1.0 INTRODUCTION The TSM5-28-LS scale is a fully electronic weighing system, engineered for years of reliable service. It has four corner-mounted NTEP approved loadcells that are recessed into the scale frame for protection. Also included is a signal-trim summing board enclosed in a watertight junction box. The junction box is accessible from the top of the scale for ease of service and installation.
2.0 PLATFORM INSTALLATION After unpacking the scale, a small amount of preparation is required before the scale can be used for weighing. 2.1 Site Preparation The scale should not be loaded beyond its capacity. Do not select a site where overweight loads would have to cross the platform. Avoid areas where the scale might receive damaging side impacts from wheels or forklift tines.
3.0 CONNECTING THE DIGITAL INDICATOR TO THE PLATFORM The TSM5-28-LS Scale is generally purchased with the TS-700 SS digital indicator. This section covers connecting the TS-700 SS digital indicator with the Alleyway weighing platform. The scale interface cable is pre-wired to the TS-700 SS digital indicator. STEP 1: Access the junction box by removing the screws that secure the access plate on the side of the Alleyway weighing platform. 3.1 Connecting the TS-700 SS Digital Indicator 1.
5. To connect the wires to the terminals, follow the instructions below: a. Using a small Flat head screwdriver, loosen the terminal screws. This will open the terminal clamps so that you can insert the wire. b. Carefully insert the bare end of the wire between the terminal clamps. c. While holding the wire in position, use the screwdriver to tighten the terminal screw. The clamps will close around the wire. After it is tight give the wire a small tug to make sure it’s secure. d.
. Replace the junction box cover. 9. Replace the junction box access plate. 10. Connect the AC adapter to the indicator and then to the wall outlet. If the unit has and AC power cord, connect it to the wall outlet. 11. Turn the Indicator on. After the power up sequence the display should indicate Zero. If it does not, press the ZERO key. 12. When the scale reads Zero it is ready for use.
APPENDIX A: TROUBLESHOOTING AND PERIODIC MAINTAINANCE A.1 Troubleshooting Guide Problem The system does not operate – No Display Possible Problem and Corrective Action • Power disconnected or bad power supply: Check outlet first. Test the AC adapter or power supply. • Indicator fuse blown: Replace fuse, check for cause. • Interface Cable cut or disconnected: Replace or Properly repair cable • Interface Cable wiring problem: Check connections inside junction box and at indicator.
A.2 Periodic Maintenance The TSM Series Low Profile Scale is designed and engineered to require very little maintenance. Follow the basic guidelines below: 1. Periodically clean any debris from under and around the scale. If debris such as broken wood from pallets wedges between the scale platform and the ground or a ramp, erratic weights will result. 2. Provide adequate clearance for free platform movement. Make sure a ramp(s) is not touching the scale.
