POSITIONING THE BALANCE
1.1
PREFACE
Balances with resolutions of 0.1mg and 0.01mg are balances of high sensitivity and precision.
To achieve reliable and accurate results, it is fundamental to install the balance in a suitable
environment to meet the requirements necessary to ensure its proper function.
1.2
RECOMMENDED LOCATION TO INSTALL THE BALANCE
Selection of the correct location for the balance is fundamental to ensure optimal and precise
operation.
For optimum weighing it is necessary to respect the following criteria:
TYPE OF ENVIRONMENT
Place the balance in a corner of the room to minimize vibrations.
Place the balance in a secluded location: do not put it near doors, to prevent air drafts.
Avoid places with several people: each person who is close to the balance generates
a draft of air which can affect the weighing performance.
Protect the balance from air conditioning or ventilation fans and other electronic
devices with fans (e.g. Computer or other laboratory balances).
Keep the room temperature as constant as possible, at a value between 15 and 30°C.
Keep the humidity (where the balance is used) as constant as possible. Humidity
should be maintained between 40% RH and 65% RH of moisture.
Place the balance away from heat sources, e.g. heaters, light bulbs (use tubular
lamps), windows (the warmth of the sun's rays can filter out the window and may
affect the weighing result).
TYPE OF WEIGHING TABLE
The table must be stable. It must not sag during placement of the balance (e.g.
Laboratory bench or Adam Anti-Vibration table)
Must be as anti-magnetic and anti-static as possible.
Must only be used for the balance.
