When delivered, the height of the top plate is set with an excess length. The excess length 

corresponds to the lifting path (see Stainless steel compact installation units (Page 47)). 
In this condition, the compact installation unit serves as an installation aid and can be used 

as a dummy for lighter installation work. 

 

Figure 3-3 

Compact installation unit: pre-assembled upon delivery 

Prior to installation, the load cell with pendulum support and pressure piece is inserted into 

the compact installation unit. The load cell and pressure piece are secured in position using 

one clamping washer each.  
In the next step, the complete compact installation units are fitted into the scale.  
The fixing holes of the compact installation unit are 6 mm larger than the thread of the fixing 

screws to be used. The fixing holes are covered by the supplied spring washers. Tolerance 

errors in the fixing holes of the brackets can then be compensated to a certain extent.  
Compensate angular and/or flatness errors as well as differences in height between the 

brackets using spacer plates. Make sure that the connection plates are not tensioned and 

that the base/top plates are not concave in the center. 
The compact installation units are optimally aligned when screwed tight. The load cells are 

not yet loaded.
