Congratulations on the purchase of your new LoadSense Portable Weighing Kit. This
product is designed to provide long service life and new levels of weighing
fl
exibility and
portability. Although your kit comes equipped with a portable platform, you may wish to
use the kit to weigh large objects. In these situations any suitable larger platform may be
substituted. The kit’s modular design allows sensor placement to be adjusted according
the size of platform you choose.
Please read the entire manual carefully before using the scale kit as improper use may
cause injury or invalidate your warranty. We hope you
fi
nd the LoadSense Portable
Weighing Kit to be a valuable tool for meeting your weighing needs.

Critical Safety Information
1. Do not expose the scale to water or use in environments where it may be exposed
to corrosives or high levels of moisture.
2. Use the scale on a hard,
fl
at and level surface to avoid accidents and to maximize
weighing
accuracy.
3. When using platforms other than the included acrylic platform, select a
fl
at and
stable item with the strength to hold your intended load while being supported by the
four sensors from the outer corners. Refer to the instructions below for appropriate
sensor placement. Suitable platforms include pallets, plywood, metal sheets,
etc. Your platform should not weigh more than the Dead Load Capacity for your
speci
fi
c model (see Technical Speci
fi
cations).
4. Do not exceed the rated capacity of your speci
fi
c scale model. Doing so may damage
the sensors, result in injury and invalidate your warranty.
5. Place all loads in the center of the platform to prevent accidents and maximize
weighing accuracy. When centering the load, do not slide it on the platform as this
also may cause damage and/or accidents.
6. Do not subject the scale to “load shock” by dropping either the platform onto the
sensors or the load onto the platform. Such forces may exceed the maximum
capacity of the scale and invalidate your warranty. Place all loads on the sensors
and weighing platform in the gentlest manner possible.
7. Ensure that no power or connecting cords are caught between the components of
the scale or in a position to cause a tripping hazard. Never lift or move the sensors
or weighing indicator by their cords.
8. Only use the supplied power adapter and winder cords with the kit. Do not insert any
other types of plugs or cords into the jacks.
