Note: Zero calibration should be performed when scale

continually accumulates or subtracts weight while belt is empty.

Refer to description below:

• Lockout/Tagout before installing unit.

• Have qualified electrician installed power to unit.

• Do not install display in direct sunlight, freezing

• Scale should be mounted in lower half of conveyor, away
