INSTALLATION GUIDE 60,000 lb x 20 lb Factory Calibrated Includes Pre-interfaced Wireless Remote LED Scoreboard Displays V 1.0
OVERVIEW TOOLS REQUIRED Forklift and block Prybar Wrenches: #8 allen wrench, 15/16 & 30mm ratchet or pneumatic wrench ESTIMATED TIME REQUIRED TO SET UP THE SYSTEM 10-12 hrs RECOMMENDED NUMBER OF PERSONS TO SET UP THE SYSTEM Two ASSEMBLY SYNOPSIS Assembly of the scale is a very straightforward procedure. Most of the required assembly time is in positioning the large, heavy platforms. The platforms are labeled in sequence at each junction. Once in place, the platforms are secured together with brackets. All brackets are labeled to match up to the platform junctions. The end ramps are secured to the platforms with a single bolt. Each scale platform has a cable that runs directly to one of the three digital indicators. All cables have quick connectors that are plainly labeled. The cables from the right side weighing platforms pass through the left side platforms (at a junction) and then connect to the digital indicators. The cables from the left side weighing platforms run directly to the digital indicators. The digital indicators display the weight of the steering axle, the drive axles, and the trailer axles. The Trailer Axles Indicator displays three weights: Trailer Axle Scale 1, Trailer Axle Scale 2, and the total weight of both Trailer Axle Scales. The wireless remote displays are factory-interfaced and require no setup (related digital indicator must be operating). 2
Important Note: The location of the scale installation is very important. The scale MUST be installed on a level concrete surface. Never install the scale on asphalt. Asphalt is not hard enough to take heavy loads and the scale will sink into the asphalt over time. Ample space must be available for vehicles to accurately approach and exit the platforms. 1. UNPACK & VERIFY CONTENTS Below is a list of the parts and quantities: Weighing Platforms, Blue (8) Ramps, Blue (4) Spacer Platforms, Yellow (8) Platform Connector Brackets (28) Bracket Bolts (112) ¾ Anchor Bolts for Platforms (64) ½ Anchor Bolts for Digital Indicator Stands (12) 100 ft Connecting Cables with Quick-connect Sockets (4) 50 ft Connecting Cables with Quick-connect Sockets (4) Digital Indicators (3) Digital Indicator Stands (3) Wireless Scoreboard Remote Displays (3) 2. PLAN YOUR SET UP Refer to the System Setup Diagram on page 8 for planning your set up. Determine the track width of the vehicles to be weighed on the scale, as this will determine the distance required between the left and right platforms. After the locations of the platforms have been determined, it may be helpful to snap chalk lines to refer to when fork lifting the platforms into position. 3. FORKLIFT THE PLATFORMS INTO POSITION Refer to the System Setup Diagram on page 8 when fork lifting the platforms into position. Locate the two blue weighing platforms labeled R14 and L14. Per the System Setup Diagram, place these two platforms at the approach end of the platform arrangement. Following the System Setup Diagram, continue placing the left and right platforms into position, matching the end labels in sequence. Be sure to continually check the platform positions for running in a straight line, and for consistent spacing between the left side and right side platforms. 4. ATTACH THE PLATFORM BRACKETS Refer to the System Setup Diagram on page 8 when attaching the platform brackets. Place all brackets into positions as marked to match up to the platform junctions 3
(when attaching, the brackets can be turned over so that the markings face inward). Loosely bolt all brackets into position. Recheck that all platforms are in correct position (a pry bar may be useful for making small adjustments to the platform positions), and then securely tighten down all brackets. 5. ATTACH THE FOUR RAMPS Place the ramps into position and securely bolt down to the end platforms. 6. CHECK PLATFORMS FOR ROCKING Check all weighing platforms for corner-to-corner rocking. Shim as needed. 7. LOOSEN AND ADJUST THE CHECKING BOLTS ON THE WEIGHING PLATFORMS Three checking bolts are located at the end of each weighing platform. These bolts are tightened down for shipping. IMPORTANT In order for the scales to work properly, all checking bolts on all weighing platforms must be adjusted after receiving the scale. Adjust the checking bolts on each platform as follows: Using a #8 allen wrench, remove all the weighing platform access panels. Referring to the diagram below: Back out the two side bolts, and adjust to a 1/2 gap between the end of the bolt and the internal frame. Back out the end nut, and adjust to 1/2 gap between the nut and the inner frame floor. Replace all access panel covers and securely fasten. 4
8. ATTACH THE CABLES CONNECTING THE WEIGIHING PLATFORMS TO THE DIGITAL INDICATORS Refer to the System Setup Diagram on page 8 when connecting the cables. NOTE: Cables should be run through securely mounted conduit. The customer determines the conduit installation. Conduit installation is not covered in this Assembly Guide. Connecting the cables is a simple procedure. The eight cables are equipped with quick-connect sockets at both ends, enabling easy connection to the weighing platforms and to the digital indicators. All weighing platforms have quick-connect sockets on short cables. For protection during shipping, these connectors are tucked inside the platform. Hang tags are attached to the cables. Gently pull out the short quick-connect cable through the cable exit opening on each weighing platform. Locate the four 100 ft. cables with connectors labeled 3A, 3B, 3C and 3D. ATTACH THE CABLES TO THE RIGHT SIDE WEIGHING PLATFORMS Cables 1B, 2B, 3B and 3D connect to the Right Side Weighing Platforms, and pass through the Left Side Platforms at junction L1-L2, then run to the digital indicators located on the left side of the system for viewing by the driver of the truck being weighed. Attach the long cable connector 1B to the matching weighing platform connector 1B. Attach the long cable connector 2B to the matching weighing platform connector 2B. Attach the long cable connector 3B to the matching weighing platform connector 3B. Attach the long cable connector 3D to the matching weighing platform connector 3D. Pass the cables through the Left Side Platforms at junction L1-L2 (between the blue Steering Axle Scale and the yellow spacer platform). Do not connect to digital indicators at this point. 5
Locate the four 50 ft. cables with connectors labeled 1A, 2A, 3A and 3C. ATTACH THE CABLES TO THE LEFT SIDE WEIGHING PLATFORMS Cables 1A, 2A, 3A and 3C connect to the Left Side Weighing Platforms, and run directly to the digital indicators. Attach the long cable connector 1A to the matching weighing platform connector 1A. Attach the long cable connector 2A to the matching weighing platform connector 2A. Attach the long cable connector 3A to the matching weighing platform connector 3A. Attach the long cable connector 3C to the matching weighing platform connector 3C. 9. CONNECT WEIGHING PLATFORM CABLES TO THE DIGITAL INDICATORS Refer to the System Setup Diagram on page 8 when connecting the cables. IMPORTANT Do not mount the digital indicators on stands at this point. Indicators mounted on stands that have not been anchored are prone to severe damage from being knocked over. Place the indicators on a bench or cart for initial connecting and testing of the system. Before plugging in the digital indicators to 110VAC, connect all weighing platform cables to the digital indicators, being sure to match up all of the connector labels, i.e., the 1A cable connects to the 1A connector on the Steering Axle digital indicator. 11. POWER ON AND TEST THE SYSTEM Plug the digital indicators in to 110VAC. Power on the digital indicators by pressing the red ON key and allow the system to warm up several seconds. Plug in the wireless scoreboard remote displays to 110 VAC. After a few moments, all displays should read 0 lb. If not, press the ZERO key (not the number 0 key). If displays do not read 0 lb, recheck all connections. Be sure to power off the indicators before making any changes to the connections. If for any reason the displays will not read 0 lb, contact Triner Scale technical support toll free at (800) 238-0152, Mon-Fri 8:00 4:30 CST. With all displays indicating 0 lb, place at least 200 lb of weight on each of the eight weighing platforms. The steering axle scale indicator and wireless remote will display the total weight placed on platforms 1A and 1B. The drive axles scale indicator and wireless remote will display the total weight placed on platforms 2A and 2B. 6
The trailer axles scale indicator will display: the total weight placed on platforms 3A and 3B, the total weight placed on platforms 3C and 3D, and the total of all weights placed on platforms 3A through 3D. The wireless remote will display the total of all weights placed on platforms 3A through 3D. 11. ANCHOR THE SYSTEM AND MOUNT THE DISPLAYS After rechecking the platforms for corner-to-corner rocking and making any needed adjustments, anchor the platforms using the provided ¾ anchor bolts. Weighing platform anchor locations are under the access panels. Spacer platforms have anchor tabs. Anchor the digital indicator stands using the provided ½ anchor bolts. Mount the indicators to the anchored stands. Mount the wireless scoreboard remote displays as required.
