INSTRUCTIONS

DCS302 DUAL CYLINDER LOAD CELL SCALE

1. Before placing scale in operation remove the six (6) plastic stops and the
aluminum shipping plate located on the underside of the scale.

2. Determine service location of scale and position base 2 1/2-inches or
more from the wall.

3. Anchor scale base securely to smooth, level floor using 3/8-inch anchor
bolts (not supplied) through the four (4) 1/2-inch diameter holes in the corners of
the scale base. It is recommended that the floor be level to within 0.5 degree for
optimal performance.

4. Mount NEMA 4X EI-2000 Dual Channel Digital Display Instrument to a
suitable and convenient wall surface. Remove instrument cover and mount
instrument to the wall with #10 screws or suitably sized masonry or hollow wall
anchors, as applicable. The instrument case has four (4) through holes, as
shown in the Operating Manual, located on 5 3/8-inch centers horizontally and 5
5/8-inch centers vertically.

5. Route the cable provided, and factory terminated at the scale, to the
display instrument. Make wiring connections as shown on pages 13 and 14 of
the "EI-2000 Dual Channel Weight & Level Display/Transmitter Operating
Manual" for the "DCS302 Dual Cylinder Scale".

6. Follow instructions in the Operating Manual for startup and calibration of
the EI-2000. The scale base is factory calibrated using known weights and is
ready for use when received.
