Rice Lake Farm Bars - KLU Series Universal Weighbars - Manual (Page 5)

Introduction 1
1.0 Introduction
The electronic weighing equipment you have purchased has been manufactured using high quality components and
the latest production techniques to ensure reliable, trouble-free operation for years to come. To obtain the best
possible performance from your weighing equipment, please read this manual carefully.
The load bar consists of a steel tube containing load cell mounts, load cells, and mounting pads. Each bar contains
two factory calibrated load cells. The load bars are of solid construction and, therefore, do not require any
horizontal checking (check rods). Load bars are designed to withstand horizontal loads in the same range as their
capacity without any damage. Care should be taken to remove the possibility of horizontal impacts with the scale
platform. Impacts or collisions tend to create very high forces.
The versatility of the load bars allows any platform or container to become a weigh scale by placing a set of bars
beneath them. Various indicator combinations can be matched to the load bars to meet specialized applications.
