The Summit 3000 floor scale is a fully electronic, low profile floor scale that comes in sizes from 36 in x 36 in (.91 m x .91 m) to 60 in x 60 in (1.52 m x 1.52 m), and capacities from 2K- to 10K-lbs (1000–5000 kg). All models use four corner-mounted, NTEP-certified, alloy steel shear beam load cells, with the cells recessed into the frame channels for protection.
20-ft length of load cell cable. All Summit 3000 models have one threaded eyebolt hole located in the center of the deck to allow installation of an eyebolt hook for use when lifting the scale with chains.
Assembly The following paragraphs give instructions for installing and adjusting the scale feet and anchor plate. 2.4.1 Installing and adjusting feet 2.4.2 Anchor Plate Installation For load cell protection during shipping, the scale feet For permanent applications, the scale should be are shipped separately from the floor scale.
Twenty feet of 6-wire cable to connect the scale to the weight indicator is supplied with each scale. The junction box is easily accessible through a top access plate located on the top of the Summit 3000. Use the following steps to wire up the junction box.
Debris, floor sweepings, or material spills may accumulate in the pit and interfere with scale operation. You should periodically clean the pit. All sizes of the Summit 3000 have a threaded hole centrally located for eyebolts so the scale can be easily lifted from the pit.
Figure 2-6. Section Showing Installed Summit 3000 and Pit Frame Access Ramps Access ramps for Summit 3000 floor scales are designed to bolt to the floor, with built-in mounting plates that attach to the scale feet. When used with access ramps, side movement of the scale is automatically eliminated, and no other mounting plates are necessary.
The indicator must be connected and calibrated approximately, but it need not indicate the exact weight value. A test weight is required. The recommended test weight for all Summit 3000 models is 25% of scale capacity: for example, 500 lbs for 2K-lb models, 2500 lbs for 10K-lb models.
70% - 80% of the scale’s capacity. If several weights are used, they should be evenly distributed around the platform. Perform a span calibration. Remove the test weights and check the zero reading. Repeat the calibration process if necessary. Summit 3000 Installation Manual...
