Aligning the Load Cells
After all cells have been installed adjust the end bumper assembly out till they just meet the wall. This will
restrict weighbridge movement during the leveling of load cells. Once the load cell assembly has been installed
it must be checked for correct alignment. Using the B-TEK load cell surface level, supplied to authorized deal
-
ers, attach to the lower diameter of the load cell using the integral magnet. The magnet can be adjusted in and
out by turning the set screw.
With the level attached to the load cell, verify that the load cell is aligned
both horizontally and vertically by ensuring that the air bubble is visible
between marked lines.
If the load cell is out of level, adjustments can be made by realigning the
foundation base plate.
Repeat the check with the level to verify that the load cell is aligned
correctly.
Continue to readjust the locating plate as needed.
B-TEK Load Cell Surface Level
Once the entire scale has had the load cell assemblies installed and aligned correctly, readjust all bumper
checking assemblies to within 1/16” - 1/8”. Prior to drilling, make sure that all deck / cover plates are aligned
and bolted.
At this time drill and install all of the anchors for the base plates. Anchors are suggested to be 3/4” X 7” long
wedge anchors. A 3/4” X 36” long drill bit can be used for the holes.
