About this manual General information and warnings 1.1 About this manual This manual is divided into chapters by the chapter number and the large text at the top of a page. Subsections are labeled using the 1.1 and 1.1.1 convention. The names of the chapter and the next subsection level appear at the top of alternating pages of the manual to remind you of where you are in the manual.
1 General information and warnings 1.2 Installation NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS. REFER TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL FOR SERVICE. 1.2.1 Torque specifications CAUTION: The acorn nuts holding the back plate of the indicator in place must each be tightened, in multiple passes, in the following pattern to a final torque of 0.68 N-m (approximately 6 in-lbs) to ensure proper gasket sealing.
The optional 2nd Scale Input 5VDC & 10VDC Excitation Modules also include the AWT25-501388 Ferrite for use on the ZM401 & ZM405 Panel Mount Models. The Ferrites are not needed on the stainless steel desktop models as the Shield of the Scale Interface cable terminates directly to the studs on the bottom of the enclosure.
