3. INSTALLATION
Choosing the installation place
The measuring performance of the balance is greatly influenced by the environment
where it is installed.
Observe the following points to ensure a safe and accurate weighing.
Do not use the balance anywhere exposed to explosive, combustible or
corrosive gases.
This could cause fire or other kind of serious problems.
Use the correct power supply and voltage with the balance.
Using an incorrect power supply or voltage with the balance will lead to fire or trouble with
the balance.
Note also that if the power supply or voltage is unstable or if the power supply capacity is
insufficient, it will not be possible to obtain satisfactory performance from the balance.
Avoid locations where the balance will be exposed to any of the following
situations:
¤ Air flow from an air conditioner, ventilator, door or window.
¤ Extreme temperature changes
¤ Vibration from surroundings or nearby equipments
¤ Direct sunlight
¤ Dust, electromagnetic waves or a magnetic field
Install the balance on a strong and stable flat table or floor.
Placing the balance in an unstable site could lead to troubles with the balance or
injury to users.
When selecting the installation site, take into account the combined weight of
the balance and the item to be weighed.
