1. Getting Started—
• Place AquaLab VSA on a flat surface. Use the bubble level
(Figure 1: Adjustment and bubble level) and use the
adjustable feet to level the instrument. The small rubber
feet on the back of the lower plate are to prevent tip-over
and do not need to be touching the table.
• Use AquaLab VSA where environmental temperature and
humidity remain fairly stable.
Adjustment feet:
Two on front and one
on the middle back.
Figure 1: Adjustment and bubble level.
• The AquaLab VSA needs to be on a stable platform and
evaluated to verify shipping did not damage the scale
performance. To test scale stability:
1. Turn on VSA and allow instrument to warm up
for 2 hours.
2. Navigate to the diagnostics screen in the
Configuration menu and press .
3. Scroll down to the screen that shows the weight.
Readings should vary no more than 0.1 mg.
