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 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.
• Any welding should be done prior to installation
of the load points.
• Proper drainage must be provided 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 CABLE.
• Never allow moisture to get into any interconnec-
tions.
WARNING • Load cell cable length has been calculated into
C2 calibration data. Hardy Process Solutions rec-
ommends that you do not cut your Advantage or
Advantage Lite load sensor cable, as your C2
accuracy will be affected and the warranty will be
voided.
Basic Engineering
Principles for Positioning
Load Point Assemblies
Principle #1 • Load Points Assemblies should be positioned
such 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.
