2.2 Scale Base Assembly (if purchasing the scale base separate from indicator)
Do not turn the scale upside down. Always work with the scale on its side. Damage to the load cell
can occur if the scale is turned upside down.
Set up the scale on a stable, level surface.
2.2.1 Locking and Unlocking
The Counterpart scale base is delivered in a locked position to prevent damage to the load cells during shipment.
The scale base uses either one setscrew for the single-platform scale or two setscrews for the dual-platform scale.
The setscrews are located on the bottom of the base and must be removed before the scale is put into service. Use
the following procedure to unlock the scale base.
1. Turn the scale in its side.
Figure 2-1. Location of Load Cell Setscrews for Single and Dual-Platform Scales (DIGI Scale Base shown)
2. Remove the load cell setscrew using a hex wrench for the dual platform setscrews or a phillips head
screwdriver for the single platform scale.
3. Tape the setscrews to the bottom of the scale or store in a safe place for possible future use.
2.2.2 Leveling
Select a location for the Counterpart that is reasonably level and free of vibrations and air currents. Adjust the
four corner feet n the scale base and refer to the bubble level on the inside frame. The base should not rock and
the feet should have solid contact with the surface.
Ensure the nut on each foot’s bolt is secured flush against the scale base.
To ensure greater scale stability, turn in all four adjustable legs before leveling. Turn out adjustable legs to level
as needed.
