Digital weighing scales are precise instruments that require proper handling to ensure accurate results. Here are some essential dos and don'ts to follow, to promote accuracy and longevity:
Dos:
- Calibrate regularly: Always calibrate your scale according to the manufacturer's instructions. This ensures accurate readings when the scale is put to use. Reach out to
Scales Technology for your calibration needs. - Avoid overloading: Never exceed the scale's maximum capacity to prevent damage. Always use the right scale for the job, for instance, the industrial weighing scale that weighs up to 300kg.
- Level the scale: Ensure the scale is placed on a level surface to avoid inaccurate readings during measurements.
- Regular Cleaning: Strive to keep the scale clean and free of debris to prevent interference.
- Handle with care: Avoid dropping or bumping the scale, as this can damage the internal components. Handle the scale gently during and after use.
- Follow manufacturer's instructions: Always refer to the manufacturer's manual for specific usage guidelines. When in doubt, you can always consult your service provider. At Scalestech, we offer 24-hour customer service as well as aftersales services.
- Use appropriate units: Set your weighing scale to the correct units of measurement (e.g., grams, kilograms, pounds).
Don'ts:
Now that we have covered the best ways to handle your digital weighing scale, let us take a look at what not to do, for best results.
- Place heavy objects directly on the scale: Use a suitable platform or tray to distribute the weight evenly. For the pallet scale, for instance, ensure to use an appropriate pallet.
- Expose the scale to extreme temperatures: Avoid placing the scale under direct sunlight or near heat sources to prevent damage.
- Place the scale on a vibrating surface: This is because vibrations can interfere with the scale's accuracy.
- Use the scale for non-weight measurements: The scale is designed for measuring weight only.
- Ignore battery warnings: Replace batteries promptly when they start to run low, for optimum output.
