REQUIREMENTS FOR AN OPTIMAL INSTALLATION
To obtai the maximum performa ce a d the best results, we recomme d
i stalli g the bala ce accordi g to the followi g requireme ts:
a) I stall it o a firm a d stable surface.
b) Place it o a stable base free of vibratio s.
c) Do ´t expose it to direct su light.
d) Do ´t submit it to atmospheres with corrosive gases.
e) Keep it i a e viro me t free of dust a d dirt.
f) Work at temperatures betwee 15º a d 30º C.
g) Use the bala ce i e viro me ts with humidity lower tha 95% HR.
h) Keep the bala ce away from equipme t that produces mag etic or acoustic
i terfere ces.
i) Calibrate it i its defi itive place of use a d check it regularly with a calibratio
weight (optio al), if ecessary, recalibrate it.
Unpacking
U pack the bala ce carefully. I side the carto you will fi d the followi g
compo e ts:
1. This operatio ma ual (please, read it before usi g the bala ce).
2. A bala ce Series AH
3. A stai less steel pa
4. A AC/Adaptor of 12 V / 800 mA; do ´t use a y other adaptor, it could damage
the bala ce.
5. A CD-ROM with USB adaptor.
6. A USB cable
7. Five pieces of wi dshield.
VERY IMPORTANT Keep the origi al package. It could be useful i the future i
tra sporti the bala ce.

INSTALLATION
1. Remove the package from the carto .
2. Remove the pa from the cardboard.
3. Remove the AC/Adaptor (it is i side a white box).
3. Take out the bala ce from its protectio a d place it o its defi itive place of
use, which should be a flat, o -metallic, most stable a d rigid surface.
4. Put the stai less steel pa o the pa support.
5. Level the bala ce by tur i g the four adjustable feet u til the bubble level
located o left fro tal side remai s i the ce tre of the circle.
6. Co ect the AC/Adaptor to the bala ce´s co ector a d the to a outlet of
220/240 V. 50 Hz..
7. Calibrate the bala ce with a proper calibratio weight. This actio is very
importa t i order to obtai accurate weighi g results.
8. For maximum accuracy, it is ecessary to keep the bala ce co ected for about
60 mi utes before usi g it. However, the bala ce ca also be used immediately
with good results.
