2.4. NOISE LEVEL

The weighing device works in combination with a wrapping machine. For the noise
level, refer to the values indicated in the instructions for the use of the wrapping
machine to which the weighing device is combined.

2.5. INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT CHARACTERISTICS

Careful consideration must be given to the place where the machine is
to be installed, in order to ensure that it may be easily operated, without
creating any unnecessary risks for personnel.

Therefore we suggest the following prerequisites:

– suitable room temperature (See "Technical data");

– a suitably aired place so that when the machine is working, the degree of

humidity is not unpleasantly high/low from the point of view of the operator;

– a sufficient lighting in order that a pleasant, relaxing working environment is

created for the operator;

– a boundary area that must be left around the machine for safety reasons;

– a flat surface, steady and without vibrations with adequate weight

supporting capacity, also in consideration of the palletised loads to be
wrapped;

– The area must be equipped with a power supply socket and a compressed air

supply socket.

Danger warning

Use of this machine in explosive environments or when exposed to
the elements is strictly forbidden.
