Assemble the mount as follows:
•
Assemble the mount (without the load cell) as shown in picture 1, taking care that the top and
base plates are correctly aligned (vertically).
•
The top plate (see drawing and Part List pos. 10)
should be locked at installation height using the socket
head counter sunk bolts (pos. 9) and the upper nut
(pos. 7, see picture 1).
Note:
the long bolts must not protrude above the top
plate. This can cause weight on the long blots and that
will distorts the measured value.
•
Then the socket head counter sunk bolts (pos. 9)
should be locked securely by turning the thin nut (pos. 6)
Picture 1
downwards to the base plate (pos. 1).
Then the mount is ready to install in the application of the customer.
Installation
Important to know is to install multiple mounts in such a way that all bottom plates are at the same
level and in the same horizontal plane. The same goes for the top plates. Always use shim plates to align
mounts in the same horizontal plane and level. Always check that load cell and/or mount are not loaded
with forces exceeding their specifications.
Install as follows:
•
Locate the mount into the application and secure using the four lower and two upper
fixing holes. Two hexagon bolts (1 upper and 1 lower) should be used to secure the earth cable
(shown in Part List drawing pos. 14-15)
•
Coat both bearing load surface (pos. 13) (see picture 2
) with ‘high pressure’
-grease and locate
the rocker pin support . Insert the rocker pin with lower bearing (pos. 11) in the load cell (see
picture 3) and slide the load cell into place, ensuring that the rocker pin (pos. 13) is properly
located (see picture 4).
•
Place the load cell in the mount by putting it between the bottom plate and top plate in a half
turned position and put it upright ensuring that the rocker pin is properly located in the right
position
Warning:
For safety reasons, always use a tool to align the rocker pin if necessary during
this process, don’t eve
r use your hands.
•
Secure the load cells with the bolts (See Table 2) (pos. 3). Make sure that the washers (pos. 3 &
4) are placed and that the correct torque (see Table 1) on the bolts is used (see picture 5).
