7.1.1 Note on Load Cell Cable connection:
Step 3 is usually factory performed and the cable for the Load Cell should be left connected,
also when the equipment is not in use, and should only be disconnected in case of servicing or
the like.
7.1.2 Note on Placing the Deflectors
Before placing the Deflectors, the holders should be at (or at least close to) the desired
positions (i.e. distances from the loading centre), and the loading plate and the raise/lower bar
should be lowered close to, but not touching the ground. Pass a deflector to a holder from
above, so that the cable passes up between the two rails of the raise/lower bar. Tie the cable
along one of the bar beams using the provided cable ties. The clamping magnet of a deflector
and the matching bottom plate of the holder should be clean before attaching the deflector.
After attachment, hold the holder with one hand while pushing down AND from side to side
the deflector to remove residual dirt and to feel if the clamping is good.
Please note that a deflector MAY jump off a holder, if a bump in the road is passed at high
speed. Therefore, tie the deflector cable(s) to the bar in such a way that IF a deflector should
jump off, it will not be able to reach the road surface! (Tie while the bar is clear of the ground,
so that the deflectors are in their lowest position in respect to the bar, but make sure that no
cable will be strained when the bar is lowered again).
MAKE SURE that no cable(s) is/are strained at ANY level of the bar!
7.1.3 Important Notice!!!
It is VERY important that the Deflectors are properly connected, as the individual
calibration data of each deflector have been programmed into the Compact15 System
Controller so that a specific deflector S/N is allocated to a specific channel No., and
therefore the connections MUST be performed in accordance herewith.
If you have changed round and/or exchanged any of the deflectors, then MAKE
SURE that the listing in the “Deflectors” window in the Field Program is in exact
accordance with the order of the actual deflector connections! See also 4.2.5,
“Deflectors”.
In ANY case of doubt, perform a RELATIVE DEFLECTOR CALIBRATION
procedure as outlined in the supplied FwdCal30 package.
