Getting Started
Fastening an Antitheft Locking Device:
Balances with a Weighing Capacity of 12 kg
To fasten an antitheft locking device, use the lug located
on the rear panel of the balance.
● Secure the balance at the place of installation, e.g.,
with a chain or a lock.
Leveling the Balance
Purpose:
– To compensate for unevenness at the place of installation
– To achieve perfectly horizontal positioning of the balance
for consistent reproducibility
Always level the balance again any time after it has been moved.
Leveling Balances with a Weighing Capacity ≤12 kg
Only the 2 front feet are used for leveling.
● Retract the 2 rear feet
● Turn the 2 front feet as shown in the diagram until the air bubble
is centered within the circle of the level indicator
> Several leveling steps are usually required.
● For weighing heavy samples:
Extend the 2 rear feet until they touch the surface on which the
balance rests
Leveling Balances with a Weighing Capacity ≥16 kg
● Adjust the four leveling feet until the air bubble is centered
within the circle of the level indicator
