Installation
The following section provides installation instructions for the Summit SD-1150-WP dialysis wheelchair scale.
2.1 Scale
Standard installation of the scale consists of the following:
• Site preparation
• Unpacking the scale
• Assembly
• Electrical interface to the indicator
• Pit installation
• Load cell connections
• Powering the scale
2.2 Site Preparation
Consider the following when choosing a site for the scale:
• 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 inch of horizontal
• The interface cable between the scale and the indicator must be protected from 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 inch 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, cable protection is required, such as running the cable
in conduit.
2.3 Unpacking
Remove all packing material and inspect the contents for damage possibly caused during shipment. Contact Rice Lake
Weighing Systems and the shipper immediately if there is damage to the scale. The shipping container should contain the
scale, pit frame, scale feet, this manual, the indicator, and a 10 ft length of load cell cable.
The Summit SD-1150-WP dialysis wheelchair scale has one threaded hole located in the center of the deck to allow for the
installation of an eyebolt. An eyebolt hook and chains can be used to lift the scale. It is recommended to use a 1/2 inch-20NF
eyebolt for lifting the scale.
