Improper use or handling can result in damage and/or injury. The pallet
or flat-bed scale must be installed and operated by qualified personnel.
Make sure you observe the warning and safety information in its entirety
during installation and operation, as well as while performing mainte-
nance and repair work on the equipment. The standards, regulations,
occupational safety requirements and environmental protection laws
valid in your country must be observed. It is important that all personnel
using the equipment understand this warning and safety information,
and have access to the relevant documents at all times. Furthermore,
the warning and safety information supplied with any electrical equip-
ment connected, such as peripheral devices, must be observed as well.
The warnings and safety precautions may have to be supplemented by
the equipment operator. All operating personnel must be informed of
any additions to these instructions. Make sure the equipment is
accessible at all times.

Intended Use

The weighing platform is a component of a modular scale, consisting
of the weighing platform and an indicator (which is comprised of an
analog/digital converter and a display and operator terminal), such as
a Combics CIXS3 indicator or an FCT01-X weighing terminal.
Each indicator or terminal comes with a separate installation and
operating manual.
Note:
Verifiable models ("-.CE") can be verified for use as a scale only when
connected to an indicator.
Read the installation and operating instructions carefully before con-
necting the IU/IF weighing platform and putting it into operation.

Warnings and Safety Precautions

General Provisions for Installing IUXS.., IUXS...CE, IFXS.. and IFXS...CE
Models
- The area of use for IUXS.., IUXS...CE, IFXS.. and IFXS...CE models is
defined in the type-examination certificate. All restrictions listed in the
type-examination certificate must be strictly observed. Operating the
IUXS.., IUXS...CE, IFXS.. and IFXS...CE models beyond the restrictions
indicated is not permitted, and is considered use of the equipment for
other than its intended purpose. Any installation work that does not
conform to the instructions in this manual will result in forfeiture of all
claims under the manufacturer's warranty. If you use the equipment in
a hazardous area outside Germany, you must comply with the national
electrical code and safety regulations applicable in your country.
Ask your supplier for information on the legal regulations applicable in
your country.

- If the equipment housing is opened by anyone other than persons
authorized by Minebea Intec, this will negate its conformity with regula-
tions governing its use and result in forfeiture of all claims under the
manufacturer's warranty.
- Installation of the indicator must be performed by a certified electrician
who is familiar with the assembly, start-up and operation of both the
system and the relevant guidelines and regulations, and has the required
qualifications for performing the installation. If you need assistance,
contact your Minebea Intec dealer or the Minebea Intec Service Center.
- Avoid static electricity. The intrinsically safe weighing platform is con-
nected to the indicator by the shield of the connecting cable. Connect
an equipotential bonding conductor. Disconnecting equipotential bond-
ing conductors is not permitted. The grounding conductor is connected
to a threaded bolt or terminal screw, or a bore hole is provided. This bore
hole is marked by a "ground" symbol. If a bore hole is provided, use a
stainless steel screw and nut to connect the grounding conductor.
Use of a tooth lock washer is recommended to prevent the screw from
coming loose. The wire used for the grounding conductor should have
a cross-sectional diameter of at least 4 mm
attached. Connect all equipment, including peripheral devices, to the
equipotential bonding conductor.
- If the weighing platform is moved within the hazardous area (rate of
speed: < 1 m/sec), it maybe necessary to connect an additional ground-
ing conductor to the weighing platform (available from Minebea Intec).
- If no interface cable is connected, place a protective cap over the female
interface connector.
For the User
- Always make sure the equipment is disconnected from AC power before
performing any installation, cleaning, maintenance or repair work on the
scale.
- If you see any indication that the scale cannot be operated safely
(for example, due to damage), turn it off and lock it in a secure place or
otherwise prevent use of the equipment for the time being.
Note:
If the scale has been verified, the seals affixed to the equipment indicate
that only authorized service technicians are allowed to open the scale
and perform maintenance work, so that safe and trouble-free operation
of the equipment is ensured and the warranty remains in effect. (IUXS..,
IUXS...CE, IFXS.. or IFXS...CE models can be verified for use in legal
metrology only when connected to a terminal or indicator, such as the
Combics CIXS3 indicator or FCT01-X weighing terminal). If any of the
verification seals are damaged, make sure to observe the national regula-
tions and standards applicable in your country in such cases. In some
countries, the verification becomes null and void and the equipment
must be re-verified.
- Chemicals (e.g., gases or dusts) that can corrode and damage the inside
or outside of the device must be kept away from the equipment. Handle
the equipment and any accessories in accordance with the IP rating
(IP65 or higher) and EN 60529.
- The casing on all connecting cables, as well as the casing on wires inside
the equipment housing, is made of PVC. The casing of the power cable
is made of rubber.
- Do not expose the scale to aggressive chemical vapors or to extreme
temperatures, moisture, shocks, or vibration. The allowable operating
temperature range during operation is -20 to +40°C (-4 to +104°F)
or, for verified instruments, -10 to +40°C (+14 to +104°F). Make sure
the place of installation is adequately ventilated to prevent build-up of
excessive heat.
- If you use cables purchased from another manufacturer, check the pin
assignments in the cable against those specified by Minebea Intec before
connecting the cable to Minebea Intec equipment, and disconnect any
wires that are assigned differently. The operator shall be solely responsi-
ble for any damage or injuries that occur when using cables not supplied
by Minebea Intec.
- Use only genuine Minebea Intec spare parts.
