5.1.1
Preparing the foundation/substructure
-
The foundation for the mounting kit must be horizontal (use spirit level), flat, and
rigid for the intended loads.
-
The load distribution on the available load cells must be as even as possible to
prevent overload of the individual load cells.
-
The substructure foundations/supporting surfaces for the mounting kits should be at
the same level, and the supporting surfaces of the weighing object (e.g. vessel feet)
must be arranged in parallel.
-
For screw mounting of the upper and lower plates
:
-
Generate the drilling pattern of the lower plate of the mounting kit (see
Chapter
) according to the weighing system arrangement on the foundation/
substructure.
-
Generate the drilling pattern of the upper plate of the mounting kit (see
Chapter
) according to the weighing system arrangement for each vessel lug
or vessel foot.
-
If soft filler layers (e.g. made from rubber or plastic material) are used between the
mounting kit and vessel/or between the mounting kit and substructure for vibration
dampening or for temperature insulation, a load compensating plate must be
provided between this soft filler layer and the mounting kit to ensure even load
application into the mounting kit.
The design of the insulation and compensation plates depends on the respective
application.
The maximum permissible inclination must be strictly observed in order to keep the
impact on the measuring accuracy to a minimum (see figure).
