    At zero load, all strain gauges are unstressed. Weight placed on the Platform bends the beam, causing two gauges to stretch and two to compress in opposition, changing the electrical resistance of the circuit. Ohaus Corporation www.ohaus.com Defender™ H-Q-W Series Service Manual...

    0.02mV per kg change in the load, that is, 10mV/500=0.02mV per kg. At a load of 250kg the signal voltage would thus increase by 5mV from the value measured at no load. Defender™ H-Q-W Series Service Manual Ohaus Corporation www.ohaus.com...

    3. Perform an Output Voltage Test: Measure the no load, 50% load and full load output. The reading should meet the Load Cell specifications. (See Chapter 4.) The Load Cell output should be very close to linear over its capacity range. – Defender™ H-Q-W Series Service Manual Ohaus Corporation www.ohaus.com...

    The following tests require a Digital Multimeter, an Indicator and hand tools. The Digital DC Voltmeter should have a reading range from 1 mV to 50 V full-scale. It should be capable of reading differences of one micro-volt per increment. The indicator can be either the Ohaus Defender 5000, or an equivalent commercial indicator.
