Verification of the Foundation
Refer to the Foundation Drawing
Pit Installations: Standard
drawings supplied are for
above ground installation of the
scale. If the scale is installed in
a pit, proper drainage must be
provided.
Proper clearance (24" recommended) must be allowed
between the scale and the pit
wall on the length side. This
clearance is required for the
installation of load cells,
checking system, covers etc.
Verify the distance between the approach (bottom or top of the rail) and the
top of the concrete where the grout plates will be installed.
Verify the distance from approach to approach and if the scale is installed in
a shallow pit, the length & width of the pit.
Verify the location of the anchor bolts.
Installation of the Grout Plates
Two types of grout plates are used in this scale. One type has provision to
connect the checking system and the other type does not. Refer to the
Foundation / General Arrangement Drawing for the selection and location of
these grout plates.
