To test the load cells of the SellEton Scales SL-7515 for failure, follow these steps:
1. Use a multimeter set to 200k ohms. 2. Disconnect the load cells. 3. Identify the wires: typically, black and red are paired, and green is separate. 4. Measure resistance: - Connect the black and red wires to the multimeter. - Connect the green wire separately. - The resistance values should be consistent across all load cells (e.g., 1.9 ohms). 5. Compare readings: - If one load cell shows a significantly different value or no reading, it may be faulty.
If a bad load cell is identified, replace it and recalibrate the scale.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS For safe operation of the weighing indicator, please follow these instructions: ● Calibration inspection and maintenance of the indicator are prohibited by non-pro- fessional staff ● Please ensure that the indicator rests on a stable surface ● The indicator is a piece of static sensitive equipment; Please cut off power during electrical connections ●...
FEATURES ● Smooth indicator shape with steady performance PCB board, is suitable for industrial or commercial use ● Multiple weighing units: (lb/oz/kg) ● Gross/Tare/Zero ● Low power design, longer battery usage time ● Hold function, locks the weight ● Idle mode and automatic power off function ●...
DISPLAY AND KEY DESCRIPTION Weighing Mode Parameter Setting ON/OFF Powers the Indicator On or Off if held for 2 seconds Exit HOLD 1. Peak hold - Grabs the highest weight 2. Data hold - Holds the current weight value Confirm 3.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Powering On or Off ● Press ON/OFF key for 1 second to power on. Machine will self inspect and count from 1 - 9 before entering weighing mode and displaying 0 ● Press ON/OFF key for 1 second to power off ●...

Hold There are five different hold functions, you can choose the best option for you and set it the parameter settings 1. Peak Hold: Grabs the highest weight (for materials testing, ie. tension and pulling force) ● Press the HOLD key then add weight to the scale ●...
CALIBRATION To Enter Calibration Settings ● Turn indicator off. Then press and hold the HOLD and UNIT key simultaneously while the indicator is turning on (Do this while indicator is counting down) ● The display will show [ kg], meaning the unit is kg ●...

HELPFUL DEFINITIONS Division: The amount of increments a scale offers. How accurate the scale can be Capacity: the maximum amount the scale can contain Zero Range: % of the max capacity that the scale is allowed to zero, anything above this percentage number will be tared.
CONNECTORS Connecting load cells to the indicator ● The indicator can connect with 4 load cells of 350Ω at most. Use the quick disconnect connector Quick Disconnect DB9 Connection (9 pin Serial Connector) The DB9 9 pin serial connector is used for different purposes depending on the indicator model ●...
COMMUNICATION MODES Continuously send mode: the indicator continuously sends the data to the RS232 port Manually send mode: Press UNIT for 1 second to send the current data to the RS232 port Command Send Mode: From a computer send ASCII R character (hexadecimal 52) to the indicators RS232 port and the indicator will respond with the current data Communication Format is done using ASCII as shown below: CR LF...
