Conformity with the list of permitted weighing ranges. – A sticker with the “Minebea Intec“ logo was affixed to the indicator as a control seal following verification. This seal will be irreparably damaged if you attempt to remove it. This will nullify the verification‘s validity. In this case, re-verification would be required in compliance with all relevant national regulations and laws.

Installation Installation When a Combics indicator is ordered with special equipment, the desired options come pre-loaded from the factory. Storage and Shipping Conditions Once the equipment has been removed from the packaging, it may lose accuracy if subjected to strong vibration. If the load plate is lifted using a vacuum lifting pad, gloves, safety shoes and safety gear must be worn.

Installation CAS3-G models (IGG): Remove transport locks Place the weighing platform at its installation location, remove the weigh- ing pan. Remove the transport lock: Remove screw 1 Loosen screw 2. Turn the mounting bracket 180° and re-secure screw 2. Re-attach screw 1 to the lever CAS3-G models (FEG): Remove transport locks Set up the weighing platform in the vicinity of your work area, remove the load plate (1), and remove the red plastic caps.

Installation Weighing Platform, Leveling (IGG) Align the weighing platform leveling feet so that air bubble is centered within the circle of the level indicator. Check to ensure that all four leveling feet rest securely on the work surface. y Each of the leveling feet must support an equal load. Re-fasten the lock nuts after leveling: Small platforms (1 measuring cell) counter to the platform frame, large platforms (4 measuring cells) counter to the platform foot.
Page 11
Installation Shock Resistance The weighing platform has a robust design; however, falling weighing samples, side impacts and shocks should be avoided. The weighing platform can withstand loads specified in the DIN standard IEC68 Part 2-27. Notes on Planning Superstructures Superstructures must be completely attached before the weighing platform is connected to the power.
5.) Carry out an alignment: for adjustment, see page 27, for linearization see page 24 Connecting Peripheral Devices or Another Weighing Platform An analog Minebea Intec IS weighing platform is connected at the factory to the Combics indicator WP1 input. The load cell should be connected by a certified technician who has received specialized training from Minebea Intec.
After you close the housing again, use a pressure gauge to check the integrity of the IP69K protection. For details, contact the Minebea Intec Service Center. Connecting Cables Insert all cable wires through the ferrite case, wind them around the ferrite case and then reinsert back through the ferrite case.
