If necessary, trim corners as described in Section 3.2 on page 8.
Check all strain relief fittings for tightness.
Slide the junction box assembly into the cutout and secure it with the two #10 x 3/8 inch screws provided.
2.6 Pit Installation
Any of the RoughDeck models can be installed in a shallow pit using the optional RoughDeck Pit Frame. Optional
height-adjustment holes are available. The following site considerations and pit frame drawings are meant only as
a brief overview of the principles involved with mounting the scale in a floor-level pit. The pit must be installed in
a suitable poured-concrete foundation according to standard construction practices.

Site Considerations
Debris, floor sweepings, or material spills may accumulate in the pit and interfere with scale operation. You should
periodically clean the pit. All RoughDeck models have threaded holes for eye bolts so the scale can be easily lifted
from the pit.
Weight overloads, even momentary ones such as driving a loaded forklift over a scale corner, will damage load
cells. Plan the pit location out of main traffic areas to prevent such accidental damaging overloads.
A 1:24 slope is recommended for the pit, with full grouting under the corner pads as shown in Figure 2-4.
Note
Corner pads must be fully grouted.
