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. Ohaus Corporation www.ohaus.com Defender™ Series Bases Service Manual...
CHAPTER 3 MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES Preventive Maintenance Ohaus bases should be carefully handled, stored in a clean, dry area, and cleaned periodically. Follow these precautionary steps: – When a base has had chemicals or liquids spilled on it, all exterior surfaces should be cleaned as soon as possible with warm water on a damp cloth.

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 3000 series, or an equivalent commercial indicator.
Indicator to read the load in the units required, for example, kilograms or grams. (Consult the Indicator instruction manual for calibration procedures.) For calibration mass weights, see Table 1-1, in Chapter 1. 3. Check that the Indicator is reading correctly over a range of values. Ohaus Corporation www.ohaus.com Defender™ Series Bases Service Manual...
1. Using a voltmeter, measure and record the excitation voltage supplied by the Indicator. Most Ohaus indicators supply 5 volts dc for the excitation voltage. 2. Using an mV meter, measure and record the signal voltage with no load on the base.
