▲▲ 3.1. Installation of Driver Cabin’s Control

Box and Monitor
It’s recommend that you install the control box to the
proper left side of driver’s cabin. (The users can deal with the
Wind Speed Sensor Slewing sensor
installation according to the specific circumstance.)

▲▲ 3.2. Installation of Weighing Sensor Shaft

First way of installation: Take the original weighing
wheel shaft down; replace it with the shear force weighing
sensor shaft according to the original assembling structure.
Try to avoid strong force striking. It’s better to use a wooden
Height、Amplitude Sensor hammer. During assembling, attention shall be paid to prevent
the lead-out cable or cable joint at the ends of the shear shaft
from impacting or punchy bending in case of damage. After
installation of shear force weighing sensor shaft, lay the signal
cable and connect it to the controller the 4 cored port and
tighten the screws.

Function can be selected according to the requirement.
