ASSEMBLY
Both the T51P and T51XW connect to a base scale through a Load Cell Cable that connects to
the Indicator’s Main Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Each model has a mounting bracket that can
be attached to a column mount bracket or a wall mount. To remove the mounting bracket,
remove the threaded knobs, holding the Indicator by hand.
CAUTION
:
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. REMOVE ALL POWER CONNECTIONS TO THE
INDICATOR BEFORE MAKING INTERNAL CONNECTIONS.
The process of opening the Housing varies slightly for each model:
T51P:
1. Remove the four Phillips head screws
from the rear housing.
2. Open the housing; disconnect the
ribbon cable from the top of the PCB.
T51XW:
1. Remove the four hex head screws from
the rear housing.
2. Open the housing by carefully pulling
the top of the front housing forward.
