6 Unpacking, installation and commissioning

6.1 Place of installation, place of use

The balance is constructed in such a way that reliable weighing results can be
achieved under normal application conditions.
By selecting the correct location for your balance, you will be able to work quickly and
precisely.
Therefore please observe the following at the place of installation:
• 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.
Inadmissible bedewing (condensation of air moisture on the device) can occur
if a cold device is taken into a significantly warmer environment. In this case,
please acclimatise the device for approx. 2 hours at room temperature after it
has been disconnected from the mains.
• Avoid static charging of items to be weighed, or weighing container.
Major display deviations (incorrect weighing results) are possible if electromagnetic
fields occur as well as due to static charging, currents and instable power supply. It is
then necessary to change the location.

6.2 Unpacking

Carefully remove the balance from its packaging, remove the plastic wrapping and
position the balance in its intended working location.
