Ventilation and Spacing

The scanning-scale’s perimeter housing has been designed to provide adequate space for convective cooling and unrestricted movement of the weighing apparatus. Figure 2-3shows the debris chutes and ventilation slots. The checkstand design must allow:

•The ambient air temperature inside the checkstand adjacent to the scanner must not exceed 104°F (40°C).

•A source of air that provides adequate cooling by convective air flow.

DO NOT place the scanner in a close-fitting, fully enclosed checkstand. Pro-

vide a MINIMUM of 16 square inches (103.2 square centimeters) of air intake

from below the installation for sufficient convective cooling.

NOTE

If motors, conveyor belts, or other heat producing equipment are located near the scanner, forced air ventilation may be required. In most installa- tions, a 30 cfm (.84 cmm) axial fan should provide sufficient air move- ment. If a ventilation fan is installed, one with a removable filter that may be washed or replaced is recommended.
