MAINTENANCE: Cleaning and calibration
Your balance requires only very little maintenance: it should be cleaned regularly and calibrated periodically.
Before checking calibration, the balance should be left connected to the power source for 30 minutes (warm-up time).
If your balance is equipped with a leveling kit, it should be leveled before it is calibrated.
Cleaning
Please note: The balance must not be placed on its
top, because that would damage the measuring cell.
As needed, the weighing pan, in-use cover, the draft
shield (PE360), and if necessary, the housing should
be cleaned.
If possible, do not use any strong solvents, so as
not to damage the paint of the balance housing.
If you own both PE360 and PE3600 balances,
please make sure not to interchange the pan supports
and weighing pans of the various balances after
cleaning.
The pan support of the PE360 (soft springs) must
not be used on a PE3600 (hard springs) or the other
way around.
Calibration
To have your balance always provide accurate
weighing results, it must be correctly calibrated.
Check calibration regularly, e.g. with continuous
operation, once a month.
The test weight used with your balance model is listed
under "ACCESSORIES, optional".
