Monorail Installation Guide
This guide is a step by step procedure for installing a Weigh-Tronix monorail
scale. Before you attempt any of these procedures, we urge you to read
through the entire guide so you can familiarize yourself with what needs to
be done.
Locate the point in the existing monorail system where the weighing unit is
to be installed and route the interface cables to that location. Refer to Figure
1 and proceed as follows:
1. Remove a section of existing monorail equal to the total length of the
weighing unit and support the ends with rail hangers.
2. Drill holes in the dead rails and mount the weighing unit in place using
standard rail hangers.
3. Angle iron or similar bracing material can be attached to the back frame
of the unit for additional support and to eliminate vibration.
4. Adjust the weighing unit so it is level both lengthwise and from front to
back. A level can be placed on top of the back frame to check the
levelness of the unit.
5. Connect the indicator interface cable to J1 on the junction box. On the
in-motion model, see Figure 1, connect the control cable to the limit
switch. Interface cables should be routed and secured so they will not
be pinched, cut or snagged by monorail operations.
