4 RL2200 Load Cell Mounting Kit Installation
2.2 Installing the RL2200
1. The type of installation and strength of the mounting surface governs the method
of locating, attaching, and assembling the RL2200 assembly. Carefully consider
three areas which commonly cause accuracy problems:
• Are the supporting legs adequately braced so they will not spread when the
system is fully loaded?
• Does the supporting structure have the necessary strength to prevent excessive
deflection when the system is fully loaded?
• Is there attached equipment such as skirting, venting, or piping which is likely
to cause binding or lack of flexibility?
2. Determine where to position each mount. The RL2200 is designed to allow for
lateral movement in any direction. Sample mounting orientations to accommo-
date different vessel shapes are as follows:
Top Plate Rocker Pin
Set Screw
