3.0. INSTALLATION
This section provides the information required for installing this weighing system for operation.
The following steps accomplish installation.
1. Unpacking
2. Set-up Procedure
3.1. Unpacking
Each component of the DS-671 system is packed in a specially designed carton.
Remove each component from its carton, separate the component from its polystyrene shell
assembly and set aside. Inspect the carton interior to be sure that all accessories have been
removed from the carton. Inspect the carton inner panels for accessories.
NOTE:Be sure to repack all materials within the carton set. Store the cartons in a secure area so they can
be available whenever future shipment of the scale is required.
3.2. Inspection
Immediately after unpacking, a visual inspection of the scale should be performed. If any damage
has been incurred during transportation notify the shipper and Rice Lake Weighing Systems
immediately. Instructions for assessment of damage and further procedures will then be
determined.
3.3.Repackaging
If, at anytime, the DS-671 weighing scale must be returned for modification, calibration, or
repair, be sure that it is properly packed with sufficient cushioning materials. Whenever possible,
the original carton assembly should be retained for this purpose. Any damage caused by improper
packaging will not be covered by warranty.
3.4. Unlocking Procedure
The unlocking procedure is included on the next page. The DS-671 should be properly locked
whenever it is being transported. See next page for un-locking procedure.

5.6.Maintenance, Calibration, Test Procedure & Service
This section contains information and instructions concerning maintenance of the DS-671
Weighing Scale.
Preventive maintenance consists of periodically cleaning the external surfaces of the instrument
and should be performed as often as operating conditions warrant.
The calibration procedure is designed to be an aid in maintaining the scale accuracy within
specifications. The calibration procedure may also serve as a performance test procedure.
CAUTION:DO NOT ATTEMPT ANY SERVICE WHILE THE INSTRUMENT
IS CONNECTED TO THE POWER SOURCE.
5.6.1. Maintenance Procedures
5.6.1.1. EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE
The exterior surfaces of the counting scale can be easily cleaned using soap and water.
12
For grease or other difficult spots, a chlorothane or naptha based cleaner may be used.
5.6.1.2.Internal Maintenance
Internal maintenance is not normally required and if it is, should not be attempted except
by a qualified, authorized service technician.
5.6.2.Calibration
The following procedure should be followed periodically (every six to twelve months is
suggested) to determine that the scale is functioning in all modes.
a.Electrical
Follow section 4.0 through all its steps.
b.Accuracy
Weighing: The scale weighing accuracy can be determined by applying various known
weights to the platform. Because of the scale's very high accuracy, only weights that are
certifiably more accurate than the scale's specifications should be used in testing for
accuracy. (NIST class "F" or higher)
Since the scale owner does not normally have such certifiable weights available to him, it is suggested
that the customer call their authorized DIGI dealer.
5.6.3. Service & Repair
No service or repair should be attempted except by qualified personnel, and not until it has been
positively determined that the weighing scale requires such service. All service should be done in a clean,
dry, dust-proof area.
