 1.4 Commissioning

1.4.1 Selecting the location

The correct location is crucial for the accuracy of the weighing results.
1 Select a stable, vibration-free and, if possible, a horizontal location for
the weighing platform.
ð The ground must be able to safely bear the weight of the fully
loaded weighing platform.
2 Observe the following environmental conditions:
ð No direct sunlight
ð No strong drafts
ð No excessive temperature fluctuations

1.4.2 Levelling

Levelling of weighing platforms

Only weighing platforms that have been levelled precisely horizontally,
provide accurate weighing results. Weights and Measures approved
weighing platforms have a level bubble to simplify levelling.
- Turn the adjustable feet of the weighing platform until the level bubble’s
air bubble is inside the inner circle.

Levelling of compact scales ICS685-.../f

On compact scales levelling can be done in an easier way.
1 2

Output Setting output options
Threshold as % of Tol– Threshold to determine at which weight the status of Tol– is indicated.
To avoid Tol– being active at zero or a very low weight, you can define
the "Threshold as % of Tol–".
When Threshold as % of Tol– is reached, the colored display will change
from the "Below threshold" color to the "Tolerance –" color.
This feature can be used to show the "Tolerance –" color close to the
target or as additional setpoint for I/O control.
This setpoint is available on the optional digital I/O interface as well.
Example: Target = 1000 g, Tol– = 100 g
Threshold = x % * (Target – (Tol–))
Threshold = 12 % * (1000 g – 100 g) = 12 % * 900 g = 108 g

11.1 Metrological information
Scales that have been factory-calibrated have a label indicating this
on the packaging.
Scales with a green M on the type plate are ready for operation.
M
Scales that are calibrated in two stages have a label indicating this
on the packaging.
These scales have only been calibrated in a first stage (declaration
M
of conformity in accordance with EN 45501-8.2). The second stage
of the calibration must be done on-site by authorized service
personnel. Please contact your local representative.

Medium accuracy scales that are used in commerce where certified calibration is required must be
calibrated and certified.
Observe the respective measurement data guidelines in your country.

11.2 Table of Geo Code values

For weighing instruments verified at the manufacturer’s, the Geo Code value indicates the country or
geographical zone for which the instrument is verified. The Geo Code value set in the instrument
(e.g. "Geo 18") appears briefly after switching on.
Table "Geo Code values 3000e" shows the Geo Code values for European countries.
