Load cell handling
The WD600 belt scale is designed for low to medium-capacity operation and uses two load cells.
Although the load cells are protected by shipping stops that keep the cells from moving, care
should be taken when handling the scale to avoid damaging the cells. The stops are screws that
are 38mm (1.5") long. The screw threads into the bottom of the load cell and pulls the cell
against the overload stop, use a 0.5mm (.02") shim between the load cell and overload stop to
prevent damage. When handling the WD600 during installation and set-up, make sure the stops
remain in place. Reinstall both shipping stops during maintenance or prolonged shutdown.
