Load Cell Orientation & Cable Direction for Essae TWS
⚙️ Hardware Compatibility: Essae TWS Load Cell Kits[cite: 11].
When installing load cells under a massive tank, the orientation of the load cell is critical. Tanks expand and contract with temperature changes. If the load cells are pointed in the wrong direction, this thermal expansion will bind the load cells and cause severe weighing errors.
Mounting Directions:
1. Bottom Mounted Tanks (Circular): The load cell cables must point tangentially (in a circular rotation pattern) around the center of the tank, rather than all pointing directly at the center[cite: 11].
2. Side and Mezzanine Floor Mounted Tanks: Align the load cell cables parallel to the mounting brackets as specified in the tank's architectural drawing[cite: 11].
3. Cable Clamping: Once mounted, ensure the load cell cables are secured using the provided cable clamps (available in two position options depending on your site conditions)[cite: 11].
