MOUNTING PREPARATION
CAUTION
The weighing modules are delivered completely assembled, however, without a load cell.
Instead of the load cell, a dummy has been assembled into the weighing module, which is
capable of taking up the specified loads. Before the weighing module is mounted under
neath the tank, vessel or silo, check whether dummy replacement through the load cell will
still be possible even if the tank is placed on the weighing module. In order to effect the
replacement, a suitable lifting device is necessary that is capable of lifting the tank by at
least 10 mm. Pipe connections mounted on the tank or the feed‐in or discharge systems
have to be vertically movable or separable.
Notice
If this is not the case, the dummy must be replaced by an appropriate RTN load cell already
before the weighing module is mounted.
General mounting preparations
S
Ensure that the assembly/siting areas provided are clean, level and horizontally
aligned. Any askew positions can be compensated for, depending on the assembly
situation, for example by appropriate wedges and compensation plates (weld in posi
tion) or by grinding down the assembly area. However, module plates must not be
ground down under any circumstances.
S
The foundations / basic construction and the connection of the superstructure must
be sufficiently rigid in order to avoid deformations (e.g. deflections) under load.
S
In order to provide for fitting and assembly free from any constraining forces, the
mounting bores on the basic construction and the tank connection must be suffi
ciently aligned.
S
An even loading on the bearing points is to be sought. To this end, in particular for
statically indefinite bearings, ensure that the height level setting at the bearing points
is correct (provide spacer plates, 5 x 1 mm included in scope of delivery).
S
Undo transport protection device and stops, fit height adjustment plates (dependent
on maximum capacity, see Dimensions).
