Operation
8.1. Summary
The ExpressCube
™
countertop is a very accurate MDMD (Multi-Dimensional Measuring Device) that
is capable of measuring cuboidal (rectangular/square) boxes with great precision. The
ExpressCube
™
countertop has built in controls to prevent erroneous readings that cannot be altered
by third party software control. Even with these built in controls, the user must exercise care to
follow these guidelines:
•
Boxes cannot exceed the dimension and weight listed in the specifications.
•
Boxes must be cuboidal ( i.e. rectangular or square).
•
Severely damaged packages or packages covered by excessive mud or ice can cause errors
for both dimensions and weight.
•
Both the platform and the package being measured must be free from physical contact with
surrounding objects.
•
Place objects on the platform – do not drop packages onto the platform.
"
Keep the platform clean and free of dust build up to ensure optimum operating
performance.
