Congratulations and thank you for selecting a GeneMate GA-Series Balance, we appreciate your 
business. Your balance was designed and manufactured to give you years of service. 

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS     

 

-    Check the instrument for any visible signs of damage before you apply power.

 

-    Ensure the power supply is compatible with your instrument AND the local line voltage.

 

-    Do 

NOT

 operate in Hazardous Locations. Check with your Safety Officer with any questions or     

      concerns.

 

-   

Make sure no liquid enters the housing. Use a damp cloth to clean the instrument.

 

-   

Do not locate in areas where corrosive gases are present

. 

-    Avoid exceeding/overloading the weigh capacity or dropping samples on to the weigh pan.       
      Weight overload and shock may damage the instrument and void the warranty 

-   

Connect only accessories and options that are optimally designed for use with your balance. The     

  operator shall be responsible for any modifications to the equipment and for any connection of       
  cables, power supplies or peripheral equipment that are not compatible with SSA Series Balances. 

-

 

    Un

plug

 the balance from AC power before you connect or disconnect a peripheral device                     

(Printer or PC) to or from the interface port 

-

  The only way to completely turn off the electrical source completely is disconnect the power cord. 

If there is any indication that safe operation of the balance is no longer warranted: 

-

 

Turn off the power and disconnect the equipment from AC outlet immediately.

 

-

 

Lock the equipment in a secure place to ensure that it cannot be used for the time being. 

-

 

Notify the nearest Service Center. A trained service technician must perform repair work.
