USER MANUAL ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 7. Preparing working environment +30°C +18°C Location for the balance should be chosen with care in order to limit influence of the factors that can interrupt working balance. This location has to maintain proper temperature for working balance and necessary space for its operating. The balance should stay on stable table made of material that does not influence magnetically on the balance.
USER MANUAL ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 8. Preparing balance to work 1. Take the balance, the feeder and mechanical elements of the pan out. It is recommended to keep the original scale package in order to transport the balance safely in future. 2. Place the balance on a stable ground not affected by mechanical vibrations and airflows.
USER MANUAL ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 9. General operation principles Do not overload the balance more than 20% of maximum capacity. Do not press the pan with a hand. For transportation take off the pan (move it gently and lift it up) and pan support (lift it up) and protect from any damages.
USER MANUAL ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 10. Start-up Plug feeder into 230V power supply socket. When the pan is empty plug feeder output connector into 12V socket at back of the balance. Autotests and internal calibration will be performed. Steps after start-up of the balance: Display test.

USER MANUAL ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Internal calibration is performed in the following situations: - when key is pressed, - after defined time interval (for legally verified balances - 2 hours), - after temperature change (for legally verified balances – more than 2 In legally verified balances time interval is set to 2 hours and defined temperature change is 2 C.
When cooperating with the balance, a computer should be equipped with software that allows receiving data from the balance. RxD (receiver) AXIS offers computer software to cooperate TxD (transmitter) with balances, available on www.axis.pl website. Free software for basic operations with the balance can be found there.
