Precautions
To get the optimum performance from the balance and acquire accurate weighing data, note the
following:
□ Install the balance in an environment where the temperature and humidity are not excessive.
The best operating temperature is about 20°C±2°C at about 45 ~ 60%RH relative humidity.
□ Install the balance where it is free of dust.
□ The weighing table should be solid, free from vibration and drafts, and as level as possible.
(An anti-vibration table or stone table is ideal)
□ Install the balance in a stable place avoiding vibration and shock. Corners of rooms on the first floor
are best, as they are less prone to vibration.
□ Install the balance where it is not affected by heaters or air conditioners.
□ Install the balance where it is not exposed to direct sunlight.
□ Install the balance away from equipment which produces magnetic fields.
□ Level the balance by adjusting the leveling feet and confirm
it using the bubble spirit level.
□ Warm up the balance for at least 30 minutes. Plug in the AC
adapter as usual.
□ Calibrate the balance before use or after moving it to
another location. Refer to the separate instruction manual
"7. Calibration".
About the GX-AWP/GF-AWP series
□ The dustproof and waterproof level of the balance is equivalent to IP65, and its second digit, "5",
corresponds to "having no harmful influence by receiving direct jet of water". Washing with strong
water pressure or submersion in water may cause water to enter the balance and cause a
malfunction.
□ When installing and using the balance under conditions requiring dustproof and waterproof
performance, make sure that the AC adapter plug is fully inserted into the AC adapter jack and that
the terminal cover is attached to the RS-232C interface or the waterproof RS-232C cable
(AXKO2737-500) is used.
□ If the RS-232C terminal cover is removed or the waterproof RS-232C cable (AX-KO2737-500) is not
used, protection against dust and water is not provided.
Caution
Do not install the balance where flammable or corrosive gas is present.
