Installation considerations, preparation and precautions
Prepare the following installation conditions in order to bring out the full performance of the balance.
Note that the installation environment needs to be taken into consideration for the highly sensitive BA-
6TE / BA-6DTE.
Install the balance in an environment where the temperature and relative humidity are not excessive.
The best operating temperature is about 20°C ±2°C at about 45% to 60% relative humidity.
Install the balance where it is free of dust.
The weighing table should be solid. (An anti-vibration table or stone table is ideal)
We recommend using an anti-vibration table (AD-1671) for BA-6TE.
It is advisable to install the display unit in a location other than on the anti-vibration table so that errors
due to tilt that occurs when operating the switches of the balance on the anti-vibration table can be
avoided.
Place the balance on a horizontal table, and make sure that it is not tilted.
Install the balance in a stable location, avoiding vibration and shock. Corners of rooms on the first floor
are best, as they are less prone to vibration.
Install the balance where it is not affected by heaters or air conditioners. Avoid breezes and drafts in the
room.
You can reduce the influence of breezes and drafts by using an AD-1672/AD-1672A (large size) or AD-
1676 (medium size) tabletop breeze break.
Install the balance where it is not exposed to direct sunlight.
Install the balance away from equipment which produces magnetic fields.
Level the weighing unit with the leveling feet and bubble spirit level. Refer to “ 2.3.1. How to adjust the
level of the balance ”.
