Getting Started
Unpacking the Equipment
§ After unpacking the equipment, please
check it immediately for any external
damage.
$ If you detect any damage, proceed as
directed in the chapter entitled “Care
and Maintenance" under “Safety
inspection."
$ Save the box and all parts of the
packaging for any future transport.
Unplug all connected cables before
packing the equipment.
Equipment Supplied
– Complete scale
– Operating instructions
– Special accessories as listed on the bill
of delivery, if ordered
Setup
Choose a location that is not subject to
the following negative influences:
– Heat (heater or direct sunlight)
– Drafts from open windows and doors
– Extreme vibrations during weighing
– Excessive moisture
Acclimatization
Moisture in the air can condense
on cold surfaces whenever the
equipment is moved to a substantially
warmer place. To avoid the effects of
condensation, condition the scale for
about two hours at room temperature,
leaving it unplugged from the power
supply.
Equipment Downtime
Switch off the equipment when not
in use.
Checking the Geographical Data
Entered for Use in Legal Metrology
(SIWR Models Only):
Preparation
(See also the “Device Information”
menu items listed under “Operating
Menu Overview" in the chapter entitled
“Configuration")
§ Press the e key to turn on the scale
§ While all segments are lit, press the
T key
>
Appl is displayed
§ To select “Device-specific information,"
press k repeatedly; press T to
confirm
§ To switch the display between
information on weighing platform 1
and weighing platform 2, press k
repeatedly; press T to confirm
> View geographical data (configured
prior to verification), for example:
Latitude (in degrees):
51
4
Altitude (in meters): 513
5
or
Gravitational acceleration (in m/s
2
):
9.810
6
The scale can be used in legal
metrology anywhere in Germany if the
geographical data is as follows:
– Latitude: 51.00 degrees
– Altitude: 513 m
This data corresponds to the following
value:
– Grav. acc.: 9.810 m/s
2
These values are calculated for Germany
based on a mean value for the Earth’s
acceleration. The greater the precision
of the geographical data entered, the
greater the precision achieved with the
weighing instrument; the tolerance
range, however, is restricted accordingly
(see above).
The tolerances ranges, for example for
a scale with 3000e, are as follows:
– ± 100 km for the latitude, and
– ± 200 m for the elevation above seal
level
! If used outside the specified zone,
the scale must be re-verified for use
in legal metrology: Please contact an
authorized service technician.

Under-Scale Weighing
SIW_BBP
A port for a under-scale weighing
hook is located on the bottom of
the weighing platform.
§ Remove the cover plate from the
scale base (<-).
§ Screw in the under-scale weighing
hook accessory.
§ Hang the sample from the hook
(e.g. using a bent wire).
(Install a draft shield if necessary).
Under-Scale Weighing SIW_DCP
A port for a under-scale weighing
hook is located on the bottom of
the weighing platform.
§ Remove the cover plate from the
scale base (<-).
§ Screw in the under-scale weighing
hook accessory.
§ Hang the sample from the hook
(e.g. using a bent wire).
(Install a draft shield if necessary).
! Under-scale weighing cannot be used
with the SIWR... and SIWABBP.
Signum under-scale weighing hooks
can be ordered using option U1.
