Special Instructions for Measuring the Insulation Resistance on a Load Cell:
1. Measuring the insulation resistance on a load cell requires special care and cleanness. Small errors when
executing the tests may lead to wrong results.
2. The ambient conditions must be dry, clean, dust-free and free from grease. The underlay has to be of non-
conductive material. Electrostatic charges will influence the measurement result.
3. The input connector has to be dry, clean and corrosion-free. Please take care for the correct fit. The cable of
the load cell has to be absolutely dry and clean. If required dry and clean it. If necessary make a clean strip of
the cable end.
4. Connect the wires of the load cell cable to the correct pins of the input connector, but make sure that the
SCREEN and the BODY are NOT connected.
5. Please don’t touch and move the cable during the measurement.
6. During the measurement the operator should be the only person within a 1 m distance from the test stand.
When the instrument is measuring he should not move.
7. Power on the instrument. Then press the <On/Off> and the < ↓ > keys simultaneously for approx. 2 seconds.
This will start a measurement for the connected cable.
8. Connect the SCREEN and the BODY (of the load cell) to the input connector and subsequently start a load
cell test cycle.
9. Generally verify the repeatability of the measurement results.
