Precautions; Installation; Mounting - Cardinal 204 Operation Manual

In general, the 204 indicator will perform well
within a temperature range of
14 to 104 °F (-10 to +40 °C ).
In order to keep cooling requirements to a
minimum, the indicator should be placed out
of direct sunlight and to provide adequate air
circulation, keep the area around the indicator
clear.
Make certain the indicator is not directly in
front of a heating or cooling vent. Such a
location will subject the indicator to sudden
temperature changes which may result in
unstable weight readings.
Insure that the indicator has good, clean AC
power and is properly grounded.
In areas subject to lightning strikes, additional
protection to minimize lightning damage, such
as surge suppressors, should be installed.
Before beginning installation of your 204 weight indicator, make certain that it has been
received in good condition. Carefully remove the indicator from the shipping carton and
inspect it for any evidence of damage (such as exterior dents and scratches) that may have
taken place during shipment. Keep the carton and packing material for return shipment if it
should become necessary. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to file all claims for any
damages or loss incurred during transit.
Should your 204 come already installed on a scale, the following information describing the
installation of the indicator does not apply to you.

Mounting

Begin the installation by deciding where the indicator is to be mounted. The 204 indicator may
come mounted on a column or you may choose to mount it on a desktop or wall. Refer to
Figure No. 1 for illustrations of the mounting bracket. Two (2) holes are located in the
mounting bracket for attachment to the wall. This bracket may be removed or left in place for
desktop use.
Regardless of how and where you mount your 204, it should be in a safe area where it will not
be in the way of normal traffic. The location chosen should be free of temperature extremes
and water. It should be in a location where the display is easily viewed and is not subject to
direct sunlight. The indicator should be mounted such that it is within easy reach of the
operator. If wall mounted, make certain that the structure and mounting bolts are of sufficient
strength to support the 204. The mounting bracket should be securely fastened to the wall or
column top so that it cannot break loose from the mounting surface. After the 204 has been
mounted, it may be connected to the plug-in power supply or the batteries may be installed.
