HI HLPS SERIES LOAD POINT ASSEMBLY

Principle #2 • All scales should include one fixed pin-load
mount (F), one bumper pin-load mount (B). All
other load point assemblies in a scale must be the
free-sliding mount (S).
Principle #3 • Place the fixed pin-load mount and the bumper
pin load mount as far as possible from each other.
• The fixed pin load mount and the bumper pin
load mount must be mounted in the same longitu-
dinal axis.
• In applications that use three load points it is
sometimes difficult to mount the fixed-pin and
bumper load mounts in-line. Therefore the fixed
pin and bumper load mounts can be positioned at
a 45
o
angle from each other and 45
o
from the
free-pin load mount. See the mounting diagrams
below for more information.
Principle #4 • If possible, the fixed-pin load mount should be
installed so that the load mount is oriented in the
direction of travel (e.g. when under a conveyor,
the load mount must be in the same longitudinal
axis with the direction of the travel of the con-
veyor). The load mount must be oriented in the
direction of any prevalent side force.
Typical Mounting
Arrangements
NOTE: You can orient the load point assemblies to meet your
system installation requirements. All load point
assemblies can be rotated 360
o
in 90
o
increments. The
examples above are recommendations only. The only
required orientation is that the bumper load cell must
point either towards or directly away from the fixed
load point.
Use the load cell cable for the pointer to ensure that
the vessel cannot rotate and allow the cells to slide off
their mounts.
