expressed in mV with four decimals.
Load cell resistance measurement (use a digital multimeter):
- Disconnect the load cells from the instrument and check that there is no moisture in the cell
junction box caused by condensation or water infiltration. If so, drain the system or replace it if
necessary.
- The value between the positive signal wire and the negative signal wire must be equal or similar
to the one indicated in the load cell data sheet (output resistance).
- The value between the positive excitation wire and the negative excitation wire must be equal or
similar to the one indicated in the load cell data sheet (input resistance).
- The insulation value between the shield and any other cell wire and between any other cell wire
and the body of the load cell must be higher than 20 Mohm.
Load cell voltage measurement (use a digital multimeter):
- Take out the load cell to be tested from underneath the container, or alternatively, lift the
container support.
- Make sure that the excitation of two wires of the load cell connected to the instrument (or
amplifier) is 5 VDC ±3%.
- Measure the response signal between the positive and the negative signal wires by directly
connecting them to the tester, and make sure that it is comprised between 0 and ±0.5 mV.
- Apply load to the cell and make sure that there is a signal increment.
