  • Page 7: Recommendations For Proper Installation (Load Cells)

    Avoid performing welding while the load cells are installed. If welding cannot be avoided, position the welder's ground clamp as close as possible to the welding point to prevent electrical current from passing through the load cell body, which could cause damage. www.anyload.com | +1 (855) 269-5623 ©03/2025 ANYLOAD. Content subject to change without notice.
  • Page 8 While improper earthing may not immediately affect the operation of the weighing system, it can lead to long-term damage to both the load cells and the connected instrumentation. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED A MISUSE OF THE EQUIPMENT www.anyload.com | +1 (855) 269-5623 ©03/2025 ANYLOAD. Content subject to change without notice.
