If required, stick the self-adhesive rubber strips included in the delivery to the
weighing plate.

4 Transportation & Storage
4.1 Testing upon acceptance
When receiving the appliance, please check packaging immediately, and the
appliance itself when unpacking for possible visible damage.
4.2 Packaging
Keep all parts of the original packaging in case you need to return the appliance.
Only use original packaging for returning.
5 Unpacking, Setup and Commissioning
5.1 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.
Therefore, observe the following for the installation site:
-
Place the balance on a firm, level 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 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.
