10 Unpacking, Setup and Commissioning10.1 Installation Site, Location of UseThe balances are designed in a way that reliable weighing results are achieved incommon conditions of use.You will work accurately and fast, if you select the right location for your balance.On the installation site observe the following:• Place scales on a stable, even surface;• Avoid extreme heat as well as temperature fluctuation caused by installingnext to a radiator or in the direct sunlight;• Protect the balance against direct draughts due to open windows and doors;• Avoid jarring during weighing;• Protect the balance against high humidity, vapours and dust;• Do not expose the device to extreme dampness for longer periods of time.Non-permitted condensation (condensation of air humidity on the appliance)may occur if a cold appliance is taken to a considerably warmer environment.In this case, acclimatize the disconnected appliance for ca. 2 hours at roomtemperature.• Avoid static charge of the balance and of the person to be weighed.• Avoid contact with water.Major display deviations (incorrect weighing results) may be experienced shouldelectromagnetic fields (e.g. due to mobile phones or radio equipment), staticelectricity accumulations or instable power supply occur. Change location or removesource of interference.10.2 UnpackingRemove the individual components of the balance or the complete balance from thepackaging with care and install at the intended location. When using the power pack,ensure that the power cable does not produce a risk of stumbling.20 MPE_HM / MPE_PM-BA-e-1520
