Installing the loadbars
It is recommended that you use Gallagher Loadbars with the W-0 Scale.
The W-0 recognises other most commonly available Loadbar sets. If you are not
using Gallagher Loadbars.
Steps to install loadbars
1.
Select a weighing site that provides a solid, level and well drained surface.
2.
Ensure the loadbars and platform are well secured and clear of any
obstructions.
3.
Either bolt the loadbars to the concrete pad or locate them on studs set into
the concrete. It is important that the loadbars and platform sit flat without
any rocking or twisting to avoid weighing inaccuracies.
Note: It may be necessary to shim the loadbars or platform to ensure there
are no twisting pressures within the platform. Weights should be evenly
distributed over the top of the weigh bars.
4.
Connect the loadbar cables to the W-0.
A beep will sound indicating a successful connection/ disconnection of the
loadbars.
WARNING – Do not weld the loadbars or any structure that they are
attached to. Loadbars contain sensitive electronic devices which will be
damaged by welding. Damage caused by welding will void warranty.
Position the W-0:
•
clear of the platform to
ensure it does not interfere
with the flow of animals
during the weighing cycle
•
within easy reach of the
loadbar leads
•
within easy reach of the
operator (for manual
weighing)
