7.2 The Terminal can’t be placed into the place where the dust pollution and vibration are serious.

7.3 Load cell should connect with Terminal reliably, and the system should be well connected into
ground. The Terminal must be protected from high electrical field and high magnetic field.
◆ In order to protect the operator, Terminal and relevant device, you should mount lightning rod
in thunderstorm frequently happening area.
◆ Load cell and Terminal are static sensitive device, you must adopt anti static measures.

7.4 It is strictly forbidden to clean the case of Terminal with intensive solvents (for example:
benzene and nitro oils)

7.5 Liquid and conducting particle should not be poured into the Terminal, otherwise the electronic
components will be damaged and electric shock is likely to happen.

7.6 You should cut off power supply of Terminal and relevant device before you pull-in and out the
connecting line of Terminal and external device.
◆ You must cut off power supply of Terminal, before pulling out connecting line of load cell.
