PRAXISDIENST PS 1000 Large Animal Scale

Safety and Warnings

Installation and service

CAUTION!
Risk of physical injury and material damage if used incorrectly!

The equipment contains no user serviceable components. Installation and maintenance of the equipment must only be carried out by trained and authorized personnel.
This scale is not built for high humidity, wet or corrosive applications. Keep away from liquids and use in a dry environment only. If liquid enters the junction box compartment, immediately open the cover, soak up any excess water and let air dry or use a hair dryer.
Allow sufficient warm up time for scale to stabilize before weighing.
Avoid extended exposure to extreme heat or cold. Use and store the scale in a dry environment with temperatures in the range of 5 – 35 °C.
Electronic scales are precision instruments. Do not operate near cell phones, radios, computers or other electronic devices that emit radio frequencies that may cause unstable readings.
Record the weight shortly after placing a load on the platter. Leaving loads in place for extended periods may vary the loadcell output signature and may result in a less accurate reading.
If the scale is stored for an extended period of time, batteries must be removed to avoid leakage.
If the indicator displays low battery, the batteries must be replaced.

Electrical installation

The mains lead must be connected to a supply outlet with a protective earth contact. The electrical supply at the socket outlet must provide over current protection of an appropriate rating. For your protection all mains equipment used out of doors or in wet or damp conditions should be supplied from a correctly fused source and protected by an approved ground fault protection device (RCD, GFCI etc.). If in doubt seek advice from a qualified electrician.

Routine maintenance

To avoid the possibility of electric shock or damage to the machine, always switch off the machine and isolate from the power supply before carrying out any routine maintenance. To avoid the risk of the machine falling, where applicable, ensure that it is placed securely on a flat and level surface.

Cleaning

Do not clean the scale with running water or a high pressure hose.
Use ONLY a wet cloth to clean the scale.

Operation

Power up the Indicator

Either install 4 AAA alkaline batteries (PS 1000/2000) or a 6V4AH lead acid battery (PS 3000) into the battery compartment of the indicator or plug the AC adapter into the indicator.
