Section 1 – Packaging Remove the cardboard and shrink wrap from the pallet (if used) and safely lift each item on the pallet. Items on the pallet may be secured using metal or plastic strapping. Use caution, as the strapping may be under tension and can cause injury when cut. If packed in a crate, remove lid and at least one long side and one short side.

Leveling the Stands Once the concrete has cured and all the bolts are straight, the mounting points will need to be leveled. Shims may be used, but the proper method of using leveling nuts is highly recommended as described below. Run a set of leveling nuts on the bolts as low as allowable (one nut per bolt).
Lifting the Stands Note: LMI recommends the detector assemblies be placed and secured into the stands prior to lifting the stand into place. If stands were purchased with your system, the detector assemblies will come pre-assembled with the stands. This can be done by placing the stand on ground level and using lifting straps to lower the detector assembly into the stand and securing using the provided hardware.
Squaring the Stands After the lower stands have been lifted and secured into place, it is crucial that they are square with each other. Failure to do so will result in sensor alignment issues that cannot be resolved with the included sensor mounting brackets. The opposing front outside corners of the stands should be within 1.27 cm (1/2 of an inch) of each other on the diagonal reading.
Mounting the Control Box The control box is required to be mounted indoors since it is not weathertight. It is typically mounted inside the scale house or in close proximity to the scale operator. Four each #8 screws should be used to mount the unit to the wall securely. A paper template has been provided to facilitate the installation.
This protects the system from improper shutdowns and allows for continued operation during power outages. AC power should be delivered to the control box in accordance with code requirements, which supersede these instructions. Such requirements, for example, may include a disconnect device in clear sight of the control box.
The bottom of each detector enclosure and the control box is pre-drilled for conduit connections required for a standard installation. Refer to the following drawings for conduit requirements at the concrete pad. Model 4530-4200 & 4530-7000: 517x550C Model 4530-6300 & 4530-10500: 617x641C Model 4530-8400 &...
