2.6.1.6 Idler Spacing Scale Area – LD
Measure the distances between the centerlines of all idlers from the plus 1 (+1)
to the minus 1 (-1) idler on both sides of the conveyor (left and right). Add all
measurements together and divide by the number of measurements to determine
the average distance.
Note: If the distances measured are not all equal within 0.032 (1/32”), the scale
is not properly installed. Refer to the belt scale installation manual provided
(Idler Spacing)
2.6.1.7 Conveyor’s Angle of Incline
As indicated in Figure 2-17, measure the conveyor’s angle of incline to the
nearest 0.1 degrees. Record the degree of angle below.

2.6.1.8 Load Cell Capacity
From the belt scale data sheet located in the front of this manual, determine the
load cell size in pounds. Record the weight below.
pounds (Load Cell Capacity)
2.6.1.9 Load Cell Sensitivity
From the load cell nameplate, determine the load cell sensitivity in mV/V.
Record the sensitivity below.
mV/V (Load Cell Sensitivity)
2.6.1.10 Load Cell Resistance
Measure the signal (output) resistance of each load cell with a digital VOM.
Record the resistance below.
(Load Cell Resistance)
2.6.1.11 Conveyor Belt Length
Using a long tape measure, measure the length of one complete belt revolution.
Measure to the nearest 0.1 foot. Record the length below.
