6 Unpacking, Setup and Commissioning
6.1 Installation Site, Location of Use
The U-weighing bridges are designed in a way that reliable weighing results are
achieved in common conditions of use.
You will work accurately and fast, if you select the right location for your weighing
system.
Therefore, observe the following for the installation site:
• Place the weighing system on a firm, level surface;
The foundation at the installation site must be able to carry the weight of the
weighing system as well as the weight of the maximum load.
• Avoid extreme heat as well as temperature fluctuation caused by installing
next to a radiator or in the direct sunlight;
• Protect the weighing system against direct draughts due to open windows and
doors;
• Avoid jarring during weighing
• Protect the weighing system against high humidity, vapours and dust;
• Do not expose the device to extreme dampness for longer periods of time.
Non-permitted condensation (condensation of air humidity on the appliance)
may occur if a cold appliance is taken to a considerably warmer environment.
In this case, acclimatize the disconnected appliance for ca. 2 hours at room
temperature.
• Avoid static charge of goods to be weighed or weighing container.
• Do not lean the weighing system against the wall.
• Do not move the weighing system when it is loaded.
• Keep away chemical substances such as liquids or gases which may attack or
damage the weighing system inside or outside.
• Keep the IP-protection of the unit
Major display deviations (incorrect weighing results) may be experienced should
electromagnetic fields (e.g. due to mobile phones or radio equipment), static
electricity accumulations or instable power supply occur. Change location or remove
source of interference.
