Before using your new Model 1040 indicator:
l Please verify that everything has been properly connected. See Figures 3-6
l If you are mounting the indicator, see the next section: Mounting the Model
1040.
l Check the scale system to ensure proper units are set (lb, kg)
l Verify the system is weighing properly.
3.1 Mounting the Model 1040
The Model 1040 mounts on a quick-detach bracket. Weld or bolt the quick-detach
bracket into place, as follows:
1. Choose a mounting location that is
l convenient for operation of the indicator, and
l protected from moving parts or from other moving machinery.
2. Hold the indicator at the proposed mounting location, and verify that the
display is legible and the controls accessible.
3. Positioning the quick-detach bracket with the wider end at the top, mark the
desired mounting location. If bolting, use the quick-detach bracket as a
template and mark and drill holes.
4. Weld or bolt the quick-detach bracket at the appropriate location. If bolting,
use double nuts or self-locking nuts to protect both indicator and machinery.
5. Insert the indicator bracket into the quick-detach bracket and push it down into
place.
6. For mobile applications, wrap and twist a strong wire around the indicator
bracket and the quick-detach bracket to stabilize the mounting.
