Replacement Parts And Accessories - Adam Equipment CFC Series Service Manual

Connect the load cell +E and -E to a power supply, typically 10 volts.
Never use more than 12 volts as it may damage the load cell.
Measure the voltage between +S and -S.
With no load the voltage should be approximate 0mv ±3mv.
With a mass on the load cell the output voltage should increase. The
amount it increases will be dependent upon the sensitivity of the load
cell, capacity of the load cell, the excitation voltage and the amount of
mass placed on the load cell. Most load cells have a sensitivity of either
2mv/V or 3mv/V.
The expected change to the output is:
Vout = (2mv/V) * Vext * Mass
capacity of load cell
For example a 2mv/V load cell of 30Kg capacity with 20Kg placed on it.
Vext is 5 volts would give a output of approximately:
Vout = (2mv/V) * Vext * Mass
capacity of load cell
If the load cell has been damaged the no load voltage will likely be
greater than 3mv or the loaded voltage will be grossly different from the
expected value. Remember the loaded voltage will be offset by the
amount of zero load voltage measured.
The load cell can be tested while it is connected to the A/D converter
circuit board, using the scale power supply for excitation voltage.
