Triner Scale TS-20KD-1010 - Manual (Page 3)

6. Connect six (6) load cells to summing junction box.
7. Connect home run cable from the junction box to the digital indicator.
8. Perform corner test with 2,000 lbs of test weight.
9. Calibrate the scale per digital indicator manual.
Weldment #1 Installation
1. Choose an area of concrete where the scale is to be installed. The area should
be level and free of debris. Be sure to install the scale so the traffic runs parallel
to the center seam (see Figure 1).
Never install the scale platform on asphalt or blacktop. It will sink in
warm weather and cause errors in the weight reading.
2. Be sure to install Platform Weldment #1 first (See Fig. 1). With a forklift, raise
Platform Weldment #1 to a comfortable working height.
3. Using load cells marked 1-4, match the load cells to their respective corners. The
corner numbers are stamped into the deck plate between the bolting holes. Bolt
each load cell into place making sure that the arrow on the load cell is
pointing up (see Fig 2.). Securely tighten all bolts.
4. Using load cell stands and spherical washers provided, slide the spherical
washers over the 5/8” diameter rod on the load cell stand (see Fig 2.). Make sure
to put the concave washer on the bottom and the convex washer on the top.
5. Take one load cell stand (with spherical washers) and slide the 5/8” rod through
the hole in the #1 load cell. Make sure the holes in the load cell stand are toward
the outside to allow for the installation of the lag bolts. The load cell stand should
run diagonally across each corner. Use some tape to temporarily hold the stand
in place. Repeat for the remaining three (3) corners.
6. Now that all four load cells stands are properly aligned and secured in place, take
the excess bundles of load cell cable and put them on top of the platform to avoid
damage.
7. Lower Platform Weldment #1 into the desired position. Once the platform is in
position, the tape securing the load cell stands can be removed.
8. Shim the corners with the flat washers provided to level the platform. During
shimming, make sure to put the shim washers under the spherical washers. After
shimming is complete, make sure each of the four load cell stands have equal
pressure against the ground.
