After installation, the top and bottom plates must be level within ±0.5°. If the mounting surfaces are not level, then shims and or grout may be used to level the mount. If possible, check that the mount is level when the vessel is fully loaded because excessive deflections in legs and supporting structures may cause additional side forces which greatly affect accuracy.

    Determine where to position the mount and in which direction it should be oriented. The EZ Mount 1 is designed to allow for lateral movement in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the load cell. These tank weighing units should be oriented so that the movement due to thermal expansion/contraction is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

The LOAD CELL BOLTS are then passed through the ends of the LOAD CELL and LOAD BARS and threaded into the BASE PLATE and hand tightened.

    5. Troubleshooting If the system powers up and gives some type of stable digital readout that varies with the load on the system, any system problems are probably caused by factors other than the load cells. The load cells are often blamed for a malfunctioning system, but 90% of the time, the problem lies elsewhere.
