Servicing
To ensure the continued accuracy of your scale, we
recommend scheduling regular servicing at least once a year.
Sartorius Service offers different service contracts with
maintenance intervals that are tailored to your needs.
A calibration certificate should always be issued as part
of every maintenance session. Safety inspections of the
AC adapter and its connections must be performed at
appropriate intervals by a qualified electrician (e.g. every
2 years).
