5  Unpacking, Setup and Commissioning 
5.1  Installation Site, Location of Use 
The balances are designed in a way that reliable weighing results are achieved in 
common conditions of use. 
You will work accurately and fast, if you select the right location for your balance. 
Therefore, observe the following for the installation site: 
  Place the balance on a firm, level surface; 
  Avoid  extreme  heat  as  well  as  temperature  fluctuation  caused  by  installing 
next to a radiator or in the direct sunlight; 
  Protect the balance against direct draughts due to open windows and doors; 
  Avoid jarring during weighing; 
  Protect the balance against high humidity, vapours and dust; 
  Do not expose the device to extreme dampness for longer periods of time. 
Non-permitted condensation (condensation of air humidity on the appliance) 
may occur if a cold appliance is taken to a considerably warmer environment. 
In this case, acclimatize the disconnected appliance for ca. 2 hours at room 
temperature. 
  Avoid static charge of goods to be weighed or weighing container. 
Major display deviations (incorrect weighing results) may be experienced should 
electromagnetic fields (e.g. due to mobile phones or radio equipment), static 
electricity accumulations or instable power supply occur. Change location or remove 
source of interference. 
5.2  Unpacking 
Carefully remove the weighing balance from the packaging and install it at the 
designated work place.
