8 Unpacking, Setup and Commissioning
8.1 Installation Site, Location of Use
The balances 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 balance.
On the installation site observe the following:
 Place scales on a stable, even surface
 Avoid extreme heat as well as temperature fluctuation caused by installing next to
a radiator or in the direct sunlight;
 Protect the balance against direct draughts due to open windows and doors;
 Avoid jarring during weighing;
 Protect the balance 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 the balance and of the person to be weighed.
 Avoid contact with water.
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. In that case, the location
must be changed.
8.2 Unpacking
Take the balance out of their packaging and place it at the intended position. When
using the power pack, ensure that the power cable does not produce a risk of
stumbling.
