6 Unpacking, Installation and Commissioning

6.1 Installation Site, Location of Use

The platforms 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 weighing
system.
On the installation site observe the following:
• Place the weighing system on a firm, level surface. The floor must be able to
carry safely the weight of the maximally loaded platform at the resting points. At
the same time it should be sufficiently stable, that no vibrations may occur during
weighing work. This is to be considered too when the platform is installed in
conveyor systems and similar.
• In the installation site possibly no vibrations, e.g. by neighbouring machines
should occur.
• Do not use the weighing system in an explosive environment.
• Avoid extreme heat as well as temperature fluctuation e.g. caused by installing
next to a radiator or in the direct sunlight.
• Protect the weighing system against direct draughts e.g. due to open windows
and doors.
• Use weighing system only in dry environment, protect it against high humidity,
vapours and dust.
• The platform must have been stabilized to room temperature, before power
supply is switched on.
• Do not expose the appliance to heavy moisture over a longer time period. 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 jarring during weighing.
• Avoid static charge of weighed goods and weighing container.
• Keep away chemicals (such as liquids or gasses), which could attack and
damage the balance inside or from outside.
• Keep IP protection of the device.
• If electromagnetic fields (e.g. by mobile phones or radio equipment), static
charges (e.g. when weighing or countings plastic parts), as well as instable
current supply occur, the displayed indications may differ considerably (wrong
weighing results, damage to the balance). Change location or remove source of
interference.
