5.1 HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
Even though the LKP Series systems are large and rugged, they should be handled with
the same care as any precision measuring instrument. Measuring Head weight is as much
as 882 lb. (400 kg) per quarter, therefore, adequate handling equipment must be available.
Severe jolts or bumps to the head or Metering Unit may cause movement of internal parts,
and possibly a malfunction. It also advisable to avoid supporting the head-halves by the
windows insulation. The window insulation is tough, but brittle.
Personnel involved in the
installation should be experienced with equipment of similar size and weight. They
should also be familiar with the technical terms, warnings, and instructions in this
manual, and all plant safety rules, and be able to follow these.
The complete system should be inspected for shipping damage at the earliest opportunity.
Visible damage must be reported to the carrier immediately. Concealed damage (not
evident until the system is operated) must be reported to DynAmp, LLC immediately.
For all handling of the Measuring Head, use lifting straps capable of carrying a 4400lbs
(2000kg) load.
5.2 INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
In general, the head can be installed vertically, horizontally, or in any intermediate
orientation. The Measuring Head is equipped with several mounting holes that can be
used to bolt the head to a wall or support frame around the bus. The prime considerations
in all cases are as follows:
