2.2 Site Preparation
Location
Important
The scale must not be loaded beyond its capacity, even momentarily.
• Select a site where overweight loads can maneuver easily without crossing the platform.
• Avoid areas where damage could occur from side impacts of wheels or forklift tines.
• Avoid areas where falling objects could cause shock damage.
• Avoid areas where water may damage a scale not meant for a washdown environment.
• The scale must be level within 1/4 inch. Choose a site where the floor is level to this standard to avoid
excessive shimming. The floor may require modification if unable to select and area up to standard.
Cabling
The interface cable between the scale and the indicator must be protected against crushing, cutting, or moisture
damage.
Important
If the chosen site has such potential dangers, some method of protection, such as running the
cable in conduit, will be required.
