Installation Instructions
Your scale is designed to provide reliable weighing results
under normal ambient conditions. When choosing a
location to set up your scale, observe the following so that
you will be able to work with added speed and accuracy:
– Set up the scale on a stable, even surface
– Avoid placing the scale in close proximity to a heater
or otherwise exposing the balance to heat or direct
sunlight
– Protect the scale from drafts that come from open
windows or doors
– Avoid exposing the scale to extreme vibrations during
weighing
– Protect the scale from aggressive chemical vapors
– Do not expose the scale to extreme moisture over long
periods
Conditioning the Scale:
Moisture in the air can condense on the surfaces of
a cold scale whenever it is brought into a substantially war-
mer place. If you transfer the scale to a warmer
area, make sure to condition it for about 2 hours at room
temperature, leaving it unplugged from AC power.
