2.0 Installation
Overview
Assembly of the scale consists of the following steps:
1. Unpacking
2. Assembling mast onto scale base
3. Installing optional pivoting ramp
4. Mounting and wiring the indicator
5. Configuring the indicator
6. Calibrating the unit with test weights
2.1 Unpacking
The standard scale, with no added options, is shipped with load cells and indicator cable pre-wired into the junction
box on the mast. The indicator can be mounted and wired after the mast is in place.
Remove all packing material and inspect base and mast components for visible damage caused during shipment.
2.2 Installing Optional Pivoting Ramp
If the optional ramp is to be installed, set it flat on the floor in position in front of the scale so the holes in the base
align with the holes in the ramp pivot arms.
Figure 2-1. Pivoting Ramp
Insert a shoulder bolt with a single washer through an arm pivot hole. Slide three plastic pivot washers onto the bolt
for clearance between the arm and the base. See Figure 3-5. After the bolt engages the threads in the base, tighten
the shoulder bolt snugly. Repeat for the other side.
