INSTALLATION
Selecting the Location
The balance should be used indoors only and in an environment
which is free from excessive air currents, corrosives, vibration, and
temperature or humidity extremes (Max 85%). Maximum altitude
not to exceed 4000 m above sea level. These factors will affect dis-
played weight readings.
DO NOT install the balance:
• Next to open windows or doors causing drafts or rapid tempera-
ture changes.
• Near air conditioning or heater vents.
• Near vibrating, rotating or reciprocating equipment.
• Near magnetic fields or equipment that generates magnetic fields.
• On an unlevel or unstable work surface.
NOTE: Manufacturer cannot guarantee the safety of the product if it is
not used according to the instructions.
Setting Up and Leveling the Balance
Exact horizontal positioning and stable installation are prerequisites
for repeatable results. To compensate for small irregularites or incli-
nations at the location, the instrument can be leveled.
For exact horizontal positioning, the balance is equipped with a level
indicator and two leveling feet located at the rear of the balance.
Position the balance in the intended operating location. Adjust the
leveling feet at the rear of the balance until the air bubble in the
indicator is centered.
NOTE: The instrument should be leveled each time its location is
changed.
