System is a unique hydraulic based weighing system that utilizes Stainless Steel
hydraulic load cells as a load receiving element. The load cells are coupled by copper or
stainless steel tubing to a totalizer enclosure. The totalizer enclosure contains a simple manifold
assembly and a Cardinal PTG-3K Pressure Transducer for each load cell. The Pressure
transducers convert the hydraulic pressure generated by the load cell to an analog signal that is
easily trimmed and summed.

has no electronic components at the scale. All components at the scale are
highly resistant to water, moisture, lightning damage, and vibration.
IMPORTANT! This manual must be used in conjunction with certified drawings of the
particular weighing system being installed. In case of conflict, the certified drawings
will govern. We recommend that you read this manual in its entirety before starting the
installation.
SITE PREPARATION
Site preparation is consistent with any other scale installation. Conduit, if required, should be
stubbed up at each load cell stand and run to the location of the totalizer enclosure. Any
deviation from this should be noted since extra tubing may be required. Tubing length may not
exceed 125 feet from the load cell to the totalizer, and no splices are allowed. Consideration
should be given to avoid tight radius bends in the conduit that would make it difficult to pull the
tubes to the totalizer enclosure. The totalizer enclosure should be located in a protected area
close to the scale and the indicator cable run in conduit to the weight indicator if long tube runs
need to be avoided. The totalizer enclosure may be located near the weight indicator if it is
convenient to the scale.
