5. Make a visual inspection for faulty connectors, wiring, and loose hardware. SERVICE STRATEGY All parts of the Valor 7000 are designed to be replaced rather than repaired. This includes the Main Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and Switches PCB, the Load Cell, and the cables. For an illustrated list of replaceable parts, see Chapter 5.
CHAPTER 3 MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES 3.3.1 Separating the Top and Bottom Housings Common hand tools are sufficient to disassemble the Valor 7000 scales. Turn the scale off and unplug the power cord before you begin. 1. Lift off the Weighing Pan.
6. Re-connect the Cable connecting the Main PCB to the scale’s power system. (See Figure 3-2.) 7. Insert and tighten the screws that secure the PCB to the bottom housing. Figure 3-3. Main Printed Circuit Board. Valor™ 7000 Series Service Manual Ohaus Corporation www.ohaus.com...
(see table 3-2). Install the load cell assembly to the bottom housing. Insert the bolts and their washers, and tighten the bolts. (See Table 3-1 for torque settings.) 5. Connect the Load Cell cables to the PCB. (See Figure 3-2.) Ohaus Corporation www.ohaus.com Valor™ 7000 Series Service Manual...

4.1.1 TEST MASSES REQUIRED The masses required to test the Ohaus Valor 7000 scales must meet the requirements of ASTM Class 4 or OIML F2 Tolerance. The mass values are listed in Table 4-1. TABLE 4-1. TEST MASS VALUES...
CHAPTER 4 TESTING Performance Tests Accurate performance of the Valor 7000 scale is determined by a series of four performance tests. The displayed readings are compared with the tolerances listed for each test in Table 1-2. Tolerance values are expressed in counts. A one-count difference is shown in the last digit on the scale display.
3. Remove the mass from the platform. 4. Repeat this test starting at Step 1 until you record a total of ten readings Fill in the worksheet (Table 4-2) with the ten (10) readings. Valor™ 7000 Series Service Manual Ohaus Corporation www.ohaus.com...
Calculate the Standard Deviation by applying the square root of the result from step 8. =___________ Standard Deviation Note: If the balance does not meet specifications, move it to a suitable location, ensure that it is level, and try again. Ohaus Corporation www.ohaus.com Valor™ 7000 Series Service Manual...
3. Move the mass halfway (between the center and the edge) to the front of the Pan. Note any differences in the displayed weight reading. 4. Repeat the test for the back, left, and right position of the Pan. Valor™ 7000 Series Service Manual Ohaus Corporation www.ohaus.com...
