Warnings

For your protection, all mains (110V or 230V) equipment used where
damp or wet conditions may occur, must be supplied from a correctly
fused source and protected by an approved RCD to BS7071 or BS7288
or IEC1008-2-2 BS EN 61008:1995. IF IN DOUBT SEEK ADVICE
FROM A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

To avoid the possibility of electric shock or damage to the machine,
always isolate from the mains power supply before carrying out any
routine maintenance.

Cleaning the scale

Harsh abrasives, solvents, scouring cleaners and alkaline cleaning
solutions, such as washing soda, should not be used especially on the
display windows. Under no circumstances should you attempt to wipe
the inside of the machine.

The outside of the machine may be wiped down with a clean cloth
moistened with water containing a small amount of washing up liquid.

Installation

Make sure that the work surface is firm, steady and free from vibration
and draughts.

To avoid the risk of RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) it is important to
ensure that the machine is placed on a surface which is ergonomically
satisfactory to the user. In cases where usage is prolonged EN614-1
recommends frequent breaks for the user.

Sampling

The method that you use to sample will depend on whether the items
that you intend to count are high or low value and whether the items
vary slightly in weight:

*See management mode.

When sampling items that have a large weight variation it is advisable
to use a large sample size and either manual or automatic re-sampling.

Fast sampling

The greater the number of items used to sample with, the more
accurate the scale will be.

Note: If the minimum sample weight in management mode is active
(see Page 14), then If the sample weight is too light, the scale will ask
you to put some more items onto the scale:

Re-sampling

Once you have sampled a group of items, you can add an equal or
greater amount to the scale and then re-sample. This will increase the
sample size and improve the counting accuracy.

tare, an item weight or both.

All PLUs can be protected to avoid being accidentally changed or
cleared in management mode (see page 15).
