Installation
Centerlign weigh modules provide no protection against tipping. To prevent uplift forces
from tipping the scale, you should install safety check rods.
The actual installation procedure will depend on the specific requirements of an
application. One of the first things to consider is the foundation on which the scale will
be placed. This is usually a concrete floor or steel support structure. Whichever you are
using, you will need to make sure that it is strong enough to remain rigid under the
weight of the full scale. The base plate bearing data in Table 8-1 lists the pressure that
each weigh module will exert on its foundation.
WARNING
CENTERLIGN WEIGH MODULES DO NOT PROVIDE OVERTURN PROTECTION. IF ANY
UPLIFT FORCES ARE GENERATED, UPLIFT/OVERTURN PROTECTION MUST BE
ADDED SEPARATELY.
