EARTHING THE WEIGHED STRUCTURE
By means of a copper wire with suitable cross-section, connect the cell upper support plate with the
lower support plate, then connect all the lower plates to a single earthing system. Electrostatic
charges accumulated because of the product rubbing against the pipes and the weighed container
walls are discharged to the ground without going through or damaging the load cells. Failure to
implement a proper earthing system might not affect the operation of the weighing system; this,
however, does not rule out the possibility that the cells and connected instrument may become
damaged in the future. It is forbidden to ensure earthing system continuity by using metal parts
contained in the weighed structure.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED
A MISUSE OF THE EQUIPMENT
