8.1.2 Replacing the Load Cell
Caution:
Do not lift or transport the load cell on its cable.
Note: Load cell cable gland
When turning, the position of the gland remains unchanged.
Only the inner clamping is released.
Procedure
• Slip the bellow (not shown) upwards over the mounting kit and the vessel foot (7) or downwards over
the adaptor plate (5) carefully so that the mounting kit remains accessible for mounting.
• Release the locknut (4).
• Turn up the bolt (3) at the hex to lift the vessel. Turn the bolt (3) until the load cell (6) is unloaded and
can be removed.
• Release the gland (2) (see also the note) only until the load cell cable (1) can be withdrawn.
• Remove the load cell (6) from the mounting kit and take the upper thrust piece out of the load cell.
Socket with lower thrust piece (including O-ring) remain in the lower plate.
