Fairbanks HVX Series TALON SERIES Motor Truck Scale - Manual (Page 14)

4. Setting the Center Module
The center module is always set first. The center module will have four load cells to
install, all other modules will have two load cells. The modules must be placed in
the proper order and aligned in the foundation so that all modules fit correctly.
• These scales have a definite orientation because the cable conduit is welded
to one (1) side only. These modules have unmarked ends as well. The conduit
side of the center module should face the home-run conduit; the conduit side of
the other modules must face the same way.
a. Place blocks that will set the modules at a height slightly less than the finished
height as safety blocks, or for setting the modules on.
b. Lift the center module to a location above the four center load cell base plates.
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, 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.
• When the center module is set on all four locating tools, keep tension on
the cables until the module is centered and straight.
• Use hydraulic jacks to lift the unit slightly and shift the base plates to get
the locating tools plumb and the top and bottom flanges FLUSH with the
sides of the cup.
OPTION 2:
• Set the modules on the blocks first, then onto the locating tools.
• When the module is set on the blocks, keep tension on the cables until the
module is properly aligned.
• Use hydraulic jacks to lift the unit slightly then install the locating tools.
Shift the base plates to get the tools plumb and the top and bottom flanges
FLUSH with the sides of the cup.
