Floor Scale Weighing Element
Models: 684-P and GP-400
Application: The load receiving element may be used for general weighing purposes when interfaced with a compatible
and certified indicating element.
Identification: The identification badge is an engraved metal plate, located on the left side of the device.
Sealing: A wire security seal may be attached to two screws located underneath the device.
Operation: The device has a level indicator attached to the top of the platform near the handle.
Test Conditions: The emphasis of this evaluation was on the device design, operation, and compliance with influence
factor requirements. The load receiving element was interfaced with a Cardinal Scale Model DR20LC indicator for the
purpose of this evaluation. The device was evaluated as a 600 x 0.2 lb scale and as a 400 x 0.2 lb scale.
Several increasing/decreasing load tests and shift tests were performed. The 684P model was tested over a temperature
range of 2 to 32 °C (35.6 to 89.6 °F). The GP-400 model was tested over a temperature range of -10 to 40 °C (14 to
104 °F). A load of approximately one-half capacity was applied to the scale 100 000 times. The scale was tested
periodically during this time.
The results of the evaluation indicate that the device complies with the applicable requirements of Handbook 44.
