# S140 | Information on installation and initial set-up

## What location factors are important when installing a MetrixFreight S140 system?

**This document explains the steps you need to take after receiving your S140 system.** It gives you a compact overview of how to check the delivered packages, unpack the system and make the initial preparations for initial set-up.

#### **1. Unpacking and checking the delivery**

Check the product for any transport damage upon receipt. If you discover any damage, please document it and inform your MetriXFreight contact person/support immediately.

#### **2. Advice location factors**

Select a location for the system with a flat and even surface. An uneven surface can lead to inaccurate weight measurements. Furthermore, the S-series system should not be placed in direct, intense sunlight, as this can affect the accuracy of the measurement. A location with consistent lighting conditions and even incidence of light would be ideal.

The desktop system also requires a permanent power supply (100–240 V AC; 50–60 Hz) and a stable connection to the Internet (via Ethernet cable or WiFi).

#### **3. Planning the installation**

The initial commissioning takes place together with your MetriXFreight contact person/technical support. Please make an appointment in advance and plan 1–2 hours  for the commissioning.

#### **4. Initial commissioning and onboarding**

Setting up the table usually takes 15 minutes, onboarding and testing takes a further 30–60 minutes.

#### **5. System use**

After successful commissioning and onboarding, your MetriXFreight system is ready for use.
