DO NOT install the balance:

Next to open windows or doors causing drafts or
rapid temperature changes.

Near air conditioning or heat vents.

Near vibrating, rotating or reciprocating equipment.

Near magnetic fields or equipment that generates
magnetic fields.

On an unlevel work surface.

Allow sufficient space around the instrument for
ease of operation and keep away from radiating heat
sources.

2.2 Selecting the Location

The balance should always be used in an environment which is free from excessive air currents, corrosives, vibration,
and temperature or humidity extremes. These factors will affect displayed weight readings.

2.3 Setting Up and Leveling the Balance

Exact horizontal positioning and stable installation are prerequisites for repeatable results. To compensate small
irregularites or inclinations at the location, the instrument can be leveled.

For exact horizontal positioning, the balance is equipped
with a level indicator located at the rear of the balance
and leveling feet located at the front and rear of the
balance.

Position the balance in the intended operating location.
Adjust the leveling feet
