Recommendations
• It is recommended to mount the load cells on the bottom frame to ensure a stable system.
• Shielded load cell cables will be damaged if exposed to sharp bends. Therefore, if bended, cables should have a minimum bending radius of 60 mm.
• It is not allowed to bend load cell cables repeatedly, so mount cables on non-moving parts, like the bed frame.
• Load cell cables should not exceed a length of 2700 mm.
• In Europe weight systems are subject to important legal restrictions. The LINAK Weighing System system will be approved in accordance with EN45501.
The used load cells must be OIML approved as well (this is not included in the LINAK approval).
• Do not mount the QLCI2 directly on actuators.
• Load cell cables are not to be mated more than 40 times.
Calibration and use
• When calibrating, the application and components should be allowed to acclimate to ensure that they have the same temperature as the surrounding
environment.
• For optimal performance the QLCI2 should be calibrated with a load similar to the in-use weight. For instance an application for lighter loads would
benefit from having the bed calibrated with a lighter calibration load than an application for heavy use.
• The application will be most precise when calibrated with a load slightly above the in-use weight.
• Calibrate the application on a stable base.
• While performing a zero or auto-compensation and the handheld control is not placed on the application, the weight of the attendant control is not
a part of the total weight. It leads to an incorrect measurement on the scale display, when the handheld control is placed on the application.
• When using auto-compensation or zeroing, do not touch the application or exert other external impacts on the application as this can result in
incorrect measurements.
• Be aware that while the handheld control is not placed on the application and if its cable is pulled, it can lead to incorrect measurement on the
scale display.
• When using the scale system, it is recommended to also have the bed in horizontal position.
Mounting of cables and cable lock:
The QLCI2 have a uniquely designed cable lid. The lid also works as an integrated cable lock when closed.
1. Mount load cell cable plugs in QLCI2
2. Calibrate the system
3. Mount blind plug in calibration port
4. Close lid until lock snaps into place
5. Place calibration void label
To allow free access to the cables, the lid has a rest position when completely opened.
It is possible to remove the lid by lifting it a few degrees and pulling it away from the housing under tight mounting conditions.

Only 1 label is required. The
label can be placed anywhere
along the opening of the lid
on the QLCI2 box.
