4. SETTING UP

4-1. Setting up your balance

1. Place the weighing pan on the main unit as shown on the previous page.
2. Adjust the level of the balance using the leveling feet. Use the spirit level to confirm.

The bubble should be in the center of the circle.

3. Calibrate your balance before use. (See “7. CALIBRATION”)

Balance location

To measure correctly, to keep the balance in good condition, and to prevent hazards,
observe the following:

Do not install the balance in locations that are subject to excessive dust, breezes,

vibration, large temperature fluctuations, condensation, or that may have
magnetic fields.

Do not install the balance on a surface that is soft or that may cause the balance

level to shift.

Do not install the balance in direct sunshine.

Do not install the balance near heaters or air conditioners.

Do not use an unstable AC power source.

Do not install the balance in a place where combustible or corrosive gases may exist.

Allow the balance to reach equilibrium with the ambient temperature before use.

Switch the power ON at least half an hour before use so that the balance can

warm up.

When the balance is installed for the first time, or the balance has been moved,

carry out calibration as described in “7. CALIBRATION.”

4-2. Power source

For the power source, the AC adapter or the rechargeable battery pack (OP-09:
Optional item) is available.

When using the AC adapter

Use a stable power source. To use the AC adapter, insert the AC adapter plug into the
AC adapter jack on the EK/EW-

When using the rechargeable battery pack (OP-09)

Insert the rechargeable battery pack into the main unit.
The balance can be used continuously for about 9 hours using the battery pack.

If “Lb0” is displayed when using the battery pack, immediately stop

using it, and recharge the battery pack or use the AC adapter.

See “11-3 OP-09 Rechargeable battery pack”, for instructions to

install and charge the battery pack.

Be sure to charge the battery pack before using it for the first time.
