METTLER TOLEDO 2158/2160/2162 VERTEX Floor Scale Installation and Service Manual
(2/01)1-4
End Loading
Models 2158, 2160, and 2162 may be end loaded up to 100% of the platform’s rated
capacity or two times the individual load cell rating (whichever is less) across any end
of the scale.
Platform Assembly
VERTEX floor scales have a single-channel reinforced platform with a plate that can be
removed to gain access to the junction box. Standard mild steel scales have a safety
tread plate surface. Stainless steel scales have a platform structure very similar to the
mild steel unit. Standard stainless steel scales have a smooth deck surface with a glass
bead blast finish. Threaded holes are provided in the platform. When installing or
removing a platform, screw eyebolts into these holes and lift the platform by the
eyebolts.
Support Frames
Standard
Above-Floor Frame
Standard VERTEX scales have a formed-angle frame with all sides turned under the
scale for a fully captured assembly (see Figure 1-4). When used for top-of-floor
installations, the scales can be equipped with optional ramps to provide access to all
four sides of the scale. Optional scale guards can be mounted on sides of the scale that
do not have ramps, to provide protection in high-traffic areas. Standard VERTEX frames
can be used for in-floor applications; however, a Quick-Pit frame is recommended.
