4. Drill holes in the concrete foundation maintaining the height of the
leveling bolts. Bolt the base to the foundation (see Appendix for base
mounting hole dimensions). Use concrete stud anchors or equivalent.
Make a final check to see that everything is in place and level.
5. Pour grout under the base plates. Use good quality non-shrinking grout.
Stir under the base plate to remove any air pockets. After the grout has
hardened, back the four leveling bolts out of the grout.
6. Install a grounding strap around the load cell.
3.3.4 Installing the Load Cell
When placing parts on the load cell, be careful not to
drop or slam parts on the load cell. This sudden force
could shock your load cell making the scale inoperable.
1. Remove load from mount. Jack up I-beam and take load off dummy cell.
2. Place the shims on the load cell mounting plate and the load cell on top of
the shims. Then screw the load cell screw into load cell through the bottom
of the load cell mounting plate.
3. Slide the load cell assembly into the mount and screw the load cell
mounting plate bolts and lockwashers into the base plate.
4. Torque the load cell mounting plate bolts to spec (see torque value table,
page 4).
3.3.5 Removing the Load Cell
1. Power down the indicator.
2. Remove the junction box cover, disconnect the load cell wires from the
junction box circuit board, and pull the load cell cable out of the junction
box.
3. Remove load from mount. Jack up I-beam and take load off dummy cell.
4. Remove the four load cell mounting plate bolts and lockwashers. Slide the
load cell assembly out of the mount.
5. Loosen the load cell screw under the load cell mounting plate and remove
the load cell.
