Cubiscan 325 60
CHAPTER 6
MAINTENANCE
This chapter provides information on the care and maintenance of the
Cubiscan 325. Routine maintenance and careful handling will help keep the
Cubiscan 325 in good operating condition and prevent service calls or
repairs.
Precautions
The Cubiscan 325 should not be subjected to extremes in temperature or
humidity, nor should it be subjected to excessive vibration. For
environmental recommendations, see “Placement” on page 7.
Do not put packages on the platform that are known to be over 50 pounds
(25 kg). All objects, especially heavy ones, should be placed on the
platform gently. Shock loading will occur if an object is dropped or thrown
onto the platform. This puts unnecessary and potentially damaging
pressure on the load cell.
The Cubiscan 325 has been designed to accept overload without damage.
However, rough handling and abuse, over time, can cause the load cell to
lose much of its spring action. In addition, severe shock loading can cause
permanent zero shift, making the scale inoperable.
Cleaning the gate filters
This section describes how to clean the gate filters. The gate filters should
be kept clean. While dust normally won't interfere with sensor operation,
they should be cleaned routinely to prevent the possibility of interference.
To clean the gate filters, use a clean, damp (if needed) microfiber cloth. Use
water to dampen the cloth; do not clean the gate filters with a solvent as
this could cause damage.
