A.2 Periodic Maintenance
The TSM Series Low Profile Scale is designed and engineered to require very little
maintenance. Follow the basic guidelines below:
1. Periodically clean any debris from under and around the scale. If debris such as
broken wood from pallets wedges between the scale platform and the ground or a
ramp, erratic weights will result.
2. Provide adequate clearance for free platform movement. Make sure a ramp(s) is not
touching the scale. Remove any debris under and around the scale platform.
3. Make sure the scale is level. Adjust the leveling feet if required to make sure all four
feet are in contact with the floor.
4. Periodic Calibration Notes
a. The scale is shipped factory calibrated.
b. It is recommended you have your scale calibrated once a year with Test
Weights to assure accuracy.
c. You should refer to your quality system guidelines to determine your
particular calibration frequency.
d. If calibration is required, refer to the indicator manual to determine the correct
calibration procedures.
e. For optimum calibration, load the scale with Test Weights equal to 70%-80%
of the scales capacity.
f. The scale may be calibrated with less Test Weight. Try to use at least 40% of
the scales capacity if possible.
g. Calibrating the scale with anything other than industry standard test weights
is not recommended or reliable. Refer to your own quality standards to
determine what kind of test weight is acceptable.
