– for the U.S.: 6971947 – for Australia: 6971950
§ Insert the right-angle plug into the jack

§ The AC adapter rated to Class 2 can be plugged into
any wall outlet without requiring any
additional safety precautions
The ground is connected to the balance/scale

housing, which can be 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-rechargeable or rechargeable battery is not

included with the equipment supplied
!Use only a commercially available non-rechargeable
or rechargeable 9-volt battery
!When using a rechargeable battery, always use an
external charger to recharge the battery
§ Lay the balance/scale on its side
§ Open the battery compartment:
Lift the compartment cover
§ Insert the 9-volt (rechargeable) battery in the

compartment
$ Make sure to connect the positive and negative
poles correctly
!All used batteries are classified as waste
that requires special handling (not “household”
waste). Dispose of rechargeable batteries in accor-
dance with the applicable special waste disposal reg-
ulations.
§ Close the battery compartment:
Press down on the cover until it clicks into place
6
Selecting the Line Voltage (Mains 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 between 230 V and 115 V
Leveling the Balance/Scale

(only for models BL210S, BL120S, BL60S, BL150S,
BL1500S, GC503, GC103, GM1502, GM2202,
GM1202)
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 BL1500S and GM1502, GM2202
and GM1202)
§ Turn the 2 front feet as shown here in the illustra-

tion 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

Operating the Balance/Scale
Basic Weighing Function

Available Features
– Taring the balance/scale
You can tare the balance/scale within the entire weighing range.
Preparation
§ Turn on the balance/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 balance/scale: Press t
Additional Functions
§ To turn off the balance/scale: Press e

3. Tare the balance/scale t + 0.0 g
4. Place sample in container on + 150.2 g

balance/scale (here: 150.2 g)

Calibration/Adjustment*
Always calibrate/adjust the balance/scale after setting it up in a new location.
Available Features
Calibration/adjustment can only be performed when
– there is no load on the balance/scale,
– the balance/scale is tared,
– the internal signal is stable.
If these conditions are not met, an error message is displayed.
The weight required for calibration/adjustment is displayed (see “Accessories” for
calibration weights; for model GC503 see “Equipment Supplied”).
On Basic lite balances, calibration/adjustment can be performed with any of three weight
units: g, kg**, or lb (menu code 1. 4. x)
Factory setting: Grams (menu code 1. 4. 1)
Example
Calibrate the balance/scale
Menu code settings: Factory-set codes
2. Tare the balance/scale t 0.0 g
3. Begin calibration t >2 sec. + 1000.0

Calibration weight is displayed
without weight unit (here: 1000 g)
4. Place the indicated calibration 1000.0

weight on the balance/scale
After calibration, the calibration + 1000.0 g

weight is displayed with wt. unit
5. Remove the calibration weight 0.0 g
* = “Calibration” technically means to determine the difference between the balance/scale readout
and the actual weight on the pan to determine the accuracy.
Adjustment means to bring a balance/scale into the state of accuracy required for its use.
Therefore, “calibration,” as used in this manual, actually means “adjustment.”

Weigh Averaging
Purpose
Use this program to determine weights under
unstable ambient conditions. In this program, the
balance/scale calculates the weight as the average
value from a defined number of individual weighing
operations. These weighing operations are also
known as “subweighing operations” or “subweighs.”
Available Features
– The measured result displayed is the arithmetic
mean shown in the selected weight unit;
a triangle indicates that this is a calculated value
– You can set the number of subweighing
operations performed in the operating menu:
– Press v for at least 2 sec. to display
the preset number of subweighing operations
– Press v to toggle the display between
the calculated result and the weight
Factory Settings
Number of subweighs for averaging: 10 (3. 3. 2)
Preparation
§ Configure the Weigh Averaging application
Menu code 2. 1.12 Averaging
– Number of subweighs for weigh averaging:

3. 3. 1 5 subweighs
3. 3. 2 10 subweighs

Example
Determine the weight of a sample in extremely unstable ambient conditions by calculating
the average of 10 subweighing operations.

Menu: Application program: Weigh Averaging (menu code 2. 1.12)

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 maintenance intervals ranging from 1 month
to 2 years. The frequency of the maintenance inter-
vals depends on the user’s operating conditions and
the tolerance limits.
Repairs
Repair work must be performed by trained service
technicians. Any attempt by untrained persons
to perform repairs may lead to hazards for the user.
Cleaning
!Disconnect the balance/scale from the AC adapter
and unplug any interface cables that are connected
to the balance/scale
!Make sure that no liquid enters the balance/scale

housing
!Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents (solvents

or similar agents)
§ 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.
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
Safe operation of the balance/scale with the AC

adapter is no longer ensured when:
– there is visible damage to the AC adapter
– the AC adapter no longer functions properly
– The AC adapter has been stored for a relatively long

period under unfavorable conditions
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 tech-
nicians who are authorized by Sartorius and who
– have access to the required maintenance manuals
– have attended the relevant service training

courses
Instructions for Recycling the Packaging

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.
