3.2 LOCATING

• The scales should not be placed in a location that will reduce the accuracy.

• Avoid extremes of temperature. Do not place the scale in direct sunlight or near air conditioning vents.

• Avoid unsuitable surfaces. The table or floor should be rigid and free from vibration.

• Avoid unstable power sources. Do not use the scale near large users of electricity such as welding equipment or large motors.

• Do not place the scale near vibrating machinery.

• Avoid high humidity that might cause condensation. Avoid

direct contact with water. Do not spray or immerse the scales in water.

• Avoid air movement such as from fans or opening doors. Do not place the scale near open windows or air-conditioning vents.

• Keep the scales clean. Do not stack material on the scales when they are not in use.

NOTE: When moving the scale, take care to prevent bending of the cable and connector too much as over a period of time this can weaken the wires in the connector and cause malfunction.

MOUNTING THE INDICATOR- The indicator attached to the bracket can be mounted in the

following 3 ways. To adjust the angle of the indicator, use the two thumb screws on the side of the bracket that connects the indicator.

1. Place it on the work bench- Simply place the indicator attached to the bracket on the work

bench at an angle.

2. Attach it to the base of the scale- There are two thumb screws on the base (opposite to the
