2-3 Installing the Balance
Install the balance as follows:
1. Refer to “3-1 Before Use” for installing the balance. Place the balance on a solid weighing
table.
2. Assemble the balance as shown in “2. UNPACKING THE BALANCE”.
3. Adjust the leveling feet to level the balance. Confirm it using the bubble spirit level.
4. Confirm that the adapter type is correct for the local voltage and power receptacle type.
5. Connect the AC adapter to the balance. Warm up the balance for at least 30 minutes with
nothing on the weighing pan.
3. PRECAUTIONS
To get the optimum performance from the balance and acquire accurate weighing data, note the
following:
3-1 Before Use
z The MC series is a high-precision balance with a resolution of
1/10000000. It is prone to changes in temperature and
pressure, static electricity, drafts and vibration of the installation
site. During calibration using an internal mass, it resolves up to
one digit lower than the minimum weighing value. Therefore, be
sure to place the balance in a stable environment.
z The best operating temperature is about 20°C±2°C at 45-60%
relative humidity.
z Install the balance where it is not exposed to direct sunlight and
it is not affected by heaters or air conditioners.
z Install the balance where it is free of dust.
z Install the balance away from equipment which produces
magnetic fields.
z Install the balance in a stable place avoiding vibration and
shock. Corners of rooms on the first floor are best, as they are
less prone to vibration.
z The weighing table should be solid and free from vibration,
drafts and as level as possible.
z Level the balance by adjusting the leveling feet and confirm it
using the bubble spirit level.
z If static electricity is a problem at the installation site, use the
electrostatic field meter and the static eliminator.
z Ensure a stable power source when using the AC adapter.
