Milltronics MCS Belt Scale
The Milltronics MCS belt scale is a compact, rugged belt scale with stainless steel load
cells for use in mobile crushers and aggregate screening plants.
The Milltronics MCS belt scale includes a left and a right weigh beam, with one load cell
each. The addition of an idler (supplied and installed by the customer) completes the
weighing assembly. The MCS load cells generate an electrical signal proportional to load,
which is fed to the Siemens Milltronics belt scale integrator.
Note: The Milltronics MCS belt scale is an accurate and repeatable force sensor. Its
performance is ultimately dependent on the conveyor system, the quality of the
installation, and the accuracy of the alignment.
Safety Notes
Special attention must be paid to warnings and notes highlighted from the rest of the text

The Manual
This instruction manual covers the installation, operation and maintenance of the MCS
belt scale. Because the MCS belt scale is used in conjunction with an integrator and
optional speed sensor, the instruction manual covering these components must be read
as well.
Please refer to this manual for proper installation and operation of any component of the
weighing system including the MCS. Adhering to the installation and operating
procedures will ensure a quick, trouble-free installation and allow for the maximum
accuracy and reliability of your weighing system.
