Introduction - Cardinal CenterPoint DB-SP Technical Manual

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. The DB-SP's environmentally
sealed load cells are NTEP, OIML, and VCAP certified for quality and accuracy. The DB-SP
CenterPoint load cell kits are perfect for mixing, blending, batching, inventory control, and
general weighing. Combine them with one of Cardinal's state-of-the-art 200 series weight
indicators for a complete digital weighing system.
The DB-SP CenterPoint series feature stainless steel, environmentally sealed, center-load,
pin-mount, double-ended shear beam load cells, with standard system capacities that range
from 60,000 to 300,000 lbs (27,000 to 136,000 kg).
This manual should be studied thoroughly before attempting to install the load cell kit and must
be used in conjunction with certified drawings of the particular scale being installed.
In case of conflict, the certified drawings will govern.
Safety should always be the prime consideration during all phases of the installation. Failure to
comply with the instructions in this manual will void all warranty implied or stated.
All systems need to be safety-checked or chained to prevent failure. A qualified engineer
should be consulted that has determined that the vessel to be used is structurally sound and
capable of being supported by three or four points when filled to capacity.
