1. INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! You have chosen the highest quality stainless steel or mild steel
platform available today. The Doran Platform Series provides you, the user, with the
ultimate in scale durability and flexibility. The combination of the rugged construction
and high quality, water resistant load cell is designed to provide the highest degree of
accuracy while maintaining the durability necessary to hold up to hostile industrial
environments.

Please be sure to read this entire manual to assure yourself of getting all the benefits
of these and the other features of the Doran Platform Series.

All scale platforms are backed by a full 2 year factory warranty. Should you have any
problem, contact your authorized Doran Scale dealer or call Doran Scales' service
department direct at [phone] or [phone] for assistance.

Do not return a scale platform to the factory without first obtaining a Return Material
Authorization (RMA) number from Doran.

2. UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION

**CAUTION**

Before proceeding to unpack your scale platform please note that although it is a
highly durable industrial scale platform it is also a sensitive weighing instrument.
Normal care should be taken when handling and using the scale platform. Please
observe the following precautions to insure years of trouble free service from your
scale platform.

* DO NOT drop the scale platform.
* DO NOT drop objects onto the scale platform.
* DO NOT pick up the scale platform by the "spider"
* DO NOT immerse the scale platform.
* DO NOT wash the scale with corrosive solutions.

Improper handling, abuse, or use of corrosive solutions can cause scale failure and
damage to the platform. This may void your warranty and result in costly repairs to
your unit.

Carefully remove the scale platform and the platter from the shipping carton. Be sure
to retain the shipping carton and all packing material in case reshipment is required.

When choosing a location for the scale platform, keep in mind that the spot should be
on a sturdy horizontal surface that is free of vibration and air currents. Vibration from
heavy equipment or appliances and air currents from fans, heating ducts, etc. . can
cause bounce on the scale display.

Place the scale platform in its desired location. Level the platform by adjusting the
four corner feet until the bubble in the bubble level, located beneath the top platter of
the platform, is within the center circle. After a level condition is achieved, test for a
stable condition by trying to rock the platform backward and forward and side to side.
Adjust the feet for final levelness and stability.

3. ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS

The following chart illustrates the load cell output based on the capacity of the scale
platform (in lb) and load cell capacity (in kg). The load cell output is based on a
nominal output of 2mV/V at rated load cell capacity (i.e. if 30kg is placed on a 30kg
load cell it will have an output of approximately 2mV/V).

4. LOAD CELL CABLE LEGEND

The following legend describes the load cell cable color code with the description of
each colored wire in the cable. Please note that it is important to make sure that the
scale platform is electrically connected to earth ground either through the load cell
cable shield (via the lug terminated green wire) or by directly connecting the scale
platform to earth ground with an additional wire. This will reduce static and other
noise from being induced into the indicator.

For a 6-wire indicator, color code is as follows:

Wire Color Function

Red + Signal
White - Signal
Green + Excitation
Black - Excitation
Blue + Sense
Brown(or Yellow) - Sense
Green with star lug,(shield) scale platform ground

For a 4-wire indicator, color code is as follows:

Wire Color Function

Red + Signal
White - Signal
Green and Blue* + Excitation
Black and Brown(or Yellow)* - Excitation
Green with star lug(shield) scale platform ground

Note :Connect the +sense and +excitation together as well as the -sense and

-excitation together.
