IV. Installation
Choosing the installation location
When analytical balances are used in routine lab or industrial measure-
ment environments, the weighing speed will be much quicker, and the
results more accurate. The location should meet the following conditions:
1. Work room should be clean and dry
2. Balance should be placed on a solid, stable, plain flat surface
3. Avoid locations in which the balance could be exposed to any of
the following:
a. Airflow from air conditioners, fans, doors, or windows
b. Vibrations from surrounding or nearby equipment
c. Direct sunlight or radiation
4. Do not use the balance anywhere exposed to explosive, combus-
tible, or corrosive gases.
5. Do not use the balance in areas with high humidity or high levels
of dust
6. When moving from a cooler to a warmer place, the accuracy
and reliability of the scale will be influenced by the moisture con-
densation inside the balance. In order to eliminate this influence,
it is best to leave the scale unplugged in its new location for at
least two hours before next use.
7. Avoid extreme temperatures or exposure to direct sunlight or air
conditioners. Ideal working temperatures are between 5° C and
35° C (41°F and 95° F) with tempature fluctuations of less than 1° C
(1.8° F) per hour.
8. Keep the balance clean.
9. Do not leave material on the balance when not in use.
