General Installation
1. Prior to installing the load cell, verify that they are the correct
capacity for your application by reviewing the information on
the label.
2. Measure the load cell voltage output. With no-load,
the meter should read 0mV. (This measurement range is used
only to verify the condition of the Load Disc.)
If the reading is significantly outside of this range, consult the
factory before continuing the installation.
Note: Concrete founda-
tion and grouting shown

concepts apply to all
foundation types.

a. For Universal Top Plate Adapter, install bolt and
plate to LD3xi, tightening bolt to 5-10 ft-lbs.
b. For Leveling and Anyadapter, install washers and
nuts to the bolt and plate, making sure the washers/
nuts are loosely tightened against plate. Install the
plate assembly to the LD3xi, tightening bolt to 5-10
ft-lbs.
4. For Leveling and Anyadapter applications, adjust plate to
lowest position by lowering jam nut to top of LD3xi and
tighten. Then lower leveling nut to the jam nut.
