Site Preparation
Consider the following when choosing a site for the
RoughDeck PW-1
.
•
Select a site where overweight loads can maneuver easily without crossing the platform
•
Avoid areas where damage could occur from side impacts of wheels or forklift tines
•
Avoid areas where falling objects could cause shock damage
•
Avoid areas where water may damage a scale not meant for a washdown environment
•
The scale must be level within 1/4'' of horizontal
•
The interface cable between the scale and the indicator must be protected against crushing, cutting and
moisture damage
The scale must not be loaded beyond capacity, even momentarily.
Choose a site where the floor is level to 1/4
''
to avoid excessive shimming. The floor may
require modification if unable to select an area up to this standard.
If the chosen site has potential dangers to cable integrity, some method of protection, such as
running the cable in conduit, is required.
