Warning and Safety Information
Improper use or handling can result in
property damage and/or personal injury.
To prevent damage to the equipment,
read these operating instructions
thoroughly before using your scale.
Keep these instructions in a safe place.
The manufacturer shall not be held
liable for damage caused by failure to
observe this warning and safety
information or the instructions.
When you use electrical equipment in
installations and under ambient
conditions requiring higher safety
standards, you must comply with the
provisions specified in the applicable
regulations for installation in your
country.
Follow the instructions below to ensure
safe and trouble-free operation of your
scale:
! Make sure that the voltage rating print-
ed on the power supply is identical to
your local AC power rating.
– The only way to turn the scale power
off completely is to disconnect the
power supply from the wall outlet
(mains supply).
! Handle the equipment with care as
required by the IP protection ratings.
The environment in which they are used
must also be protected.
! Protect the power supply as required by
the IP65 standard (dust-tight and
washdown-resistant).
! The housing of the YPS02-X... power
supply is made of AlMgSi and should be
handled accordingly.
! Cabling: The casing on the power cable
is made of
– rubber (on models YPS02-Z..., -XDR,
-XKR, -XAS)
– PVC (on model YPS02-XGR)
All other cables connecting the
weighing equipment and peripheral
devices, as well as the wiring inside the
devices, are cased in PVC materials.
Chemicals that corrode these materials
must be kept away from these cables.
! Use only cabling and extensions
approved by Sartorius, as these are
made in accordance with the restric-
tions on cable lengths imposed by the
capacitance and inductance (see the
attached certificate of conformity) and
the requirements for electromagnetic
compatibility.
! Factory Series equipment may only be
operated in an ambient temperature
range between 0°C and +40°C (+32°F
to +104°F). Make sure there is suffi-
cient ventilation to prevent heat from
building up in the equipment.
! The equipment must be used indoors
only.
! Clean the equipment in accordance
with the instructions (see the section
entitled “Care and Maintenance”).
! Avoid build-up of static electricity
on the dust cover and in glass parts
(see the section entitled “Care and
Maintenance”).
! Have the equipment inspected at
appropriate intervals for correct func-
tioning and safety by a trained techni-
cian (for instance, inspection of the
cables for damage).
! When cleaning your scale, make sure
that no liquid enters the scale housing;
use only a slightly moistened cloth for
cleaning the scale.
! Using the scale in a network:
No more than 8 scales may be connect-
ed, using a YDI01-Z Zener barrier, to
the RS-485 interface port.
! Make sure all operating personnel are
trained to recognize malfunctions and
to take the appropriate corrective or
preventive measures (such as discon-
necting the equipment from power).
! The equipment meets the requirements
for electromagnetic compatibility. Avoid
interference stronger than that allowed
for in the relevant standards (see also
the section entitled “Overview;
Declaration of Conformity” in the oper-
ating instructions).
Do not open the scale housing.
If the seal is broken, the manufacturer’s
warranty becomes null and void.
! If you use the scale in a hazardous area
or location outside Germany, you must
comply with the national electrical code
and applicable safety regulations of
your country. Ask your local Sartorius
office or dealer for information on the
legal regulations applicable in your
country.
! Caution: Be sure all equipment and
fasteners are grounded before you
operate FM-approved scales in a
hazardous environment with
flammable/combustible products.
Warning:
! Any tampering with this scale by any-
one other than authorized persons will
result in forfeiture of the approval for
use in the stated hazardous area/loca-
tion and of all claims under the manu-
facturer’s warranty.
If you have any trouble with your scale:
