2 Handrail Scale Technical and Operating Instructions
2.0 Scale Assembly
2.1 Unpacking Your Scale
Place the unopened box in an open area that has ample room for unpacking the scale.
Parts contained in the shipping box include:
• The scale
• This manual
• Small box containing AC adaptor and RS-232 cable
• 6 mm Allen Key
2.2 Repacking
If the Digital Handrail Scale must be returned for modification, calibration or repair, it must be properly packed
with sufficient packing materials. Whenever possible, use the original carton when shipping the scale back.
NOTE: Damage caused by improper packaging is not covered by the warranty.
2.3 Setting Up Your Scale
Use the following steps to set up the Digital Handrail Scale.
1. Locate the operation manual from inside the box and set aside as it will provide instructions on the
proper set up.
2. Using two people, remove the scale out of the packaging material that it came in by lifting the scale out
of the box by the scale base.
NOTE: DO NOT lift the scale out of the box by its handle as this can cause the hinges to break.
3. Move the scale into the area where the weighing process will occur. It’s recommended to place the scale
on a hard, level surface for the most accurate weighments. Thin carpeting is fine but not recommended.
4. Gently set the scale platform down to the floor.
5. Loosen the handles using the Allen key and unfold handles and set upright.
