ECONOMY COUNTING SCALE
PREPARING THE SCALE FOR USE
The Xpress XTCII is a new generation counting scale. With high internal and display resolution as well as a
unique profile, the XTCII can widely be used in counting applications in the electronics, metals, plastics and
other such industries. The Xpress XTCII is ready to use right out of the box.
This manual provides not only the detailed information on how to operate the scale, but also useful
messages for service and maintenance.
Please read the manual thoroughly and familiarize yourself with all the safety requirements. All service
procedures must only be performed by authorized personnel.
This chapter gives detailed instructions and important information regarding the successful installation of the
Xpress Economy Counting Scale.
ENVIRONMENT
Before you install the scale, identify the best location for the equipment. The proper environment enhances
its operation and longevity. Keep in mind the following factors, which might have a negative influence on
the scale's operation:
Vibration: Vibration diminishes the scale’s ability to measure accurately. Electrical machinery such as
conveyors and drill presses can cause inaccurate and non-repeatable readings. The scale may also read
inaccurately if it is not leveled properly.
Air currents: Moving air can cause the scale to read wind movement as an additional force and cause
inconsistency in the weighing results.
Friction: A scale cannot measure accurately if an object is rubbing or pressing against the scale platform.
UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
Please inspect the package immediately upon receipt. If the box is damaged, check for internal damage and
file a freight claim with the carrier if necessary. If the container is undamaged, open the box, remove the
scale and place it on a solid, flat surface. Please keep the packing material and shipping insert in case you
need to return the scale to an MT Xpress representative.
