Positioning
Ensure the surface is flat in the area where the scale will be positioned, especially in the region of the load cell feet. Small
differences in height can be compensated by adjusting the load cell feet.
1.
If an Indicator is included with the floor scale, ensure that it is kept with the floor scale during positioning
as there may be an attached connecting cable.
2.
With the floor scale positioned over the final work area, remove the 4 shipping feet (if installed).
3.
Install the 4 load cell feet (if not already installed).
4.
Lower the scale on to the final work area.
5.
Check that the floor scale is level; check that the 4 feet are in contact with the floor; make adjustments by
rotating the nuts on the load cell feet. Use an external level.
Ensure that the floor scale's output cable does not become trapped or crushed during lifting or positioning.
6.
Connecting an Indicator
Certain Floor Scale systems will have an Indicator already attached to the cable end. If the Indicator is not attached or if the
Indicator is purchased separately follow the steps listed below to make the proper connections.
1.
Route the Floor Scale cable to the position where
the Indicator will be mounted.
2.
Consult the installation instructions of the Indicator
to properly attach the cable connections inside the
Indicator,
3.
The Signal names of the Floor Scale wires are
shown in Table 1, Floor Scale Wiring Color Code.
Caution: Ensure that the cable is protected against possible
damage when routed to the Indicator.

Operating Limits
Although the weighing platforms have extremely rugged construction, certain load limits must not be exceeded.
Depending on the type of loading, the maximum safe static load, i.e. the maximum admissible loading is:
