COMPONENT 

DESCRIPTIONS

1.

Steel Plate Platform

 - The platform material is 

either painted carbon steel or 304 stainless steel. 
The carbon steel platform cover is made from a 
single piece of 1/4" A36 carbon steel floor plate 
(skid resistant) or smooth steel plate.   The steel 
platforms are primed and coated with a tough 
weather resistant paint (See Paint Specifications). 
The 304 stainless steel platform is made from a 
single piece of 1/4" diamond tread (Conforms to 
ASTM A793-85) floor plate (skid resistant) or 
smooth stainless steel plate with a bead blast fin-
ish.

2.

Summing Junction Card Assembly

 - Accessed 

by unfastening the 2 screws on the deck plate on 
the center side of the platform. (See Fig.2) The 
summing junction card routes the excitation volt-
age to each of the four load sensors and sums the 
weight signal back from them. The C2

®

 second 

generation electronic calibration is included with 
your scale.

For Class I and II, Division 1 Hazardous (Classi-

fied) Locations, and Class 1, Zone 0 and 2 
Groups IIC, Zone 20 and 22 Groups IIIC, power 
must be supplied to the Summing Box through 
approved intrinsically safe barriers per control
