2 Inspection and Site Selection
Inspection
Upon delivery of the 2888 DECKMATE, visually inspect the scale for
any damage which may have occurred during shipment and handling.
Inspect the following areas:
1. Platform assembly for any damage
2. Load cell and suspension assemblies
3. Load cell cables
4. Load cell summing junction box
5. Overall platform assembly
If any damage is noted, contact your freight carrier immediately.
Site Selection
Many problems associated with floor scale installations are caused by
improper site conditions. Before installing the scale, check the proposed
location for the following conditions:
• Is the floor or support at the location of the scale level?
• Is the floor/support at each corner of the scale area able to maintain
support throughout the entire weighing capacity of the scale?
• Is there proper drainage away from the scale area?
• Are there any heavy vibrations or wind currents present at or near the
scale?
