Mounting load cells
2
The mounting brackets supplied by Tru-Test are designed to be easily bolted to the chute (crush) and concrete pad. For non
Tru-Test brackets, contact your supplier.
Install the load cells either widthways across the chute/crush or lengthways parallel to the chute/crush.
Warning:
If welding the brackets, you must remove the load cell to avoid damage.
Installing the junction box
3
Choose a location for the junction box that is off the ground and protected from animals.
2
Attach the top plate to chute (crush), ensuring the mounting
is of sufficient strength to bear the load without distortion.
Ensure the load cell label "TOP" is facing upwards.
Bolt the bottom plate onto a level surface using appropriate
fixings.
Load cells can be mounted
widthways or lengthways
Remove the lid.
1
Mount the box by inserting screws into the four mounting holes. Use
2
screws/bolts less than 5/32" (4mm) in diameter. Do not drill new
mounting holes as this may allow water to enter the junction box.
Make sure the cable glands point down from the box to prevent water
entering the junction box.
