4.1 Introduction
CAUTION
Installation shall be performed only by qualified personnel in accordance with local
governing regulations.
The belt scale is shipped from the factory as a single unit packed in a container for protection.
The weigh module must be removed from its package and inspected for physical damage. Be
sure the conveyor design meets the installation requirements for the belt scale.
Note
 Use only approved conduit and conduit fittings or cable glands to maintain NEMA or IP
rating, as applicable.

Adjust conveyor stringers to be rigid, straight, parallel to, and square with the belt line in
the area of the scale installation.
 Adjust pulleys to ensure that the conveyor belt tracks straight and centrally from the head
to the tail pulley.

The idler to be used on the scale and at least the next two approach and retreat idlers,
must be of the same style and manufacturer, and in good condition.
Prepare the site in accordance with the Siemens drawing(s) or by referring to the Belt Scale
Applications Guidelines (7ML19985GA01).
4.2 Conveyor Considerations
The ideal placement of the belt scale depends on the conveyor system. This section provides
guidelines to determine belt scale placement.
