A place exposed to direct sunlight
A place frequently exposed to vibration
On an unstable floor or table.
A place directly exposed to wind, cold air, or hot air.
A place directly exposed to cold air from a cooler or refrigerator. A place exposed to hot air from an air condi-
tioner or heater. A place exposed to wind from a fan or other pneumatic device.
A dusty place
A place provided with fluctuating power supply voltage
Use of an electrical outlet also being used for a vibrator, radio, or other noise sources may affect the performance
of the scale. Be sure to provide an outlet exclusively for use by the scale. Also avoid putting many loads on one
electrical outlet.

Push the extra length of cable protruding from the bracket pipe base into the display pole.
Do not pull strongly on the load cell cable
when pushing it into the display pole. Other-
wise, it may be cut.
If the cable covering material is scratched,
water may penetrate into the cable and cause
unreliable weighing, or the core material may
corrode and cause the scale to fail.
3. Stand the Display Pole against the Bracket Pipe Base.
Stand the display pole against the bracket pipe base by fitting it at its load cell cable side into
the tongue of the bracket pipe base.
