Site Preparation • All mounting surfaces for the base and loading
plate must be level. The distance between the
mounting surface of the loading plate and base
must be within 1/32” of the nominal height, “H”.
The Load Point Assemblies in a system must be
level to within +/- 0.5
o
.
• When mounting the base plate on concrete, use
grout to level the plate.
• Do any welding before installing the load points.
• Provide proper drainage to prevent the load point
assembly from standing in water.
Precautions • Always treat the Load Sensor as a precision
instrument. Leave the load point assembly in its
packaging until it is time for installation.
• NEVER CARRY OR SWING THE LOAD SEN-
SORS BY THEIR CABLES.
• Never allow moisture to get into any interconnec-
tions.
• HARDY SOLUTIONS RECOMMENDS THAT
YOU DO NOT CUT YOUR ADVANTAGE

OR ADVANTAGE LITE® LOAD SEN-
SOR CABLE. BECAUSE YOUR C2®

Basic Engineering
Principles for Positioning
Load Point Assemblies
Principle #1 • Position the Load Points Assemblies so that the
load (weight) is distributed as evenly as possible
between each load point assembly in the scale.
• When the installation does not allow even distri-
bution of the load, select higher capacity load
point assemblies.
NOTE: All load point assemblies must have the same capacity
when used in one scale.
