  • Page 6: Installation Above Ground

    Installation Above ground Installation It is recommended to lag bolt the ramp in place to keep the scale from moving during use. First position the scale and ramp in the location that you intend on using the scale, ensure that the scale is away from general traffic and that the chosen area is protected from water, misc.
  • Page 7 Now that the ramp is secured to the floor the scale base can be placed back into the ramp. Ensure that the load cell feet sit within the foot retaining plate hole as shown in the image below. Correct foot positioning in the retaining plate. Level the scale by adjusting the load cell feet through the access holes using a flathead screwdriver shown in the image below.
  • Page 8: Installation In-Ground

    In-ground Installation The in-ground scale installation will require installation prior to concrete floor installation or the cutting of the existing concrete floor for the scale to be installed. This is the more labor-intensive of the two installations but is also the most desirable installation as the scale is flush with the floor allowing the scale to be walked on/around as if it is part of the floor.
  • Page 9 Now that the pit frame has been completed, place the scale base in the pit frame ensuring that there is roughly an equal amount of gap between the pit frame and scale base around its perimeter. Note: Ensure that the interconnect cable is pulled through the conduit at the same time the scale base is being installed to keep the cable from tangling up or having the scale rest on the cable after its installed.
  • Page 10: Indicator Termination, Calibration

    Indicator Termination and Calibration It is the recommendation of B-TEK to have your scale calibrated and tested by a certified scale company. This should not only be done for the installation but periodically throughout the year as well. Having this done not only protects you and your patients but also gives you peace of mind knowing your scale is in good working order and working as it is intended to work.
