3 Installation (Top-of-Floor)
Locate
Place the 2158, 2160, or 2162 Vertex in the desired location after
inspecting the site per Chapter 2 of this manual.
Remove Platform
Remove scale platform from the frame by using lifting eye bolts in the
holes provided in the deck (a quantity of two 3/4"-10 UNC eye bolts
required). Ensure that the eye bolts are snug and fully threaded into the
deck before lifting.
Anchor Frame
Locate the anchor holes in all four corners of the frame. There are a total
of 8 anchor holes (2 per corner). (see Figure 3-a).
Drill the anchor holes using the frame as a guide. Eight 1/2"-13 UNC x
1-1/2" long flat head socket cap screws are provided with each Vertex
scale for securing frame to floor. The 1/2" anchors themselves are to be
provided by others or can be purchased from Mettler Toledo. Drill
anchor holes to a diameter and depth per the supplier's instructions.
All corners of the frame must be in contact with the floor and be level
within plus or minus 1/16". If the scale is out-of-level or gaps exist
between the frame and floor, shimming is required.
Corner shims (1/16" thick) can be purchased from Mettler Toledo (Part
No. 58-030025) or fabricated using Figure 3-b as a guide.
Secure the frame to the floor using the eight flat head anchor bolts
provided.
