SITE PREPARATION REQUIREMENTS

The 204 Weight Indicator is a precision weight indicating instrument. As with any precision
instrument, it requires an acceptable environment to operate at its peak performance and
reliability. This section is provided to assist you in obtaining such an environment.
Electrical Power
The 204 indicator has been designed to operate from a 115 VAC 50/60 Hz (optional 230 VAC
50/60 Hz) AC adapter. Note that an optional AC adapter is required for operation at 230 VAC.
CAUTION! - To avoid electrical hazard and possible damage to the indicator,
DO NOT, under any circumstance, cut, remove, alter, or in any way bypass the
power cord grounding prong.
On models requiring 230 VAC power, it is the responsibility of the customer to have a
qualified electrician install the proper power cord plug which conforms to national electrical
codes and local codes and ordinances.
The power outlet for the indicator should be on a separate circuit from the distribution panel.
This circuit should be dedicated to the exclusive use of the indicator. The wiring should
conform to national and local electrical codes and ordinances and should be approved by the
local inspector to assure compliance.
To prevent electrical noise interference, make certain all other wall outlets for use with air
conditioning and heating equipment, lighting or other equipment with heavily inductive loads,
such as welders, motors and solenoids are on circuits separate from the indicator. Many of
these disturbances originate within the building itself and can seriously affect the operation of
the instrument. These sources of disturbances must be identified and steps must be taken to
prevent possible adverse effects on the instrument. Examples of available alternatives include
isolation transformers, power regulators, uninterruptible power supplies, or simple line filters.
