Using a millivolt meter, verify that:
• The signal millivolt reading is positive and within the
acceptable range of 0 to 15 mV.
• When weight is applied there is a positive increase
in the signal millivolt readings
• The compression load cell has not been installed
upside down. Refer to the load cell installation guide
for installation instructions.
• No mechanical binding is restricting the vessel
movement during the load
• The load cell wiring is correct
• Each load cell signal changes under load. A single
