3. PRECAUTIONS
To get the optimum performance from the balance and acquire accurate weight data, note the
following:
3-1 Before Use
The meaning of IP65 is "No ingress of dust. Projected
against water jets".
If a powerful water jet is used or the balance is immersed
in water, the ingress of water may cause damage to the
balance.
Confirm that "the plug is inserted firmly into the AC adapter
jack" and "the RS-232C interface connector is covered
using the terminal cover or the waterproof RS-232C cable
(AX-KO2737-500) is connected", when using as a dust and
waterproof balance.
When the balance is used without the terminal cover on
the RS-232C interface connector or a standard RS-232C
cable is used, the balance does not comply with IP65.
Install the balance in an environment where the
temperature and humidity are not excessive. The best
operating temperature is about 20°C / 68°F at about 50%
relative humidity.
Install the balance where it is not exposed to direct sunlight
and it is not affected by heaters or air conditioners.
Install the balance where it is free of dust.
Install the balance away from equipment which produces
magnetic fields.
Install the balance in a stable place avoiding vibration and
shock. Corners of rooms on the first floor are best, as they
are less prone to vibration.
The weighing table should be solid and free from vibration,
drafts and as level as possible.
Level the balance by adjusting the leveling feet and
confirm it using the bubble spirit level.
Ensure a stable power source when using the AC adapter.
Plug in the AC adapter and warm up the balance for at
least 30 minutes.
Calibrate the balance before use or after having moved it
to another location.
Caution
Do not install the balance where flammable or corrosive gas is present.
