2.9 Overload Bolt Adjustment
1. Remove the load cell guard plates.
The load cell guard plates and the hardware need to be saved for a future procedure (
).
2. Load the maximum product weight to be weighed on the conveyor above load cell mount. Do not exceed the maximum
capacity of the load cell.
3. Hand-turn the overload bolt clockwise until it touches the bottom of the load cell.
4. Slightly turn the bolt counterclockwise, so there is just a paper size gap between the overload bolt and the load cell.
Figure 2-11. Overload Bolt Location
5. Hold overload bolt and tighten the jam nut.
6. Repeat the adjustment steps for each load cell.
Turning the overload bolt counterclockwise allows the cell to flex when weight is added, yet still be close enough to
provide overload protection.
2.10 Load Cell Guard Plate
The load cell guards for the ELS Series weigh stands come shipped with two screws installed on the top and bottom sides of
the load cell guard plate, protecting the load cell during shipment. Once the screws are removed, the nylon washers from the
bottom screws will be installed onto the top side screws, between the mounting plates and the load cell guards. Installing two
nylon washers to the top screws allows a clearance between the load cell guards and bottom mount plates
.
1. Install the top screws on the load cell guard with the addition of the nylon washers from the bottom screws.
The bottom screws and bottom lock washers are no longer needed.

2. Repeat load cell guard installation for each load cell mount.
