as additional protection.
Solvents are permitted for use only on stainless steel
parts.
21
 Safety Inspection
If there is any indication that safe operation of the
balance/scale with the AC adapter is no longer
warranted:

● Turn off the power and disconnect the equipment

from AC power immediately

> Lock the equipment in a secure place to ensure that

it cannot be used for the time being

In this case, notify your nearest Sartorius Service

Center or the International Technical Support Unit
based in Goettingen, Germany.
Maintenance and repair work may only be
performed by service technicians who are authorized
by Sartorius.

Instructions for Recycling

To ensure adequate protection for safe shipment,
your balance/scale has been packaged to the extent
necessary using environmentally friendly materials.
After successful installation of the balance/scale,
you should return this packaging for recycling
because it is a valuable source of secondary raw
material. For information on recycling options,
including recycling of old weighing equipment,
contact your municipal waste disposal center
or local recycling depot.
