INTRODUCTION The CFW series of scales are general purpose weighing scales. Refer to the Operators Manuals for details of the general operation. This manual will cover details of calibration and troubleshooting. If you have a problem with the scales that is not directly addressed by this manual then contact your dealer or Adam Equipment for more assistance.

Most load cells used in scales are not as simple as this example. They have additional resistance elements added to compensate for temperature variations and to set the outputs to correct voltages. The circuit of a typical load cell is shown below. @Adam Equipment Company 2007...

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 @Adam Equipment Company 2007...
