Page 5: Introduction
Blueprints furnished with the specific scale always take priority over these generic SR–Series installation guidelines. Refer to the blueprints furnished with the scale for all component numbering sequences. Authorized distributors and their employees can view or download this manual from the Rice Lake Weighing Systems distributor site at www.ricelake.com... -
Page 6: Installation
Installation The individual components and modular sections of the SURVIVOR Siderail truck scales assemble smoothly following a proven construction sequence. Some of the steps may change slightly depending on the lifting equipment (crane or forklift) you have available. Assembling a single-platform gross weighing scale, or a multi-platform axle weighing model, will require slightly different steps, but the general assembly order for all scales will be roughly the same. -
Page 7: Determine Frame Assembly Sequence
1.2.4 Determine Frame Assembly Sequence The scale assembly sequence can be done in either of two ways: side-to-side or end-to-end. Analyze your site access, equipment, and manpower to determine which is better for you. The truck has been loaded in a way that avoids double-handling beams on site. - Page 8 End-to-End Assembly Sequence This method requires more setting blocks, but no chain winches. More driving on the slab is necessary, but the assembly can be done by a forklift with standard length tines. Begin by setting one row of side rail beams on 8" setting blocks as in the previous method.

Page 9: Assemble Frame Siderails And Cross Beams
Assemble Frame Siderails and Cross Beams Whichever assembly sequence you chose, observe the following details. • Use 8" high setting blocks so the deck frame will nearly match the level of the approaches. • Don’t torque down cross beam assembly bolts tightly until the module is aligned and squared. •... -
Page 10: 2.3.2 Cross Beam Numbering
2.3.2 Cross Beam Numbering Cross beams are marked with numbers 5, 6, or 7 on the web near the drain tube. Number 5 cross beams attach on the ends of a scale section. The welded plate and angle extension face to the end of the section. The headed anchor rods face inward where they will be encased in the concrete deck. -
Page 11: Level And Align Frame, And Bolt Tightly
Level and Align Frame, and Bolt Tightly The following sections cover the steps in aligning and leveling the SR truck scale deck. Align and Square Deck Align the siderails with a string line and square the entire frame by measuring diagonals with a 100' tape. As the siderails may not be perfectly vertical, measuring diagonals across the top flanges of the siderails may not reflect the true squareness of the deck. -
Page 12: Set Load Cell Mounts
Set Load Cell Mounts This section covers the steps in setting the load cell mounts on the SR series truck scale. Attach Mount Chair The mounts may be attached in any order. Begin each mount by removing the girder chair and four bolts from the mount box and bolting the chair on the bottom of the siderail at a mount cut-out. -
Page 13: Tighten Load Cell Screws
Tighten Load Cell Screws Turn in and tighten both load cell screws to 50 ft.lb. minimum. You can now tell if the baseplate is directly under the chair by how the top convex surface of the link is aligning with the concave bearing surface of the chair. -
Page 14: Install Anchor Bolts And Grout
Install Anchor Bolts and Grout Each mount requires two anchor bolts to prevent lateral motion or uplift. 7" x 3/4" anchor bolts with expansion heads as shown at right are supplied with the scale. After anchor bolts are set, epoxy/cement grouting is required to distribute the baseplate load evenly to the foundation. -
Page 15: Install Support Bars, Corrugated Metal, And Deck Rebar
Install Support Bars, Corrugated Metal, and Deck Rebar Support Bars 2" x 3/16" steel bar stock bolted between cross beams support the corrugated sheet metal that forms the bottom surface for the concrete deck pour. Several different lengths of support bars are necessary for most scale lengths. See the attached blueprint of the scale to determine where each of the different lengths are located in the frame. -
Page 16: Deck Rebar
Deck Rebar Reinforcing for the concrete deck consists of #5 rebar tied on 8" centers, see Section 7.1. Long rebars are first tied to the bottom of the Nelson studs on each cross beam, which locates them approximately 1.5" above the corrugated metal. -
Page 17: Pour And Finish Concrete Deck
Pour and Finish Concrete Deck With a concrete crew of three experienced workers, a 70'-90' scale 14' wide can be poured and finished in approximately three hours. Access to only one side of the scale is necessary as most concrete trucks carry extension chutes at least 16' long. - Page 18 With the bay level and floated, finish against the siderails with either a magnesium float or steel trowel for a neat deck line level with the exposed cross beams. If you have taped plastic-film splatter guards on the siderails, the bottom tape strip will serve as a guide for the finished deck level between cross beams.

Page 19: Install Conduit, Cabling, And J-Boxes
Install Conduit, Cabling, and J-Boxes Load cells are supplied with 60' cables. Since each cell is temperature-compensated for the supplied cable length, do not change any cable length. There will be room to coil excess cable inside the junction box after making final connections. - Page 20 Pockets 1 and 2 Conduit runs to J-Box Pocket 1 Conduit Section 1B Section 2B Section 3B Section 4B Section 5B Module D Module C Module B Module A Pocket 3 Conduit Pocket 4 Conduit Detail A Detail B Pocket 5 Conduit Section 1A Section 2A Section 3A...

Page 21: Flexible Conduit Sections
Flexible Conduit Sections All areas of cabling where rigid conduit might affect load cell deflection must use flexible cable sections. This includes cable sections adjacent to load cells as in the photo at left. In this application, a threaded LB fitting connects the flexible section to the rigid conduit running beneath the scale deck to the junction box on the opposite siderail. -
Page 22: Junction Boxes
A separate grounding system conductor must extend uninterrupted from the main service panel ground to the scale to protect load cells and scale wiring from lightning and other transient damage. This ground wire conductor must be an unsheathed #10 copper wire or larger. Run the bare ground wire conductor intact from the AC power ground rod to the scale in a separate trench. - Page 23 TRIM TRIM EXPANSION/J9 Assembly PN Rev. +SEN -SEN JP10 INDICATOR/J10 TRIM TRIM TRIM TRIM +SEN JP17 JP12 -SEN JP18 JP13 CUT TRACE TO ISOLATE SENSE LINE Transient Board Connectors JMP/POS JMP/NEG JP19 JP14 JP20 JP15 2005 TRIM TRIM CONNECT BOTH SHUNTS DISCONNECT BOTH SHUNTS TO APPLY SIGNAL TO REMOVE SIGNAL...

Page 24: Overview And Equipment Required
Overview and Equipment Required Load Cell Trimming Individual load cell signal trimming (equalizing the signal output from each load cell) must be done first along each side of the scale so all cells on a side have equal signal output. Adjustments are somewhat interactive, so each side should be done at least twice. - Page 25 Figure 8-6. Trimming Load Cell Numbers Two, Three, and Four 3. The lowest reading of the four will be your reference cell. You won’t change that cell’s signal. Instead you’ll use the individual cell potentiometers for the other three cells to reduce those signals to match your reference cell.
-
Page 26: Trimming Paired Sections
Trimming Paired Sections Now that you’ve trimmed all individual load cells for equal output, pairs of load cells on opposite sides of the scale must be trimmed for equal sectional output. This process is called section signal trimming. 1. Park the loaded weight cart in the middle of the scale and directly over an imaginary line connecting an end pair of cells (1 and 8 in the example at right). - Page 27 Vehicle Scale Limited Warranty Rice Lake Weighing Systems (RLWS) warrants that all RLWS brand equipment and systems properly installed by a Distributor will operate in accordance with written specifications as confirmed by the Distributor and accepted by RLWS.
