1. General description
This manual describes scales produces by AXIS Sp. z o.o. and their basic functions. Standard
execution scales are equipped with ME-01/A/LED meter and stainless steel scales with ME-01/N/LED.
In case of using these meters or special meter for eg. batching meter it is essential to use proper user
manual for individual meter type.
All balances are tested in respect of metrology. According to order, balances may be verified or
calibrated.
EC verification (conformity assessment) of balances is required for special applications (trade, tariffs,
pharmacy recipes, medical and pharmaceutical analysis, packing of goods). For other applications it is
recommended to replace verification with calibration.
Verified balances have the following verification features:
- protection stamps, located on balance meter and converters connection box (installed under the bearing
surface).
- Office of Measures marks and green metrological mark, located on the rating plate.
Balances classification (PKWiU code) 29.24.23.

6. Security rules
To avoid electrical shock or damage of the scale or
connected peripheral devices, it is necessary to follow the
security rules below.
To supply scale use socket with safety contact (scales with feeder exluded).
All repairs and necessary regulations can be made by authorised personnel only.
To avoid fire risk use a feeder of an appropriate type (supplied with the scale).
Pay attention that supply voltage is compatible with specified technical data.
Do not use the scale when its cover is opened.
Do not use the scale in explosive conditions.
Do not use the scale in high humidity.
If the scale seems not to operate properly, unplug it from the mains and do not
use until checked by authorised service.
According to legal regulations it if forbidden to dispose
wasted electronic equipment in waste containers.
Please return wasted scale to the point of purchase or other company specialised
in recycling of wasted electronic components.
