Scientech S9000 - Manual (Page 4)

All balances are equipped with a special clamping screw that locks the balance suspension during shipping. This screw
must be loosened before the balance can be operated (see Figure 2).
1. Locate the black knob, on the front center of the balance, underneath the display area.
2. Remove the paper tag.
3. Turn the knob, in the direction shown below, until finger tight.
If the balance is ever shipped or moved long distances, the clamping screw should be retightened by turning the knob in
the opposite direction until finger tight.

The environment in which your balance is used is very important. Air movement, temperature changes, vibrations, direct
sunlight, etc. influences the performance of high precision balances. Therefore, place your balance on a solid, sturdy surface that
is free of air currents and vibration. The surface should not be magnetic and should be located away from doors, windows,
heaters, air conditioners and fans.
Adjust (turn) the FRONT FEET (see Figure 3) to level the balance by centering the bubble in the LEVEL INDICATOR which is
shown in Figure 1. Turning the foot as shown below raises that side of the balance and an opposite adjustment lowers it. When
properly adjusted the metal center shaft of the assembly will protrude from the center of the plastic foot and will support the
balance. The plastic foot will be raised up against the bottom of the balance and will not be touching the weighing table.

Before making any connections, verify that the power (VAC) requirement shown on the remote power supply is compatible with
the AC power outlet to which the balance will be connected. First plug the round DIN connector into the rear panel
receptacle. Then, plug the power supply into a grounded AC outlet. Do not alter or bypass the ground plug in any way.
Doing so adversely affects the performance of the balance.
NOTE: Your balance must be plugged in for at least one (1) hour, then calibrated, prior to use. Please see the
Autocalibration instructions section for details.
