Base Anchoring, Installation & Wiring
STEP 1: Remove all parts from box and inspect for damage – bent metal, broken wires, cracks in indicator, etc. Any shipping damage must be reported to carrier!
Parts Bag contains: (strapped to scale base)
- Leveling foot w/ jam nut
STEP 2: Locate a solid, relatively level spot on the floor to install
scale platform.
STEP 3: Position pivot plates on the floor so the base is in the desired
position. Floor must be close to level, but if the base is out of level from
side to side, shim pivot plates to level scale from side to side and prepare
anchor bolts. Mark and drill (3) holes per pivot plate into concrete and
anchor with lag anchors.
STEP 4: Screw leveling foot into load cell and adjust leveling foot until
scale frame is level from front to back. Place a level across the UHMW rollers
from front to back to achieve level. This leveling adjustment is critical to
accurate operation of the scale. Tighten the nut on the load cell leveling
foot stud so that foot does not twist off of level. Nut should be a little
more than hand tightened.
STEP 5: Attach FLEXIBLE conduit to fitting provided on scale frame. It is
recommended that at least 2 foot of horizontal flexible conduit be used to
allow proper and accurate operation of scale. Rigid conduit can then be run
either to a junction box or directly to the Scaletron controller. This will be
determined by individual installation conditions.
STEP 6: If a junction box is used, mount it to wall and, using the
supplemental instructions, make the proper connections.
