5 Screw the plug into the balance if applicable.
Note
Always connect the AC/DC adapter to the balance before connecting to the power.
Do not connect the instrument to a power outlet controlled by a switch. After switching on the instrument, it must
warm up before giving accurate results.
4.5.2 Switching on the balance
Before using the balance, it must be warmed up in order to obtain accurate weighing results. To reach operating
temperature, the balance must be connected to the power supply for at least 30 minutes (60 minutes for 0.1mg

4.5.4 Leveling the balance
Exact horizontal and stable positioning are essential for repeatable and accurate weighing results.
Leveling intervals
Check and - if necessary - adjust the bubble level:
• when the balance is used for the first time.
• after moving the balance to a new location.
• at regular intervals.
Leveling procedure
The balances are leveled manually by turning the leveling feet at the bottom of the housing.
1 Position the balance at the selected location.
2 Align the balance horizontally.
3 Turn the two front leveling feet of the housing until the air
bubble is in the middle of the glass.
Example
Air bubble at 12
turn both feet clockwise.

turn both feet counterclockwise.
o'clock:
Air bubble at 9
o'clock:
turn left foot counterclockwise, right foot

4.5.5 Adjusting the balance
To obtain accurate weighing results, the balance must be adjusted to match the gravitational acceleration at its
location. This is also dependent on the ambient conditions. After reaching the operating temperature, it is
important to adjust the balance in the following cases:
• Before the balance is used for the first time.
14Jewelry Balances
Page 21
• If the balance has been disconnected from the power supply or in the event of power failure.
• After significant environmental changes, e.g., temperature, humidity, air draft or vibrations.
• At regular intervals during weighing service.
