Remote Scale Display Placement/Installation
When installing the optional Remote Scale Display, consider both the customer’s viewing angle
and the amount of daily ambient light conditions anticipated at this installation site.
Figure 27
shows available adjustment for the display head.
Lighting Considerations
The display(s) will be easily readable unless placed in direct sunlight or other very strong light
sources. Light interference will not be a factor in most installations. For best viewing, the display
head(s) can each be rotated up to 180
º
around the post and/or tilted 15
º
backward or forward.
Viewing Angle
The optimum display angle is directly facing the viewer. Tilt and rotation adjustments can be
made for the Remote Display models as shown in
Figure 27. To ensure that displays are easily
readable for customers/cashiers of average height, display heads should
be between 48” to 60”
(122 to 152 cm) from the floor.
NOTE
Check with local Weights and Measures authorities regarding proper
positioning of scale displays used in retail trade.
