INCORRECT OUTPUT
If the output of the sensor is incorrect when applying a known load, check the following points to troubleshoot the sensor.
Has the wiring and power to the sensor been confirmed?
Check to ensure the sensor wiring pattern from page 4 has been
observed and that power is on to the sensor. It can be helpful to
confirm the power supply to the sensor with an instrument such as a
multi-meter.
Has the sensor been tested outside of the application
on its own?
A lot of items can be eliminated in the troubleshooting by
completely removing the sensor from the application, and fixtures,
and test the sensor on its own with an instrument such as a
multi-meter. The output is specified with a mV/V rating found on
the sensor’s calibration certificate. This means the output of the
load cell at full capacity will be the sensor’s mV/V rating for every
volt supplied to the sensor. Here expect to see a linear output
range from about zero millivolts to your full mV output as the sensor
is loaded from zero to full capacity.
