Maintenance
This chapter provides information on the care and maintenance of the
CubiScan 110-T. Routine maintenance and careful handling will help keep
the CubiScan 110-T in good operating condition and prevent service calls or
repairs.
Precautions
The CubiScan should not be subjected to extremes in temperature or
humidity, nor should it be subjected to excessive vibration. For
environmental recommendations, see
.
Do not put packages on the platform that are known to be over 100 pounds
(50 kg). All objects, especially heavy ones, should be placed on the platform
gently. Shock loading will occur if an object is dropped or thrown onto the
platform. This puts unnecessary and potentially damaging pressure on the
load cell.
The CubiScan has been designed to accept overload without damage.
However, rough handling and abuse, over time, can cause the load cell to
lose much of its spring action. In addition, severe shock loading can cause
permanent zero shift, making the scale inoperable.
Cleaning the Sensors
The sensors should be kept clean. While dust normally won’t interfere with
sensor operation, they should be cleaned routinely to prevent the
possibility of interference. To clean, gently blow dust from the gold foil
surface.
