Best Conditions For Weighing
The Scale must be level (check the spirit level on the scale).
Best operating temperature is between 20°C~25°C / 68°F~77°F at about 50%~60%
Relative Humidity. There shouldn’t be large temperature fluctuations.
The weighing room should be kept clean and dry.
The weighing table must be of a solid construction.
Corners of rooms are best as they are less prone to vibrations.
Don’t install the scale near heaters or air conditioners.
