MAINTENANCE, CALIBRATION, TEST PROCEDURE & SERVICE 

 
This section contains information and instructions concerning maintenance of the 
DS-470 check weighing scale. 

            

Preventive maintenance consists of periodically cleaning the external surfaces of 
the instrument and should be performed as often as operating conditions warrant. 

            

The calibration procedure is designed to be an aid in maintaining the scale accuracy 
within specifications.  The calibration procedure may also serve as a performance 
test procedure. 

            

CAUTION:  DO NOT ATTEMPT ANY SERVICE WHILE THE  INSTRUMENT IS 
CONNECTED TO THE POWER LINES.

 

            

7.1. Maintenance 

Procedures                   

7.1.1.   Exterior Maintenance 

The exterior surfaces of the counting scale can be easily cleaned using 
soap and water.  However, extreme caution should be used so that there is 
no possibility of water penetration into the scale electrical or mechanical 
sections.  A damp cloth or sponge is suggested.  NEVER USE ACETONE, 
MEK, OR SIMILAR SOLVENTS ON THE PLASTIC HOUSING AS THEY 
WILL ETCH THESE SURFACES. 

                         

For grease or other difficult spots, a chlorothane or naptha based cleaner 
may be used.  Never use any solvents on the front or rear panels. 

                         

Accumulations of dust or direct particles between the pins of the 
connectors may be removed by using dry forced air or a small dry brush. 

      

 
7.1.2.   Internal Maintenance 

Internal maintenance is not normally required and if it is, should not be 
attempted except by a qualified, authorized service technician. 

      

7.1.3.   Calibration 

The following procedure should be followed periodically (every six to 
twelve months is suggested) to determine that the scale is functioning in all 
modes.                         
a.               Electrical 

Follow section 4.0 through all its steps
