Section 1 ­ Packaging
Remove the cardboard and shrink wrap from the pallet (if used) and safely lift each item on the pallet. Items on the pallet may be secured using metal or plastic strapping. Use caution, as the strapping may be under tension and can cause injury when cut. If packed in a crate, remove lid and at least one long side and one short side. Remove all small items and store in a safe, dry place. Safely lift each item one at a time from the crate. If the items received will not be installed right away, ensure that the pallets or crates are stored in a dry space as they may contain sensitive electronics that are susceptible to damage until properly installed. An envelope containing important information such as calibration certificates, packing slips, pre- shipment checklist, etc., will be located either in, or attached to the surface of, the shipment. Remove the envelope and store in a safe place. Using the provided pre-shipment checklist, ensure all marked items are accounted for. In the event of a missing item, contact your sales representative immediately to report it and remediate the issues.

Section 2 – Installation
This section is intended to outline the standard installation of a system and does not cover detailed specifics on the termination of cables, which is normally performed by Ludlum Measurements, Inc. (LMI) field service technicians. The following drawings are provided to facilitate the process in preparing your site for installation. Block Diagrams 517×638, 517x638A, 517×646, 517x646A, 517x646B, 517x646C Model 4530-4200 & 4530-7000: 517×550, 517x550A, 517x550B, 517x550C, 517x550D Model 4530-6300 & 4530-10500: 517×641, 517x641A, 517x641B, 517x641C Model 4530-8400 & 4530-14000 (Horizontal): 517×655, 517x655A, 517x655B, 517x655C Model 4530-8400 & 4530-14000 (Vertical): 517×562, 517x562A, 517x562B, 517x562C
Page 7 of 50

System Buffer Zone
For best operation, locate the stands in an area where a 3 m (10 ft) buffer zone can be maintained around the detectors. Typically, the stands are mounted about 3 m (10 ft) before the weigh scale and never between the start and end of the scale. It is important that vehicles stay out of this buffer zone except when they are moving slowly between the detectors. Placing a stop sign at the entrance to this buffer zone is highly recommended. See Drawings listed below for an aerial view showing the buffer zone.
Model 4530-4200 & 4530-7000: 517x550B
Model 4530-6300 & 4530-10500: 517x641B
Model 4530-8400 & 4530-14000 (Horizontal): 517x655B
Model 4530-8400 & 4530-14000 (Vertical): 517x550B
Failure to correctly locate the system or failure to enforce the buffer zone may result in more frequent false alarms. These false alarms are caused by the system having an incorrect measurement of the true background radiation level before the system is triggered into check mode.
Location of Detector 1
Detector 1 should go on the side with the two conduits coming out of the pad. See figure below for layout example. Systems with three or more detectors will follow the same rule. To facilitate ease of installation, it is recommended that detector 1 be on the side nearest to the location of the monitoring office where the control box will be located.

Anchoring the Stands
Anchor Bolts and Pattern For anchor bolt specifications, see Drawing 511 x 836. Due to the close tolerances of the anchor bolt holes, the anchor bolts must be placed according to the dimensions specified on the Anchor Bolt Template drawings. Model 4530-4200 & 4530-7000: 517×678, 511×461 Model 4530-6300 & 4530-10500: 511×449 Model 4530-8400 & 4530-14000 (Horizontal): 384×882 Model 4530-8400 & 4530-14000 (Vertical): 511×461 The anchor bolts should protrude from the concrete from 10 to 12.7 cm (4 to 5 in.).
Note: LMI recommends the use of an anchor bolt template to ensure the anchor bolts are placed in the exact locations for your system. These are available to purchase, including anchor bolt hardware kits, to facilitate installation.
If a template is used, the notch on the template should be placed toward the center of the lane. The anchor bolt holes are a tight tolerance fit for the ¾-inch anchor bolt; therefore, care must be taken when the anchor bolts are placed in the concrete. Double-nut the anchor bolt to the template before the concrete cures to ensure proper anchor-bolt alignment.
Page 9 of 50

Leveling the Stands
Once the concrete has cured and all the bolts are straight, the mounting points will need to be leveled. Shims may be used, but the proper method of using leveling nuts is highly recommended as described below. Run a set of leveling nuts on the bolts as low as allowable (one nut per bolt). If the templates were purchased, place the flat template through the bolts onto the leveling nuts. Start leveling from the highest nut, using a 0.61 m (2 ft) (or larger) level in the pattern as demonstrated in the below figures. The stands should be level and plumb within 0.17 cm (1/16 of an inch) over a 0.61 m (2 ft) distance.
Page 10 of 50

Lifting the Stands
Note: LMI recommends the detector assemblies be placed and secured into the stands prior to lifting the stand into place. If stands were purchased with your system, the detector assemblies will come pre-assembled with the stands. This can be done by placing the stand on ground level and using lifting straps to lower the detector assembly into the stand and securing using the provided hardware.
All stands purchased with your system should include removable lifting eyebolts and hardware. Use a lifting harness rated for at least 2268 kg (5000 lb). During lifting, the unit will lean towards the back. This will allow you to engage two bolts first, and then the rest will align as the stand is lowered. Before removing the lift harness, ensure the stands are securely fastened to prevent injury or damage. Before removing the lift harness (and lifting lugs), the four stand mounting nuts will need to be in place. Systems with double-stacked detectors ensure the lower stand is securely fastened before placing the upper stand. Some systems use legs as risers to mount the stands at the required height. Ensure the legs are securely fastened before lifting and placing the stand into place.
Page 11 of 50

Squaring the Stands
After the lower stands have been lifted and secured into place, it is crucial that they are square with each other. Failure to do so will result in sensor alignment issues that cannot be resolved with the included sensor mounting brackets. The opposing front outside corners of the stands should be within 1.27 cm (1/2 of an inch) of each other on the diagonal reading. Be sure to take the readings at the base of each set of stands. See the two figures below for an example.
Page 12 of 50

Mounting the Control Box
The control box is required to be mounted indoors since it is not weathertight. It is typically mounted inside the scale house or in close proximity to the scale operator. Four each #8 screws should be used to mount the unit to the wall securely. A paper template has been provided to facilitate the installation. See Drawing 517×553 for mounting hole locations.
The Supervisor Computer is embedded in the control box. It allows the printing of alarms, adjusting of set points, monitoring of multiple systems at one time, and recording data seen from the systems for further analysis.
Caution:
Caution must be used when closing the electronics enclosures. Excessive force could damage the electronic components.
Mounting the Remote
Four holes have been provided to ensure proper mounting of the remote to the wall. Sound judgment must be used to provide a secure platform for the depression of the reset button. Refer to Drawing 517×637 (Model 4530 Remote Assembly).
The remote box comes ready to be mounted immediately above the control box with an offset conduit nipple used to connect them. Refer to Drawing 517x637A. Additional Cat5e cable can be used to put the remote in any location desired. Refer to Drawing 517x637B. Locations of the remote box will be determined by the Location Supervisor (or equivalent) at each location.
If mounting the remote separate from the control box, use the same Cat5e cable provided with the system and route cabling from the control box to wherever the remote display is being mounted. Conduit is not required, but could be requested by the Location Supervisor.
Cables outside of conduit will be secured every 0.30 m (1 ft) to prevent entanglement and possible damage to the cable. The cable will be run into the remote box leaving a 0.61 cm (2 ft) tail past the inside of the box.
Wiring and Conduit
AC Power Requirements LMI recommends a dedicated 15 Amp circuit. LMI also recommends an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) surge suppressor between the dedicated breaker and the control box.
Page 13 of 50

This protects the system from improper shutdowns and allows for continued operation during power outages. AC power should be delivered to the control box in accordance with code requirements, which supersede these instructions. Such requirements, for example, may include a disconnect device in clear sight of the control box. Over Pull for Termination All cables must be pulled, leaving a 0.61 m (24 in.) tail past the end of the conduit or cord grip. Labeling must be used on both ends of the cable to clearly identify each cable. This can be done using any method, such as color coding, letters, numbers, etc. Control Box, Detector, and Remote Wiring Both ends of the Cat5e cable will be terminated using the pin layout below. Although the Model 4530 uses Cat5e cable for its connections, it is not standard LAN; and therefore, you should terminate using standard T-568A or T-568B wiring scheme. Pin 1 – Green/White Pin 2 ­ Green Pin 3 – Orange/White Pin 4 ­ Orange Pin 5 – Blue/White Pin 6 ­ Blue Pin 7 – Brown/White Pin 8 – Brown
