Hardy HI 1756-FC - Manual (Page 38)

mV/V
DC voltage signals are between 0-15 millivolts. Overloads and negative millivolt
readings are not shown as actual readings but 15.3 for over voltage and 0.0 for negative
voltage. You will need to use a multimeter with a 200 or 300 mVDC range to view the
out-of-range voltages. Millivolt/volt equals the output from a load cell per each volt of
excitation. The HI 1756 FC reads the load cell output in mV/V, which provides higher
resolution (4 decimal places) than an mV reading. This provides more sensitivity to help
you troubleshoot the condition of the load cell under certain conditions. Load cells are
rated in millivolts/volts. To convert to mV, multiply the mV/V times the sense voltage.
IT Test
If your system has an Integrated Technician Summing Junction box, the IT test can help
identify individual load cell problems up to a maximum of four load cell selections.
Sensor Number
Indicates which sensor is under test. Select the target sensor to be tested.
Warning Do not install your HI 215IT summing board in areas susceptible to high vibrations. The
relays on the board can chatter and affect your weight readings and the vibration can
crystallize the solder joints.
