6 Unpacking, Setup and Commissioning
6.1 Installation Site, Location of Use
The 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.
On the installation site observe the following:
• Place the weighing system on a firm, level surface.
The floor at the installation site must be able to carry safely the weight of the
maximally loaded weighing bridge at the resting points. At the same time it
should be sufficiently stable, that no vibrations may occur during weighing
work.
• In the installation site possibly no vibrations, e.g. by neighbouring machines
should occur.
• Do not use the weighing system in an explosive environment.
• 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 e.g. due to open windows
and doors.
• Use weighing system only in dry environment, protect it 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 jarring during weighing.
• Avoid static charge of goods to be weighed or weighing container.
• Keep away chemicals (such as liquids or gasses), which could attack and
damage the balance inside or from outside.
• Keep IP protection of the device.
• 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.
