1. Construct the necessary support framework to provide a sturdy, rigid base. Vibration
isolators are recommended if the location is subject to moderate or heavy vibration.
2. Align the in-feed section of the weighfeeder with the discharge of the feed device. Prevent
twisting or misalignment that could induce stress on the weighing section.
3. Install a gasket between the flanges for dust control.
4. Securely fasten the unit to the rigid, level structure constructed in step 1. Use a level for
verification and shim as necessary. Prevent any twisting of the frame that may affect
weighfeeder performance.
Note
The inlet and discharge of the weighfeeder will not support load.
5.
Note
If your system has a permanently lubricated gear motor, then disregard this step, and
proceed directly to step 6.
Check the gear reducer oil level. For further details, see the gear reducer information
under Maintenance.
6. A de-dust port may be provided at the discharge end of enclosed units. If no de-dust system
is required, this port should be closed.
7. Connect the proper electric supply to the motor and/or motor controller. The AC or DC motor
controller (if present) must be grounded to minimize noise to the electronic integrator. Refer
to the applicable wiring diagram to make all electrical connections between the electronic
integrator and the weighfeeder.
Note
Units with a plugged discharge switch should refer to the wiring diagram included in the
CLS100 manual.
8. Remove only the tagged shipping bolt that is attached to the load cell. This bolt supports the
weighbridge during transport and installation.
Note
DO NOT loosen or tighten the overload bolt—it has been factory set to minimize the
possibility of load cell damage resulting from incidental overload.
9. Before starting the weighfeeder, make a final check to see that the conveyor belt is free of
all tools and foreign objects, and that the infeed/skirtboards are not pinching against the belt.
