2 Below-balance weighing
Objects that, because of their size or shape, cannot be put on the scale, can be weighed by means of below-
balance weighing.
Proceed as follows:
 Turn off the balance.
 Remove the scale-pan and the scale-pan support and turn the balance around.
 To unscrew and to remove metal-cover (1) on the floor of the balance.
 Hang a small hook (available as an accessory) into the aperture (3) of the now visible metal casting (2).
 Place the balance over an opening.
 Replace the scale-pan support and the scale-pan.
 Level the balance. (see chapter 75.6 "Levelling").
 Switch on the balance.
 Hang the object to be weighed on the hook and carry out the weighing.
CAUTION
Take care that the hooks used for the below-balance weighing are stable enough to hold the goods
which you wish to weigh.
NOTE
Take care that no dirt or moisture can get into the balance with the scale-pan carrier removed.
After completing the below-balance weighing, the opening in the floor of the balance must be closed
again (dust protection).
