Getting Started
Storage and Shipping Conditions
Do not expose the scale to shocks,
vibrations, moisture or extreme tem-
peratures.
Unpacking the Scale
After unpacking the scale, check it
immediately for any visible damage as
a result of rough handling during ship-
ment.
Note:
– The display and control unit is attached
to the weighing platform via a cable.
– If you see any sign of damage, proceed
as directed in the chapter entitled “Care
and Maintenance,” under the section on
“Safety Inspection.”
– Save the box and all parts of the
packaging until you have successfully
installed your scale. Only the original
packaging provides the best protection
for shipment. Before packing your scale,
unplug all connected cables to prevent
damage.
Equipment Supplied
The equipment supplied includes the
components listed below:
– Scale with attached display and control
unit

Installation Instructions
The Sartorius Miras scales are designed
to provide reliable weighing results
under normal ambient conditions. When
choosing a location to set up your scale,
observe the following so that you will
be able to work with added speed and
accuracy:
– Set up the scale on a stable, even sur-
face
– Avoid placing the scale in close proxim-
ity to a heater or otherwise exposing the
scale to heat or direct sunlight
– Protect the scale from drafts that come
from open windows or doors
– Avoid exposing the scale to extreme
vibrations during weighing
– Protect the scale from aggressive
chemical vapors
– Do not expose the scale to extreme
moisture over long periods
– Remove transport locking: see page 9
Conditioning the Scale
Moisture in the air can condense on
the surfaces of a cold scale whenever it
is brought into a substantially warmer
place. If you transfer the scale to a
warmer area, make sure to condition it
for about 2 hours at room temperature,
leaving it unplugged from AC power.
Afterwards, keep the scale continuously
connected to AC power.
