Adjust pulleys to ensure that the conveyor belt tracks straight and centrally from the head to the tail pulley. To limit the weight and dimensions of the idler on the scale, Siemens Milltronics provides an idler built to definite specifications as part of the scale. If a substitute or a replacement is required, please contact Siemens.
Avoid shock from blows of a hammer when trying to position the scale during installation. • Do not lift the MLC by its idler. • Do not lift the MLC by the idler mounting brackets. Page 4 Milltronics MLC Belt Scale – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 7ML19985FF01...
Level the static beam and tighten the bolts sufficiently to keep the static beam in place until final adjustment. Off-center or off-square installation can result in poor belt tracking and CAUTION: scale inaccuracy. 7ML19985FF01 Milltronics MLC Belt Scale – INSTRUCTION MANUAL Page 5...
