Section 1: General Information A. Introduction: The Aegis Stainless Steel floor scale features a rugged structural rib design and a nominal height of three inches -- among the lowest in the industry. With a full range of accessories, these scales can be configured to fit most floor scale applications. B. Description: The Aegis Industrial Stainless Steel series floor scale platform is fully assembled and pre-wired.
Section 2: Installation A. General Service Policy: Prior to installation, it must be verified that the equipment will satisfy the customer's requirements as supplied, and as described in this manual. If the equipment cannot satisfy the application, and the application cannot be modified to meet the design parameters of the equipment, the installation should not be attempted.
The complete installation consists of: 1. 2. 3. 4. Verifying the application Unpacking Floor scale checkout Customer and site readiness: a. Is the Location ready? b. Is the customer aware there may be work disruptions? c. Are the operators available for training? 5. Floor scale connections 6. Adjustments 7. Customer training NOTE: It is the owner’s responsibility to document, notify, and follow-up with the carrier if there is shipping damage.
D. Unpacking: 1. Check that all components are on hand, and agree with the customer's order. 2. Remove all components from their packing material, checking to make certain that all parts are accounted for and no parts are damaged. Advise the shipper immediately if damage has occurred. Order any parts necessary to replace those which have been damaged. Keep the shipping container and packing material for future use. Check the packing list. 3. Collect all necessary installation manuals for the floor scale.
3. Screw two (2) eyebolts into the threaded adapters in the platform top and use a forklift or other lifting means along with chains, cables, or nylon straps to remove the scale from the crate. CAUTION: Do NOT use grab or slip hooks to lift the scale. Failure to use the proper lifting tools may result in personal injury. 4. Set the scale so that the interface cable exits in a direction where it can be protected.

If the Gray/Shield wire is equipped with a screw lug, it can be attached using one of the PCB screws. 2. Calibrate the Intalogix™ platform / indicator.
c. Cornering the scale: Place a load which is 25% of platform capacity upon the scale at the corner 1 location. Note the indication. Proceed to each successive corner with the weight and note each indication. If corners require adjustment, place the load on the corner displaying the lowest weight and use the appropriate potentiometer to change the displayed weight to read the same as the highest reading by turning the potentiometer clockwise (CW).
Section 3: Accessories Installation Bolt-down plates, ramps, bumper guards, and pit frames are installed as follows: A. Bolt-Down Plates: Bolt down plates are used to keep the scale from sliding or moving when loads are applied. The plates are bolted via anchors at each of the scale's feet. Installation: 1. Place the platform in position. 2. Place the bolt-down plate under the foot, plate edge extending out from under the scale. 3. Drill the two holes using a hammer drill.
2. Drill holes using a hammer drill or its equivilent. Clean the hole thoroughly. Insert the anchor(s) with the nut and washer in place. Tap the anchor(s) into the hole(s) and tighten the nuts securely. D. Pit Frames: The pit frame accessory is a one-piece welded unit with no additional welding required. This accessory is designed for in-floor applications. In general, a hole is cut in the concrete, the pit frame accessory is installed in the hole, then concrete is poured around and under the frame.
Wire 2x4 Frame Assy Pit 50604-2 • Use the drawing in Appendix III for measurements, concrete specifications and amounts. • Make sure the conduit for the scale cable is in place and secured into the frame opening. • Pour the concrete around and under the frame ensuring a smooth and level finish. • If a drain is required, form the pit to provide a slope in the pit floor to the drain. Refer to the drawings in the Appendix. • Cure to a minimum of 2000 psi before cutting wire.
Section 4: Maintenance and Service A. Load Cell Replacement: 1. Remove power to the indicator. 2. Remove the platform access cover then the junction box cover and disconnect the failed load cell cable at the junction box. Loosen the gland bushing and tie a string or wire to the end of the cable to act as a pull wire. (Check that all cells have wire markers on the cable ends. If not, identify cells with wire markers or other means). 3. Lift the platform end and secure using wood blocks for safety. 4.

Open the platform access cover, then the box cover. 3. Loosen all gland bushing nuts. 4. Check that all load cells have wire markers on the cable ends.
C. Foot Assembly Replacement: 1. Lift the platform end and secure using wood blocks for safety. 2. Remove the bolt which goes through the load cell and post of the foot. 3. Pull the foot assembly out of the load cell. 4. Lubricate the “O” ring on the new foot assembly and re-insert the post of the new assembly into the load cell. 5. Align the bolt hole in the part with the bolt hole in the load cell. 6. Install the bolt and tighten. 7. Removing the safety blocks, lower the scale to the surface. 8.
