Refer to the decal on the Load Cell to determine proper orientation
of the Load Cell in the Mount Base.
Set the bin on the Mount Bases and secure the Top Mounts to the Load Cell using the
5/8" pins supplied.
When the bin is empty, each mount must equally share the load. Use the shims,
supplied with the bin, to evenly distribute the weight. The shims should be located
between the bin leg and the Top Mount.
Step 2: Mount Base Assembly and Installation (for C.T. Load
Cells)
1. Clean Mounts and load cells of all dirt and foreign materials.
2. With steel plate (item 11) on bin pad between load cell mount and bin pad, tighten
bolts (items 4 and 13) as required.
3. Make sure sealing ring (item 6) and pads (item 12) are not damaged. Replace as
needed.
4. Check to see that all load cell cables are tied to frame as they are routed to
junction box. Also check for cuts and cracks in the cables.
5. Check for vertical alignment. All load cells (item 5) should maintain vertical
alignment during entire loading and unloading process. If misaligned, realign
load cell mounts (item 2) as required.
