HIPS SERIES PLATFORM SCALES

1-2

long with C2

®

 on its end. The output of each cell is 

2mV/V with 5 to 15 volts DC excitation.

Lower Frame 
Assembly

The lower frame assembly is also bolted directly to 
the load cell and serves as support and protection. It 
comes equipped with four leveling feet, a shock load 
set screw and corner overload adjustments. The cor-
ner overload adjustments have been factory set to bot-
tom out at approximately 75% of the scale capacity. 
DO NOT change this adjustment. As in the upper 
frame assembly the HI 1212PS/S and the HI 1318PS/
S lower frame is made of cast aluminum. The HI 
1824PS and HI 2424PS lower frame is all stainless 
steel.

Preassembly 
Precautions

Do not

 store or operate the scale out of its specified

Do not

 try to remove the load cell or adjust the allen 

set screws above or below the load cell.

Unpacking and 
Assembly

The HIPS Series scales are shipped fully assembled
