Standard installation of the Benchmark
™
LP floor scale consists of the following steps:
• Select a site
• Check levelness and smoothness of site
• Unpack scale
• Adjust the four feet on the scale
• Connect cable to summing board and
indicator
• Calibrate the unit
2.1 Site Preparation
The scale must not be loaded beyond its capacity, even momentarily. Do not select a site where overweight loads
would have to maneuver to avoid crossing the platform. Avoid areas where the scale might receive damaging
side impacts from wheels or forklift tines, or shock damage from falling objects. Avoid areas where water may
damage the scale.
The interface cable between the scale and the indicator must be protected against crushing, cutting, or moisture
damage. If the chosen site has such potential dangers, some method of protection, such as running the cable in
conduit, will be necessary.
In operation, the scale must be level within
1
/
4
inch. Either choose a site where the floor is close to this standard
to avoid excessive shimming, or modify the floor at the chosen site to meet this standard.
2.2 Unpacking and Assembly
1. Remove all packing material and inspect scale for visible damage caused during shipment.
2. Remove the four overload stops on the underside of the scale, shown in Figure 2-1.
