Mounting

5 Mounting
S When mounting the container it is important to ensure that no sudden heavy
loads are applied to the module, for instance when lowering it onto the sup­
ports. Even transient loads can damage the load cell if they exceed its limit
values.
Notice
The factory‐fitted overload stop is designed for handling overloads during nor­
mal operation. It is not designed to deal with short, sharp loads imposed during
mounting, as these commonly amount to a multiple of the permissible limit val­
ues.
S In the case of statically undefined supports, non‐uniform loading of the mod­
ules occurs due to flexibility as the load is taken up or due to inaccuracy in
the height adjustment. This non‐uniformity should be checked on the indi­
vidual load cells by applying an excitation voltage and comparing the output
voltages. To prevent overloads, any large non‐uniformity should be com­
pensated for by inserting shims under the supports that are least loaded.
S When tanks are heavy or mounting conditions are unfavorable, the use of
mounting aids such as auxiliary supports or lifting equipment is recommen­
ded.
S -The weighing modules must be installed so that they are not exposed to
lateral forces in the initial state. This means the built‐in pendulum support
must be aligned as near to the perpendicular as possible. This is the case
when the foundation and tank joint are horizontal and the fastening holes on
the foundation and container joint are suitably aligned.
S The upper module plate and lower module plate should be firmly fastened to
the foundation and tank respectively (applies only to modules nondistorted
installed on the support).
S The fitted EEK4 grounding cable is used to protect against welding currents
that can damage the electronic parts of the transducers.
