This manual contains installation, operation and maintenance instructions for the i-DFP1500B1 and i-DFP1500C1 Series U-Pallet Scale.
Figure 1. i-DFP1500B1 and i-DFP1500C1 U-Pallet Scales.
THE U-PALLET SCALE IS HEAVY, MOVING THE SCALE MAY REQUIRE THE ASSISTANCE OF ANOTHER PERSON OR THE USE OF A SUITABLE LIFTING DEVICE. Unpacking
Positioning
Ensure the surface is flat in the area where the U-Pallet scale will be positioned, especially in the region of the load cell feet. Small differences in height can be compensated by adjusting the load cell feet.
Connecting an Indicator
For users who buy the whole Defender 3000 floor scale:
The connection has already been made and no additional installation is required. If you want to connect the base to another indicator in the future, you can refer to the wiring code in Table 1.
For users who buy the Defender 3000 base:
When connecting the base to an indicator that does not have the matching connector, install the optional load cell cable adapter (P/N 30429931 sold separately) to the indicator using the wiring codes in Table 2. Then attach the load cell cable to the cable adapter.
In addition, as an alternate wiring method, you can also cut off the connector, strip the wires and attach them to the indicator using the wiring codes in Table 2.
The extension cable accessory (P/N: 30429931) cannot be used if the scale will be used in a legal for trade or legally controlled application, because there is no provision to seal the connection between the indicator and platform.
Ensure that the cable is protected against possible damage when routed to the Indicator.
