This section provides an overview of iDimension PWD assembly procedure.

IMPORTANT: Prior to assembly of the iDimension PWD, refer to the indicator and scale manuals in Section 1.1 on page 5 for proper installation and operation procedures.

3.1 Unit Assembly

To assemble the iDimension PWD, follow the procedures below:

3.1.1 Scale Base

1. Remove the scale base from the carton using the lift brackets.
2. Place the scale base on a level surface.
3. Uninstall the hardware securing the lift brackets.
4. Remove the lift bracket from the scale base. NOTE: Set aside the lift brackets and hardware for future use.
5. Slide four neoprene pads under each foot and one neoprene pad under the back of the scale base.
6. Anchor the scale base by using the mounting points as guides.
7. Drill pilot holes into the floor for suitable anchor bolts.
8. Secure scale base to the floor using 1/2" anchor bolts (not included).

3.1.2 Bumper Mount

Secure the scale bumper mount onto the frame rails of the scale base.

NOTE: If the scale bumper mount is already installed, see Section 3.1.3 on page 14.

3.1.3 Tower Assembly

1. Secure the lower tower assembly onto the scale base.
2. Repeat hardware installation for both sides of the assembly.
3. Secure the back brace onto the upper tower assembly.
4. Secure the upper tower assembly onto the lower tower assembly.

3.1.4 Spider Mount Assembly

1. Extend the spider mount arms in position. NOTE: The spider mount arms may be extended into position after mounting to the back brace (Figure 3-6 on page 15).
2. Secure the spider mount arms once extended into place.
3. Lift the spider mount assembly to the upper tower assembly.
4. Secure the spider mount assembly to the upper tower assembly back brace.
5. Attach the leveling bolt to the back brace and the spider assembly support. The bolt is fed through the back brace to the front brace.
6. Feed the spider assembly cables through the back brace of the upper tower assembly.
7. Secure the sensor mounting bracket to the sensor by following the remote IFM sensor instructions, provided with the unit.
8. Place the two halves of the rod mount into the bracket.
9. Secure the rod of the remote IFM sensor assembly to the shield mount through the slotted plates found on both the shield mount and at the end of each spider assembly arm. NOTE: The sensor shield is secured by the remote IFM sensor assembly. Orient the sensor downwards with the power connector pointing towards the assembly.
10. Repeat the previous steps for each sensor.
11. Connect the power and ethernet cables to each sensor.

3.1.5 Kiosk Mount Installation

Use the following procedure to mount the kiosk:

1. Attach the mount bracket to the lower tower assembly. NOTE: The kiosk mount may be installed on either side of the lower tower assembly. If the kiosk mount is installed on the opposite side of the assembly shown in Figure 3-12, the kiosk mount must be rotated 180°.
2. Attach the kiosk mount to the mount bracket.
3. Attach the kiosk to the kiosk mount. NOTE: Kiosk installation may require two people. One person should lift the kiosk to the kiosk mount bracket while the other person should secure the kiosk to the kiosk mount bracket.

3.1.6 SUMMIT 3000 Scale

1. Secure the 1/2-20NF eye bolt (not provided) to the SUMMIT 3000 scale.
2. Attach one end of the single chain lift (not provided) to the 1/2-20NF eye bolt and the other end of the single chain lift to a lift bar (not provided). IMPORTANT: Lift the SUMMIT 3000 scale with a proper lift bar. Lifting force must be vertical to avoid bending the 1/2-20NF eye bolt. WARNING: The 1/2-20NF eye bolt must be inserted in the top of the SUMMIT 3000 scale. Lifting should always occur with the top plate facing up and the eye bolts securely attached through the nuts welded to the bottom of the top plate. Lifting from the bottom of the plate could cause nuts to break loose and the SUMMIT 3000 scale to fall.
3. Remove the SUMMIT 3000 scale from the carton.
4. Screw each foot into each load cell and turn until each foot touches either the load cell or the underside of the deck.
5. Loosen each foot with three complete turns.
6. Loosen each jam nut located on the top of each foot to allow the SUMMIT 3000 scale to be leveled (Step 13 on page 24).
7. Lower the SUMMIT 3000 scale into the scale base while feeding the 20' of 6-wire homerun cable through the scale base cable port.
8. Ensure the SUMMIT 3000 scale is centered within the scale base. IMPORTANT: Ensure the SUMMIT 3000 scale are not touching the scale base. A gap between the SUMMIT 3000 scale and the scale base must exist. The gap prevents binding, which may cause inaccurate measurements.
9. Uninstall the single chain lift from the 1/2-20NF eye bolt.
10. Uninstall the 1/2-20NF eye bolt from the SUMMIT 3000 scale.
11. Place a spirit level on the top of the SUMMIT 3000 scale and check the level.
12. Insert a flathead screwdriver into the access hole on the corner of the scale. NOTE: If the jam nuts on each foot are not loosened prior to setting the SUMMIT 3000 scale in the scale base, the SUMMIT 3000 scale cannot be leveled.
13. Adjust each SUMMIT 3000 scale foot until each foot contacts the scale base and the scale is level. NOTE: Recheck the SUMMIT 3000 scale with the spirit level to ensure the scale is within 1/4" of level.

3.1.7 Forklift Wheel Stop Plate

1. Remove the forklift wheel stop plate from the carton.
2. Install the forklift wheel stop plate 7" from the front of the scale base.
3. Secure the forklift wheel stop plate to the floor using 1/2" anchor bolts (not included).

3.1.8 Kiosk Wiring

1. Run cables from the snap-in grommet hole located on the same side of the lower tower assembly the kiosk is installed.
2. Remove the entire Icotek cable gland block.
3. Feed all ethernet cables through single hole cable glands.
4. Feed all remote IFM sensor power cables and scale cables through multi-hole cable gland. NOTE: Punch a hole into each required cable gland, to allow wiring to be fed through the indicator.
5. Reinstall Icotek cable gland block. IMPORTANT: When reinstalling the Icotek cable gland block, leave the Icotek cable gland block slightly loose to allow for cable slack to prevent potential cable damage.
6. Connect remote IFM sensor ethernet cables (green) to the ethernet ports. NOTE: If the IP camera is installed (Section 3.2 on page 29), connect the IP camera ethernet cable (blue) to the POE device.
7. Strip and wire the remote IFM sensor power cables to the kiosk.
8. Strip and wire the SUMMIT 3000 scale homerun cable to the indicator (Figure 3-20 for 880 Indicator and Figure 3-21 on page 27 for 1280 Indicator).
