Precautions
Cleaning the sensors
CAUTION
Cubiscan 110-XT
This chapter provides information on the care and maintenance of the
Cubiscan 110-XT. Routine maintenance and careful handling will help keep
the Cubiscan 110-XT in good operating condition and prevent service calls
or repairs.
The Cubiscan should not be subjected to extremes in temperature or
humidity, nor should it be subjected to excessive vibration. For
environmental recommendations, see
Do not put packages on the platform that are known to be over 100
pounds (50 kg). All objects, especially heavy ones, should be placed on the
platform gently. Shock loading will occur if an object is dropped or thrown
onto the platform. This puts unnecessary and potentially damaging
pressure on the load cells.
The Cubiscan has been designed to accept overload without damage.
However, rough handling and abuse, over time, can cause the load cells to
lose much of their spring action. In addition, severe shock loading can
cause permanent zero shift, making the scale inoperable.
The sensors should be kept clean. While dust normally won't interfere with
sensor operation, they should be cleaned routinely to prevent the
possibility of interference. To clean, gently blow dust from the gold foil
surface.
The gold foil screen on the front of the sensor is delicate. Do not use high
pressure air or water lines to clean the surface of the gold foil and do not touch
it with fingers, tools, or brushes. Doing so may result in damage.
