General Instructions for Integration

into Conveyor Systems

The IS weighing platform is suitable for installation in conveyor systems.

Follow the general instructions given below and refer to the „Dimensions (Scale

Drawings)" to meet the requirements for such installation. Secure the weighing

platform using the appropriate components from the set of fasteners, YAS04 IS.

Any moving or rotating parts intended to be permanently attached to the

load plate must be designed so that they cannot affect the weighing results.

Rotating mechanisms must be properly balanced, for example. In addition,

take care that the fittings do not collide with the parts of the scale platform

mechanism under the load plate. Make sure to remove the load plate from the

platform before drilling.

Any cables or tubing between the weighing platform and other equipment must

not apply any force to the weighing platform. Make sure that cables do not

touch the load plate.

If you install the weighing platform in conveyor systems in Zone 2 or 22

hazardous areas, you must comply with the applicable safety regulations (e.g.,

in Germany with VDE0165). Special precautions must be taken to prevent the

build-up of static electricity caused by moving parts (e.g., roller conveyors).

Preload Range (Zero-Setting Range)

The weight of components that are securely installed on the weighing platform

is called „preload." The weighing platform must electrically compensate for this

preload so that the entire weighing range is available and so that it is possible to

zero and adjust (calibrate using external weights) the platform. Higher preloads

may result in a reduction in the maximum weighing capacity.

The following weighing capacities must not be exceeded:

for the IS 150 IGG--H, at least 30 kg weighing capacity must remain

for the IS 300 IGG-H, at least 60 kg weighing capacity must remain

Note to Users in the EU *:

Always set the preload prior to verification.

The components for integration into a conveyor must already be installed on the

weighing platform before you connect the platform to the power supply.
