6 Unpacking, Setup and Commissioning
6.1 Installation Site, Location of Use
The balances are designed in a way that reliable weighing results are achieved in
common conditions of use.
You will work accurately and fast, if you select the right location for your balance.
On the installation site observe the following:
• Place the balance on a firm, level surface;
• Avoid extreme heat as well as temperature fluctuation caused by installing
next to a radiator or in the direct sunlight;
• Protect the balance against direct draughts due to open windows and doors;
• Avoid jarring during weighing;
• Protect the balance against high humidity, vapours and dust;
• Do not expose the device to extreme dampness for longer periods of time.
Non-permitted condensation (condensation of air humidity on the appliance)
may occur if a cold appliance is taken to a considerably warmer environment.
In this case, acclimatize the disconnected appliance for ca. 2 hours at room
temperature.
• Avoid static charge of goods to be weighed or weighing container.
If electro-magnetic fields or static charge occur, or if the power supply is unstable
major deviations on the display (incorrect weighing results) are possible. In that case,
the location must be changed.
6.2 Unpacking, checking and installation
Open packaging and remove all parts carefully.
Verify that there has been no damage and that all packing items are present.
