2.2 Selecting the location
The balance should always be used in an environment which is free from excessive air currents, corrosives, vibration,
and temperature or humidity extremes. These factors will affect displayed weight readings.
DO NOT install the balance:
• Next to open windows or doors causing drafts or
rapid temperature changes.
• Near air conditioning or heat vents.
• Near vibrating, rotating or reciprocating equipment.
• Near magnetic fields or equipment that generates
magnetic fields.
• On an unlevel work surface.
• In confined areas, allow sufficient space around the
instrument for ease of operation and keep away from
radiating heat sources.
2.3 Leveling the balance
Exact horizontal positioning and stable installation are prerequisites for repeatable results. To compensate for small
irregularities or inclinations at the location, the instrument can be leveled.
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. Leveling
