2 Installation
2.1 Precautions
This chapter gives detailed instructions and important information to install the Cub II scale successfully.
2.2 Environment
Before you install the scale, identify the best location for the equipment. The proper environment enhances its
operation and longevity. Keep in mind the following factors, which might have a negative influence on the scale's
operation:
+ Vibration
Vibration diminishes the scale’s ability to measure accurately. Electrical machinery such as conveyors and drill
presses can cause inaccurate and non-repeatable readings. The scale may also read inaccurately if it is not leveled
properly.
+ +Air current
Moving air can cause the scale to read an additional force (add. weight) and have the same effect as vibration.
+ +Friction
A scale cannot measure accurately if an object is rubbing or pressing against the plate.
2.3 Unpacking and inspection
Please inspect the package as it is delivered by the carrier. If the shipping container is damaged, check for internal
damage and file a freight claim with the carrier if necessary. If the container is undamaged, open the box, remove
the scale and place it on a solid, flat surface. Please keep the packing material and shipping insert in case you
need to return the scale to METTLER TOLEDO. The Cub II is a precision instrument and may be permanently
damaged if not shipped in factory approved packaging.

2.4 Setup
Open the box and pull up the scale, including the packing material. Remove the packing material from each side of
the scale.
Set the unit on a sturdy, level surface. Level the scale by turning the adjustable feet on the bottom of the unit. When
the bubble indicator is in the centre of the circle, Cub II is leveled correctly.
Bubble indicator: Good Wrong
All four feet must touch the surface to make sure that Cub II does not rock.
Put the platter on top of Cub II.
If no battery is in the scale, unpack the power adapter and plug it into the bottom of the scale. Plug the line cord
into a properly grounded AC power outlet.
2.5 Power up sequence and Turn Off the Scale
Press the power key turn on the Cub II. It goes through a series of self-tests when it is turned on. The scale
performs a diagnostic test on its ROM and RAM, and proceeds to normal operating mode. The power-up sequence
is as follows:
•
Light all segments of the display characters. This verifies operation of all segments.
•
Display the software part number, revision number, GEO value and battery type one by one.
•
Capture zero and be ready for normal operation.
Note: Before switching on the Cub II scale, always make sure there is nothing on the platter.
Press the power key until “OFF” is shown to turn off the scale.
