dashed;
If the balance not used for a long time, please clean it up, pack it by plastic bag with drier in;
Please pre-heat for 60 minutes before balance was used to raise the precision.
Part IV. Preparation before Use
Put the balance in a level position before use. Use the level adjust feet under the front place to adjust the
level until the bubble move to the center of the circle.
Put the balance on the stable and flat table , not on the shaking or vibrating plate, to make the balance stable .
(Recommend to use aseismic marble)
Avoid to put balance in the place with big temperature change or air flow, such as the place with direct
sunlight or cold air outlet.
Please use the separate power socket to avoid the interruption by other device.
Please do not put anything on the scale when power on the balance.
※Make balance adjust itself to the change of temperature
When change the balance from lower temperature to higher temperature or reverse, please put the balance in
the new environment for about 2 hours, then pre-heat the balance, make it conform with the new
temperature.

Repair and Maintenance
Repairing
Repairing must be done by the trained technicians.
Cleaning
Unplug the power adapter from the socket, if there is cable connecting with the balance interface ,

12
unplug the cable as well.
Clean the balance by a cloth soaked in neutral flush (soap) .
After cleaning, wipe the balance by a soft dry cloth.
Taking up the bracket to check the weighing system not damaged.
Don’t make the liquid flow into the shield of balance; Don’t use the corrosive flush(solvent) to clean the
stainless steel surface. All the stainless steel parts need to be flushed frequently, take out of all the stainless
steel parts and flush them completely, use the wet cloth or sponge to clean the stainless steel parts. Only use
the homely flush suitable to clean stainless steel parts.

vandalism all belong to warranty exclude the following case:
Balance out of warranty.
Damage caused by misuses such as long time under sunshine or receive corrosion.
The user does not obey the operation manual such as overloading the balance.
Without our authorized department or technician repairing, the user disassembly the balance on his own.
Any brute force application caused the damage of balance. E.g. throw the heavy loads to the pan, open
or shut the chamber door violently.
If you have any quality problem, please pack the product well together with the warranty card, then send it
to the local agent or distributor. We will repair it immediately and send it back within one week, otherwise,
we will replace the product. The sensor is not within warranty range.

Calibration of FPA Series Balance Internal/Linearity calibration
1) Remove all objects from pan, make sure the balance show zero,
2) Press CAL key for 5 seconds, it shows --CAL- , and then show ------, press ZERO/TARE key for 5 seconds, it shows
--CAL- again, then will show the first calibration weights, twinkling,
3) Put on the weights on the pan accordingly, it shows- , when it is stable, it shows the weights, remove the weights, it
shows- , and then shows the second calibration weights , twinkling,
4) Put on the weights on the pan accordingly, it shows- , when it is stable, it shows the weights, remove the weights, it turn
to zero automatically, the calibration is complete.
Note: We suggest you do external calibration too when you begin to use the balance. External calibration
1) Remove all objects from pan, make sure the balance show zero,
2) Press CAL key for 5 seconds, it shows --CAL- , and then show ------,and then show the calibration weights, twinkling,
3) Put on the weights , it shows ------ , when it is stable, it shows the weights, remove the weights, it turns to zero
automatically, the calibration is complete.
