Installing Your Balance
SETUP
1. Locating your balance
The rugged design of your Setra balance ensures that it will withstand most
environmental conditions it might encounter. Nonetheless, you should treat
your balance as you would any piece of precision equipment, locating it away
from extremes of draft and vibration.
2. Levelling your balance
To level your balance, adjust the two front feet on the bottom of the balance, until
the bubble on the left front corner of the keyboard is centered inside the circle
(see FIGURE 1).
3. Installing the weighing pan
Next, you should place the pan to your balance over the shaft (or rubber guides
on the Model 12000L - see special assembly instructions included), on the top
of the unit.
4. Connecting your balance to an AC outlet
To connect your balance to an AC outlet, insert the appropriate end of the A.C.
adaptor into an electrical outlet. Now connect the other end into the back of the
balance (see FIGURE 1). Once you have plugged your scale into a live outlet,
it is automatically on. The balance itself, when not in use, draws very little current
from an outlet, and may be left connected. For best accuracy, allow the balance
to warm up for 45 minutes prior to use.
5. Calibration
It is recommended that you calibrate your balance prior to initial use to allow for
gravitational differences between your location and the factory. Follow the
procedure outlined in Appendix II, “Calibration.”
