OPERATION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL
Page 1
General Information The Hardy Instruments (HI) LPRC03 Low Profile
Series, with self-aligning load points, is designed for
applications in hoppers, tanks and silos. The HI
LPRC03 Advantage Loadpoint consists of a hermeti-
cally sealed, stainless steel load sensor (gauge area
and cable entry), with Enhanced C2
®
Second Genera-
tion Calibration, and a matched mV/V and mV/V/
Ohm and a 1/4 inch conduit adapter and mount.
The HI LPRC03 mount eliminates the effects of
unwanted forces, which makes it well suited for high
capacity vessels. Its performance exceeds IP68 and
NEMA 6 Standards for Wash Down Resistance,
ensuring accurate output even for the most demanding
applications.
The mount comes preassembled, with the top plate
centered to the bottom of the unit using two heavy
bolts to hold the parts together. Each load point is fit-
ted with a grounding strap. The mounting hardware is
available in either stainless or zinc plated steel.
Unpacking The load sensor is shipped in a separate container. Do
not remove it from it’s packaging until just before
installation. Although the load sensor is designed for
harsh environments, it is a precision instrument and
should be treated as such.
Precautions • Always treat the Load Sensor as a precision
instrument. Leave the assembly in its packaging
until it is time for installation.
• NEVER CARRY OR SWING THE LOAD SEN-
SORS BY THEIR CABLE.
• Never let moisture get into any interconnections.
• Inspect the box, packing, and load point assembly
for any signs of damage. Since most load point
assemblies are shipped F.O.B. our factory, such
damage is normally the responsibility of the car-
rier and should be reported to them.
