Know the variables your module will be exposed to
What kind of demands will you be putting on your weighing system? Having a good idea of the average usage, as well as any potential higher demands will make sure you find equipment built for the challenge. Things to consider are…
- What kind of chemicals will the system be exposed to ? Are they Corrosive ?
- Will the Weigh Modules be consistently exposed to extreme temperatures of heat ? Extreme cold ?
- Will the Weigh Modules be subject to shock loading or vibration ?
- As with any piece of equipment that produces highly accurate readings, you may occasionally notice that your load cells readings are slightly off. If this is the case, here are a few troubleshooting tips:
Physical inspection can be an easy way to identify misreading culprits.
If your module has become rusted over time, there’s a chance that the internal strain gauge could be affected by corrosion. If there are no immediate visual signs of damage or wear and tear, you’ll want to inspect your sealing areas, junction boxes, and cable. Water damage and physical damage problems are indicators you’ll want to look for, as well as any fraying or crimps in your cable.
