Page 4: Introduction
1. Introduction The RL1800 Series Weigh Modules are designed to accommodate normal vessel expansion in all directions while still exercising self-checking capabilities. The center-pivoting, tension loading design incorporates spherical washers and a unique pivoting trunnion that self-restores to its center position. Vessel leveling and adjustment can easily be done with the center loading bolt, and the load cell can be replaced without raising the vessel. -

vessel to the first pipe support is 20-30 times the pipe diameter. In smaller, lower capacity tanks and hoppers, isolating the resultant forces becomes extremely critical. When possible, flexible conduit piping should be used close to the vessel instead of the rigid variety. For details, see our Weigh Modules &... - Page 7 • Are the supporting legs adequately braced so they will not spread when the system is fully loaded? • Does the supporting structure have the necessary strength to prevent flexing when the system is fully loaded? • Is there attached equipment such as skirting, venting, or piping which is likely to cause binding or lack of flexibility? 2.

3. Load Cell Wiring Route the load cell cables so they will not be damaged or cut. Cable should not be routed near heat sources greater than 150 °F (66 °C). Do not shorten any load cell cable. The load cell is temperature compensated with the supplied length of cable. -
