Getting Started

Unpacking the Indicator
§ Unpack the equipment and check it
immediately for any visible damage.
$ If you detect any damage, proceed

Equipment Supplied
– Indicator
– Operating instructions (this manual)
– Special accessories listed on the bill
of delivery, if ordered
Installation Instructions
Choose a location that is not subject to
the following unfavorable conditions:
– Excessive temperatures (operating
temperature range: -10°C to +40°C;
+14°F to +104°F)
– Aggressive chemical vapors
– Excessive moisture (depends on
IP rating)
Conditioning the Indicator
Moisture in the air can condense on
cold surfaces whenever the equipment
is moved to a substantially warmer
place. To avoid the effects of condensa-
tion, condition the indicator for about
2 hours at room temperature, leaving it
unplugged from AC power.
Installation Steps
1) Connect the weighing instrument to
the indicator: see page 74
2) Configure the A/D converter:
see page 78
3) Perform calibration/adjustment:
see page 20; see also page 85 for
linearization
4) Connect peripheral devices
(e.g., printer ) to COM1 or UniCOM:
see the chapter entitled "Data
Interfaces," starting on page 89
Connecting the Indicator to AC Power
§ Check the voltage rating and the plug
design. The indicator has a built-in
power supply which can be operated
with a supply voltage of 100 V to 240 V.
The power connection must be made
in accordance with the regulations appli-
cable in your country.
!
To power a device of protection class 1,
make sure the electrical outlet (mains
supply) is properly installed with a pro-
tective grounding conductor (protective
earth, PE).
!
If the electrical outlet does not have
a protective grounding conductor, have
a certified electrician install equivalent
protection. The protective conductor
must not be disconnected at any time.
!
Make absolutely sure to unplug the
indicator from AC power before you
connect or disconnect a peripheral
device (printer or PC).
$ Switch off the equipment when not
in use.
Note:
This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits pursuant
to part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protec-
tion against harmful interference. This
equipment generates, uses and can radi-
ate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with
these instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
For information on the specific limits
and class of this equipment, please refer
to the Declaration of Conformity.
Depending on the particular class, you
are either required or requested to correct
the interference.
If you have a Class A digital device, you
need to comply with the FCC statement
as follows: "Operation of this equipment
in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the
user will be required to correct the inter-
ference at his own expense."
If you have a Class B digital device,
please read and follow the FCC informa-
tion given below:
"[...]However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet
on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help."
Before you operate this equipment,
check which FCC class (Class A or Class
B) it has according to the Declaration of
Conformity included. Be sure to observe
the information of this Declaration.
Warmup Time
To ensure accurate results, the indicator
must warm up for 30 minutes before
operation. Only after this time will the
indicator have reached the required
operating temperature.
If the equipment is used in legal metro-
logy, make sure to allow at least 24 hours
warmup time after initial connection to
AC power or after a relatively long power
outage.
