2. INSTALLATION

2.1 Select the Location

Avoid heat sources, rapid temperature changes, air current or excessive vibrations. Allow sufficient
space.
2.2 Leveling
Be sure the balance is level before it is used or after its location is
changed.
The balance has a level bubble in a small round window beside the
display.
To level the balance, adjust the 2 leveling feet until the bubble is
centered in the circle.
Please refer to the right figure for leveling.
2.3 Connecting Power and Acclimating the Balance
Connect the DC output connector to the power receptacle on the rear of the balance. Then connect the
AC adapter plug to a suitable electrical outlet.
Acclimating
It is suggested that the balance should not be used until it has been acclimated to the environment for a
certain period of time. In the case of a balance with a precision of 0.1 mg and greater, the acclimation
time should be 1.5 hours; in the case of a balance with a precision of 1 mg, the acclimation time should
be more than 0.5 hour.
2.4 Connecting the Interface
The balance has an RS232 port.
Use the RS-232 port to connect either to a computer or a printer with a standard (straight-through) serial
cable.
Interface connections on the rear of the balance
RS232
RS232: Used to connect to PC or Printer
Note: See the Printing section for Connecting, Configuring and Testing the Printer / Computer Interface.

2.5 Initial Calibration

For best results, the instrument's calibration should be checked prior to first use. If adjustment is needed,
refer to the Calibration section of the instruction manual.
