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.
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.
For example, rotating mechanisms must be properly balanced.
Before attaching the "preload" parts to the weighing platform, you must
ensure that the "preload" weight can be set (see the "Specifications Chart").
In addition, take care that the fittings do not collide with parts of the scale
platform mechanism under the toad 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.
lf you install the weighing platform in conveyor Systems in Zone 2
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 electrically
compensates 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 maximum preload that can be compensated for depends on the
specifications configured (see the "Specifications Chart").
The components for Integration into a conveyor must already be installed on
the weighing platform before you connect the platform to the power supply.

Note to Users in the EU':
Always be sure to set the preload before verification for use in legal
metrology.
