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.

OPTIONS

• Foot Retaining Plates

• Access Ramps

• Side Protection Guards

• Indicator Mounting Stand

• Pit Frame for In-ground Installations

UNPACKING THE PLATFORM

All Triner Low Profile Floor Scale weighing
platforms are shipped LTL on a pallet. Remove
the packing material and inspect the scale for
any damage that may have been caused during
shipment.

THE DIGITAL INDICATOR, LEVELING FEET AND
ANY SMALL ACCESSORIES ORDERED ARE
SHIPPED SEPARATELY VIA UPS GROUND.

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
