4. Start Up:
Unpack the balance. Save the packing container for future use.
The balance requires very stable power. It works on 230V AC supply
with PROPER EARTHING. The power outlet used for the balance should not
be shared with any other devices which draws current in inconsistent manner
likeAir Conditioner or Refrigerator etc.
For best results, the balance should be placed on a level surface which
is free from drafts. It should not be exposed to direct sunlight or radiated heat.
Table used for balance should be sturdy and should not transmit vibration from
other equipments and free from the movement of people. No vibration
producing equipment should be operated on the same platform as balance.
Power is supplied to the scale through a 3 core AC mains cord attached
to the scale. Insert the 3 pin plug of the power supply onto a proper mains
outlet. Switch on the balance using the switch on the scale.
Scale goes through self test and subsequently starts displaying weight.
Press key to display zero weight.
NOW THE SCALE IS READY FOR WEIGHING.
With battery backup option, there is a need to charge the battery regularly
to prevent loss of backup time. The scale can be switched off using the switch
provide on the scale. Do not switch off the main power to the scale even when the
scale is not in use. Keeping the mains power on will charge the battery and will be
ready to use when the input power fails.
