Unpacking and Assembly
1. When opening the shipping carton, notice that the indicator head and
support column or stand are shipped detached from the scale platform.
2. Remove all assemblies from the shipping carton. Notice that the head and
scale platform are joined by a load cell cable. This cable is correctly
wired to the load cell terminal in the indicator head. Do not to pull with
excessive force on the connections at either end of this cable.
3. If mounting the head onto a column, remove the platter from the scale
platform and set aside.
4. Invert the platform so you have access to the column mounting bolts on
the rear and bottom of the platform. Remove the four bolts.
5. Position the column over the platform mounting holes. Install the four
bolts and tighten them snugly. Install the two feet provided in the hard-
ware kit onto the column.
6. Turn the CW-80 Checkweigher upright and replace the platter on the
platform.
7. Attach the head to the column with the two bolts provided in the hardware
kit.
If mounting the indicator head to the table/wall stand, simply attach the
head with the two bolts provided in the hardware kit.
