Magellan™ 9800i Scanner
inoperable until it has been recertified and a new seal attached. Consult your local regulations
before removing the calibration seal if you are unsure of the legal requirements. Although the
scale will physically continue to weigh products, a broken seal may require recertification by a
proper authority as designated by your local laws.
Operational Maintenance
The scanner or scanner/scale will provide dependable service for many years. The following
maintenance procedures will keep your scanner or scanner/scale operating at peak performance.
Cleaning the Weigh Platter and Scan Windows
. Clean the exterior surfaces of the horizontal and
vertical scan windows at least twice daily with a nonabrasive, mild, water-based glass cleaner and
paper towels or lint-free cleaning tissues. The textured plastic surfaces and stainless steel can also
be cleaned using the same cleaning agents.
Cleaning the Air Gap/Debris Chutes & Drip Rail.
Daily, clear the debris chutes between the platter
and the outer housing. Most items can be cleared from the debris chutes by carefully running a
thin stiff object like a credit card along all sides of the weighing surface. If necessary, remove the
platter to clear the debris chutes and drip rail.
Vertical Scan Window Replacement
The two Vertical Scan Windows enclosed in the All Weighs™ Platter are replaceable. Follow
these instructions to remove and replace a vertical window:
To remove a Vertical Scan Window:
1. Grasp the platter as shown in
Figure 37 and gently lift it from the scanner until the
edges can be grasped, and then lift straight up. If the top edge of the platter is blocked,
you
may find it easier to grip the edges of the platter as shown by the arrows.

and gently lift the plastic piece off of the platter.
