Storage and Shipping
Conditions
– Allowable storage temperature:
+5°C ...+40°C (+41 to +104 °F)
– The packaging has been designed
to ensure that the equipment
will not be damaged even
if it is dropped from a height of
80 centimeters (about 31 inches).
– Do not expose the equipment to
extreme temperatures, moisture,
shocks or vibration.
Unpacking the Terminal
§ After unpacking the terminal,
check it immediately for any visible
damage as a result of rough
handling during shipment.
$ If you see any sign of damage,
proceed as directed in the chapter
entitled "Care and Maintenance,"
under the section on "Safety
Inspection."
$ It is a good idea to save the box
and all parts of the packaging until
you have successfully installed
your terminal. Only the original
packaging provides the best
protection for shipment.
$ Before shipping the terminal,
unplug all connected cables to
prevent damage.

Equipment Supplied
The equipment supplied includes the
components listed below:
– FCT01-X with interface port
Installation
The FCT01-X terminal is designed
to provide reliable weighing results
under normal ambient conditions.
When choosing a location to set up
your terminal, observe the following
so that you will be able to work with
added speed and accuracy:
– Avoid placing the equipment in
close proximity to a heater or
otherwise exposing the equipment
to heat or direct sunlight
– Protect the equipment from drafts
that come from open windows or
doors
– Avoid exposing the equipment to
extreme vibrations during
weighing
– Protect the equipment from
aggressive chemical vapors
– Do not expose the equipment to
extreme moisture
Turn off the equipment when not
in use.
Getting Started
Conditioning the FCT01-X
Moisture in the air can condense
on the surfaces of a cold terminal
whenever it is brought into a
substantially warmer place. If you
transfer the terminal to a warmer area,
make sure to condition it for about 2
hours at room temperature, leaving
it unplugged from AC power.
Afterwards, if you keep the terminal
connected to AC power, the
continuous positive difference in
temperature between the inside of the
terminal and the outside will
practically rule out the effects of
moisture condensation.
