1. INTRODUCTION
This manual contains installation, operation and maintenance instructions for the VX Series Floor Scale.
1.1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please follow these safety precautions:
 Never operate in hazardous areas.
 The VX Series platforms may be used in dry environments only.
 The foundation at the installation site must be capable of safely supporting the weight of the floor scale
plus the weight of the maximum load.
 Ensure that vibrations near the installation site are kept to a minimum. This applies also when the floor
scale is integrated into conveying systems.
2. INSTALLATION
CAUTION: THE FLOOR SCALE PLATFORM IS VERY HEAVY. ALWAYS USE APPROPRIATE HOISTING
EQUIPMENT TO LIFT IT FROM THE PACKAGING AND TO MOVE IT INTO THE REQUIRED POSITION.

1. Remove the outer packing materials from the top and sides of the Floor Scale.
2. Carefully lift the Floor Scale from the packing material, see caution notice above.
