Getting Started

Unpacking the Scale

§ After unpacking the equipment,
please check it immediately for any
external damage.
$ If you detect any damage, proceed
as directed in the chapter entitled
"Care and Maintenance," under
"Safety Inspection."
$ Save the box and all parts of the
packaging for any future transport.
Unplug all connected cables before
packing the equipment.

Equipment Supplied

– Complete scale
– Operating instructions (this manual)
– Special accessories as listed on the
bill of delivery, if ordered

Installation

Choose a location that is not subject
to the following negative influences:
– Heat (heater or direct sunlight)
– Drafts from open windows and doors
– Extreme vibrations during weighing
– Excessive moisture

Conditioning the Scale

Moisture in the air can condense on
cold surfaces whenever the equipment
is moved to a substantially warmer
place. To avoid the effects of conden-
sation, condition the scale for about
2 hours at room temperature, leaving
it unplugged from AC power.
Equipment not in Use
Switch off the equipment when
not in use.

Checking the Geographical Data

Entered for Use in Legal Metrology
(SIWR Models Only)
Preparation
(See also the "Device Information"
menu items listed under "Operating
Menu Overview" in the chapter
entitled "Configuration."
§ Press the e key to turn on the scale
§ While all segments are lit,
press the T key
>
Appl is displayed
§ To select "Device-specific information,"
press k repeatedly; press T
to confirm
§ To switch the display between
information on weighing platform 1
and weighing platform 2, press k
repeatedly; press T to confirm
> View geographical data (configured
prior to verification); for example:
4
Latitude (in degrees): 51
5
Altitude (in meters): 513
or
Gravitational acceleration (in m/s
6
9,810
The scale can be used in legal
metrology anywhere in Germany if the
geographical data is as follows:
– Latitude: 51.00 degrees
– Altitude: 513 m
This data corresponds to the following
value:
– Gravitational acceleration: 9.810 m/s
These values are calculated for Germany
based on a mean value for the Earth's
acceleration. The greater the precision
of the geographical data entered, the
greater the precision achieved with
the weighing instrument; the tolerance
range, however, is restricted accordingly
(see above).
The tolerances ranges, for example
for a scale with 3000e, are as follows:
– ± 100 for the latitude, and
– ± 200 for the elevation above sea level.
! If used outside the specified zone,
the scale must be re-verified for
use in legal metrology: Please contact
an authorized service technician.
