3.5. PRECAUTIONS
3.5.1. Welding
If arc welding or cutting is required during any stages of weighbridge and deck
installation, prevent currents from damaging the Load Cells.
• The load cell cable must be disconnected.
• Removal of the load cells is recommended.
• The load cells cable terminations must not be allowed to touch any part of the
weighbridge, pit steel or each other. Insulate each cable lead.
• The load cell cables should be coiled up and kept as far as possible from any
steel.
• The arc welder ground connection should be made as close as possible to the
weld location.
• The arc welder ground must be connected so that currents DO NOT pass through
the load cell(s).
• Do not use higher welding current than absolutely necessary.
• Protect the load cells from the heating and splattering effects of welding.
