5. LEGAL FOR TRADE
When the scale is used in trade or a legally controlled application it must be set up, verified and
sealed in accordance with local weights and measures regulations. It is the responsibility of the
purchaser to ensure that all pertinent legal requirements are met.
5.1 Capacity Label
A label showing the capacity and readability of the scale must be installed near each display. If
the Capacity Labels were installed prior to delivery, no further action is needed. If the Capacity
Labels were not installed, they have been placed in the packaging material. Affix the labels
above the displays as shown in Figure 5-1.
Note:
The Capacity Labels will be destroyed upon removal, so only attempt to install them once.
