18. Maintenance

18-1. Treatment Of The Balance

In normal use, the balance can be cleaned with water. But, keep the following

precautions so that dust and water do not invade the balance.
  Do not direct water pressure at the bottom of the balance.
  Do not use powerful water jets.
  Do not submerge the balance in water.

Clean the balance with a lint free cloth that is moistened with warm water and a mild

detergent.

Do not use organic solvents to clean the balance.
Do not disassemble the balance. Contact the local A&D dealer if the balance needs

service or repair.

Use the original packing material for transportation.
While cleaning the balance and keeping it waterproof, connect a waterproof RS-232C

cable (GX-07K) or cover terminals of the RS-232C interface and AC adapter jack. Insure
that the underhook cover is in place.

The value of the internal mass may change due to aging, corrosion or other damage

caused by the operating environment. Check the internal mass periodically. Correct the
internal mass value as necessary.

Weighing pan

Pan support

Draft gate

RS-232C interface
Cover the terminal or connect the waterproof RS-232C
cable (GX-07K) to keep waterproof and dustproof.

AC adapter jack

When the AC adaptor is not connected, cover the terminal.
