LOAD CELL FEET CHECKS
1. Be sure when leveling the BB, the load feet are resting securely on the floor
and thread bolt engagement is a minimum of 50% in the load cell prior to
jamming the lock nut. Be careful not to over tighten.
2. Be sure there is a clearance of 1” min and 2” max between the floor and the
bottom of bulk bag frame.
NOTE: Do not over tighten the jam nut. This may cause reading errors, causing
erratic weights.
3. Secure the load cell cable to the floor or wall. Take care not to stretch or bind
cable as this will effect weight readings.
4. In most cases the controller frame and main enclosure are strapped to a
pallet which is strapped to the vibratory deck of the bulk bagger. However, on
occasions they are disconnected for shipment, and you may have to
reconnect the load cell cable and disconnect cable back to the weight
indicator. Reference the indicator User and Installation Guide for proper
connections.
Note: Depending on the model and configuration, your indicator may come pre-connected to
the scale.
CONNECTING TO SUPPLY BIN
The Model 520 Bulk Bag Filler can be fed via slide-gate valve, butterfly valve, auger, rotary
vane feeder or air lock feeder. In a typical installation, one of these feed devices will be
fastened directly to the customers supply bin. An 8" flex connector hose is installed to the outlet
side of the chosen feed device down to the bulk bag filler head. Care must be taken to ensure
that there is a minimum of 6” of flex hose between the feeding valve assembly and the inlet to
the filling head of the Bulk Bagger, if not adjusting for various Bulk Bagger heights. If the filler
head of the bagger needs to be adjusted, then more flex hose will be required between the feed
device and the head. The flexibility between valve/feeder and scale is necessary to minimize
vibration to scale during the filling cycle, which can be detrimental to bag weight accuracy.
Note: Be sure the flex connector hose is long enough so you do not influence
the scales.
