The Pulsa Puck Scale makes tank weight monitoring quick, accurate, and easy to manage. Follow this step-by-step guide to install your Puck Scale and connect it to your Pulsa system.
The Puck works best on smooth, level, and uniform surfaces. Installing the scale on uneven or unlevel ground may lead to inaccurate readings and potential installation issues.

- (1) Puck load cell
- (2) C-channels

Physical Installation Steps
Register and Power On Gateway
Thread 3/8” bolts into C-channels
Tilt tank & slide C-channels under 2 legs
Finger tighten nut on C-channel bolts
Place puck on 3rd leg
Finger tighten bolt to locate Puck. Do not over-tighten. Position so cable runs under the center of the tank. You will zip tie cable to the inside of leg.
Ensure puck is on a flat surface
Ensure Puck does not span a crack or low spot. Slide or rotate tank to reposition If placed on tile, center Puck in middle of tile.
(Optional) Set anchor bolts for both C-channels*
Mark hole & rotate C-channel to drill hole. No need to move tank.
*Securing the system to the ground is not required. Check local regulations for requirements on securing the tank.
Tighten nuts onto C-Channel bolts
Do not over-tighten. 1/2 turn past finger tight is sufficient.
Over-tightening can cause less accurate readings.
Route Puck cable inside of leg and up
Route cable inside of leg, under tank and up the opposite side of the tank to the Pulsa Link or Frontier device. Zip tie cable to inside of leg.
(Optional) Place Z-bracket and set anchor bolt
Z-bracket should not physically touch the tank leg. There will be a
small gap between the top of the leg and the Z-bracket.
