Maintenance
This chapter provides information on the care and maintenance of
the CubiScan 125. Routine maintenance and careful handling will
help keep the CubiScan 125 in good operating condition and prevent
service calls or repairs.
Precautions
The CubiScan 125 should not be subjected to extremes in tempera-
ture or humidity, nor should it be subjected to excessive vibration.
For environmental recommendations, see “Placement” on page 8.
Do not put packages on the platform that are known to be over 50
pounds (25 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 125 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.
