3.0 INSTALLATION
3.1 GENERAL INSTALLATION
The scales should not be placed in a location that will reduce the accuracy.
Avoid extremes of temperature. Do not place in direct sunlight or near air conditioning
vents.
Avoid unsuitable tables. The table or floor must be rigid and not vibrate.
Avoid unstable power sources. Do not use near large users of electricity such as
welding equipment or large motors.
Do not place near vibrating machinery.
Avoid high humidity that might cause condensation. Avoid direct contact with water. Do
not spray or immerse the scales in water.
Avoid air movement such as from fans or opening doors. Do not place near open
windows or air-conditioning vents.
Keep the scales clean. Do not stack material on the scales when they are not in use.
3.2 PREPARATION FOR USE
The scales come with a stainless steel platform, packed separately.
Place the platform in the receptacles on the top cover.
Do not press with excessive force as that could damage the load cell inside.
Level the scale by adjusting the four feet. The scale should be adjusted such that the
bubble in the spirit level is in the centre of the level and the scale is supported by all four
feet.
Turn the power ON using the switch located on the right side of the base.
