AZI SP-150 balances are equipped with a special clamping screw that locks the balance
suspension during shipping. This screw must be loosened before the balance can be
operated (see Figure 1).
Locate the black knob, on the front center of the balance, underneath the display
area.
•
Remove the paper tag.
•
Turn the knob, approximately one (1) turn counter clockwise, as shown in
Figure 1, until it stops.
If the balance is shipped or moved long distances, the clamping screw should be re-
tightened by turning the knob in the clockwise direction until resistance is felt,
approximately one (1) turn.

The environment in which your balance is used is very important. Air movement,
temperature changes, vibrations, direct sunlight, etc. influence the performance of high
precision balances. Therefore, place your balance on a solid, sturdy surface that is free
of air currents and vibration. The surface should not be magnetic and should be located
away from doors, windows, heaters, air conditioners and fans.
Level the balance by turning the front feet to center the bubble in the level Indicator.
Turn a foot clockwise to raise that side or counter-clockwise to lower that side of the
balance.
Turn both feet together to raise or lower the front of the balance.
