Section 1: Introduction This manual provides information on installation, adjustment, and parts list for the model 1124 and 1124-1 portable platform scales. Please read carefully while assembling the scale. The scale is factory calibrated and supplied ready to be assembled and placed into service. For commercial applications, scale must be installed by a certified scale technician. Note : Adjustments to the weighing accuracy should only be made by trained scale personnel.
Section 2: Description The 1124 and 1124-1 portable platform scales are constructed with cast iron bases and cast iron lever systems. The indicating devices are a mechanical beam (in lbs. or kgs.) or, with accessories, an electronic instrument for displaying the weight Note : The 1124's shipping weight is approximately 185 lbs. Please use caution to prevent injury, and or damage to the product.
Section 3: Installation A. Unpacking: Check that all parts are included using the packing list. Check for component damage that may have occurred during shipping. B. Assembly: Caution: The scale base assembly, as shipped, weighs 105 lbs., use caution when lifting. 1. Wheel and Pillar Assembly Note: The descriptions below refer to "Item No" to describe parts. Use the parts list and Item # in the list to identify those parts. a. Set the scale base assembly (#4) upright on the floor. b.
h. Screw the two (2) pillar rods (#1) into the base in the two (2) tapped holes provided. i. Place the pillar (#2) over the pillar rods with the cutouts facing to the left and right of the platform j. Insert the beam load rod (#35) down through the pillar, with the bent hook on top, loose swivel hook on the bottom. 2. Cap and Beam Assembly for 1124 and 1124-1 Models (Beam Installations): a.
beam load rod (the open part of the 'hook' on the bottom should face the scale base (inward). i. Holding the rod's BOTTOM hook, put it UNDER the pivot on the END of the scale lever by lifting on the long lever end from the bottom. j. Fit the beam lock (#43) over the beam tip and align with the 2 holes in the beam cap and use the 2 screws to fasten the beam lock to the beam cap with the handle facing the scale platform. k. Hang the counterpoise (#54) from the beam tip loop. l.
q. If the beam will not balance using the balance ball : • Check that the poise is at "0" and the poise screw is snug. • Check that the platform is 'free' and 'floating'. • Check that the beam load rod is connected properly on BOTH ends. • Check that there is nothing under the platform inhibiting the levers (floor debris). • Check that the counterpoise hanger, without any weights, is on the tip loop. • Check that the beam is hanging from the middle loop.
3. Operation: a. Zeroing: Before weighing an object, ensure that the scale is on ZERO with nothing on the platform. To do this, set the sliding poise to "0", release the beam lock, and observe the beam within the beam lock loop. (The beam should move from near the top to near the bottom eventually settling 'balancing' in the center). If not, adjust the zero balance ball using a flat blade screw driver. • If the beam stays at the top of the beam lock loop, turn the balance ball screw counter-clock-wise.
