2.3 Assembling the Dummy Load Cell
1.
Place nine shims on the load cell mounting plate (only four shims for the
100,000 lb capacity mount and only six for the 50,000 lb).
2.
Place the dummy load cell on the shims (see load cell assembly graphic).
3.
Screw the load cell screw into the dummy load cell from the bottom of the
load cell mounting plate.
4.
Insert the dummy load cell assembly in the mount between the base plate
and the top mounting plate. Add or subtract shims so top of dummy cell just
touches the top mounting plate with no load.
5.
Screw the load cell mounting plate bolts with lockwashers into the base
plate.
6.
Torque the load cell mounting plate bolts to spec. See the following table
for all necessary torque values.
Note:
After the mount is fully installed on the foundation and the scale deck I-beam is
secured to the mount, the dummy load cell can be replaced by the actual load cell.
Refer to Section 3.3.4, Installing the Load Cell and Section 3.3.5 Removing the
Load Cell.
