Using The Printer In Legal Metrology - Sartorius YDP10-0CE Mode D'emploi

Using the Printer in Legal Metrology

The German National Institute of
Physics and Metrology (PTB) has issued
an independent test certificate for the
YDP10-0CE (see certificate for number).
With this certificate, the printer is per-
mitted for use in legal metrology in the
EU and the EEA. This applies only when
the printer is connected to a weighing
instrument that has an EC type approval
certificate, or a national equivalent,
verifying that the weighing instrument
is verifiable for legal metrology.
If the weighing instrument has one or
more display digits marked (e = d), the
printer must mark these digits as well;
for example, with brackets or inverse
printing. This does not apply for weigh-
ing instruments of accuracy class I with
a verification scale interval e = 1 mg
and a scale interval of d < 0.1 mg.
For weighing instruments with e = d,
marking digits is not permitted.
Data output from the weighing instru-
ment must be configured so that the
marking of digits is passed to the printer
and included on the printout.
If the printer is subsequently connected
to a verified weighing instrument already
in use in legal metrology, notify your
local weights and measures inspection
office or contact your local Sartorius
service center if you wish to have the
data printer configured and prepared
for verification for use in legal metrol-
ogy. The above does not concern print-
ers that are immediately used in legal
metrology.
