Application planning

4.1

Load cell dummies

Dummies
Load cells are sensitive sensors. We recommend the following to prevent damage during
installation and transportation of load cells:
● Install the load cells at the latest possible time.
● Use so-called "dummies" or "phantoms" during installation or transportation.
The following can be used as dummies, for example:
● A copy of the installation unit by means of a welded construction for installation work
● A SIWAREX WL230 compact installation unit This option is only useful as an alternative
A copy of the installation unit by means of a welded construction
A piece of pipe or some other steel profile is welded between two plates with the hole pattern
for the fixing screws. Installation work can be carried out with the welded construction.
Use of a SIWAREX WL230 compact installation unit
The compact installation units are delivered pre-assembled. Compact installation units are
set to the installation height of the operational unit. Compact installation units can be used to
perform light assembly work.

Lifting protection

The following figure shows a proposed solution for lifting protection. The X designates the
possible lifting path of the load bearing implement. The bore ØD must be larger than the
diameter of the bolt Ød. The movement of the load bearing implement must not be hindered.
