4. Intended use
Your ADE scale is a quality product and was manufactured for use as a non-automatic scale.
The scale is intended for determining the weight of goods and for a variety of other weighing
procedures and applications in the commercial sphere.
To determine the weight properly, place the item to be weighed as close to the centre of the
scale as possible. The scale may be loaded with the maximum load (Max) specified on the
device and the nameplate. After a stable measurement result has been determined, it can be
read off.
The scale must not be used for dynamic weighing. If small quantities are slowly added or
removed (e.g., filling liquids), this can lead to incorrect measurement results.
The device may only be used as intended. All applications of the device that are not mentioned
in the chapter “Intended use”, as well as non-observance of the safety instructions, are
considered improper use. It is the user of the device, but not the manufacturer, who assumes
liability for any resulting damage to property or personal injury resulting from misuse.
The use of accessories other than the original accessories supplied by the manufacturer may
void this warranty.
The weighing system may only be used for legal-for-trade weighing if it is
calibrated. The calibration is invalid without a seal.
This device may not be modified without the manufacturer's permission.
