Unpacking and Inspection
When unpacking your unit, inspect the carton and packaging material for damage. Damages that may
have occurred during shipping could cause alignment and operation errors. Any damages found upon
receipt of your unit should be immediately reported to Hamilton/Buhl.
Important:
Keep your packaging!
In the event you need to ship the unit back to the factory for repair, the
product must be shipped in the manner in which it was received. Other containers are
not
satisfactory and
will void your warranty! If the container is lost or destroyed, another may be purchased Hamilton/Buhl.
Choosing a Location
Placing your unit in an unsuitable location can cause a number of problems. Many problems can be
avoided by following these guidelines.
The unit must be placed on a flat, level surface. A tilt to the unit’s base can cause errors in
calibration during use. The surface must also be relatively stable and resistant to bumps and
jarring.
The surface the unit is placed on must be able to hold 50+ pounds and be resistant to bowing
under such weight.
Place the unit in a location with adequate air circulation. Closets or cabinets are not suitable as
heat build-up can cause the unit to malfunction. Likewise, do not place the unit on or near any
heat sources such as heating vents or server racks.
The unit must
not
be placed in an area with direct sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration
or shock.
