Installation; Ac Power Adapter - Cardinal 204 Installation And Technical Manual

Unpacking
Carefully remove indicator from shipping carton and inspect it for any damage that may have
taken place during shipment. Keep carton and packing material for return shipment if it should
become necessary. The purchaser is responsible for filing all claims for any damages or loss
incurred during transit.
NOTE: Should your indicator come already installed on a scale, the following
installation information does not apply to you.
Mounting
The Model 204 Weight Indicator may come mounted on a column or it may be mounted on a
desktop or other smooth, flat, horizontal surface or it may be mounted on a wall using two (2)
#10 screws placed 6.00 inches apart on the wall. Refer to Figure No. 1 for illustrations of the
mounting bracket. This bracket may be removed or left in place for desktop use.
Regardless of how and where you mount indicator, 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, is not subject to direct sunlight and should be mounted where the display is easily
viewed and within easy reach of the operator.
If wall mounted, make certain the structure and mounting bolts are of sufficient strength to
support the indicator. The mounting bracket should be securely fastened to the wall so it
cannot break loose.
