EN-2 VN Series Floor Scale
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.
6. Ensure that the floor scale’s output cable does not become trapped or crushed during lifting or positioning.
Foot Plates
Foot Plates (available separately) mount around the feet of the Floor Scale and prevent movement of the scale. Installation of
Floor Plates must be done before final placement of the Floor Scale. Refer to the section on Accessories for Foot Plate
installation.
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.
