2. Carefully unwrap the load cell cable located on the underside of the scale. It will run out the underside of
the scale.

3. Gently set the scale base down to the floor. There should be minimal clearance between the scale base
and the floor without having the scale base actually touching the floor.
Not having clearance around the scale base will create inaccurate weighments.
4. It’s also important to make sure that the scale is completely level. Gently press down on all corners of the
scale base to ensure that there are no high spots or rocking of the scale base.
An un-level base will produce inaccurate weight readings.
3.5 Cable Connections
Ten feet of 4-wire cable to connect the scale to the weight indicator is supplied with each scale.
The cable is pre-installed from the factory.
The cable must be routed to the indicator in a manner that will protect the cable from damage. Cabling should
exit the underside of the scale on the portable wheel side of the scale and not the ramp side(s). When planning
cable routing, leave a loose coil of excess cable under the scale to facilitate future lifting of the scale for servicing
or cleaning.

5. When the interface cable is protected and in its final position, complete connections to the indicator as
described in Section 4.0.
