Basic Operation
After new purchase of the balance or after a long storage, you have to calibrate the balance before the first
commissioning. Level the balance with the adjustable feet horizontal until the air bubble in the level is in
the center of the Level Indicator. Give the balance after changing the location a warm-up time min. 1 hour
before using. This time is necessary for the balance to adapt to the eventual temperature.
