Introduction
THE TSM SERIES WEIGHING PLATFORM
The TSM Series Floor Scale weighing platform is a fully electronic, low profile platform, engineered to provide years of reliable service. It is available in wide range of sizes from 24” x 24” to 96” x 120”, and capacities from 1,000 lbs to 20,000 lbs.
All platforms are equipped with four, corner mounted NTEP approved loadcells that are recessed into the scale frame for protection. Also included is a signal­trim summing board enclosed in a watertight junction box. The junction box is accessible from the top of the scale for ease of service.
The platform utilizes precision “ball and cup” style adjustable leveling feet designed to compensate for irregularities in the floor.

DIGITAL INDICATOR
TSM weighing platforms are typically shipped as a complete weighing system which includes a factory calibrated digital indicator.
For operation of the scale/digital indicator, please see the User’s Guide that is included with the digital indicator.
BE SURE TO UNPACK ALL ITEMS IN THE DIGITAL INDICATOR SHIPPING CARTON.
The scale comes factory calibrated with the digital indicator. There is no need to calibrate the scale. Do not attempt to calibrate the scale without contacting a qualified scale technician or the factory.

Weighing Platform Set Up
SITE PREPARATION
The scale should not be loaded beyond its capacity. Do not select a site where overweight loads would have to cross the platform. Avoid areas where the scale might receive damaging side impacts from wheels or forklift tines.
The interface cable that connects the scale platform to the digital indicator MUST be protected from crushing, cutting, or moisture damage. Protecting the cable with conduit is recommended.
THE MOST COMMON REASON FOR THE SCALE TO BECOME INOPERABLE IS DUE TO INTERFACE CABLE DAMAGE. BE SURE TO PROTECT THE CABLE AND KEEP IT OUT OF HARM’S WAY.
For best results, the scale should be installed on smooth level concrete. Installing the scale on dirt, gravel or asphalt is not acceptable.
INSTALLING AND LEVELING THE PLAFTORM
1. Locate the four leveling feet (typically packed with the digital indicator). On the underside of the weighing platform, thread the leveling feet all the way into each of the four loadcells located at the corners of the platform.
2. Place the scale on the floor in the location of intended use. Remove all shipping guards.
3. Adjust any “high” corners not in contact with the floor by inserting a flat blade screwdriver into the top access hole over the leveling foot, and with a clockwise motion, screw the

foot downward until solid contact is made with the floor.
4. When all feet are in contact with the floor, check the platform with a level to make sure it is within ¼ inch of level.
5. MAKE CERTAIN that the platform does not rock from corner to corner. Any amount of rocking will result in inaccurate weighing.
6. If desired, tighten the jam-nut against the bottom of the load cell to lock the foot into place.

Connecting The Digital Indicator To The Weighing Platform
STANDARD TSM SERIES DIGITAL INDICATORS
The TSM Series Low Profile Scale is typically purchased as a complete, factory calibrated weighing system, which includes a compatible digital indicator and all required cables and cords. The digital indicator model will vary according to which floor scale system was purchased. This section covers connecting the TSM floor scale platform to digital indicator models TS-700 MS, TS-700 SS and 7600e.
THE CONNECTING CABLE WILL BE FOUND IN ONE OF TWO LOCATIONS, DEPENDING ON THE MODEL OF INDICATOR PURCHASED. IT WILL BE IN THE SHIPPING CARTON WITH THE INDICATOR, OR BUNDLED INSIDE THE JUNCTION BOX AREA INSIDE THE WEIGHING PLATFORM.
For all Models: Locate the junction box access
plate on the outside edge of the weighing platform deck. Unscrew the two screws and remove the plate.
Connect the indicator to the platform according to the model, as follows:
CONNECTING A TS-700 MS INDICATOR (The interface cable is pre-wired to the weighing platform junction box and it quick-connects to the digital indicator)
1. Feed the cable out of the junction box area through the hole at the bottom of the cavity.
2. Connect the cable to the digital indicator.
Set Up Guide | Floor Scale
7
a. Gently insert the cable connector into
the socket on the underside of the digital indicator and fully press in.
b. Screw on the connecting collar and
lightly tighten down.
3. Replace the junction box access plate.
4. Connect the AC adapter to the indicator and then to the wall outlet.
5. Turn the Indicator on. After the power up sequence the display should indicate Zero. If it does not, press the ZERO key.
6. When the scale reads Zero it is ready for use.
CONNECTING A TS-700 SS INDICATOR
-- OR -­CONNECTING A 7600E INDICATOR
(The interface cable is pre-wired to the digital indicator and requires connecting the five wire leads into the weighing platform junction box)
1. Feed the five wire leads of the cable up through the hole in the bottom plate of the junction box area inside the weighing platform. Gently pull a generous amount of slack cable up through the hole.
2. Remove the junction box faceplate.
3. REFERING TO THE FOLLOWING FIG. 3.0 JBOX WIRING DIAGRAM:
a. Using a small Flat head screwdriver,
loosen the terminal screws.
b. Feed the five wire leads into the junction
box through the watertight collar.
Set Up Guide | Floor Scale

c. Carefully insert the bare end of the wire
into the terminal opening.
d. While holding the wire in position,
tighten down the terminal screw. After tightening, gently pull the wire to make sure it’s secure.
e. Repeat the process for the remaining
wires.
WHEN INSERTING THE WIRE INTO THE
TERMINAL CLAMP, MAKE SURE THE CLAMP SECURES THE BARE WIRE AND NOT THE COLORED INSULATION OF THE WIRE.
IF THE BARE END OF THE WIRE IS NOT
PROPERLY SECURED, THE SCALE WILL NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY! THIS WILL BE THE MOST LIKELY CAUSE OF ANY PROBLEM YOU MAY HAVE WHEN USING THE SCALE FOR THE FIRST TIME.
4. Once all the wires are secure, pull out any excess slack in the cable through the liquid tight fitting.
5. Tighten the liquid tight fitting nut to secure the cable to prevent moisture from entering the junction box.
6. Replace the junction box faceplate.
7. Replace the junction box access plate.
8. Connect the AC adapter to the indicator and then to the wall outlet. If the unit has and AC power cord, connect it to the wall outlet.

9. Turn the Indicator on. After the power up sequence the display should indicate Zero. If it does not, press the ZERO key.
10. When the digital indicator displays “0” the scale is ready for use.

A.2 Periodic Maintenance
The TSM Series Low Profile Scale is designed and engineered to require very little maintenance. Follow the basic guidelines below:
1. Periodically clean any debris from under and around the scale. If debris such as broken wood from pallets wedges between the scale platform and the ground or a ramp, erratic weights will result.
2. Provide adequate clearance for free platform movement. Make sure a ramp(s) is not touching the scale. Remove any debris under and around the scale platform.
3. Make sure the scale is level. Adjust the leveling feet if required to make sure all four feet are in contact with the floor.
4. Periodic Calibration Notes a. The scale is shipped factory calibrated. b. It is recommended you have your scale
calibrated once a year with Test Weights to assure accuracy.
c. You should refer to your quality system
guidelines to determine your particular calibration frequency.
d. If calibration is required, refer to the
indicator manual to determine the correct calibration procedures.
e. For optimum calibration, load the scale with
Test Weights equal to 70%-80% of the scales capacity.
f. The scale may be calibrated with less Test
Weight. Try to use at least 40% of the scales capacity if possible.
Set Up Guide | Floor Scale

g. Calibrating the scale with anything other
than industry standard test weights is not recommended or reliable. Refer to your own quality standards to determine what kind of test weight is acceptable.
