2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Installing Components
Refer to the illustrations and instructions below to identify and assemble your Scout balance
with its components. All components must be assembled before using the balance.

EN-2 SCOUTTM SJX SERIES BALANCES
2.1.1 Releasing the Transportation Lock
Release the red transportation lock by turning
the red pointer 90 degrees counter-clockwise
to unlock.
Figure 2-1. Transportation Lock
Note:
For SJXN models, the shipping lock needs to be removed (by pulling it out) before installing the
pan.
2.1.2 Installing the Weighing Pan
For SJX/E
Balances with a rectangular pan are placed into the sub-platform as shown and rotated counter-
clockwise until it locks. Round pans are placed straight down on sub-pan.
Figure 2-2. Pan Installation (for SJX/E)
For SJX
Install the stainless steel pan directly on the subplatform.
2.1.3 Security Slot
A security slot is provided at the rear of the balance allowing the balance to be secured by an
optional cable and lock accessory.
2.2 Selecting the Location
For best performance, the Scout balance should be used in a clean, stable environment. Do not
use the balance in environments with excessive drafts, with rapid temperature changes, near
magnetic fields or near equipment that generates magnetic fields, or vibrations.
2.3 Leveling the Balance
The Scout has an illuminated level indicator as a reminder that the balance should be leveled
for accurate weighing. There is a level bubble in a small round window on the front of the
Balance. To level the balance, adjust the feet at each corner until the bubble is centered in the
circle. Be sure the equipment is level each time its location is changed.

2.4 Connecting Power
AC Adapter Installation
AC power is used to power the scale when battery power is not needed. First, connect the AC
Adapter (supplied) to the AC Adapter Input Jack at the rear of the balance then connect the AC
plug to an electrical outlet.

Battery Installation
Install the four “AA” batteries with polarity as shown in the battery compartment.
Note:
After power on, it is recommended to let the balance warm for at least 5 minutes before using it.
2.5 Initial Calibration
When the Balance is first installed, and when it is moved to another location, it must be
calibrated to ensure accurate weighing results.
For SJX/E models, the balances must be calibrated by using the external calibration weights.
For SJX models, the balances have built in internal calibration system which can calibrate the
balance without the need for external calibration masses. Alternately, the SJX balances can be
manually calibrated with external masses.
Have the appropriate calibration masses available before beginning calibration. Refer to the
Calibration Section for masses and calibration procedure.
