vibrating machinery.
Avoid high humidity that might cause condensation, and
keep away from direct contact with water.
Do not p ace near open windows, air-conditioning vents or
fans that may cause a draft and unstab e readings.
Keep the ba ances c ean, and do not stack materia on the
ba ance when it is not in use. The Core

shou d be known to an accuracy that is appropriate for the ba ance being ca ibrated,
for examp e, OIML C ass M1 type or ASTM E617 C ass 4. If you do not have the
correct weights do not attempt ca ibration.
