4.1

Installation steps

Note

• Only qualified personnel are authorized to install and operate this equipment. Installation

shall be in accordance with local regulations, standards and established safety practices.

Read and understand the instructions before installing, operating or maintaining the

equipment.

• Flexible in-feed connections are REQUIRED for all applications. Flexible discharge

connections are also recommended.

1. Construct the necessary support framework to provide a sturdy, rigid base. Vibration isolators

are recommended if the location is subject to moderate or heavy vibration.

2. Align the in-feed section of the weighfeeder with the discharge of the feed device. Prevent

twisting or misalignment that could induce stress on the weighing section.

3. Install a gasket between the flanges for dust control.

4. Securely fasten the unit to the rigid, level structure constructed in step 1. Use a level for

verification and shim as necessary. Prevent any twisting of the frame that may affect

weighfeeder performance.

Note

The inlet and discharge of the weighfeeder will not support load.

Note

If your system has a permanently lubricated gear motor, then disregard this step, and

proceed directly to step 6.

Check the gear reducer oil level. For further details, see the gear reducer information under

Maitenance.

6. A de-dust port may be provided at the discharge end of enclosed units. If no de-dust system

is required, this port should be closed.

7. Connect the proper electric supply to the motor and/or motor controller. The AC or DC motor

controller (if present) must be grounded to minimize noise to the electronic integrator. Refer

to the applicable wiring diagram to make all electrical connections between the electronic

integrator and the weighfeeder.

Note

Units with a plugged discharge switch should refer to the wiring diagram included in the

CLS100 manual.
