INTRODUCTION
Carefully read these instructions to assure proper installation and performance of the scale.
PREPARATION
Standard preparation of the floor scale consists of the following steps:
1. Select a site
2. Check levelness and smoothness of the site
3. Uncrating the Bulk Bagger
4. Adjust the four leveling feet on the scale
5. Connect cable to junction box and indicator (if required)
6. Calibrate the unit
SITE SELECTION
Be careful to select a location that will prevent accidental overloading of the 520 series. Avoid
installing the scale in areas where damage may occur such as impacts from heavy machinery,
wheels, forklift tines or shock damage from falling objects.
The interface cable between the 520 series and the indicator must be secured to the floor or wall
and protected against crushing, cutting or water damage. If the site has such potential dangers, a
method of protection such as running the cable in conduit is recommended.
UNCRATING
Remove the crate and inspect the Model 520 for any visible damage caused during shipment. If
damage is present, notify your freight carrier and CBE immediately to register a claim. Take
pictures if damage is visible when crate arrives physically damaged.
RE-ADJUSTING THE LOAD CELL FEET
The base of the Model 520 has built in forklift pickup pockets. Using the forklift pockets, elevate the
Model 520 and locate the four (4) load leveling feet. They are stored inside the frame for transport.
Each load leveling foot should be screwed out
to the same length (so the frame is 2” from the floor).
Once the unit is in final position, the unit should be leveled and solid on all 4 corners.
