3.3 Component description
3.3.1 Draft shield
3.3.2 Weighing pan
The draft shield is a housing device that protects the
weighing area against environmental impacts like
drafts or moisture. The side doors can be opened
manually or automatically. The top door can be
opened manually.
The weighing pan is the load receptor that serves
directly to accommodate the weighing item.
3.3.3 Drip tray
3.3.4 Door handle
The drip tray is positioned below the weighing pan on
the weighing chamber base plate. The primary
purpose of a drip tray is that of a dirt trap to ensure
quick cleaning of the balance.
The door handles are mounted on the door slides and
are used to open the side and top doors of the draft
shield manually.
