Practical help
Common problems
Unstable weighing results
Ensure the balance is placed on a stable, vibration-free surface and use the 'Function for averaging under unstable weighing conditions'.
Inaccurate measurements
Ensure the balance has warmed up for at least 8 hours and verify that the device is level using the level indicator and adjustable feet.
Temperature errors
Ensure the ambient temperature is maintained between 10 °C and 30 °C.
Before use
- Verify the balance is placed on a stable, vibration-free surface.
- Ensure the power supply matches 220-240V AC, 50Hz.
- Check that the draught shield is clean and properly closed.
- Perform internal calibration if necessary.
- Check that the device is level using the level indicator.
