The installation should be planned by a qualified structural engineer to avoid product failure. Each installation is unique, and this booklet is meant to serve only as an overview for installation of the RL1900 Series Mounting Assembly.
If flexible piping is not used, make sure the distance from the vessel to the first pipe support is 20-30 times the pipe diameter. For details, see the technical infor- mation section of the Rice Lake Weighing Sys- FLEXIBLE PIPING tems Load Cell Product Selection Guide. In smaller,...
Load cells should not be installed in the mounts until all welding is completed. The heat generated from welding current passing through a load cell can damage the adhesive holding the strain gauge to the body. If possible, use a dummy load cell when welding to maintain finished height.

After considering any areas that may cause accuracy problems, follow these installation steps. Determine where to position the mount and in which direction it should be oriented. Assemble the mount and load cell according to the drawings shown at the beginning of this section.
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.
4. Junction Box Connections, Adjustments & Calibration • Refer to Junction Box manual for trimming details. • Refer to the indicator manual and/or the “Technical Information” section in the Load Cell Product Selection Guide for system calibration guidelines. 5. T roubleshooting If the system powers up and gives some type of stable digital readout that varies with the load on the system, the system problems are probably caused by factors other than the load cells.
