2 Safety instructions
2.1 General safety information
Follow these safety precautions:
-The equipment may only be used as intended for weighing tasks.
-The device may only be opened by authorised personnel.
-Observe the operating limits of the device.
-Ensure that the supply voltage at the installation site matches the AC input voltage
indicated on the data label.
-Avoid shock stress (falling down, hard shocks, falling loads, any impact from the side).
-Do not use the equipment in hazardous areas and unstable environments.
-Do not expose the equipment to aggressive chemical vapors or to unnecessarily
extreme temperatures, moisture, or vibration.
-Unplug the device before you connect or disconnect any electronic peripheral devices
to or from the interface port.
-Unplug the power cord from the mains supply before cleaning.
-Make sure that no liquid enters the equipment.
-Do not use loads that exceed the capacity of the scale.
2.2 Incoming goods inspection
The shipment must be checked for completeness. A visual inspection must be performed
to determine if the shipment has been damaged. If there are grounds for a complaint, this
must be brought to the attention of the delivery company immediately. A Minebea Intec
sales or service point must be informed. Visit our website http://www.puroscales.com or
contact your dealer.
2.3 Before operational startup
NOTICE
Perform visual inspection.
Before operational startup as well as after storage or transport, inspect the product
visually for signs of mechanical damage.

3.2 Requirements on location
-Set up the device on a stable, even surface.
-Position the device so that the power plug is freely accessible and the power cord is
not an obstacle or trip hazard.
-Avoid placing the device in close proximity to a heater or otherwise exposing the
scale to heat or direct sunlight.
-Do not expose the device to excessive temperature utuations.
-Protect the device from drafts that come from open windows or doors.
-Avoid exposing the device to extreme vibrations during weighing.
-Protect the device from aggressive chemical vapors.
-Do not expose the device to extreme moisture over long periods.
NOTICE
Acclimatizing the device
Condensation can form on the surfaces of a cold device when it is brought into a
substantially warmer area.
Unplug the device from the power supply and allow it to acclimatize for about 2
hours at room temperature.
3.3 Leveling the equipment
Purpose:
-to compensate for unevenness at the place of installation
-to ensure that the device is placed in a perfectly horizontal position for consistently
reproducible weighing results
Always re-level the device any time after it has been moved to a dierent location.
. Level the scale using the four leveling feet.
. Ensure that all leveling feet make contact with the oor.
. Turn the feet until the air bubble is centered in the level indicator.
Each of the leveling feet must support an equal load.

EN-6 Minebea Intec

3.4 Power supply
AC power is used to power the scale when battery power is not needed.
Plug the USB-C plug into the USB-C jack on the bottom of the unit, then plug the AC
power supply into a wall outlet.
Note:
Do not use the USB-C power supply cable for the PC communication. Instead use a
standard USB-C cable.
3.4.1 Battery Power
The scale can be used on AC power immediately. Allow the battery to charge for 12 hours
before using the scale on battery power. The Scale will automatically switch to battery
operation if there is a power failure or the power cord is removed. With AC power, the
scale is constantly charging, so the battery charge indicator (see Chapter 4.1.1.2) will
remain lit. The scale can be operated during charging, and the battery is protected
against overcharging.
When the device is switched on, the battery status LED lights red while the battery is
charging and green when the battery is fully charged.
For maximum operating time, the battery should be charged at room temperature.
During battery operation, the battery symbol indicates the battery charge level
remaining. The indicator will automatically turn o when the batteries are empty.
Symbol Charge level
0 to 10 % Remaining
11 to 40 % Remaining
41 to 70 % Remaining
71 to 100 % Remaining
Note:
When battery symbol blinks fast, approximately 30 minutes working time is left.
When [lo.bat] is displayed, the scale will shut o.
Charging the scale must be performed in a dry environment.
. Adjusting the leveling feet: To raise the scale, extend the leveling feet (turn
clockwise). To lower the weighing platform, retract the leveling feet (turn
counterclockwise).
