Proper Storage of A&D FX-120i?

[xdeano]

Hey Guys, how are you storing your electronic scales? Are you putting them inside a cabinet, using covers, etc. How about leaving a scale weight on the pan? I'm mostly interested in the FX-120i storage options, but if you've got a suggestion write it.

Thanks,
Deano

I leave mine sitting on the table I built for it, not sure why you'd store it away. If I know it will be a while before I use it again I'll unplug it.

It is a magnetic force restoration scale, but I still take everything off of mine, un plug it and cover it. Mine does stay on its own shelf all by itself that is attached to the wall and not the bench. This way it's not subjected to any of the vibration from work on the bench.

i never move mine and i leave it on and plugged in all the time. there's no reason to fiddle fuck around having to level it and set it up and wait for it to warm and stabilize unless youre not using it for months at time

I move it from my coffee table where I load to a the top of the cabinets along the wall when not in use. I leave the little scoop on it and it just sits there, I dont put a dust cover or any frills like that over it. When I come home after work to weigh I plug it in and its warm enough by the time I get changed out of my office clothes and grab a drink that Ive never noticed any drifting or anything.

As it sits

I leave mine on the table and throw a plastic painters drip mat over it (more for dust than anything).

The reason I'd move the unit, is because I have a 3 and 6 year old that love to screw with my stuff if it's left out.

I keep it inside the house at room temperature unplugged. I reload in the garage. No insulation inside the garage so it’s either hot or cold.

I leave mine plugged in and on. I use it at least once a week and don't like waiting for it to warm up.

I have one on order and I was just about to ask this. If you do unplug it how long does warm up take?
