Rice Lake RL2100HE Stainless Steel - Manual (Page 3)

1.0 Introduction
The 2100HE Weigh Module Kit provides an extremely accurate method for
weighing medium and large capacity tanks and hoppers that are subject to harsh,
hostile environments. The design uses a double-ended shear beam load cell (700
Ω
bridge) and transmits the load with a sliding pin on the load bearing groove of the
cell. This design allows thermal expansion/contraction with little friction.
In the majority of applications, the assemblies are
self-checking and held captive with no need for
check or stay rods. The sliding pin design eases load
cell installation and replacement without the need to
raise the weighed vessel a large amount, which may
disturb piping and other connections.
The 2100HE module is available in stainless steel in two sizes in capacities ranging
from 20,000-100,000 lb. The mount is compatible with RL75060 and Sensortronics
65103 load cells.
The installation should be planned by a qualified structural engineer. Each instal-
lation is unique, and this manual is meant to serve only as a general guideline for
installation.
