ASSEMBLY OF MODEL H-3828
1. Insert the Sub-platform on the Mounting Cone
located in the center of the balance. (See Figure 2)
2. Carefully remove each of the five (5) glass Draft
Shield sections from its packing. You will note that
two (2) of these are plain, two (2) contain handles,
and the other is set in a plastic frame. These sections
or panels comprise the front and rear, side doors,
and top (respectively) of the Draft Shield. The
Draft Shield contains four (4) upright posts and two
(2) cross-members which act as a framework for
insertion of the panels. (See Figure 3)
3. Install the plain glass panels to form the front and
rear of the Draft Shield. (See Figure 3)
a. Select a plain glass panel and insert the bottom
edge of the glass in the recessed slot in front of
the balance, as shown.
b. As you push the top edge of the glass panel
toward the cross-member, reach inside the top
of the framework and depress the small clip
located under the cross-member.
c. Press the glass panel into the framework until you
feel the glass slip into place.
d. Release the clip when glass panel is fully inserted.
e. Repeat these steps to install the other plain glass
panel on the opposite side of the framework.
4. Install the glass doors in the sides of the Draft Shield
framework.
NOTE: The glass doors must be inserted in the
Draft Shield framework before inserting the top
door; likewise, you must remove the top door
before you remove the side doors.
• Hold and position each door so that the handle is
near the front of the balance and the small notch
on the bottom edge of the door is lined up with
the tab that protrudes from the side of the balance
housing (See Figure 3).
• Insert the top edge of the glass door into the
recessed area under the top cross-member of the
Draft Shield framework.
• Slide the notch on the bottom edge over the tab
and slip the door in place.
5. The door may now be opened by sliding it toward
the back of the balance.
SELECTING THE LOCATION
Locate the balance on a firm, steady surface. Avoid
locations with excessive air current, vibrations, heat
sources or rapid temperature changes.
LEVELING THE BALANCE
Before the balance is used, the feet should be adjusted
so that the scale is level with the surface. This will enable
accurate weighing. You will see a level bubble indicator
in a small round window on the front of the balance.
Level the balance by adjusting the leveling feet so the
bubble is centered in the circle, as seen below.
CONNECTING POWER
AC ADAPTER
Connect the AC Adapter to the wall outlet. Connect the
plug into the receptacle on the rear of the balance.
CAUTION! To protect the balance from damage
while installing batteries, make sure the cone
cover is in place.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
To install batteries, remove the pan and its components
and install the cone cover to protect the load cell.
Remove the battery compartment cover from the
bottom of the balance. Install 4 AA batteries in the
compartment, aligning the batteries according to the +
and – symbols. With the balance in an upright position,
remove the cone cover and reinstall the pan and its
components.
