General This instruction manual contains information on the installation and maintenance of
your Model 10-101R Belt Scale.

The Model 10-101R Belt Scale is available with a wide range of useful analog and
digital outputs for applications in a variety of process operations.

Description The Model 10-101R Belt Conveyor Scale consists of one or two completely
assembled scale modules.

• ModeI10-101R-1 single scale module is for conveyors having belt widths of

36" or less. A support beam between the conveyor stringers is required for
mounting the scale module in the center of the conveyor. The support beam
can be fabricated from structural tubing, steel channel or other structural
configurations in the field at the time of installation. A C5 steel channel
mounting bracket is available as an option from Thermo Scientific (see
Figure 1-1).

• ModeI10-101R-2 is for conveyors with belt widths up to 60". The scale

consists of two identical modules with right and left hand cast steel mounting
brackets. The brackets mount directly to the conveyor stringers. No support
beam between the conveyor stringers is required (see Figure 1-2).

Both scales require two approach and two retreat idlers to be aligned along with the
weight idler to provide the necessary "weighing platform" in order to achieve accurate
weighing results.

General All Thermo Scientific Belt Conveyor Scale Systems, regardless of their applications,
are manufactured to the same high degree of accuracy and reliability. However, it is
the application and installation of these systems that determine the overall system
operating capabilities and accuracy that can be realized.

Scale Location In applying belt conveyor scales one must always consider external influences
originating from the material handling system and belt conveyor. Regardless of stated
Criteria accuracies, these two factors will determine the overall long-term and short-term
accuracy you may expect. The following guidelines should be adhered to in order to
optimize belt scale performance and weighing accuracy.

Tension In all installations, the belt scale should be installed in an area where belt tension
and tension variations are minimal. For this reason, the belt scale should be
installed near the tail section of the conveyor, but far enough forward so as not to
be influenced by infeed skirt boards.

Chapter 2 Installation

Figure 2-1. Installation Area

Uniform Belt Although in most applications the scale system is capable of operating accurately
over a 4 to 1 range, it is desirable that the belt loading be as uniform as possible.
Loading
To minimize surges or feed variations, hoppers, if possible, should be equipped
with depth limiting gate.

REC-4031 Rev D
 Chapter 2 Installation

Material Slippage The belt scale system processes belt loading and belt travel to arrive at an
accurate weight. Product speed must equal belt speed at the scale. For this
reason, the conveyor speed and slope should not exceed that at which material
slippage occurs.

Figure 2-3. Conveyor Speed and Slope Illustration

Convex Curves Convex curves are permissible at a distance of 20 feet or a minimum of five idler
spaces beyond the scale area idlers.

Figure 2-4. Convex Curve Illustration

Thermo Scientific Model 10-101R Belt Scale 2-3

REC-4031 Rev. D
Chapter 2 Installation

Concave Curves If there is a concave curve in the conveyor before or after scale, the scale should
be installed so that the belt is in contact with all the idler rollers at all times for at
least 20 ft (6 m) or 5 idler spaces, whichever is greater, before and after the scale.
A concave curve should start no closer than 40 ft (12 m) from the scale to the
tangent point of the curve.

Figure 2-5. Concave Curve Illustration

Trippers In any installation where weighing accuracy is important, the scale system should
not be applied to a conveyor that has a movable tripper. If the scale must be
installed on a conveyor with a tripper, then the same rules apply as for an
installation in a concave conveyor. The minimum distances outlined in the above
paragraph must be adhered to with the tripper in its fully retracted position.

Figure 2-6. Tripper Location Illustration

REC-4031 Rev D
 Chapter 2 Installation

Conveyor In the design of the scale system, several deflections are taken into consideration.
These are the deflection of the load cell, scale module 10-101 R, and the supporting
Design conveyor structure. It is of utmost importance that these deflections not be excessive.
No conveyor expansion joints should be located in the scale area.

Vibration and The entire conveyor frame should be isolated from bins, feeders, crushers, and
other mechanical equipment. This is to prevent bin loading from causing conveyor
Deflections
deflections and to protect the weighing equipment from vibrations and shocks
imposed by mechanical equipment.

Cable Conveyors Conveyors commonly known as "cable" or "rope" conveyors are not suitable for
electro-mechanical belt conveyor scale weighing unless a rigid conveyor section
long enough to support the scale and scale service idlers is added.

Figure 2-7. Cable or Rope Conveyor Illustration

Belt Tracking One problem in attaining optimum belt scale accuracy is the effect of belt tracking
from an empty to a fully loaded condition. To enhance belt tracking, the
construction of the belting should have the necessary flexibility to assure contact
with all scale area idler rolls when the belt is running empty. In addition, this also
assures that the conveyed material is being supported by the weigh idler rather
than by the carcass of the conveyor belting.

Figure 2-8. Belt Tracking Illustration

Belt Scale Idlers in the weighing area (minimum +2 to -2 idlers and on scale) should be round,
uniform and of same make, troughing angle and rating.
Area Idlers

Idler Type The selection of the idlers used within the scale area is important. This pertains
not only to the idler type, but the idler construction itself. Since idler alignment
plays an important role in the accuracy of a belt conveyor scale, it is important that
all idlers be manufactured as nearly alike as possible. It is also important that
certain types be avoided, such as "V" types and rope or cable types.

Figure 2-9. Idler Types

Training Idlers It is important that the belt tracks centrally from no load to full load conditions.
Training idlers are normally accepted if located at least eight idler spaces either
side of the scale-mounted idlers.

Idler Alignment The scale mounted idlers and a minimum of two idlers to either side should be
dimensionally aligned. Good idler alignment throughout the entire conveyor is
important to assure adequate and true belt tracking under all load conditions.

Scale Module
Installation

Location Select the scale location by following Scale Location Criteria. A partial listing of the
required guidelines follows:

1. Install the scale system on a rigid section of the conveyor.

2. The scale should not be located closer than 20 feet from feeders, hoppers, and
skirt boards.

3. The scale must not be placed in concave or convex curves.

4. The scale should not be installed where conveyor speed and slope causes
material slippage to occur.

5. Locate the scale where it has maximum protection from the elements.

6. The scale conveyor should not be attached to or have vibrating devices installed
on it.

Site Preparation After determination of scale location in the conveyor, proceed with site preparation
as follows:

1. All scale area idlers must be the same make, style, and model, and should be
in free-rolling and otherwise good mechanical condition.

2. Locate the exact center of the carry roll on all idlers from minus 2 to plus 2.
Permanently scribe or punch this center position on each carry roll. In
addition, perform the same procedure on the minus and plus 2 troughing rolls.

3. Select one idler for the weigh idler and modify if necessary. Refer to weigh
idler modification drawing, Figure 2-10.

4. For ease in equipment installation and alignment, elevate or remove the

conveyor belting from the belt scale area. Belt clearance will be needed from
at least the minus 3 to plus 3 idler.

to and on either side of the weigh idler. The idlers are identified as plus (+) or minus (-)
Alignment
on the installation drawings. The weigh idler and fixed idlers have to be considered a
part of the scale.

1. Tie a high quality 30 round test monofilament line or equivalent to the base of
the plus 3 idler. Run this alignment wire across the center mark on the plus 2
carry roll through the scale area and across the center mark on the minus 2
carry roll. Attach a 30 pound weight to the end of the wire to maintain constant
tension.

2. Check for clearance between the line and the carry roll of the weigh idler. If
the wire is touching, additional shimming in 1/16 (.0625) inch increments
should be inserted under the plus 2 and minus idlers.

3. Prior to proceeding, a check of the foregoing steps should be reviewed.

a. Plus 2 and minus 2 idler are dimensionally aligned.
b. The scale module and weigh idler are dimensionally aligned to the
plus 2 and minus 2 idler.

4. Install additional alignment lines across the plus 2 and minus 2 troughing or
wing rolls. Reference points for alignment wires were established in Step 2 of

section on Mechanical Installation – Two Scale Modules.

5. Shim and dimensionally align the plus 1 and minus 1 idlers one at a time. The
measurement between each idler and the weigh idler must be accurate to
within 1/32 (.031) inch. All idlers must be shimmed to within ±1/32 (.031) inch
of the alignment lines.

6. Shim the weigh idler to within 1/32 (.031) inch of the alignment lines.

NOTE: A combination of shimming and movement of the idler may be

necessary to bring the troughing and wing rolls up to the wires.

EXAMPLE: Center roll elevation - OK

Left wing roll elevation - too high
Right wing roll elevation - too low

This indicates one of two conditions:

a. The idler is tipped down to the right. (Remedy: Add shims to the right end of
the idler and remove shims from the left end.)
b. The idler is located too far to the right of the conveyor center. (Remedy: Shift
idler to the left.)

Load Cell The load cell cable is encased in a sealtight flex conduit for protection of the load cell
cable. The load cell cable length should not be altered. Refer to Figure 2-14 below for
Wiring load cell connections.

 Chapter 3 Maintenance

General The 10-101 R Belt Scale may normally be expected to operate satisfactorily and hold
its calibration for weeks with a minimum of maintenance. However, on a new
installation, some calibration shifts may be expected due to changes in measuring
components, conveyor belt, or idlers.

Service and The maintenance information in this manual is adequate to meet your service needs.
However, if you run into problems requiring technical assistance, please call 800-
Repair 445-3503.

Thermo Scientific has a repair center located at our plant in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Please contact our Repair Representative at 800-445-3503 for assistance.

Please have available your machine model and serial number as this will expedite
your service request.

When returning parts for repair, please use a Return Material Authorization form which
can be requested at 800-445-3503.

Frequent Each installation should be checked frequently to determine when calibration is

required. It is recommended that zero be checked every other day and that calibration
Checkpoints be checked every week for several months after installation. Observe the results and
lengthen the period between calibration checks, depending upon the accuracy
desired.

1. Cleaning
Keep scale area clean of rocks, dust, and material build-up.

2. Greasing
The weigh idlers should be greased once or twice yearly. Overloading the
weigh idlers with grease may change the tare weight and place the scale out

Thermo Scientific Model 10-101R Belt Scale 3-1

REC-4031 Rev D
Chapter 3 Maintenance

of calibration.
Zero calibration is necessary after greasing.

3. Belt Training
The belt must be trained to run true to the centerline of the idlers in the area
of the scale while running empty, as well as underloaded conditions. Where
this cannot be accomplished due to off-center loading, the loading should be
modified. Where a belt does not train while empty but does train while loaded,
it will be necessary to train the belt over the scale area at least during the
calibration checks.

4. Belt Tension
It is important that conveyor conditions remain constant at all times.
Conveyors which do not have a constant tension device will require
calibration whenever the belt tension changes and the take-up is readjusted.

5. Belt Loading
Extreme loading conditions which cause flow rate of material to be above 125
percent of the instrument range must be avoided. Any load capacity above his
amount cannot be measured. Belt loading should be adjusted to stay within
the instrument range.

Belt loading equal to 80 percent of range is recommended.

Conversely, very low flow rates, with respect to full scale range, may produce
low accuracy. Where extreme high or low flow rates, as described above,
persist, the scale range should be changed.

6. Material Sticking to the Belt

Material may form a film on the belt which is carried continually around the
belt and is never discharged. This condition is often true when handling wet,
fine material.

Belt scrapers may correct this condition.

If the film cannot be removed, the zero will have to be adjusted. Any change
in the build-up of the film adhering to the belt will require further adjustment.

7. Skirtboards and Covers

Skirtboards should never be placed closer to the weigh idlers than the +3 or -
3 idler. If skirts or covers are absolutely necessary in the weighing area, they
must not place any external forces on the scale. Even though the skirts are
clear of the belt under "no load" conditions, material will jam or slide between
the boards and the belt when the conveyor is operating. Errors of several
percent must be expected where such conditions exist.

Trouble- If your belt scale fails to operate correctly during or after performing set up and
calibration it is suggested to perform the procedure again and if the problem persists
shooting follow the troubleshooting procedures below.

Calibration Shifts Frequent calibration shifts should be isolated to zero shifts or span shifts.

Zero Calibration Zero shifts are normally associated with the conveying system. When a zero shift
occurs, the span will shift by a like number of TPH, this then appears as a span
Shifts shift. Common causes of zero shifts:

1. Material build-up on the weigh idler.

2. Rocks lodged in the scale module or weigh idler.
3. Conveyor belt tracking.
4. Non-uniform conveyor belting.
5. Conveyor belt belting stretch due to material temperature variations.
6. Trouble in the electronic measuring components.
7. Severely overloaded load cell.

Span Calibration Span shifts are normally associated with the electronic measuring of components of
the system, with one exception, which is conveyor belt tension. A span shift is present
Shifts
if both points change by the same percentage of TPH. Common causes of span shifts:

1. Change is conveyor belting tension.

2. Speed sensor roll build-up and/or slipping.
3. Conveyor scale alignment.
4. Severely overloaded load cell.
5. Trouble in electronic measuring components.

Field Wiring 1. Check for proper interconnection between components of the system. All
wiring must be as specified on the Field Wiring drawing.
2. Check all wiring and connections for continuity, shorts, and grounds using an
ohmmeter.

CAUTION: Do not use a meggar for checking field wiring.

3. Loose connections, poor solder joints, shorted or broken wires and

unspecified grounds in the wiring will cause erratic readings and shifts in
weight readings.
4. Check that grounding of all cable shields is made at only the locations as
specified on the Field Wiring drawing.
