INTRODUCTION Cardinal Scale’s DB-SP CenterPoint load cell heavy-capacity mounting kits utilize the time- tested and reliably proven model DB double-ended stainless steel load cells that feature a center load design. The stands are available in either stainless steel or mild steel powder- painted industrial tan and they bolt directly to the floor and tank.
Standard Capacities range from 60,000 lb (27,000 kg) up to System Capacities: 300,000 lb (136,000 kg) Indicators: A wide selection of digital weight indicators are also available from Cardinal Scale Tanks, hoppers, silos, and bins.

GENERAL INSTALLATION GUIDELINES 1. The mounting surface for the base plate and top plate must clear of debris and rough spots and be level within ± 0.5 degrees to minimize side loads and extraneous forces. If the mounting surfaces are not level, the base plate has four leveling screws that can be adjusted up or down as necessary to level the module.
INSTALLATION The type of installation, the structure of the tank supports, and the strength of the mounting surface govern the method of locating, attaching and installing the load cell assembly. Carefully consider three areas that commonly cause accuracy problems: • Are the supporting legs adequately braced so they will not spread when the system is fully loaded? •...
LOAD CELL WIRING NOTE: Cardinal Scale Mfg. Co. recommends that the customer install protective conduit/cover for the load cell cables whenever the condition is present that can result in damage or abrasion to the load cell cables. 1. Route the load cell cables so they will not be damaged or cut. The cable should not be routed near heat sources.

LOAD CELL REPLACEMENT The following procedure describes changing the load cell in a DB-SP CenterPoint, mild steel powder painted, or stainless steel low-profile load cell stand. DANGER! TO PREVENT TIPPING OF THE VESSEL, SUPPORT THE VESSEL WITH BLOCKS OR OTHER SUPPORTS TO ENSURE THE STABILITY OF THE VESSEL, BEFORE LIFTING IT OFF THE LOAD CELL STAND.
