Section 1: General Information This Instruction manual provides installation instructions for the Fairbanks Titan Modular Steel Deck Truck Scales. For assurance of correct Titan scale installation(s), use: • • • Methods and Procedures FF-2267 / 101732 (See Appendix.) The Certified prints/setting plans supplied with the scale This Instruction Manual, 50745 The concrete foundation work must be performed according to the certified prints issued for the specific customer and order number.
Section 2: Description The Titan Modular Steel Deck truck scales are available in various lengths from 27 to 105 feet, and widths from 10 to 14 feet. The scale is made up of modules of 27, 30, and 35 feet in length. All modules are assembled and welded at the factory. • The scale should be located so that vehicles can approach and exit the scale as easily as possible. • The platform should be visible from the instrument location.

Section 3: Installation Installation consists of the following: • Foundation check, layout, and base plate setting • Tools, materials, documentation, and a crane • Setting the modules • Setting the modules on load cells A. Preparations for Installation: Tools, Equipment, and Materials Required 1. Certified Prints 2. A mobile crane of sufficient capacity to safely lift and place the weighbridge modules. • 3. Approximate Steel Deck Module maximum weight: 8 tons.
B. Foundation: Before installing any part of the scale, the foundation must be checked for accuracy using Foundation Inspection, Field Check List, FF-2267 / 101732 (see Appendix ). 1. Layout and position the base plates in the proper locations using the Methods & Procedures and certified prints. Each base plate must be level and in full contact with the top of the pier. Adjustments can be made by chipping the concrete or grouting under the base plates. 2.
C. Setting the Modules 1. Preparing The Modules For Lifting • The module(s) are complete with channel pieces welded to the sides for attaching lifting hooks. No lifting bolts are required. 50745-2 2. Setting the Center or Base Module: a. The center or base module is always set first. The center or base module will have four (4) load cells to install; all other modules will have two (2) load cells.
OPTION 1: Set the module directly on the locating tools and the blocks will act as safety stands. • Install a load cell bearing cup with "O" rings into the upper receiver of each corner on the module. Grease will help hold the cup in place. • Insert the upper end of the locating tool into the upper cup on the module. • Lower the module while holding the locating tool upright and guiding the bottom of the tool into the lower cup.
4. 5. Before releasing cable tension • Check the alignment of the end modules to the center or base module and to the end wall. • Using the provided shims, fill any gaps on the supporting blocks and get the modules properly aligned. Connecting the Modules: • Bolt the modules together using the 11/8" x 8" threaded rod, lock washers, flat washers and nuts provided. Tighten the bolts snugly, but do not tighten them completely. Shim the supporting blocks, if necessary, to align the modules.
7. Base Plate Completion: • Check that all locating tools are properly aligned and flush with the receiver cups. Drill the holes for the base plate anchors using a hammer-drill and the 5/8" drill bit. Tap the anchors into clean holes and tighten the nuts securely. 50745-10 Use eye protection! 8. 50745 Installing Load Cells: a. Unpack the load cells and mark each calibration certificate with the cell location/position. b.
d. On the bottom of the load cells there are two flatsides which must be aligned with the flats in the lower cup. Carefully lower the scale while seating the bottom of the cell into the lower cup. Check the scale's level and height, particularly at the approaches. Use the load cell shims provided to adjust load cell cups for correct height and to ensure that all cells share the proper amount of load. Center section cells will have up to twice the deadload of end section cells. e.
Section 4: Electrical Installation A. Introduction The Titan scale was designed to be used with Intalogix™ systems. Intalogix™ systems utilize smart sectional controllers (SSC) and pit power supplies (PPS) for load cell excitation and signal processing. Analog instruments cannot be used with this platform. The sensitivity using a analog indicator would be approximately a half (.5) microvolt. Most analog instruments have a minimum sensitivity of one (1) microvolt. B.
c. Smart Sectional Controller Wire cells into each section’s sectional controller per the appropriate service manual. Refer to the Appendix for typical wiring information. Load Cell Wiring Designations Color Description Black (-) Excitation Green (+) Excitation Red (-) Signal White (+) Signal Yellow Shield Note: The Titan has been designed to provide protection from the effects of moisture. The load cells have been calibrated with the cable attached, and therefore the cable should NOT be cut.
Note: Intalogix™ installations utilize a specific numbering system for load cells because of digital addressing of the SSCs. Number the load cells as follows: With respect to the following starting position, face the platform from where the indicator is located. The cell at the upper left or far side of the platform is Cell 1. The cell positions along the far side will be odd cell numbers, the near side locations will be even cell numbers (see Image 50745-12).
Section 5: Maintenance A. Scale Maintenance 1. Check for accumulations of solid material under the scale which may affect the accuracy, i.e., ice, frozen mud, debris. 2. Have the customer clean under the platform regularly. 3. Inspect load cells for damage to the ends/cables, check cups and O-rings for damage. 4. The load cell bearing cups should be inspected, cleaned and greased periodically. 5. Inspect and adjust all checking to proper tolerances. B. Mechanical Faults 1.

Section 7: Accessories A. Field Installed Rub Rail Installation • • • • • • • Disconnect all loadcells. Electrically isolate the load cells from the platform. Use the print with the accessory for actual measurements Clean (remove primer) the areas to be welded for good penetration. Weld stiffeners to the side weldments. Bolt the gussets to the stiffeners and end weldments. Weld pipe to the gussets. Clean and paint (paint provided) all weld areas.
