5.4 Check mounting
When all mounting kits have been installed, check them for proper mounting.
In particular, force shunts should be avoided.
It is essential to check:
-
whether the auxiliary mounting plate (4) has been removed.
-
whether the load cell has been inserted in the mounting kit vertically and without
being canted.
-
whether the upper and lower plates are mounted in a horizontal position.
-
whether free moving space and the required play for thermal expansion are provided.
-
whether the constrainers have suicient clearance; if necessary, loosen nuts (1 and 3),
adjust using the screwed joint (2) and retighten the nuts.
The free moving space which is required for displacement of the measured object due to
thermal expansion, vibration, etc. can be utilized without reducing the measuring
accuracy only if the load cell and constraining unit have been installed exactly.
To avoid force shunts, all incoming and outgoing lines (hoses, pipes, cables) must be
connected to the measured object with the greatest lexibility possible.
The entire load must be supported by the load cells!
