Triner Scale TSM5-28-LS - Manual (Page 5)

2.0 PLATFORM INSTALLATION
After unpacking the scale, a small amount of preparation is required before the scale can be
used for weighing.
2.1 Site Preparation
The scale should not be loaded beyond its capacity. Do not select a site where
overweight loads would have to cross the platform. Avoid areas where the scale might
receive damaging side impacts from wheels or forklift tines.
The interface cable between the scale platform and digital indicator MUST be protected
from crushing, cutting, or moisture damage. Use some method of protection such as
running the cable in conduit.
For best results the scale should be installed on smooth level concrete. Installing the
scale on dirt or asphalt is not recommended.
2.2
Installing and Leveling the Alleyway Scale
1. Screw the Leveling Feet all the way into each of the four loadcells.
2. Place the scale on the floor in the location of intended use.
3. Adjust any “high” corners not in contact with the floor by further unscrewing
the feet on those corners until they contact the floor surface.
4. When all feet are in contact with the floor, check the platform with a level to
make sure it is within ¼ inch of level.
5. If desired, tighten the jam-nut against the bottom of the load cell to lock the
foot into place.
The most common reason for the scale to become
inoperable is because of interface cable damage. Make sure to protect the
cable in some fashion!
