Ventilation and Spacing
Product Reference Guide 2-7
Vertical Clearance:
Provision must be made to allow adequate space
above the scanner bonnet for removal and replacement of the All
Weighs™ Platter (the L-shaped platter). Optimal clearance permits the
platter to be grasped at its top vertical edge and lifted for removal without
obstruction (such as a fixed keyboard mount or any type of enclosure).
Should such an enclosure be unavoidable, an alternate method of platter
removal using two coins may be employed, however a minimum vertical
clearance of 1.5” (3.8 cm) MUST be provided (reference Figure 2-2).
Another consideration is that the scan zone must be kept free of obstruc-
tions such as enclosures, keyboard mounts, etc.
Figure 2-2. Vertical Clearance

Ventilation and Spacing

The scanner/scale’s perimeter housing has been designed to provide ade-
quate space for convective cooling and unrestricted movement of the
weighing apparatus. Figure 2-3 shows 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).
