2.2. Precautions for construction
The base part of the load cell is an important part that supports the load, so perform construction
carefully.
Read this manual to correctly set the direction of the load cell and the direction of the brackets.
Let the load cell cable have slack so it is not pulled. Also protect with a conduit, etc. to prevent
damage. Do not share a conduit with the power line.
Apply grease to the contact surface between the load cell and the mounting brackets for lubrication
and dust proofing.
Be careful not to get dirt, mud, etc. on the contact surface between the load cell and the mounting
brackets.
Use lithium grease (all-purpose type grease) as the grease to be applied.
Avoid incorrect wiring of the load cell cable. Incorrect wiring may damage the equipment.
Do not connect the load cell to energized equipment. Also make sure that there is no error in
connection before energizing.
Do not apply a strong shock to the load cell.
Do not provide voltage to the load cell exceeding the maximum applied voltage. The inside of the
load cell may be damaged if that is done.
When performing welding work with the load cell attached, connect the ground near the welding
point so that no current flows in the load cell.
2.3. Setup example for truck scale
Construction of the foundation should be done carefully.
Traveling

of truck
Swing stopper
Traveling direction of truck
Protect the load cell cable with a conduct
The gap of the swing stopper should be 5 mm or
less. 2 to 3 mm is recommended.
Reinforcing plate for stopper
Base plate
Stopper column
Bearing plate
Mounting bracket
Levelness between base plates:
within 3 mm
Levelness of the base plate alone:
within 1/500
Apply a flow gradient to the bottom
(1/100 or more)
