Section 1: General Information
1.1. SCOPE
This manual provides general installation and maintenance instructions for the
Fairbanks Scales’ 9104 FB Series Omnicell. Almost every installation is different, so
please adjust the following information, as needed, for your application.
Specifications, parameters and application notes are included.
This manual is meant to give general instructions for applying the Omnicell
considering its inherent capabilities and limitations; it is not meant to be a scale
design manual. Questions concerning specific applications should be directed to the
appropriate Product Manager.
For complete 9104 FB Series installation you will also need to reference the
necessary instrumentation manual.
1.2. INTRODUCTION
The 9104 FB Series Omnicell provides an extremely accurate method for weighing
medium to large capacity vessels, hoppers, and tanks. The 9104 FB Omnicells utilize
double-ended shear beam load cells in their design. This design is also effective
providing thermal expansion and contraction built-in support for applications that
require it. In most applications, the 9104 FB are self-checking with no need for
additional checking, making the 9104 FB Series Omnicell the mount of choice for
those areas with seismic activity.
1.3. DESCRIPTION
Fairbanks Scales’ Omnicells are a combination of two main components:
•
Mounting assembly (captivates the load cell and provides means to fasten to
the vessel and flooring).
•
Load cell (the actual weight detecting device).
The 9104 FB Series Omnicells will arrive preassembled, including the load cells. This
mounting assembly is specifically designed to be installed with the load cell.
The 9104 FB Series Omnicells are available in standard capacities ranging from 1K to
75K lbs.
The load cells are constructed from stainless steel or mild alloy steel in a double-
ended shear beam design.
The mounting assembly is available in either a nickel-plated mild alloy steel or
stainless steel construction.
