Safety Instructions

Mounting kits PR 6011/30 and PR 6011/40 must be used only for the weighing applications for which it
is intended. The dimensions of all mounting and structural components must be calculated so that
sufficient overload capacity is ensured for loads which may occur while taking the relevant standards
into account. In particular, upright weighing objects (vessel etc.) must be safeguarded against the
weighing installation turning over or being shifted, thus eliminating danger to humans, animals or goods
even in the case of a break in a load cell or mounting element.
If soft layers (e.g. from rubber or plastic) for vibration damping or for temperature insulation are
inserted between mounting kit and vessel and/or between mounting kit and supporting construction, a
load equalisation plate must be inserted between soft layer and mounting kit to ensure an even load
distribution on the mounting kit.
Installation and repair work must be carried out only by qualified personnel.

Position of Load Cells and Constrainers

In order to ensure the required space for movement of the weighing facility, max. 3 MiniFLEXLOCK kits
may be used for constraining an object. When using more than 3 load cells, the remaining load cells
must be installed with mounting kit PR 6011/10.
