Fairbanks HVX Series TALON SERIES Motor Truck Scale - Manual (Page 18)

d. For 5½” or 6” load cells the bottom of the cell has two flatsides which must be
aligned with the flats in the lower cup. Carefully lower the scale (hydraulic
jacks) 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 an equal amount of the load. Center section cells will have up to twice
the deadload of end section cells.
e. Once satisfied with height and level, tighten the module-to-module bolts.
• The nuts should be torqued to 500 ft lbs.
f. Load cell cables
• Introduction: Cable protection on truck scales is extremely important to the
reliability of the scale. It is imperative for all cables to be installed off of the
ground and out of sight. The Talon truck scale has been designed to
accommodate this type of cable protection. Described in this section is the
manufacturer’s recommended installation procedure for installing and protecting
cables on the Talon Truck Scale.
• Cable Hangers: Behind every SSC or PPS mounting block is a cable hanger.
These cable hangers are used to hang excess load cell and interconnecting
cables (see Figure 50785-3).
