Section 2: Getting Started
2.1. UNPACKING
Follow these guidelines when unpacking all equipment:
Check in all components and accessories according to the customer's order.
Remove all components from their packing material, checking against the
invoice that they are accounted for and not damaged.
• Advise the shipper immediately, if damage has occurred.
• Order any parts necessary to replace those which
have been damaged.
• Keep the shipping container and packing material for
future use.
• Check the packing list.
Collect all necessary installation manuals for the
equipment and accessories.
Open the equipment and perform an inspection, making
certain that all hardware, electrical connections, and
printed circuit assemblies are secure.
Do not reinstall the cover if the final installation is to be
performed after the pre-installation checkout.
2.2. EQUIPMENT LOCATION
Position the equipment with these points in mind:
Intense direct sunlight can harm the display.
Airborne particles can activate the touch screen.
Work areas should be relatively free from drafts and
vibrations.
Do not locate near magnetic material or equipment/instruments which use
magnets in their design.
Avoid areas which have extreme variations in room temperatures.
Temperatures outside the instrument’s specifications will affect the weighing
accuracy of this product.
07/2012 11 51254 Rev. 3
Section 2: Getting Started
2.3. SAFETY
Follow these safety precautions during operation:
Properly shut down the equipment and
remove power before any cables or
hardware is disconnected.
Unplug the power cord to the equipment
after a proper shut down before servicing
the equipment.
2.4. USERS’ RESPONSIBILITIES
All electronic and mechanical calibrations and/or adjustments required for
making this equipment perform to accuracy and operational specifications
should be performed by trained service personnel.
Absolutely no physical, electrical or program modifications other than selection
of standard options and accessories are to be made to this equipment.
─
Electrical connections other than those specified may not be
performed, and physical alterations (holes, etc.) are not allowed.
The equipment consists of printed circuit assemblies which must be handled
using ESD handling procedures, and must be replaced as units.
─
Replacement of individual components is not allowed.
