Precautions
This chapter gives detailed instructions and important information to install the Mini-Tiger scale successfully.
Environment
Before you install your Mini-Tiger scale, identify the best location for the equipment. The proper environment enhances the
operation and longevity of the scale. Keep in mind the following factors, which might have a negative influence on the scale's
operation:
☞Vibration
Vibration diminishes the scale's ability to measure accurately. Electrical machinery such as conveyors and drill presses can
cause inaccurate and non-repeatable readings. The scale may also read inaccurately if it is not leveled properly.
☞Air current
Moving air can cause the scale to read an additional force (add. weight) and have the same effect as vibration.
☞Friction
A scale cannot measure accurately if an object is rubbing or pressing against the platter.
Unpacking and inspection
Please inspect the package as it is delivered by the carrier. If the shipping container is damaged, check for internal damage
and file a freight claim with the carrier if necessary. If the container is undamaged, open the box, remove the scale and place
it on a solid, flat surface. Please keep the packing material and shipping insert in case you need to return the scale to METTLER
TOLEDO. The Mini-Tiger is a precision instrument and may be permanently damaged if not shipped in factory approved
packaging.
