Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a METTLER TOLEDO BPA224 scale. Please read through these Operating
Instructions carefully, and always follow them!
1.1

Safety and the environment

– Only ever use your scale as described in the Operating Instructions. Be sure to follow
the instructions for putting your new scale into operation.
– Do not use the scale in an explosive environment.
– For connection to the power supply use only the AC adapter delivered with the scale.
Before you connect the scale to the power supply check that the voltage stated on the
AC adapter is the same as the local power supply voltage. If it is not, do not connect
the AC adapter under any circumstances but contact your dealer.
– Although your scale is very ruggedly constructed, it is nevertheless a precision
instrument. Impacts to the weighing pan, or placing excessively heavy loads on it, can
damage the scale.
– In conformance with the European Directive 2002/96 EC on Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) this device may not be disposed of in domestic waste.
This also applies to countries outside the EU, per their specific requirements.
Please dispose of this product in accordance with local regulations at the collecting
point specified for electrical and electronic equipment.
If you have any questions, please contact the responsible authority or the distributor
from which you purchased this device.
Should this device be passed on to other parties (for private or professional use), the
content of this regulation must also be related.
Thank you for your contribution to environmental protection.

Selecting a location

Selecting a suitable location makes a decisive contribution to precise measurement
results and lengthens the service life of the scale:
– Choose a stable, vibration-free surface which is as horizontal as possible.
– Ensure there are no excessive fluctuations in temperature, and no direct sunlight.
– Make sure that the environmental conditions are met (Chapter 9.1).
– Avoid drafts (e.g. from fans or air conditioning).
– After any major change of geographical position, the scale should be newly adjusted
(calibrated) (Chapter 4.3).
