The TORBAL Precision scale is a sensitive and a delicate instrument. Always handle your scale with care.
The correct location and proper environment makes an important contribution to the accuracy of the weighing
results of TORBAL precision scales.
The optimum location for your scale:
•Stable, vibration-free base as horizontal as possible
•Away from direct sunlight
•Not exposed to high temperature variations
•Away from direct drafts
•The best location is on a stable bench away from direct drafts, doors, windows, radiators and air
conditioner vents.
CAUTION:
•The scale is designed for indoor use only..
•Do not operate the scale in hazardous areas or conditions.
•Do not use the scale in locations subject to high humidity or dust levels.
•Do not connect cables in ways other than those mentioned in this manual.
•Be sure to set the scale on a firm, stable, horizontal surface.
•Never stand on or lean on this product. Equipment may fall or collapse,
causing breakage and possible injury.
•Before moving the product, unplug it and unplug all cables connected to it.
•When storing, transporting or returning the scale for service, always use the
original packaging.
WARNING:
•Never attempt to repair, disassemble or modify the scale yourself. Tampering
with the scale may result in injury and cause more damage to the equipment.
•Be sure to use the specified power source.
•Do not allow foreign matter to fall into the scale.
•If water or other liquid spills into the scale, do not continue to use it. Unplug
the power cord immediately and contact technical support.
