PINNACLE
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about PINNACLE from 3G Electric.
What capacities and readabilities are available in PINNACLE floor scales?
PINNACLE floor scales are available with capacities of 5,000 lb and 10,000 lb. Readability options include 1 lb (0.5 kg) for 5,000 lb models and 2 lb (1 kg) for 10,000 lb models. For example, the PS3000-44-10N has a 10,000 lb capacity with 2 lb/1 kg readability, while the PS3000-55-5N has a 5,000 lb capacity with 1 lb/0.5 kg readability. Some models are supplied without an indicator, such as the PS7055-5N, which has a 5,000 lb capacity and 1 lb readability. The weighing units can be set to pounds or kilograms depending on the model.
Do PINNACLE floor scales come with data output capabilities?
Yes, several PINNACLE floor scale models with indicators include an RS-232 connection port. This allows the scale to transmit weight data to external devices such as computers, printers, or remote displays. Models like the PS3000-44-10N and PS3000-55-5N feature RS-232 ports. For scales supplied without an indicator, data output would depend on the indicator used. The RS-232 interface is commonly used for recording weight transactions in shipping, receiving, and inventory management systems.
What are the dimensions and load ratings of PINNACLE floor scale ramps?
PINNACLE floor scale ramps are constructed from carbon steel and have an overall height of 4 inches. They are available in widths of 48 inches and 59 inches. Both ramp models are rated to a 10,000 lb capacity. The ramps are designed to provide a transition for pallet jacks, forklifts, and other material handling equipment to access the scale platform. The 48-inch wide ramp (MPN 101011-44R) and the 59-inch wide ramp (MPN 101012-55R) are intended for use with compatible PINNACLE floor scales.
Can PINNACLE floor scales be used with existing indicators or control systems?
Yes, PINNACLE offers floor platforms without indicators, such as the PS7055-5N (60 in x 60 in, 5,000 lb capacity) and PS7044-5N (48 in x 48 in, 5,000 lb capacity). These platforms can be connected to a separate indicator or integrated into an existing weighing system. This option is useful when a facility already has indicators or wants to use a specific indicator model. The platforms have steel construction and are available with different readabilities and weighing units. Compatibility with third-party indicators depends on the load cell output and connector type, which should be verified with the supplier.
What accessories are available for PINNACLE floor scales?
PINNACLE offers floor scale ramps and floor anchor plates. The ramps are available in 48-inch and 59-inch widths, both with a 4-inch height and 10,000 lb capacity, made from carbon steel. The floor anchor plates (MPN 101013) are used to secure floor scales to the floor and come in a pack of two. They measure 6 inches in overall width and 1/4 inch in overall height. These accessories help with safe access and stable installation of the scales in industrial environments.
What platform sizes are available for PINNACLE floor scales?
PINNACLE floor scales are available in platform sizes including 48 in x 48 in and 60 in x 60 in. For example, the PS7044-5N has a 48 in x 48 in platform, while the PS7055-5N has a 60 in x 60 in platform. Other models in the PS3000 series may have different dimensions. The platform size should be selected based on the size of the loads to be weighed and the available floor space. Larger platforms accommodate bigger pallets or multiple items, while smaller platforms fit in tighter areas.
