GENERAL PURPOSE LOW PROFILE LOAD CELL OPERATION MANUAL 3.2 Standard Components NOTE: The use of the tension base greatly increases the performance of the low profile load cell. The following figure describes the standard components of the general purpose low profile load cells. 4.0 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION Load Cell The following mechanical installation instructions should be...
GENERAL PURPOSE LOW PROFILE LOAD CELL OPERATION MANUAL 5.2 Cable & Grounding Considerations Proper grounding and shielding is required to prevent electrical noise in strain gage load cell measuring systems. The cable must be shielded twisted pairs with a drain wire. Cable shields must be grounded only at one end, for example, on the instrument or control system ground.
GENERAL PURPOSE LOW PROFILE LOAD CELL OPERATION MANUAL 6.1.1 Measured Output 7.0 MOMENT COMPENSATION The applied load starting at zero is measured in five When an eccentric axial load is increments to full scale. Output (mV/V) is measured at each applied to a load cell that is not Primary increment.
GENERAL PURPOSE LOW PROFILE LOAD CELL OPERATION MANUAL are not allowed to migrate into devices that are not Check bridge balance. hermetically sealed. Such devices should only be wiped with a damp cloth, and never be submerged or have liquids poured 10.
GENERAL PURPOSE LOW PROFILE LOAD CELL OPERATION MANUAL Standard calibration certificates list five force points ascending and one point descending in both tension and compression. Additional data points are available at extra cost upon request. Certificate information includes tabulated measurement variable data zero balance, bridge input/output resistance, computer nonlinearity and hysteresis, static error band (SEB) calculations and entries abilities and traceability statements.
