Rice Lake Counterpart Configurable Counting Indicator - User Manual Rev. E - Version 2.5 - Manual (Page 13)

Installation 7
2.0 Installation
Counterpart is available in different configurations from just the indicator display to the display and counting scale
combined together as a unit. This section contains instructions on unpacking and assembly, leveling, making power
connections, load cell wiring, wiring standard serial port, optional network communications, wiring optional digital
outputs, optional backup battery operation, and power-up sequence. Assembly drawings and replacement parts lists
are also included.
Important
Do not pick up the counting scale by the “spider” assembly, which supports the platter. Lifting by the
spider may damage the load cell. Lift the scale from under the base to move it.
2.1 Unpacking

Note
Note
If purchasing a different scale base, a separate plastic bag with wiring components comes with the scale base
but is not needed and can be set aside.
Store the packing material and box in a safe, easily accessible place. Should you ever need to transport the
scale across any substantial distance, using the original packing material is the first step in protecting your
investment.
Immediately after unpacking the scale, visually inspect the Counterpart to ensure all components are included and
undamaged. If any parts were damaged in shipment, notify Rice Lake Weighing Systems and the shipper
immediately.
