Precautions
This chapter gives detailed instructions and important information to install the RE Series scale successfully.
Environment
Before you install the scale, identify the best location for the equipment. The proper environment enhances its
operation and longevity. Keep in mind the following factors, which might have a negative influence on the scale's
operation:
Vibration
Vibration diminishes the scale's ability to measure accurately. Electrical machinery such as conveyors and drill
presses can cause inaccurate and non-repeatable readings. The scale may also read inaccurately if it is not
leveled properly.
Air current
Moving air can cause the scale to read an additional force (add. weight) and have the same effect as vibration.
Friction
A scale cannot measure accurately if an object is rubbing or pressing against the platter.
Unpacking and inspection
Please inspect the package as it is delivered by the carrier. If the shipping container is damaged, check for internal
damage and file a freight claim with the carrier if necessary. If the container is undamaged, open the box, remove
the scale and place it on a solid, flat surface. Please keep the packing material and shipping insert in case you
need to return the scale to OHAUS. The RE Series is a precision instrument and may be permanently damaged if not
shipped in factory approved packaging.
Package contents for all RE Series units include:
RE Series scale
platter
tower incl. fixation material (tower version only)
Setup
Open the box and pull up the scale, including the packing material, then remove the packing material.
Tower versions (e.g. RN10-T) only:
Plug in the tower connector into the socket on bottom of the scale. Fix the cover of the chassis
Set the unit on a stable, level surface. Level the scale by turning the adjustable feet on the bottom of the unit. When
the bubble indicator is in the centre of the circle, RE SERIES is leveled correctly.
Bubble indicator:
Good
All four feet must touch the surface to make sure that the RE SERIES does not rock.
Remove the transportation lock (3kg scale only) by:
1) removing the 2 screws;
2) putting the 2 rubber mats back.
Put the platter on top of .
Unpack the power adapter and plug it into the bottom of the scale. Plug the line cord into a properly grounded AC
power outlet.
Power up sequence and turn off scale
FIX
Press the power key
to turn on the Scale. The RE Series goes through a series of self-tests when it is turned on.
ON/OFF
The scale performs a diagnostic test on its ROM and RAM, then proceeds to normal operating mode. The power-up
sequence is as follows:
All segments of the display characters are lighted. This verifies operation of all segments.
•
The scale displays country code, GEO value, the software part number and revision number.
•
The scale displays "------", and captures zero and is ready for normal operation.
•
Note: Before switching on the RE Series scale, always make sure there is nothing on the platter.
