OPERATION
For setup, calibration and proper operation, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the indicator. Refer to the specifications
section of the floor scale for capacity, and readability information.
For continued best operating performance:
•
Avoid falling loads, shocks and hard lateral impacts
•
When weighing, all items should be centrally located on the floor scale and not over
hanging the sides or the ramps.
•
Verify the calibration of the floor scale system at regular intervals.
Operating Limits
Although the floor scales have extremely rugged construction, certain load limits must not be exceeded. Depending on the type of
loading, the maximum safe static load, i.e. the maximum admissible loading, is shown in Table 2.
