3.3. INSTALLATION
3.3.1. Installation Steps Overview
Installation consists of the following:
•
Foundation check, layout, and mounting assembly installation
•
Tools, materials, documentation, and a lifting mechanism (crane or hydraulic jack)
•
Installation of the mounting assemblies
•
Installation of the load cells
3.3.2. Mechanical Installation
Install the Omnicells underneath the vessels legs. Many vessels have 3, 4, or
more legs. The vessel design should be that the legs do not “spread” as the
vessel is loaded. The Omnicells should be level and should be shimmed so that
the load is roughly equal (+/- 20%) on each Omnicell used in the installation.
When the Omnicells are installed, position the units so that there is no side
loading or binding.
The Omnicells are designed to allow for lateral movement. The Omnicells
should be oriented so that the major vessel expansion-contraction in in that
plane.
The following are important considerations for Omnicell installations:
1. The Omnicells must be level and parallel so that side loads and bending
moment loads are minimized.
