4 Informaion for he User Safe Insrucions The balance/scale has been consruced in accordance wih he European Direcives as well as inernaional regulaions and sandards for operaion of elecrical equipmen, elecromagneic compaibili and applicable safe requiremens. However, improper use or handling can resul in damage and/or injur. The equipmen ma onl be operaed b rained personnel. Operaors mus read hese insallaion insrucions, paricularl he safe informaion, and mus be familiar wih he operaion of he equipmen. The operaor mus supplemen hese warnings and safe precauions if necessar and rain operaing personnel accordingl. 3 Before operaing he balance, be sure o read he secion on safe insrucions in he enclosed insallaion manual. Sharp or poined insrumens (such as ballpoin pens) can 3 damage he device. Use onl our fingerips and press genl o operae ouch screen conrols. Inended Use Cubis models are fine precision balances wih high-resoluion. The were speciall developed for exac deerminaion of he mass of maerials in liquid, pase, powder or solid form. Suiable conainers mus be used o hold he maerials. The maximum balance capaci depending on he model ranges from 0.01 mg (smalles mass deerminaion) o 12.0 kg (larges mass deerminaion). Cubis models are designed speciall for use in research, educaion and da-o-da laboraor asks in science, echnolog and indusr. The are designed o be used exclusivel indoors. Cubis models can be operaed sandalone, conneced o a PC or in a nework. 4 Cubis MSU Brief Insrucions
