Warning and Safety Information
Read these operating instructions
thoroughly efore using your alance/
scale to prevent damage to the equip-
ment. Keep these instructions in a safe
place.
Follow the instructions elow to ensure
safe and trou le-free operation of your
alance/scale:
!Make sure that the voltage rating
printed on the AC adapter is identical
to your local line voltage
!Use only a commercially availa le
9-volt attery or rechargea le attery
!Do not use this alance/scale in a haz-
ardous area/location
– The only way to turn the power off
completely is to disconnect the AC
adapter
– Connect only Sartorius accessories and
options, as these are optimally designed
for use with your alance/scale.
– Protect the AC adapter from contact
with liquid.
Do not open the alance/scale housing.
If the seal is roken, this will result in
forfeiture of all claims under the manu-
facturer’s warranty.

Installation Instructions
Your alance/scale is designed to
provide relia le weighing results under
normal am ient conditions. When
choosing a location to set up your al-
ance/scale, o serve the following so
that you will e a le to work with
added speed and accuracy:
– Set up the alance/scale on a sta le,
even surface
– Avoid placing the alance/scale in close
proximity to a heater or otherwise
exposing the alance/scale to heat or
direct sunlight
– Protect the alance/scale from drafts
that come from open windows or doors
– Avoid exposing the alance/scale to
extreme vi rations during weighing
– Protect the alance/scale from
aggressive chemical vapors
– Do not expose the alance/scale to
extreme moisture over long periods
Conditioning the Balance/Scale:
Moisture in the air can condense
on the surfaces of a cold alance/
scale whenever it is rought into a
su stantially warmer place. If you
transfer the alance/scale to a
warmer area, make sure to condition it
for a out 2 hours at room temperature,
leaving it unplugged from AC power.
Information

Connecting the Balance/Scale to AC Power/
Safety Precautions
Use only original Sartorius AC adapters:
– for Europe: 6971948 – for the RSA: 6971949
– for the U.S.: 6971947 – for Australia: 6971950
§Insert the right-angle plug into the jack
§The AC adapter rated to Class 2 can e plugged into
any wall outlet without requiring any
additional safety precautions
The ground is connected to the alance/scale
housing, which can e additionally grounded
for operation.
Using a Non-Rechargeable/Rechargeable Battery
(not for models BL210S, BL120S, BL60S, BL150S,
BL1500S, GC503, GC103, GM1502, GM2202,
GM1202)
$A non-rechargea le or rechargea le attery is not
included with the equipment supplied
!Use only a commercially availa le non-rechargea le
or rechargea le 9-volt attery
!When using a rechargea le attery, always use an
external charger to recharge the attery
§Lay the alance/scale on its side
§Open the attery compartment:
Lift the compartment cover
§Insert the 9-volt (rechargea le) attery in the
compartment
$Make sure to connect the positive and negative
poles correctly
!All used atteries are classified as waste
that requires special handling (not “household”
waste). Dispose of rechargea le atteries in accor-
dance with the applica le special waste disposal reg-
ulations.
§Close the attery compartment:
Press down on the cover until it clicks into place

Selecting the Line Voltage ( ains Voltage)
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 etween 230 V and 115 V
Leveling the Balance/Scale
(only for models BL210S, BL120S, BL60S, BL150S,
BL1500S, GC503, GC103, GM1502, GM2202,
GM1202)
Level the alance/scale any time you set it up in
a new location. Use only the 2 front feet of the
alance/scale for leveling.
§Turn the 2 rear feet until they are in position
(only on models BL1500S and GM1502, GM2202
and GM1202)
§Turn the 2 front feet as shown here in the illustra-
tion until the air u le 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 alance/scale.
●Secure the alance/scale at the place of installation,
for example with a chain or a lock

You can tare the alance/scale within the entire weighing range.
Preparation
§Turn on the alance/scale: Press e
§To change configurations: See the chapter entitled “Configuring the Balance/Scale”
§To load factory-set configurations: See “Configuring the Balance/Scale,” parameter 9 – 1
$To tare the alance/scale: Press t
Additional Functions
§To turn off the alance/scale: Press e
Example
Basic weighing
Menu code settings: Factory-set codes
Step Key (or instruction) Display/Printout
1. Turn on the alance/scale e
Self-test is performed
2. Place container on alance/ + 52.0 g
scale (here: 52 g)
3. Tare the alance/scale t+0.0 g
4. Place sample in container on + 150.2 g
alance/scale (here: 150.2 g)

Calibration/Adjustment*
Always cali rate/adjust the alance/scale after setting it up in a new location.
Available Features
Cali ration/adjustment can only e performed when
– there is no load on the alance/scale,
– the alance/scale is tared,
– the internal signal is sta le.
If these conditions are not met, an error message is displayed.
The weight required for cali ration/adjustment is displayed (see “Accessories” for
cali ration weights; for model GC503 see “Equipment Supplied”).
On Basiclite alances, cali ration/adjustment can e performed with any of three weight
units: g, kg**, or l (menu code 1. 4. x)
Factory setting: Grams (menu code 1. 4. 1)
Example
Cali rate the alance/scale
Menu code settings: Factory-set codes
Step Key (or instruction) Display/Printout
1. Turn on the alance/scale e
2. Tare the alance/scale t0.0 g
3. Begin cali ration t>2 sec. + 1000.0
Cali ration weight is displayed
without weight unit (here: 1000 g)
4. Place the indicated cali ration 1000.0
weight on the alance/scale
After cali ration, the cali ration + 1000.0 g
weight is displayed with wt. unit
5. Remove the cali ration weight 0.0 g
* = “Cali ration” technically means to determine the difference etween the alance/scale readout
and the actual weight on the pan to determine the accuracy.
Adjustment means to ring a alance/scale into the state of accuracy required for its use.
Therefore, “cali ration,” as used in this manual, actually means “adjustment.”
**= not on models with a reada ility of 0.1 mg

– The reference sample quantity can e changed
in the operating menu:
See “Configuring the Balance/Scale”
– The average piece weight is automatically
output via the optional data interface port after ini-
tialization, if the menu code for “Printout
with data ID codes” is set
– Press vto toggle the display etween piece count
and weight
Factory Settings
Reference sample quantity: 10 (menu code 3. 3. 2)
