1. Getting Started
Introduction
READ THIS MANUAL carefully to learn how to properly use and install equipment. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury or equipment damage.
INSPECT the shipment immediately upon arrival. The customer is responsible for ensuring that all
quantities are correct. The customer should report and note any damage or shortage on the bill of lading
to justify their claim to the transport company.
THIS MANUAL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED a permanent part of your equipment and should be easily
accessible when needed.
This warranty provides you the assurance that the company will back its products when defects appear
within the warranty period. In some circumstances, the company also provides field improvements, often
without charge to the customer, even if the product is out of warranty. Should the equipment be abused,
or modified to change its performance beyond the factory specifications, the warranty will become void
and field improvements may be denied.
Selecting the Load Cell
NOTE:
5K calibrated load cells will not be offered. Only 8K and 12K calibrated load cells are available.
5K un-calibrated load cells are still available for replacement on legacy systems.
Use the proper load cell for the application. Two (2) sizes of load cells are available, an 8,000 lbs. per leg
load cell and a 12,000 lbs. per leg load cell. To determine which load cell to use, add the empty bin weight
to the maximum weight of feed the bin will hold in lbs. Divide this total maximum weight by the number of
legs the bin has. If this number is 8,000 lbs. or less, use the 8,000 lbs. cell, (INT-4854). If this number is
over 8,000 lbs., use the 12,000 lbs. load cell (INT-4855). This system cannot be used if the weight per leg
is greater than 12,000 lbs.
