6 Unpacking, Setup and Commissioning

6.1 Installation Site, Location of Use

The weighing beams are designed in a way that reliable weighing results are
achieved in common conditions of use.
To enable exact and fast work, select the right site.
On the installation site observe the following:
• Place the weigh beam on a level and stable surface.
The foundations at the site must be able to bear the weight of the weighing
beams as well as the weight of the maximum weight.
• Avoid extreme heat as well as temperature fluctuation caused by installing
next to a radiator or in the direct sunlight
• Protect the weighing system against direct draughts due to open windows and
doors
• Avoid jarring during weighing
• Protect the weighing beams against high humidity, vapours and dust
• Do not expose weighing beams to moisture over a long period of time. Non-
permitted condensation (condensation of air humidity on the appliance) may
occur if a cold appliance is taken to a considerably warmer environment. In
this case, acclimatize the disconnected appliance for ca. 2 hours at room
temperature
• Avoid static charge of goods to be weighed or weighing container
• Do not lean weighing beams against a wall
• Do not move weighing beams whilst loaded
• Keep away chemicals (such as liquids or gasses), which could attack and
damage the weighing beams inside or from outside
• Keep IP protection of the device
Major display deviations (incorrect weighing results) may be experienced should
electromagnetic fields (e.g. due to mobile phones or radio equipment), static
electricity accumulations or instable power supply occur. Change location or remove
source of interference.
