Dummy Load Cells
Dummy load cells are sometimes used by OEM installers to prepare for load cells being installed by the vehicle
owner once a vehicle is delivered. Dummy load cells may also be used by installers to perform final welding of
body brackets and bearing plates for perfect fitting and alignment of load cell installations. Rice Lake Weighing
Systems can supply installers with dummy load cells for any RLWS model load cell or load pin.

• Load Simulator, dual 4-pin
• Volt/Ohm meter up to 2000 M Ohms or RLWS Load Cell/Transducer Field Tester
• Narrow flat blade screwdriver for indicator terminals
• Cable ties, wire cutter
• Wire Stripper for 16-20 AWG wire
