Inspection and Site Selection
Inspection
When the VERTEX floor scale is delivered, visually inspect it for any damage that might
have occurred during shipment and handling. Inspect the following:
1.
Frame assembly for any warping or bent angles
2.
Load cell and suspension assemblies
3.
Load cell cables
4.
Load cell summing junction box
5.
Overall platform assembly
If you find any damage, 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:
1.
The area where the scale will be located should be level to within 1/4" from the
highest to the lowest corner.
2.
The floor/support at each corner of the scale must be strong enough to maintain
support throughout the entire weighing capacity of the scale.
3.
There should be proper drainage away from the scale.
4.
There should be no heavy vibrations or wind currents at or near the scale.
5.
The scale should not be subjected to excessive or unusual loading due to the
location or type of equipment used.
If the site is acceptable, proceed with the installation. If not, choose a new location or
select another scale.
