1.2 Operating Requirements
Electrical Grounding
Rolling or wheeling loads onto the scale can build up large static charges that may damage the attached indicator
unless it is properly grounded to prevent ESD. This is especially true in dry environments where charges drain off
slowly, or if wheeling on materials which already contain a static charge, like rolls of paper or plastic film material
that have been recently spooled.
To prevent ESD damage, the indicator requires a three-prong 120 VAC outlet plug with continuous earth
ground. Do not attempt to use the scale with two-prong 120 VAC power without a ground.
