How do I replace the scale card on my BEKA BA388E Rate Totaliser?

[DelTessa]

Changing the scale card on your BEKA BA388E Rate Totaliser is a straightforward process. Here's how to do it:

1. Remove the Old Scale Card: Begin by gently unclipping the protruding end of the flexible strip. You can do this by pushing it upwards and pulling it out of the enclosure. Then, carefully peel off the existing scale card from the flexible strip.
2. Attach the New Scale Card: Align the new, self-adhesive printed scale card onto the flexible strip, ensuring it's properly aligned. Once aligned, firmly attach the scale card to the strip.
3. Reinsert the Strip: Insert the flexible strip with the new scale card back into the Rate Totaliser, following the correct orientation as shown in the instruction manual.

Important Considerations: Do not attempt to apply a new scale card over an existing one. Make certain the scale card is securely attached to the flexible strip before reinserting it. If your Rate Totaliser was originally supplied without a specific scale card, a blank card would have been fitted. You can acquire a pack of self-adhesive scale cards with common units of measurement directly from BEKA associates. Custom printed scale cards are also available. Following these steps allows you to change the scale card without removing the instrument from its panel or opening the enclosure.
