Figure 2-2. Vertical Clearance
Ventilation and Spacing
The scanning-scale’s perimeter housing has been designed to provide ade-
quate space for convective cooling and unrestricted movement of the
weighing apparatus. Figure 2-3 shows the debris chutes and ventilation
slots. The checkstand design must allow:
• The ambient air temperature inside the checkstand adjacent to
the scanner must not exceed 104°F (40°C).
• A source of air that provides adequate cooling by convective air
flow.
