3 Proper Operation

3.5 Power Outlet Requirements
The LP-2 is designed to be used almost anywhere in the world! Like the many appliances of today,
the LP-2 is designed with an automatically switching power supply. This allows operation when
connected to an AC source from 85V to 240V at 50/60Hz with 5% tolerance.
Remember: a switching power supply does not imply that bad, noisy, or improperly wired power
lines will be problem free. With that in mind, please make sure that the power lines used for the LP-
2 are dedicated lines with no high-noise devices (such as compressors, motors, etc) running on it.
Also, make sure that the wiring to the electrical socket is correct. If you are uncertain as to the
state of your business’ electrical lines, please contact a certified electrician.
1)
Once you are sure as to the safety of the electrical line, make sure to ONLY plug the scale into a 3-
prong outlet. The third prong is a safety ground and an electrician should properly wire this if it is
not correct or if you are unsure. Failure to this CAN result in electrical shock from use of this or any
electronic scale.
2)
Do not use any 3-prong to 2-prong adapters or break-off the third prong from the LP-2 power cord.
The third prong is necessary and must be properly connected.
3)
If you have any problems or questions regarding this matter, make sure to consult an Authorized
CAS Dealer or an electrician.
