2.2 Installing the RL9000 TWM
1. The type of installation and strength of the mounting surface governs the method of
locating, attaching, and installing the RL9000 TWM assembly. Carefully consider
three areas which commonly cause accuracy problems:
• Are the supporting legs adequately braced so they will not spread when the system
is fully loaded?
• Does the supporting structure have the necessary strength to prevent excessive
defl ection when the system is fully loaded?
• Is there attached equipment such as skirting, venting, or piping which is likely to
cause binding or lack of fl exibility?
2. Determine where to position each mount. The RL9000 TWM is designed to allow
for lateral movement in any direction. Sample mounting orientations to accom-
modate different vessel shapes are as follows:
3. Make necessary preparations to the mounting surfaces. A 1" sub plate can be used
to ensure a good mounting surface.
4. Lift and block the vessel to the same height as the assembled mounts. Slide mount
into position.
5. If the mount is being fi tted under the leg of a vessel, verify that the leg’s center
line passes through the center of the top plate (through the center of the load cell).
