B
B
A
A
Exact horizontal positioning and stable installation are prerequisites for repeatable and accurate weighing
results.
Note
To compensate for small irregularities or inclinations (±2 %) at the location, the instrument must be leveled
and adjusted each time it is moved to a new location.
The balance can be levelled with the leveling assistant and/or with the level indicator on top of the terminal.
There are two adjustable leveling feet to compensate for slight irregularities in the surface of the weighing
bench.
4.5.1Leveling the balance with the level indicator
All balances have a level indicator with an air bubble to level the balance manually.
Leveling balances with readability of 0.1 mg and 1 mg

4.8General requirements
4.8.1Warming up the balance
Before working with 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 for balances with a readability of 1mg (0.01ct) to 5g.
●
60 minutes for balances with a readability of 0.1mg (0.001ct) and higher.
4.8.2Adjusting the balance
To obtain accurate weighing results, the balance must be adjusted to match the gravitational acceleration at its
location and depending on the ambient conditions. After reaching the operation temperature, an adjusting is
necessary in the following cases:
●
Before the balance is used for the first time.
●
When the balance (readability of 0.1 mg) was disconnected from the power or in case of power failure.
●
After a change of location and after the warming-up phase.
●
At regular intervals during weighing service.
