Installation Instructions

Your scale is designed to provide reliable weighing results under normal ambient conditions. When choosing a location to set up your scale, observe the following so that you will be able to work with added speed and accuracy:

Set up the scale on a stable, even surface

Avoid placing the scale in close proximity to a heater or otherwise exposing the balance to heat or direct sunlight

Protect the scale from drafts that come from open windows or doors

Avoid exposing the scale to extreme vibrations during weighing

Protect the scale from aggressive chemical vapors

Do not expose the scale to extreme moisture over long periods

Conditioning the Scale:

Moisture in the air can condense on the surfaces of

a cold scale whenever it is brought into a substantially war- mer place. If you transfer the scale to a warmer

area, make sure to condition it for about 2 hours at room temperature, leaving it unplugged from AC power.

Setting up the Scale

Place the components listed below inside the chamber in the order given:

Shield plate

Shield ring

Pan support

Weighing pan

Gem tray (not shown)
