2. Startup Procedure
2.1 Safety Measures
The Printer has been tested for the connections and intended purposes
documented in these Operating Instructions. However, it is your
responsibility to perform the necessary tests related to the methods and
purposes of its intended use. Therefore, you should observe the following
safety measures.
The printer must be used indoors only, and never in
hazardous areas.
The electronics of the printer are protected against the
ingress of splashing water and dust. However, since the
printer housing is not watertight, the printer should not be
used in the presence of liquids.
Comply with cleaning instruction (see chapter 6.3), protect
power plug against wet conditions.
Never open the printer housing. If you have any problems
with your printer, please contact your responsible OHAUS
service.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the
manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment
may be impaired.
2.2 Power Supply
Your printer is supplied with an AC adapter with a country-specific power
cable. The power supply is suitable for all line voltages in the range: 100
240 VAC, 50 60 Hz (for exact specifications, see chapter 11).
Attention
First, check the local line voltage is in the range 100
240 VAC, 50 - 60 Hz and whether the power plug fits
your local power supply connection. If this is not the
case, on no account connect the printer or the AC
adapter to the power supply, but contact the
responsible OHAUS dealer.
Only plug the adapter into a socket which is
grounded.
Important
Before operating, check all cables for damage.
Guide the cables so that they cannot become damaged
or interfere with the weighing process.
Make sure that the AC adapter cannot come into
contact with liquids
The power plug must always be accessible.
