Setting Up the Scale
§
Choose a suitable place to set up the weighing platform. This place should have a
dry, horizontal and even surface.The operating temperature range is between -10°C
and +40°C (+14°F and +104°F). The allowable structural load-carrying capacity of a
floor or surface must be sufficient to support both the weight of the weighing
platform and its maximum weighing capacity.
If you need to use the weighing platform in areas exposed to heavy traffic (e.g.,
fork-lift trucks), you should install a protective frame, consisting of angular braces,
around the weighing platform.
Do not expose the weighing platform unnecessarily to aggressive chemical vapors or
to extreme temperatures, moisture, shocks, or vibration, which could result in
damage.
Note:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is
operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the
user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Changes or
modifications not expressly approved by Sartorius AG could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
§
The air bubble must be centered within the circle on the level indicator.
§
Level the weighing platform using the leveling feet as described below:
§
Check to ensure that all leveling feet rest securely on the work surface.
> Each of the leveling feet must support an equal load!
§
Loosen the locknuts on the leveling feet using a 19-mm open-end wrench (spanner).
> Adjusting the leveling feet:
To raise the weighing platform, extend the leveling feet (turn clockwise).
To lower the weighing platform, retract the leveling feet (turn counterclockwise).
§
After leveling the weighing platform, retighten the locknuts securely as described
below:
Low-capacity platforms (1 load cell): tighten the locknuts against the platform
frame;
high-capacity platforms (4 load cells): tighten the locknuts against the platform
feet.
