5 Transport and storage
5.1 Check upon delivery
Please check the packaging immediately upon delivery and the device during un-
packing for any visible signs of external damage.
5.2 Packaging
Please keep all parts of the original packaging in case it should be necessary to return
items at any time.
Only the original packaging should be used for return shipments.
Before any shipment, disconnect all cables and loose/movable parts.
Install transport protection elements (if any). All parts such as weighing plate, mains
adapter, stand, operating panel etc. must be protected against sliding down or dam-
age.
6 Unpacking, installation and starting
6.1 Place of installation, place of use
The scale is designed in such a way that reliable weighing results can be achieved
under normal application conditions.
By selecting the correct location for your scale, you will be able to work quickly and
precisely.
Therefore, please observe the following when choosing a place of installation:
ƒ Place the scale on a firm, level surface;
ƒ Avoid extreme heat as well as temperature fluctuation caused by installing the
scale next to a radiator or in the direct sunlight;
ƒ Protect the scale against direct draughts due to open windows and doors;
ƒ Avoid shaking during weighing;
ƒ Protect the scale against high humidity, vapours and dust;
ƒ Do not expose the device to extreme dampness for longer periods of time. In-
admissible bedewing (condensation of air moisture on the device) can occur if
a cold device is taken into a significantly warmer environment. In this case,
please keep the device for approx. 2 hours at room temperature after it has
been disconnected from mains supply;
ƒ Avoid static charge build-up on the scale and people to be weighed;
ƒ Avoid contact with water.
Major display deviations (incorrect weighing results) are possible if electromagnetic
fields occur as well as due to static charging and instable power supply. It is neces-
sary then to change the scale location.
