Quick Start Guide
ASSEMBLY
Both the T51P and T51XW connect to a base scale through a Load Cell Cable that connects to
the Indicator's Main Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Each model has a mounting bracket that can
be attached to a column mount bracket or a wall mount. To remove the mounting bracket,
remove the threaded knobs, holding the Indicator by hand.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. REMOVE ALL POWER CONNECTIONS TO THE
INDICATOR BEFORE MAKING INTERNAL CONNECTIONS.
The process of opening the Housing varies slightly for each model:
T51P:
1. Remove the four Phillips head screws
from the rear housing.
2. Open the housing; disconnect the
ribbon cable from the top of the PCB.
