Safety Information
§To prevent damage to the equip-
ment, please read these operating
instructions carefully before using
your balance/scale.
!Do not use this equipment in
hazardous areas.
!Make sure the voltage rating printed
on the power supply is identical to
your local line voltage.
!Use only commercially available 9V
batteries. If desired, you can use a
rechargeable battery (not included).
– The balance is energized at all
times unless you disconnect the AC
adapter and, if connected, the
battery.
– Protect the AC adapter from contact
with liquid
!Exposure to excessive electromag-
netic interference can cause the
readout value to change. Once the
disturbance has ceased, the instru-
ment can be used again in accor-
dance with its intended purpose.
Installation
– It is recommended to connect
Acculab accessories and options,
as these are optimally designed for
use with your balance/scale.
– Do not open the balance/scale
housing as this may void the
manufacturer’s warranty.

Getting Started
4
Connecting the
Balance/Scale to AC Power
§It is recommended to use only the
included AC adapter for optimal
performance and safety.
§Insert plug into the jack
(located on back of scale)
§Plug the AC adapter into an electrical
outlet
!LISTED power supply 11 V–21 V
compliant with NEC Class 2 output.
Below-Balance/Scale
Weighing
A port for a below-balance weighing
hanger is located on the bottom of
the balance/scale.
§Open the cover plate on the bottom
of the balance/scale.
§Attach the sample (e.g., using a sus-
pension wire) to the hanger.
$Install a shield for protection against
drafts if necessary.
Installing the Battery
(not for models VIC-303, VIC-123,
VIC-4MG, VIC-2MG)
$Batteries are not included with the
equipment supplied
!Use only commercially available 9V
batteries.
!If you use a rechargeable battery,
recharge it with an external battery
charger.
§Lay the balance/scale on its side
§Open the battery compartment:
remove the compartment cover
§Install the battery in the compart-
ment
$Make sure the polarity is correct.
!Close the battery compartment: slide
the cover into position until it snaps
into place
!Do not throw away used batteries
with normal household waste.
Rechargeable batteries contain toxic
materials and must be disposed of in
accordance with local waste disposal
regulations.
Leveling the Balance/Scale
(only for models VIC-303,
VIC-123, VIC-4MG, VIC-2MG)
§Always level the balance/scale
again any time after it has been
moved to a different location.
Example: moving bubble from R to L
§Turn the feet as shown in the dia-
gram until the air bubble is centered
within the circle of the level indicator.
> In most cases this will require several
adjustment steps.
Removing Weights for
Calibration/Span Adjustment
(only for models VIC-612, VIC-212,
VIC-711, VIC-511, VIC-303,
VIC-123, VIC-4MG, VIC-2MG)
§Grasp the tab to turn and remove
the weight compartment.
$Follow instructions on page 12 for
calibration/span adjustment.
