Hygienic Weighing Module Contego® 1 Introduction NOTICE Warning of damage to property and/or the environment. NOTICE indicates that damage to property and/or the environment may occur if appropriate safety measures are not observed. Take the corresponding safety precautions. Note: User tips, useful information, and notes.
The weighing module Contego® may be used only for weighing tasks as intended. The dimensions of all mounting and structural components must be calculated so that suicient overload capacity is ensured for all loads which may occur while taking the relevant standards into account.

3 Recommendations for installation Hygienic Weighing Module Contego® The underframe of the vessels must be strong enough to support the speciied loads, horizontal (water level!) and lat. Preferably, vessels should be installed on 3 weighing modules with integrated stopper (see igure).
Hygienic Weighing Module Contego® 3 Recommendations for installation Upper plates are connected with each other. Domed feet, non-ixated Mounting aid The auxiliary mounting plates (1) facilitate installation of the weighing module. EN-8 Minebea Intec...
Threaded bush Lower plate The hygienic weighing module Contego® is equipped with an internal lift-of protection, i.e. no additional borings apart from the mounting holes in the vessel foot are required. Moreover, the vessel can be lifted by turning the threaded bolt (4) (see Chapter 3.4.2), e.g., when replacing the load cell.
Hygienic Weighing Module Contego® 3 Recommendations for installation 3.4.2 Jack-up WARNING The vessel can tip over. Do not lift the vessel by more than 6 mm. Lift the vessel as follows: Loosen the nut (5). 2. Turn the threaded bolt (4) upwards at the hex to lift the vessel.
3 Recommendations for installation Hygienic Weighing Module Contego® 3.4.3 Adjusting the built-in lift-of protection Loosen the nut (5). 2. Slowly turn the threaded bolt (4) on the lift-of protection at the hex downwards to the stop. 3. Turn the threaded bolt (4) back 1–1½ times to set the distance A = approx. 2 mm.

Hygienic Weighing Module Contego® 9 Servicing/repairs/cleaning Note: Securing the threaded bush (4) with Loctite is imperative. 7. Insert a new bellow (not shown) into the weighing module carefully, until the threaded bush (4) with the lift-of protector can be re-mounted. Make sure to use the correct tightening torque, see Chapter 5.2.
9 Servicing/repairs/cleaning Hygienic Weighing Module Contego® 14. Re-screw the stopper (5) together with the ilm on the lower plate (9). Make sure to use the correct tightening torque, see Chapter 5.2. If shaft (8) or/and roller (7) cannot be moved, the weighing module is distorted and must be adjusted: 15.
