Summary of safety instructions – part 1
Safety instructions
We exclude claims for damages in any form for damage to persons or property caused through
non-observance of the following safety instructions.
Intended use
Do not make any changes to the machine and use only spare parts and accessories which have
been approved by Retsch.
The declaration of conformity to the European directives by Retsch will otherwise lose its validity.
Furthermore this will result in the loss of any kind of guarantee claims.
The AS400 control can cause major imbalances due to movements of the material being screened. It must
therefore be installed on a suitable bench in the laboratory. The net weight of the AS400 control is 73 kg.
Base area required
The AS400 control can cause major imbalances due to movements of the material being screened. It must
therefore be installed on a suitable bench in the laboratory. The net weight of the AS400 control is 73 kg
Packing
Please retain the packaging for the duration of the warranty since, in case of a complaint, returning in un-
suitable packaging can jeopardize your warranty claims.
Transport
During transportation, do not subject the AS400 control to impacts, jolts or vibrations. The electronic and
mechanical components could otherwise be damaged.
Temperature fluctuations
In case of wide temperature fluctuations (during shipment by air, for instance), protect the AS400 control
from condensation. The electronic components could otherwise be damaged.
Scope of supply
If the shipment is incomplete or has suffered transport damage, you must notify the forwarder and Retsch
GmbH immediately (within 24 hours). Under certain circumstances, claims lodged at a later date may not
be considered valid.
Ambient temperature:
When the ambient temperature exceeds or falls below that specified, the electrical and mechanical compo-
nents may be damaged, and performance data changed to an unknown extent.
Atmospheric humidity:
At a higher humidity, the electrical and mechanical components may be damaged, and performance data
changed to an unknown extent.
Assembly
The AS400 control can cause major imbalances due to movements of the material being screened. It must
therefore be installed on a suitable bench in the laboratory.
We recommend that the speed set should not exceed >200 r.p.m. or that the AS400 be fixed to the labo-
ratory bench with metal sheets A if the analytical sieves used are  400mm and have high sieve stacks.
The net weight of the AS400 control is 70 kg.
