Floor Scale Installation Manual
12
Installation Overview
Prior to installation of the scale it is important to have the proper location and application for the particular scale being
installed.
The typical procedure for the installation of scales covered in this manual will consist of the following:
• Choosing a site
• Ensuring that the scale installation site is level
• Unpacking the scale and any accessories or components
• Adjust the scale’s leveling / load feet
• Connection of an optional indicator
• Calibrating the scale
Installation Site Preparation
In order to ensure that the scale platform will not be loaded over its intended capacity take care that the installation site
will not allow unintended loads from being placed on the scale. Make sure that the scale location is not in the path of
forklift / tow motor traffic or in the vicinity of falling objects.
If the scale has not been designed for a washdown application, do not allow the scale to be placed any area where water
may exist.
Take care that the cable between the scale and weight indicator is protected from being run over, cut, crushed or
susceptible to moisture.
The floor where the scale is being located should be within 1/4” of level across the length and width of the platform.
