2.3 Setting Up
Place the scale on a solid, level surface away from fans, breezes, and sources of electrical interference or
magnetic fields. The installation location should also be free from high humidity, direct sunlight, or excessive
dust. The operating temperature is 0 - 40º C.
Level the scale by turning the four adjustable legs located on the bottom of the scale while referencing the bubble
level located on the front of the scale (see
Figure 2-1).
NOTE: To ensure a higher degree of scale stability, turn all four adjustable legs al the way in before leveling. Turn the adjustable
legs out to level as needed.
