5 Unpacking, Installation and Commissioning

5.1 Installation Site, Location of Use

The balances are designed in a way that reliable weighing results are achieved in
common conditions of use.
You will work accurately and fast, if you select the right location for your balance.
Therefore, observe the following for the installation site:
• Place the balance on a firm, level surface;
• Avoid extreme heat as well as temperature fluctuation caused by
installing next to a radiator or in the direct sunlight;
• Protect the balance against direct draughts due to open windows and
doors;
• Avoid jarring during weighing;
• Protect the balance against high humidity, vapours and dust;
• Do not expose the device to extreme dampness for longer periods of
time. Non-permitted condensation (condensation of air humidity on the
appliance) may occur if a cold appliance is taken to a considerably
warmer environment. In this case, acclimatize the disconnected
appliance for ca. 2 hours at room temperature.
• Avoid static charging of the material to be weighed, weighing container
and windshield.
If electro-magnetic fields or static charge occur, or if the power supply is unstable,
major deviations on the display (incorrect weighing results) are possible. In that case,
the location must be changed.
