Storage and Shipping Conditions
Do not expose the scale to shocks, vibrations, moisture or
extreme temperatures.
Unpacking the Scale
After unpacking the scale, check it immediately for any
visible damage as a result of rough handling during
shipment.
Note:
– The display and control unit is attached to the weighing
platform via a cable.
– If you see any sign of damage, proceed as directed in the
chapter entitled “Care and Maintenance,” under the
section on “Safety Inspection.”
– Save the box and all parts of the packaging until you
have successfully installed your scale. Only the original
packaging provides the best protection for shipment.
Before packing your scale, unplug all connected cables to
prevent damage.

Installation Instructions
The Acculab Exceleron scales are designed to provide
reliable weighing results under normal ambient conditions.
When choosing a location to set up your scale, observe the
following so that you will be able to work with added
speed and accuracy:
– Set up the scale on a stable, even surface
– Avoid placing the scale in close proximity to a heater or
otherwise exposing the scale to heat or direct sunlight
– Protect the scale from drafts that come from open windows
or doors
– Avoid exposing the scale to extreme vibrations during
weighing
– Protect the scale from aggressive chemical vapors
– Do not expose the scale to extreme moisture over long
periods
Conditioning the Scale
Moisture in the air can condense on the surfaces of a cold
scale whenever it is brought into a substantially warmer
place. If you transfer the scale to a warmer area, make
sure to condition it for about 2 hours at room temperature,
leaving it unplugged from AC power. Afterwards, keep the
scale continuously connected to AC power.
