2.1.3 Security Slot
A security slot is provided at the rear of the balance allowing the balance to be secured by an
optional cable and lock accessory.
2.2 Selecting the Location
For best performance, the Scout SPX balance should be used in a clean, stable environment.
Do not use the balance in environments with excessive drafts, with rapid temperature changes,
near magnetic fields or near equipment that generates magnetic fields, or vibrations.
2.3 Leveling the Balance
The Scout has an illuminated level indicator as a reminder that the balance should be leveled
for accurate weighing. There is a level bubble in a small round window on the front of the
balance. To level the balance, adjust the feet at each corner until the bubble is centered in the
circle. Be sure the equipment is level each time its location is changed.
