Installation Instructions
t
Set up a suitable installation location for the weighing platform.
The place of installation should be dry, level, and flat. The operating temperature
ranges from -10°C to +40°C.
The weighing platform must not be subjected to unnecessarily extreme
temperatures, moisture, shocks, or vibrations that could result in damage.
Leveling the Weighing Platform
Purpose: – To compensate for uneven areas at the place of installation
– To ensure that the equipment is placed in a perfectly horizontal
position for consistently reproducible weighing results
Always level the weighing platform again any time after it has been moved to
a different location.
t
Level the weighing platform using the four leveling feet. Turn the feet until
the air bubble is centered in the level indicator.
t
Check to ensure that all leveling feet rest securely on the work surface.
y
Each of the leveling feet must support an equal load.
y
Adjusting the leveling feet:
To raise the weighing platform, extend the leveling feet (turn counterclockwise).
To lower the weighing platform, retract the leveling feet (turn clockwise).
Ground Conductor
The ground conductor is located underneath the weighing pan on the clamp
box or on the lower base of the weighing platform. It is marked as a ground
connection with the symbol shown here.
Grounding is implemented using a threaded bolt or screw terminal, or as a hole.
If a ground hole is the method of grounding, a stainless steel screw and nut
must be used. A lock washer should be placed underneath in order to prevent
the screw from loosening. The grounding cable must have a minimum cross-
section of 4 mm
2 and must be fitted with a suitable ring terminal. Connect
all equipment, including peripheral devices, to the equipotential bonding
conductor.
