Setting up the scale
Please read these operating instructions carefully and follow them exactly! If you find that any items are missing or incorrect, or if
you have any other problems with your scale, please contact your authorized METTLER TOLEDO representative.
1.1
Important
Various different models of the ITB scale
terminal
are available. Only the
benchtop
model is described in these instructions.
If you ordered a
wall- or stand-mount terminal
, please refer to the installation instructions delivered separately. The
AccuPac
(special equipment) can contain a number of options, such as additional interfaces or a storage battery. If you ordered an
AccuPac it will have been configured at the factory with the options you requested and fastened below the terminal. The installation
of an AccuPac after delivery is possible, but it is very costly.
1.2
Unpacking and checking the delivered items
Remove the scale and accessories from the packaging and check the delivered items:
Terminal and weighing plaform with installed weighing pan and level indicator (certified scales only)
Open-end wrench for leveling the weighing platform
Operating instructions (this document)
Special accessories (if any) as per packing list
1.3
Safety and environment
For safe and environmentally harmless operation of your scale, observe the following instructions:
Do not use the scale in
hazardous environments
(unless it is specially marked).
Although the ITB scale is protected to
IP65
, it must not be used in environments where
there is a
corrosion hazard
. Never flood the scale or immerse it in liquids!
If the
power supply cable
is damaged, the scale must not be used. Check the cable
regularly.
Do not open the weighing platform or terminal
since this will void the guarantee. Do
not use rigid objects to clean inside the weighing platform.
Treat the scale with care
, it is a precision instrument. Avoid knocking the weighing pan
or placing excessively heavy loads on it.
If the ITB scale will be used in
food processing areas
: Those parts of the scale
which may come into contact with food have a smooth surface and are easy to clean.
The materials used do not shatter and contain no harmful substances. In food
processing areas, it is advisable to use the
protective cover
(accessory). This must
be regularly cleaned like the scale itself. A damaged or heavily soiled protective cover
must be replaced immediately.
When
disposing of the scale
, observe the applicable environmental regulations. If the
scale is fitted with a
storage battery
, note that the battery contains heavy metals and
must therfore not be disposed of as normal waste! Observe local regulations for disposal
of environmentally harmful substances.
