Installation of the Load Stand
®
II
Caution
If installing shims, loosen the top bolts on all the Load
Stands before raising the vessel.
Shimming the load stands
Shimming the load stands distributes the weight evenly on
all Load Stands, increasing system accuracy and life. Perform
this procedure while the vessel is still empty:
1. Check if Leveling Needed
a) Remove the junction box cover.
b) Connect the red, white, and black wires of a 3-con-
ductor cable to the corresponding terminals on TB1
of the Load Stand
®
junction box. Connect the other
end of the cable to the corresponding terminals of
the Anderson-Negele Test Meter. Turn on the power
to the Test Meter and set the Simulate/Test switch
to the Test position.
c) Verify the dead weight voltage output of the Load
Stand
®
from step 3f.
d) Calculate the change in output, as shown in the
example. Output Change = installed output -
uninstalled output. The change in output must
be positive.
Note
If an Anderson-Negele Test Meter is not available, before
proceeding refer to Chapter Set-up - Alternative method
for checking output.
