2.0Installation

This section describes the procedure for the installation and setup of the DC-190 counting scale.

2.1Locking and Unlocking

Do not turn scale upside down. Always Caution work with scale on its side! Damage to the load cell can occur if the scale is

turned upside down.

The DC-190 counting scale is delivered in a locked position to prevent damage to the load cells during shipment.

To prevent damage to the load cells, Caution scale must be locked prior to shipment.

The scale uses either one setscrew for the single-platform scale or two setscrews for the dual-platform scale. The setscrews are located on the bottom of the base and must be removed before the scale is put into service. Use the following procedure to unlock your DC-190 counting scale.

1.Turn scale on side. Loosen locknut 1/4 turn (see Figure 2-1).

2.Remove load cell setscrew (see Figure 2-2) using the 2 mm hex wrench provided with scale.

NOTE: Keep locknut in the approximate original position on the setscrew to prevent damage to load cell when reinstalling.

NOTE: Beginning in 2003, setscrews with slotted heads will replace the hex head types, and will no longer require the 2mm hex wrench for removal.

2.2Setting Up

Place the scale on a solid, level surface away from fans, breezes, and sources of electrical interference.

Level the scale by turning the four adjustable legs located on the bottom of the scale while referencing the bubble level located on the back of the scale (see Figure 2-3).

NOTE: To ensure greater scale stability, turn in all four adjustable legs before leveling. Turn out adjustable legs to level as needed.
