2.2 LSI GS Wireless Load Cell Installation
1. To begin the LSI GS wireless load cell installation install load cell bushings as supplied by LSI. Assembly of the load cell and adapter plates must be configured to the pin size required by the specific dead end or hook to which it is to be attached. In all cases, the bushings supplied by LSI must be used where possible to adapt the holes in the load cell to the pins. Bushings must be secured with the two allen screws provided, one on each side of the load cell.
2. As required, place a washer between adapter plate and pin head or nut on each end of the pin that links the adapter plates to the load cell. Additional washers should be added equally to each end of the pin as required to inhibit excessive lateral movement of load cell (maximum 1/8” total movement) and adapter plates along the pin.
3. If the dead end or hook to be connected to the adapter plates requires a larger opening, washers may be placed between the load cell and the adapter plates equally on both sides of the load cell.
4. In all cases the washers must be placed symmetrically such that the load cell is centered on the pins to avoid uneven loading
5. Secure the pins with the nuts and cotter pins provided.
6. A qualified (lift supervisor or crane inspector) person must verify every lift assembly before first use and periodically thereafter (one to twelve months), including before any new, difficult or otherwise different lift.
