INSTALLATION
Environment
The balance should always be used in an environment which is free from excessive air
currents, corrosives, vibration, and temperature or humidity extremes. These factors will
affect displayed weight readings.
DO NOT install the balance:
• next to open windows or doors causing drafts or rapid temperature changes.
• near air conditioning or heat vents.
• near vibrating, rotating or reciprocating equipment.
• near magnetic fields or devices that may generate magnetic fields (i.e. motors, alterna-
tors, etc.)
• on an unlevel work surface.
Install the balance in the location where it will be used before proceeding.
Weigh Below Hook
A weigh below hook is provided inside the
bottom cover under the protective plate
shown in the illustration.
To access the weigh below hook, care-
fully turn the balance on it's side, loosen
the screw which secures the cover plate,
rotate the plate to clear the hole, then
secure the plate in that position. Return
the balance to an upright position. Mount
the balance on a stable, level elevated
platform and install a hook.
