Carbolite ABA 7/35B - Manual (Page 7)

7 MF60 – 1.04
3 ABA Installation
3.1 Tools Required
10mm spanner, 12mm spanner, cross point screwdriver, flat blade screwdriver, allen key
(supplied), 5kg calibration mass (not supplied).
3.2 Unpacking Handling and Siting
When unpacking and moving the ABA always lift it by its base; never lift it by the door or any
other protruding part. The ABA weighs approximately120 kg please ensure
that suitable equipment and an adequate number of personnel are available to
safely lift the device into position. Remove any packing material from the
chamber before use. The ABA is fitted with a safety door lock; when
there is no power connected to the equipment the door has to be opened
using the key supplied. The keyhole is located on the right hand side of the case.
Lock the door again after checking and clearing the interior. See section 4.2.
Install the ABA 7/35B in a well-ventilated room, ideally away from sources of dust. The surface
on which the equipment is mounted should be resistant to accidental spillage of hot materials
and must not be inflammable. The surface should be stable and not subject to movement or
vibration. If the optional metal stand (part number 00372-3-4000) is supplied, this is best placed
on a solid (concrete) floor.
If sited in a prefabricated or mobile laboratory additional stiffening of the floor may be required
to ensure stability of the internal weighing system.
The height of the mounting surface is important to avoid operator strain when loading and
unloading samples. A surface height of about 600mm is recommended to give a sample loading
height of about 960mm.
Ensure that there is free space around the ABA. Do not obstruct any of the vents in the case:
they are needed to keep the controls and the case exterior cool.
Ensure that the ABA is placed in such a way that it can be quickly switched off or disconnected
from the electrical supply - see below.
