ALT-BA-defsi-0410743 Fundamental information (general)3.1 Designated useThe balance you have acquired serves to determine the weighing value of thematerial to be weighed. It is intended to be used as a “non-automatic“ balance, i.e.the material to be weighed is manually and carefully placed in the centre of theweighing plate. The weighing value can be read off after a stable weighing value hasbeen obtained.3.2 Inappropriate useDo not use balance for dynamic add-on weighings, if small amounts of goods to beweighed are removed or added. The “stability compensation“ installed in the balancemay result in displaying an incorrect measuring value! (Example: Slowly drainingfluids from a container on the balance.)Do not leave a permanent load on the weighing plate. This can damage themeasuring system.Be sure to avoid impact shock and overloading the balance in excess of theprescribed maximum load rating (max.), minus any possible tare weight that isalready present. This could cause damage to the balance.Never operate the balance in hazardous locations. The series design is notexplosion-proof.Structural alterations may not be made to the balance. This can lead to incorrectweighing results, faults concerning safety regulations as well as to destruction of thebalance.The balance may only be used in compliance with the described guidelines.
