2.2 Assembly
The conditions for installation are very different. The load platform can be very low or
relatively high. It could be a hopper, a platform or a conveyor for example. The following
assembly instructions can only be taken as general guidelines.
WARNING
Proper tools are to be used for lifting the load platform. Ensure that the respective
safety regulations are followed.
The load platform should always be built on dummies to begin with, so that the load cells
are protected from damages during assembly. The load platform must then only be lifted
a few millimeters from bracket to bracket to position the elastomer bearing. The following
description of assembly procedures is based on this situation.
Assembly procedure:
(numbering see Fig. 2-2)
1. Load cell preparation:
•
A data sheet is supplied with every load cell with the calibration values for that
load cell. This is found in a supply pocket which is stuck on the packaging. Take
the data sheet and store it in a safe place.
•
Unpack the load cell.
