INSTALLATION
Unpacking (APS10, APS160, APS15 and APS30)
Remove the scale from the shipping carton. Remove all packing material and then examine
the scale to make certain there is no shipping damage. Should damage be discovered contact
the shipping company as soon as possible. The packing material and shipping carton should
be retained for possible examination by the shipping company.
Determine where the scale is to be located. It should be a smooth surface capable of
supporting both the scale and any load to be placed on the scale. It should not be in direct
sunlight nor should it be subject to air flow from heating/cooling vents, fans or similar devices.
Plug-in the 12VDC adapter to use scale. Refer to Electrical Power section of this manual for
more instruction. The scale is now ready for use.
Unpacking and Setup (APS70 and APS150)
1. Remove the scale display, hardware pack, power supply, scale cover and scale base
assembly from the shipping carton. Remove all packing material and then examine the
scale to make certain there is no shipping damage. Should damage be discovered contact
the shipping company as soon as possible. The packing material and shipping carton
should be retained for possible examination by the shipping company.
2. Remove the four leveling feet from the hardware pack and install in each corner of the
bottom of the scale base. NOTE: Leveling feet must be in place to operate the scale.
3. To mount the display on the scale base, use the two included mounting screws in the
hardware pack. Insert the screws through the two holes in the scale display bracket and
attach the bracket to the scale base. Route the cable into the scale and plug into scale
display port (see interconnection section for port location and more information).
4. Determine where the scale is to be located. It should be a smooth surface capable of
supporting both the scale and any load to be placed on the scale. It should not be in direct
sunlight nor should it be subject to air flow from heating/cooling vents, fans or similar
devices.
5. Plug-in 12VDC adapter to use scale. Refer to Electrical Power section of this manual for
more instruction.
6. The scale is now ready for use.
Level Adjustment
Place the scale in the chosen location and remove the stainless steel platform. The platform
can be removed by lifting upward on it removing it from the weighbridge. Locate the small
level indicator on the scale base to the right of the display and check to make certain that the
scale is level.
NOT LEVEL LEVEL
Bubble is not Bubble is
If the level indicator does not show a level indication, the
mounting feet should be adjusted to obtain a level
condition. To adjust a mounting foot, first loosen the lock
nut then turn the mounting foot in the required direction to
raise or lower that corner of the scale. Once a level
condition has been achieved, secure the mounting foot
settings by tightening each of the lock nuts. Replace the
platform on the weighbridge.

INSTALLATION, CONT.
Electrical Power
The APS Enterprise scale has been designed to operate from a 100 to 240 VAC 50/60Hz 12
VDC 1A wall plug-in UL/CSA listed AC power adapter. Note that a special order is not
required for operation at 230 VAC.
On installations requiring 230 VAC power, it is the responsibility of the customer
to have a qualified electrician install the proper power adapter plug that conforms to
national electrical codes and local codes and ordinances.
Electrical Noise Interference
To prevent electrical noise interference, make certain all other wall outlets for use with air
conditioning and heating equipment, lighting or other equipment with heavily inductive loads,
such as welders, motors and solenoids are on circuits separate from the scale. Many of these
disturbances originate within the building itself and can seriously affect the operation of the
scale. These sources of disturbances must be identified and steps must be taken to prevent
possible adverse effects on the scale. Examples of available alternatives include isolation
transformers, power regulators, uninterruptible power supplies, or simple line filters.
Transient Suppression
The following recommendations will help to reduce transients:
Do not run signal cables from the scale along side or parallel to wiring carrying AC power.
If unavoidable, position the signal cables a minimum of 24" away from all AC wiring.
Always use arc suppressors across all AC power relay contacts (see recommendations at
http://www.paktron.com/pdf/Quencharch_QRL.pdf
).
Interconnections
All input, output and power connections to the APS Enterprise scale are made internally to the
main board inside the scale. Connections for the scale display, remote display and OPOS
compatible serial device are made using RJ11 snap-in modular connectors. The USB port is a
device (or upstream) port using an industry standard “B” connector. The 12VDC 1A wall plugin UL/CSA listed AC power adapter is connected using a power jack.
